Deftones have officially unveiled the details for the 2026 installment of their annual music festival, Dia De Los Deftones. The highly anticipated event is locked in to take over Petco Park in San Diego, California on Saturday, November 7, 2026. Curated with a mixtape-style philosophy by front-man Chino Moreno, this year's eclectic, cross-genre lineup features an impressive roster of artists including The Neighbourhood, AFI, Bktherula, Converge, Jehnny Beth, Ladrones, Lip Critic, and LustSickPuppy.

Fans looking to secure their spot at the festival won't have to wait long. Official artist pre-sales are scheduled to launch tomorrow, Wednesday, June 24th, at 10:00 a.m. PDT, while the general public on-sale will follow this Friday, June 26th, at 10:00 a.m. PDT. Subscribers to the official Deftones email newsletter will be granted priority first access to early tickets and VIP travel packages. The festival arrives as the group continues to celebrate the ongoing rollout of their tenth studio album, Private Music, which dropped last August through Reprise/Warner and reunited the band with Grammy Award-winning producer Nick Raskulinecz.

Daryl Hall has shared an encouraging health update with his fans, revealing that he recently underwent a successful kidney transplant operation. In a personal message shared to social media, the singer announced that the procedure took place a couple of weeks ago after he received a kidney from a living donor. Hall expressed deep gratitude for the donation, describing the individual as a "very kind and generous living donor."

According to his medical team, the transplant was a complete success. Hall noted that he is already starting to feel better as he begins his post-operative recovery. While full recuperation is expected to take some time, the rock frontman anticipated being back to normal in a few months. He concluded his message by telling his audience to get ready for more new music and plenty of upcoming Live from Daryl's House shows in the future.

Nashville-based memorabilia giant Premiere Collectibles has officially announced an exclusive new partnership with Poison frontman and solo rock icon Bret Michaels. The collaboration offers collectors and music fans a rare opportunity to purchase authentic, hand-signed editions of iconic Poison vinyl records and memorabilia. The collection was recently finalized during an intimate, energetic signing session in Los Angeles, where the multi-platinum singer spent the afternoon trading rock-and-roll stories about his time with Stevie Nicks, reminiscing about his small-town Pittsburgh roots, and carefully signing each piece for his dedicated fanbase.

Before wrapping up the session, the Rock of Love star decided to elevate the partnership with an unexpected, high-stakes incentive. Michaels personally tossed a major bonus into the mix for purchasers: two premium VIP tickets to any domestic 2026 Bret Michaels concert, complete with exclusive backstage access and a personal meet-and-greet. "Let's take this thing to the next level," Michaels told the Premiere Collectibles team. "I want to throw in something special for one of these fans. Let's make this an experience they'll never forget." Every fan who purchases one of the verified autographed items from the newly launched online collection will automatically be entered into the drawing for the once-in-a-lifetime VIP experience.

AC/DC are turning the voltage all the way up for the final lap of their massive global stadium run. The band has officially announced the AC/DC PWR/UP Pop Up, a traveling fan experience that will open in every single city across their upcoming 2026 North American tour. Operating both the day before each stadium show and on concert day itself, the free-entry spaces are designed as localized pre-show hubs for fans to congregate, immerse themselves in the band's history, and celebrate the chart-topping Power Up era.

Each pop-up location will be uniquely shaped by its host city, taking over local spots steeped in music culture. Fans dropping by can expect custom AC/DC-themed food and drink menus, limited-edition apparel, collectible cups, and early access to city-specific event shirts and posters a full day before they go on sale at the stadiums. The spaces will also house mock stage environments featuring a replica Gibson SG where attendees can snap photos and enter an exclusive giveaway. After traveling to every tour stop, that exact guitar will be hand-signed by Angus Young himself in Philadelphia and awarded to one lucky fan at the end of the tour. Additionally, U.S. visitors can enter to win a custom AC/DC pinball machine created by Stern Pinball, while super-fans can head to the tour's official website to register for a random draw to secure one of 100 media-preview passes for their local city.

Are you planning to check out the PWR/UP pop-up when the high-voltage rock-and-roll convoy rolls into your city?

In celebration of the 35th anniversary of The Smashing Pumpkins’ landmark debut album Gish, Sumerian Records has officially announced a massive, multi-genre tribute album honoring the alternative rock icons. Entitled "Sending Hearts To All My Dearies – A Tribute To The Smashing Pumpkins," the compilation has been personally approved and titled by frontman Billy Corgan, pulling its name from a beloved lyric in the Siamese Dream classic "Mayonaise." The 15-track effort is scheduled for a digital release on August 14, 2026, with a deluxe gatefold double-vinyl release following on October 16th.

To anchor the announcement, Sumerian has unleashed the collection's lead single: a dizzying, psychedelic reinterpretation of the 1993 epic "Hummer" by Tame Impala. Filtering the heavy guitar layers of the original track through his signature kaleidoscopic lens, Kevin Parker shared that the tribute carries a deeply personal weight, noting that Siamese Dream served as the absolute soundtrack to his high school years. The star-studded tracklist spans multiple musical generations, bringing together unexpected covers from industrial synthwave icons like Carpenter Brut, synth-pop mainstays The Midnight, electronic artist Alice Glass, and shred guitar virtuoso Nita Strauss, alongside progressive metal heavyweights Between the Buried and Me. The release lands at a perfect time for fans, arriving just ahead of the Pumpkins' highly anticipated fall stadium tour celebrating the 30th anniversary of their magnum opus Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.

Tracklist:

01. Tame Impala – Hummer
02. Yonaka – Today
03. The Midnight – Tonight, Tonight
04. Carpenter Brut – Cherub Rock
05. Barns Courtney – 1979
06. Meg Myers – Eye
07. Palaye Royale – Bullet With Butterfly Wings
08. Between The Buried and Me – Jellybelly
09. Alice Glass – Drown
10. Starbenders – Tonight, Tonight
11. Nita Strauss – 1979
12. Bones UK – Cherub Rock
13. Moon Taxi – Thirty Three
14. Des Rocs – Bullet With Butterfly Wings
15. Urban Heat – Ava Adore

Former Turnstile lead guitarist Brady Ebert has officially received an autumn trial date in connection with a violent, premeditated vehicular assault that took place outside the Silver Spring, Maryland home of the band's frontman, Brendan Yates. As first reported by Lambgoat, the trial is scheduled to begin on Monday, October 5, 2026, in Rockville’s Montgomery County Circuit Court. Presided over by Circuit Court Judge John M. Maloney, the high-stakes legal proceeding is currently locked in for a three-day window running through October 7th.

The severe criminal case stems from a March 2025 neighborhood dispute that took a tragic and near-fatal turn. According to official Montgomery County Police Department charging documents, Ebert initially arrived at the property where he aggressively honked his car horn and shouted obscenities at Yates' sister and her husband. Ebert briefly left the area, only to return shortly after to deliberately target the singer's 79-year-old father, William Yates. Ebert allegedly accelerated and struck the elder Yates directly in his own driveway, leaving him hospitalized with severe trauma to both of his legs that required extensive emergency surgery. While Ebert initially claimed to a district court commissioner that his actions were "pure self-defense," a grand jury formally upgraded the charges against him to include attempted first-degree murder. Ebert—who parted ways with the Grammy-nominated alternative hardcore outfit back in 2022 amid a pattern of escalating behavioral concerns—now faces a maximum sentence of life in prison under Maryland law, alongside additional felony counts of attempted second-degree murder and multiple counts of first- and second-degree assault.

Dogma has unleashed their highly anticipated new single and accompanying music video, "My Matricidal." The track arrives fresh off a massive breakout stretch that saw the theatrical group sell out every single date of their recent European headlining tour—hitting packed rooms in London, Manchester, Hamburg, and Munich—alongside completing their largest Latin American headline cycle to date. Musically, "My Matricidal" is built as a dark, emotionally charged collision of aggressive guitar work, ritualistic percussion, and haunting cinematic soundscapes that steadily escalate toward a massive vocal climax, expanding the band's trademark mix of symphonic hard rock and provocative storytelling.

The single's ambitious cinematic video functions as a direct continuation of the cryptic narrative introduced in their previous single "Fate Unblinds," which dropped this past April via MNRK Heavy. Rather than offering clean answers, the new video drops a crucial piece of the puzzle that raises entirely new questions about the band's ongoing conceptual lore. Frontwoman Lilith shared that the song's underlying themes deal directly with the heavy fallout of personal awakening rather than simple betrayal. "There comes a moment in every person's life when something they believed, trusted, or accepted can no longer withstand reality," Lilith explained. "The more important question is what happens after the truth becomes impossible to ignore... That moment of choice has always fascinated me because it ultimately shapes the direction of a person's life." The release kicks off an intense summer for the band as they transition to the European festival circuit, preparing to bring their grand theatrical show to major stages including Copenhell, Tuska, Resurrection Fest, and a special headline appearance in Istanbul.

Are you ready to dive deeper into the dark, cinematic puzzle Dogma is piecing together with this new video?

Clive Davis, the legendary record executive whose unparalleled ears and sharp instincts revolutionized the modern music industry for over six decades, has passed away at the age of 94. According to The New York Times, Davis died on Monday, June 22nd, at his home in Manhattan following a recent hospitalization for respiratory complications. Originally a Harvard-educated corporate lawyer who fell into the business by chance, Davis went on to define the gold standard for A&R executives. Reflecting on his monumental trajectory, Davis once famously remarked, "I accidentally discovered I had a totally unexpected and unexplained gift – ears. This was quite a surprise, but I could, and would, discover great all-time artists."

Davis first shook up the landscape in 1967 as the newly appointed head of Columbia Records, signing Janis Joplin on the spot after witnessing her hypnotic performance at the Monterey Pop Festival and subsequently pushing the label into the booming rock market by signing Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, Santana, Chicago, and Aerosmith. After founding Arista Records in 1974, he orchestrated a legendary parade of hitmakers spanning Barry Manilow, Aretha Franklin, and Patti Smith, before discovering a fresh-faced teenager named Whitney Houston—sparking one of the most successful mentor-artist partnerships in music history. He continued his Midas touch into the 21st century by launching J Records, breaking global powerhouse Alicia Keys with her multi-platinum 2001 debut Songs in A Minor, and later guiding the commercial execution of early American Idol icons like Kelly Clarkson and Jennifer Hudson. A four-time Grammy winner, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, and host of the industry's most exclusive annual pre-Grammys gala, Davis leaves behind an indelible, multi-generational imprint on global music culture.

The iconic, black gothic-style throne used by Ozzy Osbourne during his final live performance is officially heading to his hometown. Starting Wednesday, July 1, 2026, the custom-built centerpiece will join the free "Ozzy Osbourne: Working Class Hero" exhibition at the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery. The arrival is deliberately timed to coincide with the emotional lead-up to the first anniversary of Ozzy's final concert and his passing on July 22, 2025.

Originally commissioned for Ozzy’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in 2024, the ornate throne became a striking symbol of his final chapter. It was last seen on stage eleven months ago at Villa Park during the historic "Back To The Beginning" charity gig, where a seated, deeply moved Ozzy performed a five-song solo set before reuniting with Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward for one final four-song Black Sabbath send-off. Curated in close partnership with Sharon Osbourne and the family, the exhibit features a massive collection of personal memorabilia, lifetime awards, and rare photographs tracking his journey from a working-class upbringing in Aston to global superstardom. Due to staggering public demand—having already pulled in over 640,000 visitors—the museum has officially extended the exhibition's run through Sunday, September 27, 2026.
