Helloween is out on their 40th anniversary 16-date North American tour which started on April 7th in Dallas and finishes on May 2nd, 2026, in Las Vegas. Boston is a great town for a show; there are plenty of things to do plus the venue sits on the same street as historic Fenway Park. The show was close to being sold out; it honestly should've been. If you have a chance to check out this tour before they finish the North American run, definitely make a point to see this

Throwing Muses delivered a raw, intimate set at The Parkway Theater in Minneapolis on April 13, performing both recent material and the post-punk, discordant melodies that have defined their sound since the 1980s. Led by the entrancing Kristin Hersh, the band includes her son, Dylan (aka Doony), who has played bass for her in both Throwing Muses and 50FootWave. He joined the lineup for this tour, adding to the band’s live sound alongside drummer Fred Abong (Kristin’s partn

On April 12, 2026, Bush performed at MGM Music Hall at Fenway in Boston, MA, alongside Mammoth and James and the Cold Gun. The crowded show was terrific, incredible and just an amazing night of rock music. The three bands played with high intensity and emotion that kept the audience on their feet, dancing and singing and cheering them on.

PINKNOISE, a genre-bending musical project, is set to release their new EP FLESH AND BONE on April 17th, 2026 and I would not sleep on this if I were you.  Scoring hundreds of thousands of followers on social media and racking up millions of streams in the span of just one year, they are a force to be reckoned with.  This EP is full of tracks that have seriously relatable lyrics that further exposes Foxx’s absolutely out of this world vocals.  At the front of the band, Kasey

April 4th, 2026 may have been a regular Saturday to some. But to many others who were present at Rickshaw Theatre in Vancouver, BC it was a Saturday to never forget. I have been to many shows here and something I can say with confidence, is that metal shows hit differently here. The crowd’s energy, especially for lineups like tonight’s… It’s always on a different level. 

On April 9, 2026, several hundred fans gathered to welcome Lotus, the instrumental electronic jam band formed in Goshen, Indiana, in 1998 and now based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Denver, Colorado. The performance marked the first of two nights at Soundcheck Studios in Pembroke, Massachusetts, as the band continues to promote their latest album, Rise of the Anglerfish, released on February 13, 2026.

The historic cobblestoned streets of Ybor City are alive and well as I make my way down to Crowbar, Ybor's popular music venue. Spencer Grammer and Davis IL, better known as Belle and Chain, will take to the stage tonight as they are on the road with Barns Courtney on his ‘Unplugged Solo Acoustic Sessions’ tour.

Freely Fest made its debut inside Bridgestone Arena on April 8th, and from the moment the doors opened, it was clear this was built to be more than just another show on the live music circuit.  This festival centered itself around the First Amendment, with a focus on artistic expression. That theme carried through every set, every speech, and every moment in between. I was there shooting for Rock DNA Magazine, but it quickly turned into something that felt bigger than a st

Canadian singer Powfu performed at The Echo Lounge & Music Hall in Dallas, Texas on his Lo-Fi Library Tour. Best known for his song Death Bed (Coffee for Your Head), which blew up in 2020, Powfu started his music career simply by rapping over lo-fi beats. Before that, he spent a lot of time writing poetry, which ultimately inspired him to take the leap into making music.
