From its launch in 2023 through its most recent two-night engagement July 3 and 5, 2025 at London Stadium, Metallica’s record-breaking M72 World Tour has been celebrated as among the best of the band’s 40+ years of traversing the globe, with nearly five million members of the Metallica family having attended. Hailed as “an altogether life-affirming experience” (Billboard), “impossible to leave unsatisfied” (Austin Chronicle), “a stone-cold stunner of a show” (Detroit News), and “as tight and furious as Metallica has sounded in ages” (Los Angeles Times), M72 will resume following Metallica’s Life Burns Faster residency at Sphere in Las Vegas, which will run from October 1, 2026 through March 13, 2027.

Metallica covers all administrative costs, so 100% of donations go directly to the organizations supported by the Foundation.

ANTHRAX’S Much-Anticipated Album ‘Cursum Perficio’ and New Video for the Album’s Title Track Arrives Today

Johnnie Crow — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 18:21:05 +0000

ANTHRAX’S

MUCH-ANTICIPATED ALBUM

‘CURSUM PERFICIO’

AND NEW VIDEO FOR

THE ALBUM’S TITLE TRACK

ARRIVES TODAY

WATCH THE RIVETING VIDEO AND

LISTEN TO THE SONG HERE

CURSUM PERFICIO album cover

()

ANTHRAX have released their long-awaited 12^th full-length studio album CURSUM PERFICIO via Megaforce Records along with a riveting video for the album’s title track. To celebrate the album’s release, the multi-GRAMMY® Award-nominated New York hard rock titans—Scott Ian (guitar), Charlie Benante (drums), Frank Bello (bass), Joey Belladonna (vocals), and Jonathan Donais (guitar)—joined fans at a late night in-store signing at Louisville’s Guestroom Records following their September 17 performance at the city’s annual Louder than Life festival.

For the album’s title track “Cursum Perficio,” the band have debuted a new black and white video that captures the song’s tone and message. Director Don Argott (Taylor Swift docu-series) utilized his vérité-style footage with narrative elements for the clip that stars actor London May (American musician and actor who’s also known as the drummer and bassist for Glenn Danzig’s post–Misfits / pre–Danzig band Samhain). Watch the video HERE.

“‘Cursum Perficio’ brought out the beast in me,” says London May. “I broke my finger the very first day and had to beg them to keep shooting. That was real chain [the chain he is shackled with in the video was real metal…heavy and real…not a prop chain] and real pain. I went through hell and back for Anthrax and Don Argott—and I’d happily do it all again!”

“The video for ‘Cursum Perficio’ captures all of the themes I’m exploring in the lyric,” Scott Ian notes. “They’re epic in scope…how do you quantify your life? How do you measure oceans of time and what did you do with it? And were all the struggles worth it in the end?” “What I love about this video is that it matches the tone of the song so well,” Charlie Benante says. “This song has always been the dark horse of the record, this video may be as well.”

ANTHRAX have previously released three singles and videos from CURSUM PERFICIO:

“It’s For The Kids”is a classic ANTHRAX ripper locked and loaded with buzzsaw-sharp riffs, explosive drumming, and a howling and head-banging hook. It undoubtedly has all the makings of a future live staple. Listen HERE and watch the official music video HERE.
It was followed by “The Edge Of Perfection,” highlighted by clean guitar echoes and cymbals that gently shake until a blastbeat blows open the doors. Guitars buzz like a motorboat on the River Styx, making waves through the darkness. In their wake, a crushing rhythm trails the melody of lead singer Joey Belladonna’slament, “My heart breaks…I’m on the edge…I’m on the edge of perfection.” Listen to “The Edge Of Perfection” HERE and watch the official music video HERE.
And last month’s “Everybody’s Got a Plan” featured a live performance video cut with behind-the-scenes backstage fun with cutaways to classic B&W boxing footage that underline the song’s central lyrics: “Everybody’s got a plan/That’s until they get punched in the face…” Watch the videoand listen to the incendiary song, with its massive riffs and ferocious vocals, HERE.

CURSUM PERFICIO marks the band’s first record in ten years since 2016’s For All Kings, which debuted in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200. The phrase Cursum Perficio is Latin for “My journey has come to an end,”“My journey is over,” or “I complete my journey.” It proves apropos for such a complete body of work. It will be available as a standard CD; Target exclusive CD with a fabric patch of the album cover; standard black double LP with pop-up gatefold; Target exclusive double LP, red zoetrope with pop up gatefold; Amazon exclusive double LP, purple zoetrope LP with pop-up gatefold; merch exclusive lilac vinyl double LP with pop-up gatefold; Metal Injection exclusive white vinyl double LP with pop-up gatefold; Talk Shop Live exclusive signed with red ripple vinyl double LP with pop-up gatefold; Indie exclusive – red, orange yellow vinyl double LP with pop-up gatefold.

The band dove into recording CURSUM PERFICIO in earnest during 2022, working out of Dave Grohl’s Studio 606 in Los Angeles. They carefully pieced together what would be this magnum opus, mining their history with reverence, delivering on fan expectations tenfold, and broadening the scope of their signature sound. Produced by Jay Ruston and ANTHRAX, the result is an album that’s as angry, aggressive, and alive as their most celebrated fare.

The CURSUM PERFICIO track listing is as follows:

Persistence of Memory

The Long Goodbye

It’s For the Kids

Everybody’s Got A Plan

The Edge Of Perfection

Infectious

NYC93

Cursum Perficio

T.O.M.B

Watch It Go

My Victory

Their journey has brought them to CURSUM PERFICIO—a powerful, pummeling, and poetic milestone in ANTHRAX’s 45-year career.

Wage War Share “Sweet Dreams” Video and Gear Up for Fall 2026 Headline Tour

LISTEN TO “SWEET DREAMS”

WAGE WAR RELEASE VIDEO FOR NEW SINGLE “SWEET DREAMS” — WATCH

FALL 2026 HEADLINE TOUR WITH WE CAME AS ROMANS, VARIALS, + CANE HILL SET FOR OCTOBER

Florida’s WAGE WAR — Briton Bond [lead vocals], Cody Quistad [rhythm guitar, clean vocals], Seth Blake [lead guitar], Chris Gaylord [bass], and Stephen Kluesener [drums] — recently released the It Calls Me By Name EP via Fearless Records. Listen here. It was a vicious selection of tracks where the band elected to indulge the more brutal side of its sound.

Today, they the release the video for the brand new standalone single “SWEET DREAMS.” And it continues the recent trajectory. While Wage War may have titled the new song “SWEET DREAMS,” it sounds like the soundtrack to your nightmare. And if you are a musical masochist who likes it loud, fast, brutal, and bloodcurdling, this song answers the call. But it’s not all bluster and sonic fists of fury. Rather, the band drops melodic vocals smack dab in the middle of the maelstrom to give you a bit of a breather and to make you think. It’s an excellent execution of dynamics.

Watch the video here.

“‘Sweet Dreams’ is a song about being deceived by the world around you,” the band explains. “About safety in a sense of blissful ignorance. Sonically, it draws inspiration from all of our previous work over the last 10 years.”

Indeed, it combines Wage War’s past and present to create something entirely explosive and new.

Wage War will return to U.S. stages for a headline tour this fall, with We Came As Romans, Varials, and Cane Hill as support. The “Emergncy Broadcast” tour kicks off October 25 in San Antonio and runs through Novemebr 27 in Orlando in the band’s native Florida. Get tickets here.

STARSET RETURN WITH VIDEO FOR RECENTLY RELEASED NEW SINGLE “p a r a d 0 x 1 c” — WATCH

TOURING WITH BREAKING BENJAMIN, CHEVELLE, + KAMI KEHOE THIS FALL

STARSET, who’ve existed at the intersection of music and sci fi for most of their billon-streaming career, kick off their newest era with the new single “p a r a d 0 x 1 c.”

This is STARSET at their most seductive — dark, synth-driven alt rock with a hypnotic pulse.

Known for their interstellar, world-building atmospheres, Starset bridge the gap between cinematic EDM and guitar-forward, textured rock. Here, genres collide, with massive, emotionally-charged, sci-fi-bred hooks and an explosion of riffs. Ultimately, it’s a neon-soaked, synth-infused track that feels like a transmission from the future. “p a r a d 0 x 1 c” stands as a world of its own — layered and encapsulating, and a harbinger of what’s to come.

Watch the accompanying video here.

Since emerging in 2013, Columbus, Ohio’s STARSET have become one of modern rock’s most distinctive and commercially successful acts, amassing nearly 5 billion global streams, including more than 1.7 billion on Spotify alone, earning RIAA Platinum and Gold certifications, scoring multiple Billboard Mainstream Rock Top 10 hits, and building a devoted global fanbase through cinematic storytelling and immersive live productions that blur the line between concert and science-fiction experience.

Lauded by Forbes as having “one of the most firmly established brands of any modern rock band,” STARSET are creating a true multimedia empire with music at its core. STARSET are one of the most successful and visually and conceptually ambitious acts in rock music. The band’s impact is best captured in its massive numbers: STARSET have accumulated billions of streams worldwide. Their breakout hit “My Demons” has become a rock staple, earning multi-platinum certifications and dominating alternative and active rock charts. Meanwhile, their cinematic, sci-fi–driven live shows sell out venues across North America, Europe, and beyond — due to the passionate vigor with which their fanbase follows the band.

Continuing to push creative boundaries both on and off the stage, STARSET will bring their transportive live production to cities across North America throughout September and October.

German Symphonic Metal Icons XANDRIA Present Album’s Title Track “Eclipse”

WATCH OFFICIAL VIDEO FOR “ECLIPSE”

GERMAN SYMPHONIC METAL ICONS XANDRIA PRESENT VIDEO FOR NEW ALBUM’S TITLE TRACK “ECLIPSE” — WATCH

NEW ALBUM, ECLIPSE, RELEASED VIA NAPALM RECORDS — ORDER

ECLIPSE EUROPE TOUR ANNOUNCED FOR FALL 2026!

Just a few days ahead of the release of their new album, Eclipse, German symphonic metal icons XANDRIA unveil the record’s title track and final single alongside an official music video. “Eclipse” showcases the exceptional versatility of vocalist Ambre Vourvahis, highlighting the full range of her remarkable voice: From soft, emotional passages and powerful rock vocals to intense growls and soaring operatic sections. Bringing all of these vocal styles together in a single metal song, performed by one singer, is a truly rare achievement.

Driven by heavy guitars and dramatic orchestral arrangements, the German band, with a career spanning more than 30 years and numerous high-charting releases, continues to raise the bar. They demonstrated exactly that last weekend with their appearance on Germany’s ZDF-Fernsehgarten, one of the country’s most popular television shows.

Fans can experience XANDRIA’s captivating live performance this Saturday on the main stage at Germany’s M’era Luna Festival, where the band will celebrate the release of Eclipse. They will then embark on an extensive European tour, kicking off this September.

Band mastermind Marco Heubaum comments on the title track:
“‘Eclipse’ is fast, heavy and full of fire. The sun represents the light of civilisation, while the moon slowly moves in front of it and leaves the world in darkness. Musically, the song turns this image into an epic battle, with Ambre moving between powerful rock vocals, operatic singing and growls in a performance that still leaves me speechless. But an eclipse does not last forever. The song is about refusing to accept the darkness as the new normal: ‘No, we won’t let them win this war.'”

Watch the official music video for “Eclipse” HERE.

With their latest album (2023) being XANDRIA’s most successful release to date, entering the Official German Album Charts at #9, the upcoming Eclipse, releasing this Friday, August 7 via Napalm Records, is taking the band on their most diverse path yet. It features eleven tracks that represent the most diverse body of work in the band’s discography so far: every song has its own identity—a journey full of discoveries—yet they all belong to the same world. Classic, ’80s-inspired metal riffs stand alongside low-tuned modern metal guitars, cinematic orchestral sounds meet Celtic folk influences, and dark electronic elements blend with intimate rock moments, even including a guitar solo that owes more to Pink Floyd than to any metal genre.

Eclipse marks XANDRIA’s most outspoken and cinematic album so far: A dark, colourful, and defiant statement for reason, empathy, and democracy in times when all three are under attack, brought to life by a band fueled with new energy, new ambitions, and a clear artistic direction, aiming higher than ever and not looking back!

Order your copy of Eclipse HERE.

While The Wonders Still Awaiting (2023) marked the rebirth of XANDRIA with a new line-up — an album that opened the door to a new era — Eclipse goes further. It is more focused and direct, the lyrics are more outspoken, dealing almost entirely with what is happening to our civilization right now. The contrasts are stronger, and the different musical and vocal colours feel even more naturally integrated into the songs. As XANDRIA’s sole composer, Marco Heubaum musically draws inspiration from all aspects of his surroundings: music, stories, and emotions that have shaped him since childhood. It is no secret that film scores have always been another major influence, especially composers like Hans Zimmer and John Williams.

ECLIPSE TRACK LISTING:
“Syzygy”
“Eclipse”
“Colours”
“The Shannon’s Home”
“The Grand Delusion”
“Wave of Tanis”
“Northstar”

Wang, a Hollywood pianist who has worked at Hans Zimmer’s studio. In addition, the band has once again collaborated with the Sofia Session Orchestra & Choir, known for their work on numerous film and television scores, including His Dark Materials. All songs were orchestrated by two film score composers working in Hollywood: Lukas Geppert, who worked on the scores for Nobody 2 and the latest Final Destination, and Ishaan Tyagi, who has contributed to productions such as Wuthering Heights.

BAND UNLEASHES NEW SINGLE “CRAWL” — LISTEN HERE

WATCH THE OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO HERE

The next era of IN THIS MOMENT is nigh.

IN THIS MOMENT, the GRAMMY® Award-nominated, multi-platinum heavy alternative force of nature, return today with a new single and music video entitled “Crawl.” Listen HERE. Watch the music video HERE.

Most importantly, however, it heralds the arrival of their ninth full-length offering and debut LP for Better Noise Music, WITCH, on AUGUST 28. Pre-order + pre-save HERE.

“Crawl” seethes and surges in signature IN THIS MOMENT style. Anchored by a gut-punching riff and seismic vocals courtesy of inimitable frontwoman MARIA BRINK, the song sets its hooks in, holds tight, and never lets go. It’s worthy of obsessing over—like all of the group’s best material over the years.

About the track, IN THIS MOMENT, Brink offers, “‘Crawl’ is a reckoning — a reflection that those who dominate and cause pain will ultimately reap what they sow. As above, so below. The fall is inevitable. Bearing witness to the harm they inflict, the song declares that those who once stood tall will be brought to their knees.”

Co-founder and guitarist CHRIS HOWORTH furthers, “‘Crawl’ is a visceral track that delivers the undeniable observation of powerful entities dominating and abusing the weaker and compromised masses — something that continues to repeat itself throughout human history. The song empowers and, at its core, is about standing up and fighting back.”

However, it’s just the beginning. WITCH showcases every side of IN THIS MOMENT: The fury, the femininity, and the fire. It’s an 11-track opus that does not relent in intensity and introspection. However, the band didn’t go it alone. This time around, the band tapped friends Dayseeker for “I Want To Believe,”; Kim Dracula for “Heretic,”; and Kat Von D for a cover of the Pink Floyd classic “Another Brick In The Wall.”

“WITCH is my declaration of inner transformation,” states Brink. “It’s about embracing the duality within — taking pain, persecution, and struggle — and alchemizing them into strength and power. The album reflects both ancient trials and my own journey — where being a ‘witch’ means being a creator, connected to the universe, manifesting my own reality.”

The spell has been cast. Allow WITCH to possess you.

ITM teased this chapter with “Sleeping With The Enemy.” Beyond reeling in over 1 million streams, it earned critical acclaim. Rock Sound hailed it as “blistering,” and Revolver plugged its power.

Led by the magnetic presence of Brink, the band has turned its fusion of spectacle, vulnerability, and massive melodic hooks into a global phenomenon, earning platinum-certified success and more than two billion career streams along the way.

Since coming to life in 2005, IN THIS MOMENT have presided over a diehard fan base under the watch of “mother” figure and aforementioned Brink — joined by co-founder and lead guitarist Chris Howorth, bassist Travis Johnson, guitarist Randy Weitzel, and drummer Kent Diimmel. They have steadily emerged as one of the most influential and impactful bands of the 21st century.

To date, In This Moment has amassed over 2 Billion streams globally. In addition to the Gold-selling album, BLOOD [2012], the quintet has also garnered seven Gold and two Platinum singles, followed by a trifecta of Top 25 entries on the Billboard 200 with BLACK WIDOW [2014], and RITUAL [2017].

Between selling out headline tours coast-to-coast, the group performed in arenas and have appeared at countless festivals from Lollapalooza to Sonic Temple. They assembled their seventh full-length, the aptly titled MOTHER [2020] with longtime trusted collaborator Kevin Churko [Ozzy Osbourne, Five Finger Death Punch]. MOTHER breathed the activating mantra of an unbreakable spell, commenced on first single “The In-Between,” which received a GRAMMY® nomination in 2020 for “Best Metal Performance.”

In 2022, the band released BLOOD 1983 [BMG], a reimagined EP commemorating the ten-year anniversary of BLOOD. Then in 2023, the longtime staples of heavy music released their eighth studio album GODMODE [BMG], a 10-song record featuring the powerful lead single “The Purge,” a stunning cover of Björk’s “Army Of Me,” the collaborative track “Damaged,” which featured Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills, and “I Would Die For You,” which appeared on the soundtrack for John Wick: Chapter 4.

The next era of In This Moment will amplify everything they’ve built with this mantra: “Your voice, our flame. Set your truth on fire.”

CURSUM PERFICIO album cover

ANTHRAX have released the latest single and video, “Everybody’s Got A Plan,” from their long-awaited 12^th full-length studio album CURSUM PERFICIO out September 18 via Megaforce Records.

The new video was mostly filmed on July 7 in Lisbon, Portugal when the multi-GRAMMY® Award-nominated New York hard rock titans—Scott Ian (guitar), Charlie Benante (drums), Frank Bello (bass), Joey Belladonna (vocals), and Jonathan Donais (guitar)—toured with Iron Maiden in Europe. It features live performance footage and behind the scenes backstage fun with cutaways to classic B&W boxing footage that underline the song’s central lyrics: “Everybody’s got a plan/That’s until they get punched in the face…” Watch the video and listen to the incendiary song, with its massive riffs and ferocious vocals, HERE.

“‘Everybody’s Got a Plan’ has always been one of my favorite songs on Cursum Perficio,” Benante says. “The video basically shows the band on and off stage in a montage of video clips that kinda matches the velocity of the song. ‘Everybody’s got a plan/That’s until they get punched in the face’ is such a great line, and so true!”

“Most of this video was shot opening for [Iron] Maiden in Lisbon, Portugal at Estádio da Lu on July 7, 2026,” Ian notes. “We wanted to capture us having fun on tour and what better way to do that? That was a plan that didn’t end up with a punch in the face! Have fun watching my friends!”

Bello adds, “This video is a great representation of a day in the life of Anthrax on tour.”

ANTHRAX have previously released two singles and videos from CURSUM PERFICIO: “It’s For The Kids” a classic ANTHRAX ripper locked and loaded with buzzsaw-sharp riffs, explosive drumming, and a howling and head-banging hook. It undoubtedly has all the makings of a future live staple. Listen HERE and watch the official music video HERE. It was followed by “The Edge Of Perfection,” highlighted by clean guitar echoes and cymbals that gently shake until a blastbeat blows open the doors. Guitars buzz like a motorboat on the River Styx, making waves through the darkness. In their wake, a crushing rhythm trails the melody of lead singer Joey Belladonna’slament, “My heart breaks…I’m on the edge…I’m on the edge of perfection.” Listen to “The Edge Of Perfection” HERE and watch the official music video HERE.

Meanwhile, the group recently announced they were rolling out uniquely animated short clips based on the album cover, with the first clip shared July 28. The worked with artist Mark Stritzel for the striking cover and the animation was done by Emmanuel Cappellini. Mark initially worked with the band’s Charlie Benante on the characters featured on the album cover. Watch the first clip HERE and listen to the story HERE. Every Tuesday, the group will unveil the individual stories of each character featured on the album. Beyond the Magician’s story, subsequent weeks will reveal more about the Woman In White, Dog, Winged Skeleton, and concluding September 1 with Hands.

The weekend’s memorable music was led by showstopping headlining performances from Disturbed, Bad Omens and Limp Bizkit, as well as Papa Roach, Cypress Hill, Hollywood Undead, Gojira, The Used, Sleeping with Sirens, A Day To Remember, Motionless In White, Ice Nine Kills and many more.

This year’s massive event also offered an incredible number of special performances and collaborations, including:

●Gojira performing With Paleface Swiss drummer Luigi Paraventi behind the kit

●Ice Nine Kills welcoming Alissa Gluz-White on “Twisting The Knife”

●Fit For A King’s Ryan Kirby joining Motionless In White

●Sleeping with Sirens celebrating 15 Years of Let’s Cheers To This

●Rev Theory’s rare reunion

●Alien Ant Farm celebrating 25^th anniversary of ANThology

Beyond the music, other unique elements of Inkcarceration Music & Tattoo Festival included 100 tattoo artists and tattoo competitions fans were able to take part in, as well as the Blood Prison haunted attraction and tours of the prison made famous in the movie The Shawshank Redemption.

DWP’s paranormal investigative video series Paranormal Prison, which documents some of the supernatural experiences at Ohio State Reformatory with the help of Inkcarceration bands and hosts Josh Bernstein and Katrina Weidman (Ghost Hunters, Paranormal Lockdown), was filming all weekend. Participating bands included Motionless In White, Hollywood Undead, Starset, The Used, Lorna Shore, Get Scared, Alien Ant Farm and more. Future episodes will be available on the DWP YouTube channel and on Loudwire.

Now in its 8^th year, America’s Rock & Metal Tattoo Festival once again drew fans from every state and many countries around the world, driving an overall economic impact that has totaled more than $60 million since the festival began in 2018.

Here’s what the media had to say about Inkcarceration Music & Tattoo Festival 2026:

“Organizers have once again curated a lineup celebrating all things heavy.” — Revolver

Immediately following their September 17 performance at the city’s annual Louder than Life festival, ANTHRAX will meet fans at Louisville’s Guestroom Records (1330A Bardstown Rd). Beginning at 12:01 AM on September 18, the multi-GRAMMY® Award-nominated New York hard rock titans—Scott Ian (guitar), Charlie Benante (drums), Frank Bello (bass), Joey Belladonna (vocals), and Jonathan Donais (guitar)—will be signing copies of the new album.

CURSUM PERFICIO album cover

Thus far, ANTHRAX have released two singles and videos from CURSUM PERFICIO: “It’s For The Kids” a classic ANTHRAX ripper locked and loaded with buzzsaw-sharp riffs, explosive drumming, and a howling and head-banging hook. It undoubtedly has all the makings of a future live staple. Listen HERE and watch the official music video HERE. It was followed by “The Edge Of Perfection,” highlighted by clean guitar echoes and cymbals that gently shake until a blastbeat blows open the doors. Guitars buzz like a motorboat on the River Styx, making waves through the darkness. In their wake, a crushing rhythm trails the melody of lead singer Joey Belladonna’s lament, “My heart breaks…I’m on the edge…I’m on the edge of perfection.” Listen to “The Edge Of Perfection” HERE and watch the official music video HERE.

BRIAN SETZER: “It’s good to be healthy and strong again. There’s something about the unique sound of The Stray Cats that keeps drawing me in. The Gretsch guitar, the acoustic bass, and the stand-up drums still sound pure and fresh today. Come on out and have some fun with us this summer.”

About THE STRAY CATS:

THE STRAY CATS, the band that put Rockabilly music back on the record charts in the early ’80s, scored several big hits on both sides of the Atlantic thanks to a striking visual 1950’s style brought “up to date” with exaggerated pompadours and colorful tattoos and as well as genuine musical chops that evoked the best players of rockabilly’s original heyday. Formed by guitarist/vocalist Brian Setzer, upright bass player Lee Rocker and drummer Slim Jim Phantom in the Long Island town of Massapequa, NY, in 1979, the trio shared a love for Rockabilly music. After banging around New York for a few months, in the summer of 1980, and seeing a pompadoured kid on the cover of UK magazine NME, they hopped a plane to London where a rockabilly revival movement was just beginning to emerge. Their massive hits and videos include “Runaway Boys,” “Rock This Town,” “Stray Cat Strut” “(She’s) Sexy + 17,” and “I Won’t Stand in Your Way.”

Dogma Unleash Cinematic New Single – My Matricidal

Johnnie Crow — Fri, 10 Jul 2026 23:05:42 +0000

DOGMA’S NEW SINGLE “MY MATRICIDAL” ASKS A DANGEROUS QUESTION: WHO DO YOU TRUST?

LISTEN | WATCH

Photo credit: Pol Van Dark

Following a breakout year that saw DOGMA sell out every European headlining show, complete its largest Latin American tour to date, and continue its rapid international ascent, the band returns today with “My Matricidal,” the highly anticipated new single and music video.

“My Matricidal” is a theatrical collision of aggressive guitars, ritualistic percussion, haunting cinematic soundscape, soaring vocal performances, and a relentless series of sonic blows that steadily escalate toward a towering climax. The result is a dark, emotionally charged composition that expands the band’s signature blend of hard rock, metal, and provocative storytelling.

Accompanying the single is an ambitious new music video that expands the narrative introduced in “Fate Unblinds,” revealing another key piece of the puzzle while raising new questions about everything that came before.

Watch “My Matricidal” Video Here

Regarding the new release, Lilith comments, “The themes explored in ‘My Matricidal’ are not really about betrayal. They are about recognition. There comes a moment in every person’s life when something they believed, trusted, or accepted can no longer withstand reality. Most people spend their energy focusing on the deception itself, but I think the more important question is what happens after the truth becomes impossible to ignore. Some people retreat into anger or denial. Others choose to learn from it and move forward with greater clarity. That moment of choice has always fascinated me because it ultimately shapes the direction of a person’s life. The truth reveals itself in time. What you do with it is your responsibility. You shape your fate.”

The release arrives at a pivotal moment in DOGMA’s continued growth. During the first half of 2026, the band completed its largest European and Latin American touring cycle to date, performing for thousands of fans across both continents. Every European headlining show sold out, including appearances in London, Manchester, Wolverhampton, Bristol, Eindhoven, Hamburg, and Munich.

The momentum continues this summer as DOGMA returns to Europe for appearances at major festivals including Copenhell, Basinfire, Tuska, Rockharz, Rock Imperium, and Resurrection Fest, alongside a special headlining performance in Istanbul.

With the release of “My Matricidal,” DOGMA maintains a single position: The truth reveals itself in time.

Upcoming festival dates:

Jun 29: Istanbul, Türkiye · Blind
Jul 2: Ballenstedt, Germany – Rockharz Festival
Jul 4: Viveiro, Spain · Resurrection Fest
Jul 5: Cartagena, Spain · El Batel Park

Motionless In White Share Video for “R.I.P.” (Feat. Skylar Grey)

NEW ALBUM DECADES ARRIVES JULY 17 VIA ROADRUNNER RECORDS — PRE-ORDER HERE

SUMMER 2026 “THE SWEAT AND BLOOD” HEADLINE TOUR SET FOR JULY

LEG 2 OF TOUR TAKES PLACE THIS FALL

Platinum-selling, Scranton, PA powerhouse MOTIONLESS IN WHITE will release their new album DECADES July 17 via Roadrunner Records. Pre-order it here.

Today, the band shares thew new song “R.I.P.” (Feat. Skylar Grey).

Watch the video here.

The video was directed by Jensen Noen, who also lensed the “Werewolf” and “Sign Of Life” videos.

The track evokes the power of a lover’s lament inscribed on a headstone. Piano twinkles through the haze of funereal synths, where the dual male-femal vocals entwine on an epic chorus boosted by soaring harmonies. It’s everything you want, love, and expect from Motioneless In White.

“Skylar’s voice brought it to another level that I never could have achieved on my own,” says singer Chris Motionless. “I really love the lyrics for this song. Even though I wrote it through a romantic lens, I love that it can be applied to any moment in your life when you’ve had a falling out with someone you deeply care about, whether that’s a best friend, family member, or romantic partner.”

He continues, “The song really hones in on the deafening silence that follows after you’ve said hurtful things to one another that you wish you could take back. It’s meant to capture the tension that exists in that quiet space of separation. You want to apologize and make things right, but you don’t know how. You want to tell them you love them more than anything and can’t live without them, but there’s a lot of pain on both sides that has to be confronted first. All the while, you’re left with the crippling uncertainty of whether the relationship can ever recover and move forward, or if it’s destined to be laid to rest and gone forever.”

DECADES TRACK LISTING:
“Decades”
“log_in//crash_out”
“R.I.P.” (Feat. Skylar Grey)
“Fight Like Hell”
“Playing God” (Feat. Corey Taylor)
“All That I’ve Ever Known”
“Blood Rave” (Feat. Anthony Martinez)
“Love At First Bite”
“Count Back From Zero”
“Blood Pact”
“Afraid Of The Dark”
“Sunglasses At Night”
“Hollywood” (Bonus Track)
“Fight Like Hell” (Feat. Outlier) (Bonus Track)

Motionless In White recently wrapped a Spring 2026 arena tour with Bring Me the Horizon that saw them obliterate NYC’s Madison Square Garden. The band will next return to the road on the headline The Sweat and Blood Tour, promoted by Live Nation. Lorna Shore, Fit For A King, and Static Dress will serve as support. The North American tour is the band’s first American headlining tour in nearly three years and kicks off on July 14 in Bridgeport, Connecticut, with stops in Charlotte, Houston, Austin, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Oklahoma City, and more before wrapping up on August 15 in Sterling Heights, Michigan. It also includes a stop at Red Rocks, the band’s first time headlining the venue.

But it doesn’t stop there.

Motionless In White have also announced the second leg of The Sweat and Blood Tour. Dayseeker will serve as direct support. The Devil Wears Prada and Dark Divine will also appear. This leg fittingly kicks off the night before Halloween in Worcester and runs through November 20 in Pittsburgh.

Motionless In White are at home in the dark. For over 20 years, the quintet — Chris Motionless [vocals], Ricky Olson [guitar], Ryan Sitkowski [guitar], Vinny Mauro [drums], and Justin Morrow [bass] — have resided in their own shadowy corner of alternative music and culture. The group’s uncanny alchemy of metal, hardcore, goth, industrial, and electronic has magnetically attracted an ardent audience, fueling a quiet rise out of the Rust Belt and into arenas as a headlining force of nature. Their D.I.Y. work ethic drives the evolution of an immersive world where stunning visuals match the scope of the sound. The collective comes full circle on their seventh full-length offering Decades. For as much as it conjures their signature style, the LP sees them continue to confidently cut a path through uncharted territory, spreading a little darkness in their wake.

Decades features several high-profile and eclectic guest appearances. In addition to Taylor, Sklyar Grey, and Dark Divine‘s Anthony Martinez also feature on the album. The band recorded Decades in Upstate New York and Los Angeles with co-producers Drew Fulk and Justin “JD” deBlieck and ultimately incorporated their past, present, and future sounds into one cohesive sound. This is Motionless at their very best.

“We were never afraid to take risks,” observes Chris. “This band has not only lasted two decades, but we’ve also outlasted all of the obstacles we’ve faced. We’re still grinding. No matter how far we expand the universe that is Motionless In White, we’re going to preserve the heart, soul, and roots of where we came from. We are never going to abandon heartfelt, emotional, and heavy songs. We are never going to abandon what mattered to us the most when we started. We’re finding new ways to emphasize those stories with exciting sounds and looks, but the vision is the same. It’s always been this grand, dramatic, and theatrical entity. I’m proud we haven’t gotten comfortable.”

He finishes, “Decades is definitely heavier than some of our past albums. Our current world bred more aggressive energy, anger, and resistance.”

YES Release Their 24th Studio Album ‘Aurora’

Johnnie Crow — Wed, 17 Jun 2026 12:26:04 +0000

YES

RELEASE NEW ALBUM

‘AURORA’

THEIR 24^THSTUDIO ALBUM

IS AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE TODAY, JUNE 12,

VIA INSIDEOUTMUSIC/SONY MUSIC

YES—Steve Howe, Geoff Downes, Jon Davison, Billy Sherwood, and Jay Schellen—have today (June 12) released their 24^th studio album AURORA via InsideOutMusic/Sony Music. Watch the album trailer HERE.

As Howe explains: “Making this record was joyful, a chance to play, explore and give everything to the music. It’s always been about collaboration, somebody can write a song, but until everybody puts their contribution in, it isn’t really a Yes song. We’re not trying to echo the past; we’re carrying the spirit of Yes forward and turning it into something new.”

An album review posted at The Prog Report underlines the heart of AURORA. “The dynamics, diversity, musicianship, and sheer confidence on display throughout these 60 minutes reveal a band that is still creatively alive, still evolving, and still capable of taking listeners somewhere unexpected.”

YES have already given their fans two tastes of the album with the singles “Aurora” (April 10) and “Turnaround Situation” (May 20). Watch the Matt Hutchings-directed video for “Aurora” HERE and the visualizer he created for “Turnaround Situation” HERE.

AURORA is available as a Limited Deluxe 180g Light Green 2LP+2CD+Blu-ray Artbook & Poster, as well as a Ltd Deluxe 2CD+Blu-ray Artbook, both featuring the stunning artwork of Roger Dean and Freya Dean, as well as a bonus disc of instrumentals, and a Blu-ray featuring Dolby Atmos, 5.1 Surround Sound & 24bit stereo mixes (by Curtis Schwartz). The album is also available as a Gatefold 180g 2LP + LP-booklet, Special Edition CD Digipak & as Digital Album. Pre-order now here: https://yes-band.lnk.to/Aurora

The AURORA track listing is as follows:

Aurora 07:27
Turnaround Situation 05:50
Love Lies Dreaming 06:24
Countermovement 13:48
Ariadne 06:18
All Hands on Deck 03:04
Outside the Box 04:20
Emotional Intelligence 03:30
Jambustin’ (Bonus Track) 04:24
Watching the River Roll (Bonus Track) 04:42

When YES first began sketching out ideas for what would become the process was loose and exploratory. There was no preconceived concept at the start, just a collection of musical fragments that gradually began to find one another and take form. Among these early sketches was a piece titled “Aurora,” and it quickly became clear that the name carried certain gravity. It suggested light, emergence, and a sense of vastness, qualities that resonated deeply with the band. Jon Davison remembers how “the title immediately resonated with Steve Howe and sparked visual inspiration for artist Roger Dean, setting a conceptual tone that would guide the project.”

Work on AURORA began almost as soon as the ‘Classic Tales of Yes’ tour ended in 2024. The idea of a new album surfaced quickly and with the label’s encouragement, the band had the time to develop material organically. Rather than gathering in a single studio for months, they embraced a modern workflow; ideas were born in home studios, shaped independently, and then woven together through constant collaboration. Downes and Howe often acted as the central creative axis, with Howe, as producer, serving as the point through which all ideas eventually flowed.

Across AURORA, each track carries its own character. Some echo the classic approach, others push into new territory, but together they form a cohesive whole that honors the band’s heritage while embracing forward motion. With their 24th studio album, YES demonstrate not just longevity, but a sustained curiosity, a desire to keep exploring, refining and discovering their capacity to create.

It was recorded at producer Justin Raisen’s (Kim Gordon, Charli xcx) Los Angeles home studio alongside musicians assembled in the spirit of the Wrecking Crew session players in the ’60s and ’70s, and its sound takes perpetual influence from the alternative sounds of the late ‘80s and early ‘90s: Pixies, Soundgarden, Cocteau Twins, The Breeders, PJ Harvey, The Muffs, Björk, Alice in Chains, L7, Juliana Hatfield.“I’ve listened to that stuff since I was a kid,” Grohl says of the blend of sounds evidenced on the album’s singles “

THUM,” “595” and “Cool Buzz.” Also out today is a Nikki Milan Houston-directed music video for album track “Bug in the Cake,” which can be seen below. Grohl will make her television debut on June 3 on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.“Everything was written in the studio,” Grohl says of the Be Sweet To Me material. “I would come in with an inspiration playlist, we would hang and listen for a little while, and then start writing.” “Violet is so well-versed in all styles of music; every playlist was different,” says Raisen, describing Violet’s assemblages of trip hop, new wave, Scandinavian black metal, ’70s acoustic folk, and vocal jazz. “She showed me a number of things that I wasn’t familiar with; her encyclopedic knowledge of music is crazy.”

WATCH THE “BUG IN THE CAKE” VIDEO:

Critics are already raving about Be Sweet To Me, with NYLON stating, “Violet Grohl is the most authentic successor we’ve had to ‘90s alt rock in a long time, and if you’re skeptical of that claim, just let the music speak for itself.” SPIN wrote, “The songs from Be Sweet To Me aren’t tentative. They arrive loud, fuzzy and dangerously catchy.”Violet’s first-ever headline tour kicks off tonight with a sold-out show in Los Angeles and continues this month with sold out shows in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, D.C.

On “Ego”, The Warning channel defiance into empowerment, refusing to let outside judgment or other people’s insecurities dictate their identity, choices, or success.

The accompanying music video mirrors the song’s intensity with striking visuals that further amplify the band’s fearless presence and rebellious spirit. The band notes, “we loved shooting “Ego”! This music video is all about reclaiming your power, embracing confidence, and standing tall in your identity… even when the world is watching. It’s always so special for us to release music in our first language, Spanish, and we hope you love this song and video as much as we do.”

The Greek mythology-themed ShipRocked 2026 featured more than 30 bands onboard, with a special Halestorm “ShipDocked” show on the ship’s deck stage just before departing Nassau, along with multiple performances from Motionless In White and Knocked Loose, plus Wage War, AWOLNATION, Suicidal Tendencies, Avatar, Starset, Sleep Theory, From Ashes To New, Kittie and more.

The overall music lineup for ShipRocked 2026 featured Halestorm, Motionless In White, and Knocked Loose, along with Wage War, AWOLNATION, Suicidal Tendencies, Avatar, Starset, Sleep Theory, From Ashes To New, and Kittie. The full SR26 lineup was rounded out by ’68, Andy Wood Trio, Archetypes Collide, aurorawave, The Barbarians of California, Dead Poet Society, DeathByRomy, Dinosaur Pile-Up, Emi Grace, Fox Lake, The Funeral Portrait, GANG!, Holy Wars, House Of Protection, Kemikalfire (Arejay Hale & Taylor Carroll), Lowlives, LYLVC, Not Enough Space, The Pretty Wild, Shepherds Reign, UnityTX, Zero 9:36, and all-star band The Stowaways.

Some of the highlights and special moments during ShipRocked 2026 included:

A Meet & Greet and special “ShipDocked” performance from Halestorm on the ship while in port in Nassau in The Bahamas.
Motionless In White performed their version of Rammstein’s “Du Hast” for the first time since 2018.
Wage War played a surprise acoustic set in the ship’s Atrium lobby lounge the last night of the trip.
Vocalist and founder Aaron Bruno treated fans to multiple sets with his bands AWOLNATION (including a euphoric singalong of “Sail”) and The Barbarians Of California.
No mere stage was enough to contain the perpetual motion of Suicidal Tendencies, whose Tuesday afternoon deck set carried the energy of the Half Moon Cay beach party – with Shepherds Reign, Aurorawave, and a chaotic Beach Wars led by GANG! – into the night.
Avatar brought a fitting ShipRocked twist to their trademark theatrical flair, as they emerged in matching bathrobes, drinking rum punches for the coveted “sailaway set” as the Carnival Horizon pulled away from the Port of Miami.
Starset live debuted their new song “We Are Empire,” performing in their classic space suits.
In addition to their two electric sets, Sleep Theory treated fans to a special unplugged performance at the ShipRocked loyalty party for longtime ShipRockers.
The DJ set with J-Dog, Charlie Scene, and Funny Man of Hollywood Undead turned into an impromptu performance of sorts, with members sometimes singing along with Hollywood Undead tracks.
Eric Vanlerberghe (I Prevail) joined Wage War on “Nails.”
Ricky Armellino (Ice Nine Kills) took the stage with The Funeral Portrait for “Suffocate City,” singing the parts originally done by Spencer Charnas from Ice Nine Kills.
Brandon Saller (Atreyu) joined Aurorawave onstage for “INFERNO” (a song he recorded with the band).
Amanda Lyberg (Eva Under Fire) guested with The Funeral Portrait for “Voodoo Doll,” the track she recorded with the band for their Greetings From Suffocate City album.
Acclaimed illustrator and cartoonist Jay Howell (Bob’s Burgers, Sanjay And Craig) created unique caricature portraits of guests and band members during the cruise.
The Music Experience lounge hosted a guitar clinic with Marcos Curiel of P.O.D.
Fans packed the Ocean Plaza lounge for a special one-night-only performance from Kemikalfire, featuring Arejay Hale (Halestorm) and Taylor Carroll.
Many ShipRocked guests got up early on Thursday to enjoy a packed “Morning Music” acoustic set with Brandon Yeagley and Chris Bishop from Crobot.
The ShipRocked onboard tattoo parlor featured artists from Paradise Tattoo in Florida, and Chris Bishop (Crobot) of Snake Eyes Tattoo in Austin.
The Stowaways’ all-star band punctuated ShipRocked‘s “Rock Hard, Vacation Harder” mantra with a “party hardest” Wednesday deck stage set that spanned a half century of good-time hits (including, of course, Andrew W.K.’s “Party Hard” with Chad Nicefield and Leo Moracchioli on vocals). Eric Vanlerberghe (I Prevail) and Amanda Lyberg (Eva Under Fire) got the party started with Alice Cooper’s “School’s Out”; Crobot’s Brandon Yeagley reached back to the ’50s for The Isley Brothers’ “Shout,” joined by Ricky Armellino (Ice Nine Kills) on guitar; Hollywood Undead’s Funny Man and Charlie Scene traded vocals on Billy Idol’s “Rebel Yell,” with J-Dog on bass; With Dylan Bowman (I Prevail) on guitar and Matt Wantland (10 Years) on bass, Brandon Saller (Atreyu) and Sonny Sandoval (P.O.D.) had 3 decks of the Carnival Horizon singing along with Papa Roach’s “Last Resort”; Former Guns N’ Roses guitarist Bumblefoot led vocalists Moriah Formica (Plush), Amanda Lyberg, Matt James (Blacktop Mojo) and Leo Moracchioli through a set-closing “Paradise City.”
The Weather Gods proved no match for the Rock Gods, as The Stowaways’ Friday night finale “Zeus Medusa” set brought heavy metal thunder to the Horizon‘s intimate Ocean Plaza stage (moved inside from the deck stage) with a set featuring classics from Ozzy Osbourne, Metallica, Led Zeppelin, White Zombie, Pantera, Avenged Sevenfold, and more.

The stellar group of musicians joining The Stowaways in 2026 included Eric Vanlerberghe and Dylan Bowman from I Prevail, Charlie Scene, Funny Man and J-Dog from Hollywood Undead, and Ricky Armellino from Ice Nine Kills, along with Al McManus (ASK4 Entertainment), Andy Wood (Andy Wood Trio), Matt Wantland (10 Years), Johnny Hetherington (Art of Dying), Brandon Saller (Atreyu), Doc Coyle (former Bad Wolves), Brandon Ellis (Black Dahlia Murder), Matt James (Blacktop Mojo), Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal, Chad Nicefield (Chad Nicefield Trio), Kiarely Castillo and Kristen Sturgis (Conquer Divide), Brandon Yeagley (Crobot), Leanne Bowes (Demi Lovato), Diamante, Amanda Lyberg (Eva Under Fire), Tom Hane (former In This Moment), Leo Moracchioli (Frog Leap), Marcos Curiel and Sonny Sandoval (P.O.D.), Moriah Formica (Plush), Bobby Amaru (Saliva), Shaun Smith (Shaun Smith Trio), Jackson Foster (Silly Goose), Tavis Stanley (Saint Asonia), Alex Bent (former Trivium) and Joey Varela (VRSTY).

During the 2026 cruise, the annual ShipRocked Cancer Sucks! onboard charity auction raised a record-breaking $200,000, bringing the total amount to more than $1.2 million raised on ShipRocked to date for innovative medical research and finding a cure for cancer.

In addition to nonstop music, photo meet & greets, tropical port visits, wild activities and games, theme nights, an onboard tattoo parlor and more, ShipRocked includes traditional cruise activities with a rock/metal twist, such as ShipRocked Beach Wars, a blackjack tournament, dodgeball tournament, live band karaoke, game shows, singles mixers, trivia contests and heavy metal morning yoga.

A floating music festival, a rock & roll summer camp held in the dead of winter, a family reunion for the growing number of ShipRockers who have forged lifelong relationships out of a shared passion for music (and an occasional bucket of beer) – ShipRocked is the premier rock music cruise vacation, offering dozens of performances and unique collaborations, artist-hosted events and activities, theme nights, and ample opportunity for fans and bands alike to unwind and create new friendships in tropical paradise.

Amy Harris with Consequence.net aptly described ShipRocked, saying it “wasn’t just a party at sea; it was a living, breathing ecosystem of metal, community, and collective release…this isn’t just a music festival on a boat — it’s a full-blown community forged at sea.”

Dropkick Murphys

Release New Song “Citizen I.C.E.”

To Speak Out Against the Tragic Killings In Minnesota

Appearing On The Upcoming New England Forever Split LP

With Tourmates Haywire

Hear The Song And Pre-Save The Album Here

Dropkick Murphys’ For The People…In The Pit St. Patrick’s Day Tour

Kicks Off February 9

(February 4, 2026): Dropkick Murphys have just released their new song “Citizen I.C.E.” (featuring Haywire) via all digital platforms, prior to the digital and physical release of their 12” vinyl split LP with Haywire titled New England Forever.

Check out the song here and pre-save the album here.

“Citizen I.C.E.” is a reimagined version of Dropkick Murphys’ 2005 song “Citizen C.I.A.,” recorded in late 2025. DKM recently previewed the song on social media, with a video drawing attention to the tragic killings in Minneapolis.

The band posted this message on their social accounts about the song:

“As Americans are being executed in the street, we feel it is our duty to raise consciousness, and be one of the voices speaking against this nightmare. CITIZEN I.C.E. is FOR THE PEOPLE. Stand strong against tyranny. Use it however you want.

In Solidarity, with Love, Dropkick Murphys”

In “Citizen I.C.E.,” Dropkick Murphys sing:

Power-hungry scumbags

Apply today

Come celebrate dictatorships and bolster the regime

While abusing helpless immigrants, a bully’s wet dream

You’ve joined the traitors’ ranks to play the hand of God

In a dirtbag grifter’s kidnapping squad

Citizen I.C.E.

As previously announced, the vinyl version of New England Forever, which includes “Citizen I.C.E.,” will be available exclusively at shows during Dropkick Murphys’ February 9 – March 17 For The People…In The Pit St. Patrick’s Day Tour with The Aggrolites and Haywire supporting on most dates. The U.S. trek culminates March 13, 14, 15 and 17 in Boston with Dropkick Murphys’ annual run of hometown dates during St. Patrick’s Day week, which brings together DKM fans from around the globe.

Boston-based Dropkick Murphys and Haywire–who got to know each other while touring Europe together last fall–each recorded three original songs as well as a cover version of one of each other’s songs for the 8-song LP. Haywire recorded Dropkick Murphys’ “The Boys Are Back” and Dropkick Murphys recorded Haywire’s “Always By My Side.”

The track listing for New England Forever is as follows:

Kevin Rheault (bass)

Campbell Webster (bagpipes and Uilleann pipes)

About Dropkick Murphys: Dropkick Murphys proudly remain Boston’s rock ‘n’ roll underdogs turned champions. Since 1996, the boys have created the kind of music that’s meant to be chanted at last call, in packed arenas, and during the fourth quarter, third period, or ninth inning of a comeback rally. Their celebrated discography includes four consecutive Billboard top 10 album debuts (Turn Up That Dial, 11 Short Stories Of Pain & Glory, Signed and Sealed in Blood, Going Out In Style), along with 2005’s Certified-Gold album The Warrior’s Code featuring the double platinum classic “I’m Shipping Up To Boston.” Whether you caught a legendary gig at The Rathskeller (The Rat) under Kenmore Square, found the band by taking the T to Newbury Comics to cop Do Or Die in ’98, discovered them in Martin Scorsese’s Academy Award winning The Departed, or saw ‘em throw down at Coachella (or one of hundreds of other festivals), you’ve become a part of their extended family. Dropkick Murphys’ music has generated half-a-billion streams, they’ve quietly moved 8 million-plus units worldwide and the band has sold out gigs on multiple continents. Dropkick Murphys’ official charity, The Claddagh Fund, has raised millions of dollars to support non-profit organizations that are focused on children, veterans and addiction recovery. In 2020, the band was one of the first to embrace streaming performances, starting with their Streaming Up From Boston St. Patrick’s Day virtual performance. It was followed by their landmark Streaming Outta Fenway livestream, which drew more than 5.9 million viewers and held the #3 spot on Pollstar’s “Top 2020 Live Streams” chart. Dropkick Murphys St. Patrick’s Day Stream 2021…Still Locked Down, was #1 on Pollstar’s Livestream chart for the week ending March 22, 2021, logging over 1 million views. Dropkick Murphys returned in 2022 with their first-ever all-acoustic album, This Machine Still Kills Fascists (Dummy Luck Music / Play It Again Sam), and seated theater tour. This Machine Still Kills Fascists–and their follow-up album Okemah Rising–breathe musical life into mostly unpublished lyrics by the legendary Woody Guthrie, curated for the band by Woody’s daughter Nora Guthrie. Dropkick Murphys’ current album For The People rises to its moment: an expression of humanity at a time of relentless dehumanization, a promise of hope in an era fueled by fear-mongering, a declaration of solidarity in an age of disunion, a defiant rebuttal to the charlatans and demagogues who seek to divide us for their own power and profit.

Tortuga Music Festival 2026: 3 Days of Sand and Song with Post Malone, Riley Green and Kenny Chesney

Jaggar Vrana — Sun, 11 Jan 2026 03:46:59 +0000

Tortuga Music Festival 2026 Is Calling: Three Days of Sand, Songs, and Sea Turtle Season

If your ideal spring weekend includes boots and beach towels, Tortuga Music Festival is lining up a big, salty comeback. The 13th annual Tortuga takes over Fort Lauderdale Beach (1100 Seabreeze Blvd.) April 10–12, 2026, turning the shoreline into a three-day blend of country, rock, and roots—with the ocean as the loudest “stage design” flex imaginable.

Start your planning here: the official festival hub is https://tortugamusicfestival.com/ and passes/ticket details live at https://tortugamusicfestival.com/passes/ (the festival notes that Front Gate Tickets via Tortuga’s site is the valid ticketing provider).

First-line headliners: a three-headed main-stage monster

Tortuga 2026’s top line is built for maximum singalong whiplash: Post Malone, Riley Green, and Kenny Chesney headline across the weekend.

Post Malone at a beach festival is the kind of genre-blender Tortuga loves: a stadium-sized hitmaker who can pivot from pop-rap swagger to guitars-and-heartbreak energy without breaking a sweat. Riley Green brings the lived-in storytelling and barroom charm that country crowds practically require by law. And Kenny Chesney? He’s basically a coastal weather system—rolls in, turns thousands of people into a single chorus, leaves happy wreckage in his wake.

Rock The Ocean’s Tortuga Music Festival 2026

Second-line firepower: the “how is this not a headliner?” tier

The next row down on the lineup reads like a festival promoter showing off. Dwight Yoakam adds legendary country credibility, while Tyler Hubbard and Russell Dickerson bring the modern radio-friendly rocket fuel for sunset sets.

Then Tortuga swerves—in the best way—by pulling in Ice Cube and The Fray, giving the weekend a throwback jolt and cross-genre range that keeps the vibe from being “same hat, different day.” Add names like Dustin Lynch, Clay Walker, Flatland Cavalry, Lukas Nelson, and more, and you’ve got undercards that can easily become the stories you tell after the fact (“We only came early to get a good spot and then… wow.”).

Music with a mission (and a reason to feel slightly less guilty about sunscreen)

Tortuga is hosted by the Rock The Ocean Foundation, and a portion of ticket proceeds supports ocean and marine-life conservation. So yes, you’re partying—but you’re also (indirectly) helping protect the watery kingdom that makes the whole beach-festival idea possible.

Passes are on sale now, and the festival notes single-day passes aren’t available at this time—plan for the full three-day immersion.

Ezra Ray Hart at Tortuga Music Festival 2025

Jaggar Vrana — Sun, 15 Jun 2025 03:36:08 +0000

Ezra Ray Hart’s Tortuga Music Festival 2025 set was pure “time machine with sunscreen”—the kind of cross-generational crowd-pleaser that turns Fort Lauderdale Beach into a singalong you didn’t realize you still had memorized. The supergroup (Mark McGrath of Sugar Ray, Kevin Griffin of Better Than Ezra, and Emerson Hart of Tonic) didn’t waste time explaining the concept; they just proved it, stacking recognizable hooks and big-chorus dopamine like it was their civic duty.

What hit hardest was how effortless the chemistry felt. This wasn’t three frontmen taking turns with polite handoffs. It was a shared victory lap—one minute you’re in glossy, sunlit pop-rock mode, the next you’re in throat-grab emotional alt-rock, and somehow it all works because the through-line is confidence and craft. Vocally, they balanced crowd-leading swagger with moments that actually landed with weight, which is rarer at a festival than it should be.

The band kept everything punchy and tight, built for outdoor sound: crisp guitars, drums with real snap, and just enough space in the mix for the crowd to become the fourth instrument. Ezra Ray Hart also understood Tortuga’s chaotic physics (wind, sand, side conversations, people drifting in and out) and played to it—big gestures, quick banter, and momentum that kept passersby from passing by.

In a lineup dominated by country heavyweights, Ezra Ray Hart delivered a different kind of headliner energy: nostalgia with teeth, executed like pros who still love the punchline.

Rock The Ocean’s Tortuga Music Festival Continues To Amplify

Sustainability Efforts and Ocean Conservation

Rock The Ocean’s Tortuga Music Festival, in partnership with Live Nation, hosted fans for a weekend of unmatched entertainment featuring headliners Luke Combs, Jelly Roll, and Keith Urban. Dubbed a “a sun-drenched, beachside country festival that doubles-up as a key fundraising event for ocean conservation” with an “impressive roster of performers” (Holler.) the 12th annual festival brought over 40 artists ranging from country’s hottest new stars like Parker McCollum, Jordan Davis, Megan Moroney, Shaboozey, rap legend Ludacris, and more.

On Friday, the Sunset Stage kicked off Tortuga with performances from John Morgan and Marcus King. Marcus King treated the crowd to a cover of Tyler Childers’ “Shake The Frost,” and was later joined by his wife, Briley, for a few songs. The crowd went wild as Ludacris took the stage to celebrate 25 years of hits with bangers like “Money Maker” and “What’s Your Fantasy.” Over on the Main Stage, the festival opened with Angie K, Gavin DeGraw, Gary Allan, and Parker McCollum, who welcomed in the first sunset of the festival with his hits “Pretty Heart” and his new single, “What Kinda Man.” To close out opening night, fan favorite Jelly Roll delivered an explosive set, lighting up the sky with pyrotechnics during songs like “Liar,” “Hard Fought Hallelujah,” and “Save Me.”

The high energy carried into Saturday, with nearly 20 performances set against a sunny backdrop and a sea of eager fans. The Main Stage came alive as the Wheeland Brothers created the atmosphere with their signature blend of surf rock and reggae, performing their hit “Rock Me Like The Ocean.” The stage continued to shine with performances from rising stars Wyatt Flores, Meghan Patrick and Jordan Davis, each bringing their own unique flair to the festivities. Meanwhile on the Sunset Stage, country’s hottest new star, Shaboozey, took the Sunset Stage and had the crowd singing along to his hits, creating an unforgettable moment under the Florida sun. The Sunset Stage also hosted The Original Wailers, who brought reggae vibes to the crowd, while supergroup Ezra Ray Hart energized the audience with a medley of Sugar Ray’s “When It’s Over” and Violent Femmes’ “Blister in the Sun.” Closing out the Main Stage, Keith Urban ignited the crowd with an unforgettable set that had fans enthusiastically singing along to classics like “Somebody Like You” and “Blue Ain’t Your Color.” He also invited up-and-coming artist Karley Scott Collins for a duet on “GO HOME W U.”

Wrapping up the sunny, star-studded weekend, fans at the Sunset Stage were treated to unforgettable performances from artists like Restless Road, Bumpin Uglies, Yelawolf, and a crowd filled with singalongs to Megan Moroney’s hits “Am I Okay” and “No Caller ID.” Over on the Main Stage, the festivities kicked off with Caylee Hammack, who sang a unique country-laden version of Chappell Roan’s “Good Luck, Babe!” She was followed by country-rock anthems from Corey Kent and Cody Jinks, who each brought their own distinctive energy to the weekend. The night reached its peak as Luke Combs wrapped up the 2025 festival with an energy-filled set full of hits like “Forever After All” and “When It Rains It Pours,” leaving the crowd buzzing with excitement and ending the 2025 festival on a high note.

Since its debut in 2013, Tortuga has been making waves—raising millions and supporting over 100 nonprofits dedicated to ocean conservation and marine life protection. These efforts have spanned across the U.S., Bahamas, South Africa, and Asia, with groundbreaking research making a real impact. In 2024 alone, thanks to the incredible support from Tortuga fans, 114.7 tons of materials were diverted from landfills through the festival’s sustainability and recycling initiatives. In 2025, Tortuga’s sustainability efforts have focused on three key goals: Reduce, Rethink, and Restore. These goals aim to cut down on CO2 emissions and landfill waste, embrace eco-friendly products and cutting-edge technologies, and adopt policies that protect marine ecosystems and champion ocean conservation. One of the festival’s standout features is Rock The Ocean’s Conservation Village, where attendees can discover exactly how their ticket purchases are making a difference and learn how they can personally contribute to the cause.
