Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis has confirmed that all three 2027 headliners have been booked, while addressing rumours linking Madonna to the festival. The festival had a fallow year in 2026 to allow the ground at Worthy Farm to rest, but it is returning next summer between Wednesday June 23 and Sunday June 27. As usual for the festival, they have not announced any names for next year as of yet, but Madonna has been strongly rumoured to be a possible headliner, after the release of her new album ‘Confessions II‘. Eavis appeared on BBC Radio 4’s PM programme earlier today (August 14) and she was asked directly whether Madonna would be topping the Glastonbury 2027 bill. “No, it’s…

The immortal vocalist’s interpretations of classics by Hank Williams, Ray Price, George Jones, and more While Elvis Presley’s musical output was defined more by rock & roll in the Fifties and Sixties, and, later, by easy listening ballads and orchestral anthems, the vocalist maintained a strong affinity for country music throughout his career. The Seventies especially found Presley diving wholeheartedly into country recordings: his final Number One single would be on the country charts, with 1977’s “Moody Blue.” As Elvis fans remember the King on the 49th anniversary of his death — and gear up for next year’s 50th anniversary…
On Wednesday night, Slash played songs from 1987 to a stadium crowd in New Jersey. Roughly 20 hours later, he walked onto a different stage and it was 1987 again — this time on purpose. The occasion was The Lost Boys, the Tony-winning musical adaptation of Joel Schumacher’s vampire comedy, which opened in theaters 10 days after Appetite for Destruction. Onstage, the show’s Santa Carla boardwalk glowed in neon; the ensemble worked crimped hair, leather trenches, fishnets and biker boots. In that light, the timing felt less like coincidence than homage. Slash appeared early, during the rousing rock-club scene in…
A California bill that would have limited the price for concert tickets that are resold in the state has failed. The bill, known as AB 1720, also known as the California Fans First Act, failed to move forward from the States Appropriations Committee on Thursday. The bill, which was originally introduced in February by state assemblymember Matt Haney, aimed to curb ticketing scalping by brokers and resale platforms by placing limits on the resale price of concert tickets. It would have capped the cost of concert tickets resold in California at a maximum of 10 percent higher than a ticket’s…

The Reytons have claimed their second UK Number One album with ‘A Love Letter To A Broken Town’. The Rotherham band’s self-released fourth studio record entered the Official Albums Chart at the top spot today (August 14), emulating 2023’s ‘What’s Rock And Roll?’ to become their second chart-topper. It has also topped the Official Vinyl Albums Chart, and frontman Jonny Yerrell has highlighted the fact that the achievement has come despite the lack of mainstream radio support for the album. “This week has been overwhelming, the love and support we have felt from our community has been incredible,” he said. “This has to be the first album…
After six long years, the singer-songwriter’s new album Lost Weekend is out now Phoebe Bridgers‘ new album Lost Weekend is finally here, and the singer-songwriter celebrated the release by dropping a music video for “I Can’t Wait.” The album highlight, placed towards the end of the track list, features Geese frontman Cameron Winter on backing vocals. (At least, we’re about 99 percent sure it does. He’s technically listed in the credits as “Son-John Johnson,” and he made a joke about having to call his lawyer when we asked him.) The video, directed by Chris Maggio and Pablo Rochat, features a…
“Baby, if you leave me, can you take me with you?/I can sit in the back seat.” That’s what passes for a joke on Lost Weekend. In its dramatic plotting, Phoebe Bridgers’ first album in six years, which is out today, parallels the latest by Olivia Rodrigo—one of Bridgers’ many understudies, to be sure. Just take out all the good times. “I Can’t Wait” is a mini-laser light opera in the album’s dolorous back half. A foamy crest of flyover synth-rock ebbs suddenly at the 1:30 mark, unearthing a campfire singalong accompanied by the strains of Chris Thile’s mandolin. The…
This cover story was produced in partnership with Rolling Stone Canada O n their long journey towards becoming Rush again, Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson pushed past death, illness, age, self-doubt, and for one guy, a weed habit that dated back to 1966. They just didn’t count on the fog. In early June, the resuscitated band was about to begin its first concert in 11 years, the kick-off of its Fifty Something tour. Backstage at Los Angeles’ Kia Forum that Sunday evening, Lee was feeling tense, Lifeson less so. “I was, surprisingly, not really that nervous,” the guitarist says. At…
