Limp Bizkit have issued a fierce public warning to their global fan base, officially calling out a deceptive webstore falsely claiming to be the group's official online retail hub. Taking to social media today, May 29, 2026, the multi-platinum outfit vehemently labeled the operation as a fraudulent storefront peddling "fake bootleg unofficial merch." To counteract the rise of unauthorized bootleggers capitalizing on the band's massive cultural footprint, the group also broke the news that they are actively preparing to launch their first and only authorized, official online merchandise shop "very soon."

The timing of the merchandise warning arrives amidst an unprecedented wave of renewed popularity for the band, driven heavily by a massive influx of Gen Z listeners. Earlier this week, while celebrating the official launch of his new signature Jackson King V guitar, Limp Bizkit guitarist Wes Borland released a mini-documentary reflecting on the band's staggering modern renaissance. Borland noted that current audiences are entirely distinct from their late '90s and early '00s heyday, explaining that when frontman Fred Durst asks audiences if it's their first time seeing the band live, nearly 90% of the hands in the stadium go up. Borland added that the current live energy feels just as massive, if not bigger, than their initial breakout era, fueled completely by a younger generation rediscovering the band's explosive catalog.

In a detailed social media statement, the Poison frontman explained that the event—originally pitched to his team as a non-political, unified celebration to honor veterans, first responders, and working Americans—has shifted into something far more divisive than what he initially signed up for. Michaels further revealed that direct security concerns and "unfounded and unforgivable" threats targeted at his fans, band, family, and crew ultimately forced his hand to exit the Great American State Fair performance, emphasizing that as a father and bandmate, he has to take safety risks seriously.

Michaels' exit follows a chaotic 48 hours for festival organizers, joining a massive wave of cancellations from Morris Day & The Time, Young MC, The Commodores, and Martina McBride, who all stated they were misled regarding the partisan, Trump-backed nature of the public-private partnership. The mass exodus leaves 90s rapper Vanilla Ice and Milli Vanilli's Fab Morvan as the only two originally announced artists confirming they will still perform on the National Mall, while C+C Music Factory's frontman Freedom Williams has publicly wavered on whether he will pull out or play to spite commenters. Despite the fallout, Michaels emphasized his enduring respect for military families and promised his D.C. fans that he fully intends to return to the nation's capital under future circumstances where the focus can remain strictly on the music.

Multi-platinum rap-rock juggernauts Hollywood Undead have officially dropped their emotionally charged new single, “Feels Like Home,” available today via Sumerian Records. Delivering a bruised, melodic anthem that tackles the familiar weight of routine isolation and turning pain into a sense of belonging, the track serves as the latest chapter in a highly successful era for the band. Since signing with Sumerian, the group has sharpened their sonic extremes and re-embraced their iconic masks, dropping a string of successful singles including "Hollywood Forever"—which racked up over 20 million streams and peaked at #18 at Active Rock radio—as well as "SAVIOR," the Slayer-sampling "1x1," and the theatrical "All My Friends" featuring Jeris Johnson.

Coinciding with the fresh track and accompanying lyric video, Hollywood Undead broke the massive news that they will be resurrecting the legendary Taste Of Chaos Tour this autumn as co-headliners alongside theatrical metal titans In This Moment. The 22-city North American run kicks off on September 22nd in Charlotte, North Carolina, and wraps up on October 26th in Anaheim, California, boasting an incredible supporting package featuring I See Stars, Vana, and Melrose Avenue. The tour adds to an already relentless touring year for Hollywood Undead, who are currently heading overseas for a packed summer European festival run. Official artist pre-sales and VIP packages launch Monday, June 1st, at 10:00 AM local time via hollywoodundead.com, followed by venue pre-sales on June 2nd and the general public on-sale on Wednesday, June 3rd.

Longtime allies and political heavyweights Tom Morello (Rage Against The Machine) and Serj Tankian (System Of A Down) have officially reunited to release a devastating new collaborative single titled “ADJOURN IT.” Debuting online today alongside a cinematic music video, the track bridges generations by featuring the shredding talent of Morello’s 15-year-old son, Roman Morello. The release marks an extension of the lifelong bond between Morello and Tankian, who co-founded the Axis Of Justice non-profit organization in 2002 to stand against structural racism and foster grassroots activism within the alternative rock and heavy metal communities.

Described by Morello as a "Freedom Song of crushing riffs for justice and equality," the composition directly confronts the rising tide of fascism and the systematic persecution of immigrants. The accompanying music video visually reinforces these concepts by weaving in historic footage from the blacklisted 1954 independent film Salt of the Earth, a landmark piece of cinema based on the real-world labor strikes of Mexican-American zinc miners battling institutional oppression. Fans can expect to catch Morello, Tankian, and the younger Morello executing these new riffs live this autumn, as all three are confirmed to hit the stage at Morello’s newly announced ‘Power To The People’ festival on October 3rd at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland.

The highly publicized musical footprint for Washington, D.C.'s upcoming "Freedom 250" celebration has completely disintegrated just 48 hours after its initial reveal. In an unprecedented wave of consecutive dropouts, nearly the entire billed roster for the 16-day Great American State Fair has publicly resigned from the event or completely disavowed their involvement. Country pillar Martina McBride and R&B legends The Commodores are the latest to issue stinging public exits, joining previously detached acts Young MC, Morris Day & The Time, Bret Michaels, and the original studio vocalists of Milli Vanilli. The systematic collapse leaves 90s hip-hop figure Vanilla Ice and multi-platinum rap star Flo Rida as the lone remaining mainstays anchoring an otherwise vacant national stage on the National Mall.

The defecting artists have universally accused organizers of extreme lack of transparency, revealing that the booking agents deliberately masked the festival's deep political framing to secure their signatures. In a poignant statement, Martina McBride noted she was explicitly promised a unified, non-partisan showcase celebrating all 50 states, adding that she refused to let her music be weaponized to make fans feel she was "abandoning the meaning behind those songs." The Commodores echoed that sentiment, emphasizing, "Our music has always been our voice and we choose not to publicly affiliate with any single political party." Despite Freedom 250 CEO Keith Krach scrambling to reframe the fair as a neutral celebration of American innovation and military heritage, the event has quickly transformed into an industry-wide cautionary tale regarding undisclosed political sponsorships.

Multi-platinum alternative metal visionaries In This Moment have officially ushered in their next creative chapter with the release of their blistering new single, “Sleeping With The Enemy.” Arriving alongside a cinematic, intensely theatrical music video directed by Michael Lombardi (Finger Eleven, Eva Under Fire), the track highlights the band's signature balance of atmospheric harmony and high-stakes, industrial metal aggression. Frontwoman Maria Brink shared insight on the thematic depth of the new material, stating, “With ‘Sleeping With The Enemy’ and our upcoming album, we’re confronting the darkness—whether it’s inside us or external. It’s about looking that darkness in the face and transforming it into empowerment.”

The track marks the second official preview of the group's highly anticipated, as-yet-untitled ninth studio album, following their previously released collaboration “Heretic” featuring Kim Dracula. Boasting powerhouse production from Drew Fulk (Disturbed, Knocked Loose), the upcoming record will serve as the band's definitive full-length debut under their new label home at Better Noise Music. While the band has deliberately taken their time sculpting the project over the last year and a half, Brink recently confirmed that vocal tracking and studio sessions have officially concluded, signaling that the full-length follow-up to 2023's GODMODE is on the horizon.

Multi-platinum record-breakers Shinedown have officially released their highly anticipated eighth studio album, EI8HT, via Atlantic Records. Arriving in the wake of an unprecedented streak of success—including their record-extending 23rd No. 1 single on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Airplay chart with "Safe And Sound"—the massive 18-track album showcases the band at their absolute creative peak. Produced by bassist and co-songwriter Eric Bass at his Big Animal Studio in Charleston, the record positions Shinedown as "everyone's band," delivering a deeply human, genre-blurring collection of stadium anthems and personal confessions that tackle survival, resilience, and mental health. The expansive tracklist features heavily rotated rock hits like "Dance, Kid, Dance" and "Killing Fields," alongside the cross-over smash "Three Six Five."

To celebrate the global launch, the band is hosting a special livestream event today at 12:30 PM ET featuring a live Q&A broadcast directly from the Hard Rock Cafe in Tampa, Florida, hosted by DJ Rock Feed. Immediately following the fan session at 1:30 PM ET, the band will premiere the cinematic music video for their nostalgic next single, “Young Again.”

Shinedown will take this new material straight to the masses this summer on their "Dance, Kid, Dance Act II World Tour," hitting 11 countries across more than 50 dates with support from Coheed and Cambria, Black Stone Cherry, and From Ashes To New. Continuing their long-standing philanthropic mission, the band will donate $1 from every single ticket sold directly to the City of Hope cancer research and treatment organization.

Californian post-hardcore standard-bearers Pierce The Veil have officially expanded their growing collection of gold and platinum awards this week. "Besitos," the fan-favorite opening track from their sophomore studio album, has officially achieved gold status in the United States, with the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) issuing the formal certification today, May 28th. The track's new accolade follows the continued commercial momentum of its parent album, Selfish Machines, which previously crossed the RIAA gold threshold in July of 2025.

The achievement reflects the band's massive, enduring streaming footprint, as recent years have seen the group continually rack up new certifications across their entire catalog. Under current RIAA guidelines, a gold certification represents 500,000 units earned in the United States, factoring in traditional physical and digital sales alongside modern streaming metrics. To meet these benchmarks, the RIAA calculates track-equivalent units by counting 150 on-demand audio or video streams of a specific song as one individual unit download.
