Can’t find a better album: Pearl Jam’s ’Vitalogy’ turns 30

Jack White has taken to social media to voice a scathing critique of the latest military campaign in Iran. In a post shared on Saturday, White called out the "unprecedented" strikes—which reportedly launched without congressional approval—mocking the administration’s self-proclaimed status as peacemakers. "Can you believe donny hasn't received a real Nobel Peace Prize yet? Unfair!" White wrote sarcastically, adding, "Maybe in his third term he'll get one."

White’s comments also highlighted the personal disconnect he sees in the conflict, writing that the President's own children "won't have to fight or die, just other people's children." This public outburst is the latest in White's long history of political activism, which has recently included a firm stance against the use of his music at political rallies. The military action has sparked a wave of responses across the music community, with several other festivals and artists adjusting their 2026 plans in the wake of the political fallout.

Jack's full post:

"Don't you love seeing him declare war on a country while wearing a trucker hat that says "USA" on it? Behold the leader of the "Board of Peace". For the next war announcement donny, may I suggest having your feet up on the Resolute desk while eating a Big Mac in a velvet track suit? Venezuela, Greenland, Iran, Cuba, what's the difference right? don jr. and barron won't have to fight or die, just other people's children, so...invade and bomb away! New sign ups for the "board of peace" starting at one billion dollars! Can you believe donny hasn't received a real Nobel Peace Prize yet? Unfair! Maybe in his third term he'll get one."

Gary Holt has opened up about Slayer’s 2024 return to the stage, describing the experience as "surreal" and "spectacular" while emphasizing the intense work required to bring the thrash titans back to life.

Speaking in a new interview on February 27, 2026, Holt revealed that despite his decade-long tenure with the band, he and bassist/vocalist Tom Araya were incredibly nervous before their first show back at Chicago’s Riot Fest. To ensure they were prepared, the group underwent a "full production rehearsal"—a departure from their usual routine—to refamiliarize themselves with the material after five years away.
Holt admitted he even had to consult internet guitar tabs to relearn certain parts he had played hundreds of times, though he noted that "muscle memory" eventually took over. While emphasizing that he remains fully committed to Exodus, Holt confirmed that Slayer currently plans to continue with a "brief, minor" schedule of selective appearances. This includes a confirmed performance at the 20th anniversary of Rocklahoma on September 6, 2026, and a rumored slot at Texas's Sick New World festival.

The spirit of the plastic-instrument era is officially returning with the reveal of Stage Tour, a new rhythm-action title being developed by a reconstituted RedOctane Games. Unveiled during IGN Fan Fest 2026, the game is being spearheaded by veterans of the original Guitar Hero and DJ Hero franchises, including original founders Charles and Kai Huang on the advisory board. To set the tone for this revival, the debut trailer features the high-octane track "Terminator Oscillator" from the platinum-certified industrial metal outfit Static-X.

Stage Tour is designed as a long-term platform rather than a series of annual sequels, with plans for regular seasonal updates, live events, and a deep competitive infrastructure. The game will support a full-band experience—including Lead (Guitar), Drums, Vocals, and a new "Groove" lane—and is fully compatible with classic five-fret peripherals, keyboards, and standard controllers. To coincide with the launch, RedOctane has partnered with Gibson, Epiphone, and Kramer to release a new line of dedicated hardware, including a Kramer-style guitar controller. A closed alpha test is scheduled for Summer 2026, ahead of the game's full release on PC and a wide range of consoles this fall.

The high seas are getting a dose of Mongolian throat-singing as The HU officially joins the musical world of Netflix’s One Piece. Released on, February 27, 2026, "Pray to the Sun" is the first single from the upcoming second season’s soundtrack, One Piece: Into the Grand Line. Composed by the Emmy-winning duo Sonya Belousova and Giona Ostinelli, the track features the band’s signature folk-metal power alongside the primal vocals of Irish musician Declan de Barra.

The anthem specifically serves as the theme for the fan-favorite Viking giants of Elbaf, Dorry and Brogy, capturing their unbreakable code of honor and devotion to the Sun God. To achieve the track’s massive scale, the composers recorded over 140 hours of orchestra and choir sessions, blending ancient instruments like the horse-head fiddle and jaw harp with modern metal energy. This collaboration arrives just as the second season of the live-action adaptation prepares to debut on Netflix on March 10, 2026.

The Beastie Boys are revisiting their platinum-selling sixth studio album, To the 5 Boroughs, with an expansive deluxe reissue set for release on April 17, 2026. Marking a significant physical release for the collection, this edition makes the 2019 digital deluxe version available on vinyl and CD for the first time. The 3LP limited edition is a collector's dream, pressed on 180-gram vinyl and housed in a triple gatefold jacket that features unique pop-up elements and an NYC subway map lithograph.

Both the 3LP and 2CD sets will include 11 bonus tracks, comprising rare B-sides and various remixes of hits like "Ch-Check It Out" and "Triple Trouble," featuring contributions from Just Blaze, Graham Coxon, and Brainpower. Originally released in 2004, the album was a high-water mark for Ad-Rock, Mike D, and MCA, debuting at #1 on the Billboard 200 and serving as a poignant, humorous, and socially conscious tribute to their hometown in the post-9/11 era.

The When We Were Young Festival has officially confirmed it will take a hiatus in 2026, marking the first break for the event since its massive 2022 debut. Organizers cited the "crowded touring landscape" of 2026—including the highly anticipated return of the Vans Warped Tour—as a primary reason for the pause, stating they want to ensure the festival's return in 2027 is "the biggest celebration of the genre to date". The news comes after months of radio silence that left fans anxious, as the festival typically announces its next lineup within days of the previous year's conclusion.

While the Las Vegas Festival Grounds will remain quiet this October, the festival's official website has been updated with a "See You in 2027" teaser, encouraging fans to sign up for future alerts. Industry experts suggest that the surge of 90s and 2000s-era bands embarking on their own massive anniversary tours in 2026, such as Yellowcard and Simple Plan, made securing a festival-exclusive lineup more challenging this cycle. Fans who had already made speculative hotel bookings for the rumored October 17–18 weekend are advised to check cancellation policies.

Zacky Vengeance, best known as the rhythm guitarist for the multi-platinum metal titans Avenged Sevenfold, has officially released his second solo single, "Lighthouse". Issued via his own VNGNZ RECORDS, the track sees the musician continuing to explore the alt-country sound he first introduced this past December with his debut solo track, "Dark Horse". Recording and releasing under his birth name, Zachary Baker, the project marks a significant stylistic departure from his work with A7X.

While a full-length solo album has yet to be officially announced, "Lighthouse" further establishes Baker's footprint in the country-rock space. This solo venture comes during a busy period for the guitarist, as Avenged Sevenfold recently announced a Summer 2026 North American co-headlining tour alongside Good Charlotte. Fans of his metal roots can also still catch him on the road, but these solo releases offer a deeper look into the diverse musical influences that shape his personal songwriting.

Atreyu has officially pulled back the curtain on their tenth studio album, The End Is Not The End, set to arrive on April 24, 2026. Frontman Brandon Saller is touting the 13-track collection as the band’s "heaviest, most metal record" to date, describing it as a creative journey that saw the band write across the globe from the neon-lit streets of Tokyo to the isolated shores of San Juan Island. The announcement is accompanied by the new single "All For You," a powerful metal ballad that follows the previously released "Ego Death" and "Dead".

The King of Cinematic Hellscapes has officially returned as Rob Zombie releases his eighth solo studio album, The Great Satan, today, February 27, 2026, via Nuclear Blast. The 15-track record marks a significant milestone for fans, as it is the first in two decades to feature the powerhouse reunion of guitarist Riggs and bassist Blasko alongside longtime drummer Ginger Fish. Critics are already hailing the album as a "triumph of madness and mayhem," noting its raw, industrial energy that harkens back to the classic sound of 1998's Hellbilly Deluxe.

The album boasts high-octane singles like "Punks and Demons," "Heathen Days," and "(I'm a) Rock 'N' Roller". From the dissonant stomp of "The Devilman" to the breakneck punky blast of "The Black Scorpion," The Great Satan delivers the theatrical occult-rock experience Zombie is known for. To support the release, Zombie will embark on a North American tour this summer, co-headlining with Marilyn Manson and featuring support from The HU and Orgy.

Former Escape The Fate multi-instrumentalist TJ Bell has issued a detailed public statement addressing his 2025 removal from the band. In a post shared to his Instagram on February 25, Bell labeled the accusations that led to his firing as "entirely false" and "misinformation," specifically noting that they were amplified by a "well-known public figure"—widely understood to be former vocalist Ronnie Radke. Bell clarified that he has no personal connection to the individuals mentioned in the rumors and that the stories being circulated are not "rooted in reality".

Bell alleged that Escape The Fate chose to fire him to "prioritize their own professional standing" and avoid public conflict rather than supporting him against the narrative. Despite the "devastating" lack of support from his former bandmates, Bell shared that he is moving forward by focusing on his own business ventures and personal growth. This controversy unfolds as Escape The Fate celebrates a career milestone, having recently earned their first Platinum-certified single in the U.S. and securing a spot on the 2026 Vans Warped Tour.
