Jeremy McKinnon has shared new details regarding the progress of A Day To Remember’s upcoming project, Big Ole Album Vol. 2. In a recent interview with Kerrang!, the vocalist confirmed that while the band is currently working on the follow-up to last year's Vol. 1, they are not yet in a position where any of the material is finished.

McKinnon emphasized that the goal for the new installment is to create a standalone experience rather than a compilation of tracks left over from the previous sessions. He noted a desire for the two volumes to be viewed as distinct works, expressing an aim for fans to eventually "argue" over which release is superior. Additionally, the frontman highlighted an interest in using fan reactions from Vol. 1 to inform the songwriting process for Vol. 2, allowing the band to adjust their direction in real time.

The update follows the March 13 release of "ALWAYS LET YOU DOWN," a collaborative single between A Day To Remember and Bilmuri. McKinnon expressed high regard for Bilmuri’s Johnny Franck, stating he is open to future collaborations. While no release date for Vol. 2 has been set, the band is confirmed to perform at Download Festival in June 2026.

Today, March 15, the world of rock and roll celebrates the birthday of the legendary Dee Snider. As the flamboyant and powerhouse frontman of Twisted Sister, Snider became the face of 1980s heavy metal defiance, penning timeless anthems like "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "I Wanna Rock."

Beyond the makeup and the hair, Snider is revered as one of the most articulate and fierce defenders of the genre. From his historic testimony at the 1985 PMRC Senate hearings to his successful second act as a solo artist, Broadway star, and radio personality, Dee has spent over four decades proving that rock and roll is about more than just music—it’s about the freedom of expression.
Even in "retirement" from the full-time touring grind, Snider remains a vibrant force in the community, frequently lending his voice to charitable causes and inspiring new generations of performers to stay loud and stay proud. We wish Dee a legendary birthday!

Happy Birthday Dee!

Sammy Hagar and his Best of All Worlds supergroup officially launched their 2026 Las Vegas residency on Wednesday, March 11, at Dolby Live at Park MGM. The 19-song kick-off concert featured a high-octane celebration of Hagar’s 50-year career, backed by his "band of brothers": bassist Michael Anthony, guitar virtuoso Joe Satriani, drummer Kenny Aronoff, and keyboardist Greg Phillinganes.

The opening night was highlighted by the live debut of several tracks for this specific lineup. Fans were treated to the Chickenfoot classic "Soap on a Rope," which Hagar had not performed live in eight years, and the OU812 staple "Mine All Mine," appearing in a full setlist for the first time since 2016. The performance leaned heavily into the Van Halen catalog, featuring anthems like "Poundcake," "Top of the World," and "Right Now," alongside Hagar solo favorites such as "I Can’t Drive 55" and "Eagles Fly."

The residency, which continues through March before returning for a second leg in September, is designed specifically for the intimate atmosphere of the 5,200-seat Dolby Live venue. Hagar has praised the residency format for allowing the band to swap out deep cuts and fan favorites every night without the rigors of travel. Following the Vegas dates, the group will take the "Best of All Worlds" show to North American amphitheaters in June and U.K. arenas in July.
