Tom Morello has revealed another wave of legendary musicians joining the lineup for his upcoming 'Power To The People' festival. Black Sabbath's Geezer Butler, Anthrax's Scott Ian, and Pearl Jam's Mike McCready are among the newly confirmed performers taking the stage at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland on October 3. They join an already stacked bill that features Bruce Springsteen, Foo Fighters, Cypress Hill, and Serj Tankian.

Billed as a day celebrating music and collective action, the event will feature a Freedom Village for advocacy groups while donating ticket proceeds to good causes like VoteRiders and HeadCount. Morello emphasized the core mission driving the festival in an official statement:
> The ‘Power To The People’ festival is about freedom, justice, equality and rock and roll.

The festival arrives as Morello prepares to release his new solo album, 'Everyone Gets Everything They Want', this Friday. Attendees will have the opportunity to register to vote and engage with community partners throughout the unforgettable day. Which artist on this stacked lineup are you most excited to see perform live?

In This Moment vocalist Maria Brink has officially confirmed plans to release her long-awaited debut solo project, titled Maria Brink's COVEN, before the band begins work on their next full-length record.

Speaking with Rock Sound, Brink shared that pursuing the solo effort now provides the perfect window of creative freedom while allowing co-founder and lead guitarist Chris Howorth the space to develop the follow-up to their recently released ninth studio LP, Witch:

"I am doing my first solo project between [In This Moment's recently released ninth album, 'Witch', and the band's next LP]. Maria Brink's COVEN — I'm gonna call it COVEN, and that's gonna be my first thing that I've done [as a solo artist]. And then that gives Chris and I some extra time to really perfect the next In This Moment album between the two. I'm excited."

Brink has discussed venturing into a solo lane for years, previously teasing a softer, atmospheric, and deeply personal departure from In This Moment’s heavy, theatrical stage production:

"It doesn't frighten me, it sounds amazing. I love change. I'm a Sagittarius and I love adventure and new beginnings... When I play piano by myself and sing, something really special happens. I connect to something that I love. My favorite moment in our In This Moment set is when I go out by myself to play a song on the piano. That would be me being able to do that for a whole intimate set, and I think it would fill my soul."

Music icon Lionel Richie is recovering after undergoing a heart procedure to treat atrial fibrillation following a series of onstage health scares during his recent tour.

A representative confirmed the news, noting that the 77-year-old singer is in good spirits and expected to return to performing after taking time off to heal:

"The doctor said everything went perfectly. Lionel is doing great but will take some time off and will be back on stage soon."

Due to his recovery, Richie's upcoming shows with Earth, Wind & Fire—September 26 in San Francisco, September 30 in Chicago, and October 2 in Columbus, Ohio—have been canceled. The cancellations follow a summer run disrupted by medical concerns, including an incident in St. Paul where Richie stopped a performance early after experiencing dizziness, and a precautionary hospitalization in St. Louis in late August.

Richie is currently slated to return to live performances next month for his Las Vegas residency, scheduled to kick off October 14.

After taking a pause in 2026, Boardwalk Rock is officially returning to the Ocean City Inlet from May 14–16, 2027.

Organizers originally announced in late 2025 that the rock festival would sit out 2026 due to challenges that arose when two planned headliners dropped out, making it difficult to assemble a full, top-tier lineup in time. However, officials confirmed Tuesday that the event is locked in to make its comeback with promoter C3 Presents:

“While we are disappointed to take a pause in 2026, we are fully committed to working with C3 Presents to bring the festival back stronger than ever in 2027," said Ocean City Business Development Director Tom Perlozzo.

The return builds on the momentum of the inaugural 2025 edition, which drew massive crowds to the beach with a lineup featuring heavy-hitters like Rob Zombie, Shinedown, Nickelback, and Def Leppard. Alongside Ocean’s Calling and Country Calling, the festival remains a flagship event for the resort town.

Lineup announcements and ticket details for 2027 will be revealed in the coming months.

Who do you want to see headline the beach when Boardwalk Rock returns in 2027? Sound off with your wishlist in the comments below!

Falling In Reverse frontman Ronnie Radke has stepped in to defend System of a Down vocalist Serj Tankian after portions of the SOAD fanbase voiced anger over Tankian’s appearance on the new single, "Joseph."

The heavy collaboration, which arrived September 14 alongside a music video directed by Jensen Noen, marks the first time Tankian and Slipknot’s Corey Taylor have ever joined forces on the same recording. However, the release triggered blowback across social media, with some System of a Down listeners calling the feature an unwelcome surprise and voicing frustration over Tankian and Taylor associating with Radke.

Radke addressed the hostility aimed at Tankian directly, delivering a concise defense of the singer:

"Serj is a good man. Leave him alone."

"Joseph," titled after Radke's own middle name, represents Falling In Reverse's first new release in over a year and continues to spark debate across the metal community as listeners react to the historic pairing.

What are your thoughts on Serj Tankian teaming up with Ronnie Radke and Corey Taylor? Should fans separate the music from artist controversies? Sound off in the comments below!

Judas Priest founding bassist Ian Hill was forced to sit out the band's London concert at the Eventim Apollo after suffering a badly damaged tendon in his left arm.

The band announced the news via social media, confirming that Uriah Heep bassist Dave Rimmer—who also plays alongside guitarist Richie Faulkner in Elegant Weapons—would step in so the show can proceed:

"Ian has a badly damaged tendon in his left arm so unfortunately he won't be able to play at our Hammersmith Apollo Eventim show on Monday 21st September....our good friend Davey Rimmer (Uriah Heep) will be playing with us so the show will go on. Ian sends his grateful appreciation to our fans for your caring and understanding."

Hill remains the sole original member of Judas Priest since their formation in 1969. The band is currently traveling on their 2026 "Faithkeepers" world tour in support of their 19th studio album, Invincible Shield.

Former Guns N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver drummer Matt Sorum has addressed the possibility of a band reunion with Halestorm frontwoman Lzzy Hale on lead vocals. While Sorum expressed enthusiasm for the idea, no formal announcement regarding a Velvet Revolver reunion has been made. He noted that he remains uncertain about the current plans of former bandmates Slash and Duff McKagan.

Sorum has spent much of the past year publicly reflecting on the band's legacy and feels their story remains unfinished. He believes the group had the talent and momentum to reach a level comparable to Guns N' Roses before their eventual dissolution.

> “Whew. Yeah, I mean, come on. I’d do it, [the comeback with Lzzy Hale on vocals],” Sorum said. “I don’t know what those other two guys [Slash and Duff] are up to, but give ’em a call.”

Velvet Revolver originally formed in 2002 when Sorum, Slash, and McKagan teamed up with guitarist Dave Kushner. Previous efforts to find a replacement vocalist after Scott Weiland repeatedly stalled over the years. How do you feel about Lzzy Hale potentially taking over vocals for a Velvet Revolver comeback?

Rock revivalists Dirty Honey have officially announced their third full-length studio album, Catch My Butterfly, set to arrive on January 15, 2027. Produced by John Feldmann (Blink-182, Korn), the upcoming 14-track effort marks the next evolution in the band's gritty, authentic sound.

To launch the new era, the trio—frontman Marc LaBelle, guitarist John Notto, and bassist Justin Smolian—released two contrasting singles simultaneously: the high-octane riff-rocker "Lights Out" and the soulful, acoustic-driven "Butterfly."

Frontman Marc LaBelle reflected on reaching the three-album mark and the growth behind the record:

"I'm very proud of our perseverance. Any band has to really survive to make a third record. We've made mistakes in the studio, gotten over past regrets, lived more, and become better songwriters. All of those things snowballed into 'Catch My Butterfly'."

LaBelle also revealed the personal, emotional subject matter driving the title track, which tackles the realities of addiction from the outside looking in:

"There are addiction issues in my family. I tried to write from a different perspective — either that of a father to an addicted child or the family member of an addict. In this scenario, you're so overcome with worry about whether or not your loved one is alive or dead at any given moment. My thought was, 'If you don't get high, there's no way that you're going to catch this person who is so beautiful in your eyes, but so broken at the same time.'"
