The 250 lucky ticket holders at the Weezer show on Monday night were so glad they could make it to Constellation Room because they got an incredible special show.

The Rolling Stones kicked off their 19th tour around North America and did something they'd never done before: they played their 1966 hit "Out of Time."

Kacey Musgraves' new album, Deeper Well, became available just last month and her record label has already released four singles including "Too Good to Be True."

The shorthand definition for Stagecoach is often, "the country Coachella." 2024 Stagecoach was closer to that description than ever.
The 25 year-old Coachella music festival has led the way, becoming harder and harder to stereotype as it's matured. First an oasis of alternative rock, and slowly becoming an excellent venue for electronic music and more recently hip-hop and wildly international.

Neil Young sporting a train conductor's cap, a denim shirt over a flannel shirt over a tshirt, and dark jeans, walked onto the stage of the California Credit Union Open Air Theatre in San Diego looking like he wanted to jam in front of the giant faux speakers with his gray haired buddies while his tractor got a tune up in the barn in the back.
Those pals were drummer Ralph Molina, bassist Billy Talbot, and guitarist Micah Nelson (replacing Nils Lofgren who's on tour with The Boss) aka Crazy Horse.

Gene Simmons had an interesting dilemma: what do you do when you're 74 and your 50 year-old band has called it quits after a four-year farewell tour, and you've sold your catalogue and IP?

Garth Brooks, the country superstar with friends in low places, kicked off the second leg of his residency at the swanky Colosseum at Caesars Palace at the heart of the Las Vegas Strip.
The two-time Grammy-winner who has sold over 170 million albums played 28 dates in his first residency in 2023 and booked 35 dates for this year which quickly sold out.

Heart, the loveable Seattle sisters who have rocked us all these years with classics from "Barracuda" to "Crazy On You," are back on the road with their familiar riffs and soaring vocals.
Last year the women celebrated the band's 50th anniversary. And yet when you hear Ann Wilson's piercing delivery and Nancy's guitar playing it's like from the Dog & Butterfly era.
