The announced lineup also includes Gary Clark Jr., Public Enemy, Kenny Chesney, Rosanne Cash, Jackson Browne, Dropkick Murphys, Darlene Love, Nils Lofgren, Stevie Van Zandt, Mavis Staples, and Dion. Organizers say the performances will spotlight landmark songs from across American music, with blues, bluegrass, rock, hip-hop, folk, jazz, country, and gospel all represented. The Disciples of Soul will serve as the house band.

Robert Santelli, executive director of the Springsteen Center and executive producer of the concerts, said the shows are meant to reflect the breadth of American music and its connection to the country’s shared cultural history. The concerts will take place just ahead of the center’s planned June 7 opening. General public ticket sales for both shows begin April 21 at noon Eastern, with each night sold separately.

In recent comments, Perry said Tyler has only recently started feeling comfortable singing again after a long recovery period. He made clear that the band is not announcing a tour, but said members are still in contact and looking at what might be possible beyond full-scale live dates.

That leaves Aerosmith’s next step uncertain. Any future activity would likely depend on Tyler’s continued recovery and what the band feels is realistic. Perry did not point to a specific project, timeline, or format, but his remarks suggest the group has not fully closed the door on doing something together.

For now, the main development is that Aerosmith remains in discussion, even if touring is not part of the immediate plan.

The conversation gained traction when observers pointed to subtle interactions and past moments linking the two artists. Williams previously joined Beyoncé on stage during a live performance, and both have publicly shown respect for each other’s work. Those details have led some to believe a collaboration could be in motion.

At the same time, there has been no official confirmation from either side. The current buzz is driven largely by fan interpretation of social media activity and the artists’ history. Beyoncé’s recent releases have featured a wide mix of genres and collaborators, which keeps the idea within reach, even if unverified.

For now, the situation remains speculative. Still, the possibility of these two voices coming together continues to generate attention as anticipation builds around the next phase of Beyoncé’s project.

That means the group will still play in Melbourne on November 13 and return for its Sydney show on November 15 as planned. The timing creates a tight turnaround, but there has been no sign of a cancellation or postponement tied to the ceremony.

The update clears up questions that came up after the induction date was announced. With such a long trip involved, some fans wondered whether one of the Australian concerts might be affected. For now, those concerns appear to be settled.

The situation puts one of heavy music’s most influential bands in an unusual position, balancing a major career honor with an active international tour. Even so, the message is simple: the Australian dates are still on.

The release says the video was filmed at the Didgori Battle Monument, a landmark tied to the 1121 Battle of Didgori and one of the country’s most recognizable memorial sites. The massive stone structures and wide open landscape give the song a stark, dramatic backdrop.

Tree wrote, directed, and produced the project himself, keeping the hands-on approach that has become part of his style. The new video also adds to his visible connection with Georgia. He performed in Tbilisi in 2024 and later shared his enthusiasm for the country on social media.

With this release, Tree mixes music, travel, and local history in a way that feels intentionally rough around the edges while still landing as a memorable visual statement.

This week for 95X CARES, we’d love for you to meet Chop — a young dog with a huge heart who’s been caught in an unfair situation and is hoping someone will give him the fresh start he deserves.

Chop came to the shelter under unfortunate circumstances. As he grew older and bigger — which, let’s be honest, dogs tend to do — his previous owner was no longer allowed to keep him due to landlord restrictions. Suddenly, Chop’s world changed.

Right now, Chop often sits quietly in the corner of his kennel, both indoors and outside, unsure of what comes next. But something magical happens when you stop and give him attention. His guarded demeanor melts away, and out comes a personality we’re convinced is just as big as his head.

Despite everything, Chop is an absolute charmer.

He lights up when you sit with him, happily soaking up pets, cuddles, and affection. He loves being around children and cats, gets along great with other dogs, and truly enjoys being part of the action. Chop would fit beautifully into just about any loving home.

At just over a year old, Chop has his entire life ahead of him — and he doesn’t deserve to spend another day confused and heartbroken by such a sudden transition. He dreams of a family that gives him room to run, play, and sniff to his heart’s content, along with a cozy place indoors where he can relax and keep his people company.

If you’re ready to give Chop the stability, love, and second chance he’s waiting for…

Chop is ready to meet his people — and show them just how special he truly is.

Perry also said a full tour feels much less certain. Steven Tyler’s recovery remains the biggest factor, and the physical demands of a long run are hard to ignore. The band ended its touring career after Tyler suffered a vocal injury that forced the cancellation of the remaining farewell dates.

Even so, Perry’s comments leave some room for the band to share a stage again in a limited way. A single appearance or special event seems more realistic than a major comeback. For now, Aerosmith is not announcing a next step. Still, Perry’s update suggests the door is not completely closed on one more moment with the band.

The announcement builds on an earlier update that confirmed Keo as the headline act for the event. Organizers have now expanded the roster with a mix of emerging names, including Madra Salach, Adult DVD, Bleech 9:3, Slag, and Dolder.

That gives the showcase a strong cross section of new alternative talent, from indie and post punk to more left field sounds. Bella Kay arrives as one of the most closely watched additions, adding extra momentum to a lineup already built around discovery.

The Great Escape remains one of the key spring festivals for new music, bringing together developing artists from the U.K. and beyond across multiple venues in Brighton. This latest lineup update adds another focused stop for fans looking to catch fast rising acts in a live setting.

BALDWINSVILLE, N.Y. — The Island Takeover summer concert series continues to grow, with Matt Maeson officially added to the lineup for a live performance on Papermill Island this July.

Maeson joins the brand‑new Island Takeover series, which launches this summer and brings national touring artists, themed nights, and community events to Papermill Island from June through September. The newly announced show further strengthens the concert lineup as Island Takeover establishes itself as a major summer destination for live music in Central New York.

The Matt Maeson concert is scheduled as an outdoor waterfront show at Papermill Island on Tuesday, July 21st, with doors opening at 6 p.m. and the show starting at 7 p.m. Tickets for the performance will go on sale Friday, April 17 at 10 a.m. exclusively through 95X.com.

Island Takeover’s concert schedule already includes national performances from Almost Monday on June 9 and Joe P & The Crowe Boys, with special guest Braison Cyrus, on June 14. More announcements are expected in the coming weeks.

Presented by Cumulus Media Syracuse, along with 95X, 93Q, and The Score 1260, Island Takeover is designed as a full‑season experience rather than a one‑off festival. The series features a mix of ticketed concerts and free community events, including themed music nights, Movie Nights, Night Markets, and family‑friendly programming, with events taking place nearly every week on the island.

Located along the Seneca River in Baldwinsville, Papermill Island will serve as the central hub for Island Takeover throughout the summer, offering a scenic waterfront setting for live entertainment and gatherings.

Tickets for Matt Maeson, along with tickets for other ticketed Island Takeover concerts and events, will be available starting Friday, April 17 at 10 a.m. Full event details and the complete Island Takeover schedule can be found at 95X.com, where tickets may be purchased.

Several of the nominees appear on the ballot for the first time, including Collins, Hill, Shakira, Wu-Tang Clan and Vandross. Their inclusion adds momentum to this year’s class and signals an ongoing effort to recognize artists from across different musical spaces.

At the same time, the lineup continues to fuel discussion about how the Hall defines rock and roll. The presence of artists like Mariah Carey, Lauryn Hill and Wu-Tang Clan alongside bands such as Iron Maiden and Oasis highlights the institution’s broader approach.

Reactions have focused on both excitement and omission, as fans point out familiar names that remain absent while welcoming others who are finally receiving recognition. The final selections are expected to keep that conversation going.
