Brian and Michael D’Addario brought their full arsenal to Paris in 2024 for ARTE’s Ground Control session, delivering a performance that moves through power-pop hooks, baroque melodies and glam-rock swagger with the kind of casual virtuosity that makes The Lemon Twigs one of the most compelling live acts in modern rock, trading instruments and lead vocals throughout a set that draws deep from the DNA of the Beatles, the Beach Boys, T-Rex and Big Star while sounding completely and unmistakably their own.
Foo Fighters Bring ‘Your Favorite Toy’ to Colbert With New Drummer Ilan Rubin in Tow
Foo Fighters are fully in motion behind ‘Your Favorite Toy,’ their 12th studio album, and the television appearances are stacking up.
The band stopped by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert for a performance of “Caught in the Echo,” the album’s opening track, plus a web exclusive run through “Window” and a 12-minute sit-down with Grohl covering the album’s marketing, Nirvana reflections and his thoughts on the upcoming debut from his eldest daughter Violet Grohl, due May 29. The band also visited SNL UK for two songs, and a Grohl-directed video for album track “Spit Shine,” featuring the band surviving a zombie apocalypse, is out now. ‘Your Favorite Toy’ marks the studio debut of Ilan Rubin on drums, a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee through his work with Nine Inch Nails and the youngest musician ever inducted by the Hall at age 32.
New Wave Icons The Psychedelic Furs and Living Colour Team Up for 23-Date Summer Tour
Two of rock’s most distinct and enduring voices are hitting the road together, and the pairing makes more sense than it might first appear.
The Psychedelic Furs and Living Colour have announced a 23-date summer co-headlining tour launching July 31 in Park City, Utah and closing September 6 in Miami Beach. The run covers the Midwest, Northeast and South with notable stops at The Rooftop at Pier 17 in New York, MGM Music Hall at Fenway in Boston, the Riviera Theatre in Chicago and The Anthem in Washington, D.C. Fan presale is available now with password FURS2026, with general on-sale Friday, May 8 at 10 a.m. local time.
The Psychedelic Furs have remained a consistent live force, known for moody new wave classics like “Pretty in Pink,” “Love My Way” and “Heartbreak Beat,” and their 2020 album ‘Made of Rain,’ their eighth studio record, was widely praised as a strong return to form. Frontman Richard Butler has kept the creative energy sharp across decades of touring and writing, and the band continues to draw from that catalog with real conviction on stage.
Living Colour spent 2025 celebrating their 40th anniversary with live dates on both sides of the Atlantic, and also took a significant moment to induct their hero George Clinton into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, performing “Cosmic Slop” to open the ceremony. A follow-up to 2017’s ‘Shade’ is in progress, and guitarist Vernon Reid released his solo album ‘Hoodoo Telemetry’ last fall. Singer Corey Glover has also been active on the road, opening acoustic shows for Soul Asylum. The band’s genre-blending heavy rock, funk and political edge remains as sharp as ever.

Simply Red’s Valentine’s Day Farewell at the Sydney Opera House Is Streaming Now
Simply Red played the Sydney Opera House on Valentine’s Day 2010 as part of their Farewell Tour, and the setting couldn’t have been more fitting for a band whose catalog is built on longing, warmth and emotional precision. Mick Hucknall’s voice moves through the full set with effortless range, from the quiet ache of “Holding Back the Years” to the soulful peaks that made ‘Stars’ one of the best-selling albums of the 1990s, all framed by a live ensemble and one of the world’s great concert halls glowing over Sydney Harbour.
Reggaeton Legend Yandel Brings the ‘SINFÓNICO’ Tour to U.S. Arenas This Fall

The Puerto Rican urbano legend is extending his acclaimed “SINFÓNICO” tour with nine new U.S. arena and amphitheater dates this fall, promoted by Live Nation and kicking off September 25 at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. The run closes November 1 at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado, one of the most storied outdoor venues in North America, and covers San Jose, Laredo, Houston, Hidalgo, El Paso, Las Vegas and San Diego in between. Before the U.S. leg launches, Yandel also plays a special free one-night-only hometown show at La Plaza de Cayey in Puerto Rico on May 9, celebrating Mother’s Day weekend. The “SINFÓNICO” tour has already demonstrated serious pulling power, with a sold-out Radio City Music Hall date in New York City grossing $689,432 off 5,942 tickets.

Urbano Star Omar Courtz Upgrades to Arenas for Expanded ‘Por Si Mañana No Estoy’ U.S. Tour
Omar Courtz is moving up fast, and the rooms are getting bigger to prove it.
The Puerto Rican urbano star has expanded and upgraded his “Por Si Mañana No Estoy – USA Tour,” jumping from smaller venues into major arenas including the Kia Forum in Inglewood and United Center in Chicago, driven by sellouts and overwhelming demand across key markets. Just last year, Courtz was performing rooms of 1,200 to 1,300 capacity. This August and September, he’s filling arenas coast to coast across 17 dates. Presale for previously ticketed fans opens May 7 at 10 a.m. local time, with general on-sale May 8 at 10 a.m. at LiveNation.com.
The momentum behind the tour is real and traceable. Courtz’s sophomore album ‘POR SI MAÑANA NO ESTOY,’ a genre-blending run through R&B, reggaeton, afrobeats and trap, debuted at number one on Spotify’s Top Albums Debut Global chart and number three on the Top Albums Debut USA chart, helping him build an audience of more than 29 million monthly listeners on the platform. His profile got another significant boost when Bad Bunny featured him on “VeLDÁ” from the Grammy Award-winning album ‘DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS,’ one of the most talked-about records of the past year.
The tour kicks off August 19 at SAP Center in San Jose and runs through September 19 in Orlando, with two-night stands at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, Kaseya Center in Miami and Kia Center in Orlando. For ticketholders affected by venue upgrades, purchases will be automatically transferred to comparable seats.

Grammy Winners Punch Brothers Launch Their Most Extensive Tour Since 2019 With New Album On the Way
Punch Brothers are hitting the road harder than they have in years, and they’ve got a new album to back it up.
The Grammy-winning quintet, mandolinist Chris Thile, guitarist Chris Eldridge, bassist Paul Kowert, banjoist Noam Pikelny and violinist Brittany Haas, launches a 64-city North American tour on May 14, their most extensive run since 2019. The tour celebrates the upcoming seventh album ‘The Unsung Adventures of Punch Brothers,’ due July 24 from Nonesuch Records, and it’s a genuine cross-continental undertaking, covering the East Coast, South, Midwest, Rockies, Southwest, West Coast and Canada with headline stops at Carnegie Hall in New York and the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, plus festival appearances at Newport Folk Festival, Telluride Bluegrass Festival and Spoleto Festival.
‘The Unsung Adventures of Punch Brothers’ is fully instrumental, eight original compositions and three arranged traditional songs, and the title carries real meaning. Without lyrics, these are stories told entirely through melody and rhythm across five strings. It’s also the first album to feature Haas, who joined the band in 2023. “This music is the result of what feels to me like our deepest but also most joyful exploration of the American string band in the twenty years we’ve been making music together,” says Thile. “Something about the dichotomy of all the water under the bridge plus a new, brilliant teammate in Brittany. We all felt like kids in a candy store.” The record was produced by the band and engineered by Joseph Lorge, whose work on Pino Palladino and Blake Mills’ ‘That Wasn’t a Dream’ earned him a Grammy for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical.
The band won their Grammy for Best Folk Album for ‘All Ashore’ in 2018 and have spent the years since expanding their reach through “The Energy Curfew Music Hour,” their musical variety podcast, which won Most Innovative Audio Experience, Best Live Podcast Recording and Best Sound Design at the 2025 Signal Awards. Punch Brothers have partnered with PLUS1 for the tour, with $1 from every ticket supporting organizations working for equity, access and dignity. General on-sale begins May 8 at 10:00 AM local time, with VIP packages available throughout.
