She's a wonderful person. So that was half of the quest, can we find somebody that's gonna be really fun to be with? She's really a lovely person. She laughs easily. She felt immediately comfortable. I think she was quite nervous in those first few days... But she worked really hard. She prepped for it. She had five songs, and we went through those songs. But by the fourth day, Ged and I, we talked and we weren't quite sold on it.
The wait is over: BTS are back, and their upcoming reunion tour will be their biggest outing yet. After completing their mandatory military service and spending four years away from the stage as a full group, the K-Pop superstars announced their 2026-2027 world tour spanning 79 shows across 34 regions.

The fall tour includes NYC's Brooklyn Steel on October 16 and Basilica Hudson on October 18.

"To keep things playful and raw-ish, we have been doing almost everything ourselves in my backyard studio (Pink Ape Studios, Los Angeles) with some remote overdubbing from our various home studios. What you hear is us, together, hard at play!"
Perhaps the biggest development of RUSH's return is the inclusion of a new drummer, Anika Nilles. A long-time YouTube sensation and clinician, Nilles is stepping into the mighty shoes of the aforementioned Peart, who passed away in January 2020. But Lee, who was recommended to hire Nilles by his own bass tech after he'd played with the drummer during Jeff Beck's last-ever tour, believes Nilles can more than meet the challenge.
Legendary Mexican grupero band Los Bukis have announced a pair of farewell shows to close their long-running reunion tour, which debuted internationally in 2021. The band will wrap up their iconic career in Houston on February 14th, 2026, followed by their very last performance on February 20th in Los Angeles. This marks an emotional end of an era that brought them together for nearly 40 sold-out stadium concerts since 2021 and their famous residency in Las Vegas,
Formed in Fife, Scotland in 1996, The Beta Band were recipients of one of those mega-major label deals, signing to Parlophone Records, which was then also home of Radiohead and Kylie Minogue.
