ADRIAN VANDENBERG ANNOUNCES ‘MY WHITESNAKE YEARS” TOUR, WITH CO-HEADLINERS VINNIE MOORE AND MARCO MENDOZA

Distinguished guitarist Adrian Vandenberg is bringing a powerhouse night of classic hard rock to U.S. audiences this August with “My Whitesnake Years” tour.

The tour features an all-star lineup including acclaimed guitarist Vinnie Moore and veteran bassist/vocalist Marco Mendoza, celebrating decades of iconic rock music spanning Whitesnake, Thin Lizzy, UFO, Ted Nugent, and beyond. Tickets and a VIP meet and greet package are available for purchase via this link: vandenbergband.com/tour

Here is what is received via the VIP package (limited to 25 per show):

· Meet & Greet and photo with Adrian Vandenberg, Marco Mendoza, Vinnie Moore using your own camera.
· Autograph session with Adrian, Marco and Vinnie
· VIP Merch surprise – GIVEN TO YOU AT THE SHOW
· Commemorative VIP Laminate – GIVEN TO YOU AT THE SHOW

Vandenberg first rose to prominence in the early 1980s with his band Vandenberg, earning international success with hits including “Burning Heart” and “Friday Night.” His success led to a longtime collaboration with David Coverdale and Whitesnake, where he contributed the unforgettable guitar solo to the multi-platinum smash “Here I Go Again” and co-wrote material for the Slip of the Tongue and Restless Heart releases. He also appeared on Whitesnake’s Starkers in Tokyo, Live at Donington, and the band’s celebrated Greatest Hits reunion tour.

Beyond Whitesnake, Vandenberg has continued an extensive recording career with multiple solo releases and albums with Vandenberg’s MoonKings. In 2024, he co-headlined with Geoff Tate on the Operation: Mindcrime tour, followed by performances aboard the 2025 Monsters of Rock Cruise and a successful East Coast headline run.

Joining the bill is Vinnie Moore, internationally recognized for his 21-year tenure with UFO and his acclaimed solo catalog. Moore has also performed and recorded with artists including Alice Cooper and Vicious Rumors.

And performing with Moore will be Marco Mendoza, whose impressive resumé includes 26 years with Thin Lizzy, seven years with Whitesnake, seven years with Ted Nugent, and work with The Dead Daisies and the current SatchVai Band.

“Really (REALLY!) excited to cross the ocean again with my top notch band to honor my 12 years in the golden era of Whitesnake!,” exclaims Adrian. “Be prepared to scream along with all the big ones like ‘Still Of The Night’, ‘Here I Go Again’, ‘Judgement Day’, ‘Fool For Your Lovin’ etc etc. No doubt about it, this is an absolute BIG ROCK tour with Marco and Vinnie celebrating their years in Journey, Thin Lizzy and UFO. You don’t wanna miss this! We are ready, are you?!?”

“I have to say that I’m very excited and looking forward to the US run of dates in August, and sharing the stage with Adrian Vandenberg and Vinnie Moore,” added Marco. “And having the opportunity to introduce my own music and also to pay tribute to some of my past participations and collaborations, like Thin Lizzy and Ted Nugent, along with Vinnie on some UFO tracks and some of his original stuff. It’s just going to be a great run…don’t miss it, see you there!”

“Thrilled to be doing this tour with Marco and Adrian,” Vinnie said. “Going to be a blast to play a couple UFO songs, as well as some of my tunes and some Thin Lizzy. This is going to be a lot of fun and I’m looking forward to it. See you all soon.”

Fans can expect a night packed with classic songs, guitar fireworks, and deep cuts from some of hard rock’s most celebrated catalogs. The show will feature two complete 75-minute-plus performances, or a single extended 90-minute presentation with intermission.

Moore and Mendoza will also perform together in a collaborative set backed by a shared band, revisiting fan favorites from across their legendary careers.

For fans of classic hard rock and virtuoso musicianship, this tour promises an unforgettable evening celebrating some of the genre’s most enduring songs and performers.

BRIAN FALLON RETURNS WITH TWO BRAND-NEW SONGS,
“NOT BAD FOR NEW JERSEY” AND “BETTER BEFORE” – LISTEN

NEW JERSEY-BASED ARTIST AND FRONTMAN OF THE GASLIGHT ANTHEM
SHARES FIRST ORIGINAL SOLO MUSIC IN MORE THAN FIVE YEARS
PRODUCED BY LONGTIME COLLABORATOR BUTCH WALKER

Photo Credit: Danny Clinch

VERY SPECIAL SERIES OF INTIMATE LIVE PERFORMANCES
BEGINS JUNE 14 AT ASBURY PARK, NJ’S THE STONE PONY

Brian Fallon has announced today’s premiere of two brand new tracks, “Not Bad For New Jersey” and “Better Before,” both available everywhere now via his own Lesser Known Records.

Fallon’s first original solo music in more than five years, both new songs see the veteran rocker summoning up a frenetic collision of power pop and heartland rock, the perfect sonic counterpart to the hot-blooded sincerity that has driven his songwriting for close to three decades. Produced by longtime collaborator Butch Walker (Green Day, Jesse Malin, Taylor Swift) at Walker’s studio just outside Nashville, “Better Before” – co-written with his close friend, Juno Award-winning singer-songwriter Donovan Woods – relates a tortured portrait of unraveling romance, while “Not Bad For New Jersey” serves as a gloriously ragged homage to Fallon’s beloved home state and all the grit it instilled in him.

“‘Not Bad for New Jersey’ is my way of celebrating what I do and where I’m from,” says Brian Fallon. “I wrote that song looking back on my life the way you do after almost ending up in a crash – like, ‘How did I make it through that?’ I really could’ve busted myself open somewhere along the way, but somehow I’m still here, and I’m still in one piece.”

LISTEN TO “NOT BAD FOR NEW JERSEY” + “BETTER BEFORE”

Fallon – backed by his band, The Painkillers – will mark the arrival of his new music with a very special series of intimate live performances, beginning June 14 at Asbury Park, NJ’s world renowned The Stone Pony and then visiting Nashville, TN’s The Basement (June 16), West Hollywood, CA’s historic Troubadour (June 20), and Chicago, IL’s Reggies’ Rock Club (June 22). Limited tickets for all four dates go on sale this Friday, May 15.

In addition, Fallon will join Bruce Springsteen and a stellar lineup including Rosanne Cash, Kenny Chesney, and more for Music America: The Songs That Shaped Us – Celebrating 250 Years of American Music, a once-in-a-lifetime concert event set for June 4 at West Long Branch, NJ’s OceanFirst Bank Center on the campus of Monmouth University, just prior to the grand opening of the new Bruce Springsteen Center for American Music at Monmouth University on June 7. The sold-out event will feature Fallon and his fellow artists performing landmark songs from American music history, commemorating both America’s semiquincentennial and the Springsteen Center’s long-awaited grand opening.

Black Veil Brides are celebrating the release of their seventh studio album, VINDICATE. The album has been receiving critical and fan acclaim since it was released on May 8th. Kerrang! recently stated that: “Black Veil Brides have never sounded better” and Blabbermouth called the latest album “…an exciting listen.”

From the opening organ introduction and dramatic soliloquy of “Invocation To The Muse” to the emotive finale of “Eschaton,” the band deliver one of the most ambitious chapters of their career. The band singles including “Bleeders,” “Hallelujah,” “Certainty,” “Vindicate,” “Revenger” feat. Machine Head and most-recently “Cut” featuring Lilith Czar have already showcased the band’s continued musical evolution while maintaining the theatrical intensity that has defined their sound. The band recently made headlines when the track “Woe & Pain” from VINDICATE was used in the hype package between Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton for Wrestlemania 42. The track “Sorrow” was just seen during the broadcast of UFC Fight Night.

The album is now available for wherever music is purchased or via the band’s website: https://www.blackveilbrides.net.

STEEL PANTHER RETURN WITH NEW ANTHEM DEDICATED TO LOVING MOTHERS AROUND THE WORLD

The First New Song From the California Rock Gods in Three Years, “The Mother’s Day Song” is Now Available via All Digital Service Providers
https://ffm.to/steelpanther-themothersdaysong

A Music Video Can Be Seen Here: https://youtu.be/xX0moP9c-OU

Single is Debut Release from the Band’s New Label Frontiers Music SRL

After what has felt like an eternity for fans, California’s most outrageous metal maestros Steel Panther return with an anthem for the ages. The quartet comprised of Michael Starr, Satchel, Spyder, and Stix Zadinia have crafted a tribute to moms everywhere in honor of their favorite Hallmark holiday: Mother’s Day. “The Mother’s Day Song” is quintessential Steel Panther, packed with catchy riffs, driving rhythms, and unforgettable, sing-along choruses. The band’s irreverent ode to mothers across the globe is delivered with their signature humor and over-the-top style, celebrating the women who bring future generations into the world—Steel Panther style.

The song is now available via all digital service providers: https://ffm.to/steelpanther-themothersdaysong.

A music video for the track, directed by longtime collaborator J.T. Arbogast, pays homage to The Beatles’ iconic performance on The Ed Sullivan Show. In the video, Steel Panther don their sharpest suits, performing against a stark white backdrop in a tongue-in-cheek nod to the legendary broadcast. It’s poised to become another standout entry in the band’s already celebrated catalog of visuals.

The official music video for “The Mother’s Day Song” can be seen here: https://youtu.be/xX0moP9c-OU.

“The Mother’s Day Song” is the first piece of original music from Steel Panther in three years. The song is also the first release from the band’s new label home, Frontiers Music SRL. The label recently made headlines with their incredible success with the release of the final album by Dave Mustaine and Megadeth.

“We’ve signed a lot of things in our career including more body parts than we can remember, but we have now officially signed with Frontiers. Serafino and his team sent us a better batch of drugs and hookers than they gave to Dave Mustaine and Megadeth, and we all saw how great that album did. Those Italians know how to rub us the right way, and they paid us while doing it. We can’t wait to go visit them in their homeland and enjoy their women and wine. Hide your moms, priests, and nuns,” explained Steel Panther about the singing.

More music from Steel Panther and Frontiers Music SRL will be released in the near future.

Fresh off a successful North American tour, the band is currently enjoying some well-earned downtime before heading overseas. Steel Pantherwill kick off their Europe Twenty Twenty S€X Tour on June 15 in Paris, FR wrapping on July 25 in Southampton, UK.

Shock rock legends GWAR are back to wreak havoc across North America this fall with their latest campaign of carnage: the “Gor Gor Must Die! Tour.” The intergalactic tyrants will once again bring their blood-soaked spectacle to stages nationwide, delivering the kind of over-the-top performance only GWAR can unleash.

Joining GWAR on this descent into chaos is black ‘n’ roll powerhouse Midnight as direct support, while the unholy fast-food parody metal outfit Mac Sabbath will open every night of the tour. Select dates will also feature appearances from X-COPS and Atomic Rule, ensuring each night is stacked and that this will be the fall tour not to be missed.

The tour kicks off October 27th in Charlottesville, VA, and will tear through major cities across the U.S. and Canada, including a special appearance aboard The Headbangers Boat, before wrapping up December 12th in Norfolk, VA. Expect a full-scale blood-drenched production of heavy metal, horror, and comedy with relentless energy, and plenty of surprises as GWAR tangles with their prodigal child Gor Gor.

Speaking about the tour, The Berserker Blothar says:

“As both father and mother to our precious dinosaur Gor Gor, my hearts break to see what he has become: a crack-addicted truck-stop lizard-of-the-evening. We didn’t raise him to hustle his cloaca up and down the street. It is time for some tough love! Come watch as GWAR lays a whoopin’ on his giant red ass on the ‘Gor Gor Must Die Tour’ with Midnight, Mac Sabbath, X-Cops, and Atomic Rule.”

Pre-sales begin tomorrow, and the general on-sale is this Friday at 10:00 AM local time. Get your tickets and VIP packages at GWAR.net.

BLACK VEIL BRIDES release “Revenger” feat. MACHINE HEAD

From their upcoming album VINDICATE available worldwide on MAY 8 via Spinefarm

Now available for pre-order:
https://blackveilbrides.lnk.to/vindicatepreorder

2026 Headline Tour Kicks Off Saturday, April 25

With their seventh studio album VINDICATE available in two weeks, Black Veil Brides are back with a collaboration the metal world never saw coming.

“Revenger” featuring Machine Head is the latest song (the seventh if you are keeping score) from their Spinefarm debut out on May 8th. The track frames vengeance as fantasy and delusion, following a self-styled avenger convinced that retribution could deliver justice. “Revenger” featuring Machine Head further showcases the versatility of the band comprised of vocalist Andy Biersack, guitarists Jake Pitts and Jinxx, bassist Lonny Eagleton, and drummer Christian Coma.

“I have always been interested in the sort of ethical dilemma that we have culturally of cheering for justice. I thought it would be an interesting exercise to write lyrics from the perspective of someone who is trying to seek out the ultimate form of justice.

Because I was writing from someone else’s voice, this felt like the kind of song that would be best served by having someone else’s voice on the song. So, we brought in Robb Flynn of Machine Head. The reason he came to mind first was of course his voice, tonality and style I thought was perfect for this. He is also someone who was one of the first real defenders of Black Veil Brides. In the early days when we were getting absolutely shit on by every other metal band, Robb Flynn and Machine Head stood up for us and said positive things about us and has maintained that for years and years.

I think it’s one of my favorite songs on the record.”

The song is available via all digital service providers here: https://BlackVeilBrides.lnk.to/Revenger

A visualizer for “Revenger” feat. Machine Head can also be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F680LN6MBNs.

A companion novel called Revenger written by Biersack and distributed by Simon & Schuster is available for purchase here.

The band recently made headlines when the track “Woe & Pain” from VINDICATE was used in the hype package between Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton for Wrestlemania 42.

The official hype video can be seen here: https://youtu.be/Jn-jzX-wejk?si=SNi4LiRBroxZUJF3.

With anticipation building at every turn, Black Veil Brides are preparing to release their highly anticipated seventh studio album, Vindicate. From the opening organ introduction and dramatic soliloquy of “Invocation To The Muse” to the emotive finale of “Eschaton,” the band deliver one of the most ambitious chapters of their career. Previously released singles including “Bleeders,” “Hallelujah,” “Certainty” and “Vindicate” have already showcased the band’s continued musical evolution while maintaining the theatrical intensity that has defined their sound.

The album is now available for pre-order here: https://blackveilbrides.lnk.to/vindicatepreorder.

The track listing for Vindicate is:

1) Invocation To The Muse
2) Vindicate
3) Certainty
4) Bleeders

6) Cut
7) Alive
8) Purgatory
9) Revenger
10) Sorrow
11) Grace
12) Ave Maria

Devin Townsend launches delicate and expansive new single ‘Home At Night’

Second single taken from ambitious, orchestral-metal opus ‘The Moth’

“The Moth is about the journey—but it is also about arrival”

Canadian metal maverick Devin Townsend recently announced the long-awaited release of his ambitious, orchestral-metal opus ‘The Moth’, out 29th May 2026 via InsideOutMusic.

An album over a decade in the making, it existed in the back of Devin Townsend’s mind as his “life’s work”. Then, about six years ago, after an acoustic show in Amsterdam, Townsend was approached by the head of the North Netherlands’ Orchestra and Choir with an offer; and with that moment The Moth stopped being an idea and began to become a reality.

Today, Devin is pleased to release the video for the track ‘Home At Night’; a track that shows a more delicate side of ‘The Moth’, but one that is no less expansive. Watch the video, produced by longtime collaborator Mike Zimmer, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ft-oXVpP4I

Devin comments: “For the second song we release from ‘The Moth’, I present ‘Home at Night’. One of the first pieces written for the project, it came from the difficulty of being away from home with young kids and a family.

The video reflects my relationship with the more “drama student” side of my personality, with a healthy dose of the “trolololo guy” aesthetic 🙂

Within the arc of The Moth, the song is sung from the point of view of the antagonist on the verge of leaving for battle. The broader story will unfold in time (if people are interested), but at its core, ‘The Moth’ is a dystopian reflection on transformation—going through the fire to meet ourselves, maintaining equilibrium in difficult moments, and not letting our light fade as the old falls away and the new takes its place.”

Both the album version and ‘The Afterlife’ version of ‘Home At Night’ can be streamed now here: https://dvn.lnk.to/HomeAtNight

Watch the previously released video for ‘Enter The City’ here: https://youtu.be/Ih78rQZT8U4

The Moth constitutes 3 distinct parts across its release. In addition to the main album, The Moth – The Afterlife highlights the grandeur of the orchestra & choir, in what might be considered a more pure version of The Moth experience. The Moth – The War is a recording of the live musical debut that took place in March 2025 in The Netherlands, showcasing the raw emotion of performing The Moth for the very first time.

The Moth will be available on several formats including Ltd Deluxe 3CD+Blu-ray Artbook that includes the album on CD1, ‘The Moth – The Afterlife’ on CD2 & ‘The Moth – The War (Live)’ on CD3. The Blu-ray includes the full ‘The Moth – The War’ live film, as well as Dolby Atmos & High Resolution Stereo Mixes of the ‘The Moth’ and ‘The Moth – The Afterlife’. It will also be available as Limited 2CD Edition (including ‘The Moth-The Afterlife’ on CD2), Standard CD Jewelcase and as Gatefold Triple-Gatefold 180g 2LP & Fold-Out LP-booklet, as well as digitally.

KILLSWITCH ENGAGE ANNOUNCE HEADLINE CANADIAN TOUR DATES FOR AUGUST + ADD ADDITIONAL U.S. HEADLINE LEG FOR SEPTEMBER

FIRST LEG OF HEADLINE U.S. TOUR KICKS OFF JUNE 3 IN DETROIT

SEVERAL FESTIVAL APPEARANCES ON DECK

NEW ALBUM THIS CONSEQUENCE OUT NOW VIA METAL BLADE

Killswitch Engage — Jesse Leach, vocals; Adam Dutkiewicz, guitar; Joel Stroetzel, guitar; Mike D’Antonio, bass; and Justin Foley, drums — have just added more tour dates to their upcoming 2026 tour schedule.

The band will first embark on a headline tour, which kicks off June 3 in Detroit and runs through June 27 in San Francisco, and includes appearances at Milwaukee Metal Fest and DC Warped Tour Weekend. Support will come from Machine Head, Iron Reagan, and Havok.

They will then head to Canada in August for a headline run, from August 5 through August 16. Machine Head and Malevolence will support. The Canadian trek includes appearances at the Rock La Cauze Festival and Burt Block Party.

KsE have also added more U.S. dates in September, with Machine Head, Rivers of Nihil, and Judiciary. Those dates run from September 19 through October 1 and include appearances at Louder Than Life and Aftershock.

“We are all beyond excited to get back on the road in support of our latest album This Consequence,” says Leach. “This upcoming run will see us bringing two distinct and devastating lineups across Canada and a small run around the United States. Each lineup is built to deliver a unique and crushing experience.”

He elaborates, “For our Canadian dates, we’ll be hitting major cities alongside the legendary Machine Head and the relentless force that is Malevolence. This is a power trio bill designed to level every stage we step on pure intensity, groove, and aggression. Canada, roll up!”

He continues, “For our United States run, we’re bringing a different kind of devastation. Joining us are once again the legends Machine Head, the prolific heaviness of Rivers of Nihil, and the raw, unfiltered intensity of Judiciary. This lineup delivers a dynamic blend of atmosphere, technicality, and sheer hardcore aggression!”

Leach finishes, “Two unique lineups, one mission: To tear it up everywhere we go. Hell yes, my friends!”

The artist pre-sales begin today at 12pm PT and run through Thursday, August 16 at 10pm local time. The general on-sale is set for Friday, April 17 at 10am local time
