I listened to several tribute bands interpreting Pink Floyd’s music. Being part of the audience at Infinity Music Hall in Harford, CT, May 28 2026. The Machine is one of the best groups featuring the iconic songs, atmospheric soundscapes, and musical arrangements that made Pink Floyd one of rock music’s most influential bands.

It's Sunday on this Memorial Day weekend, and the streets of Ybor City, in Tampa, Florida, are absolutely buzzing. Here inside Crowbar is no different, as the talented band Juice is set to take the stage. This evening marks the final stop of their spring tour, celebrating music from their past discography along with new songs from their upcoming album, Fire in the Desert, set for release on July 24, 2026. And judging by the energy in the room, the crowd couldn't be more ready

Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson, best known by her acronym, CMAT, is one of country-pop’s rapidly rising stars. After two incredible Coachella sets the month prior, it was only fitting that the Dunboyne, Ireland native paid one of New York’s greatest cities a visit. With a first night at the Brooklyn Paramount and a second night at Brooklyn Steel, both shows were a sold-out success. Rock DNA was there for both, and covered Brooklyn Steel.

After a year and half in the making, rock radio juggernauts Shinedown released their eighth studio album (Atlantic Records), on May 29th, 2026. Appropriately titled EI8HT, the offering comes 4 years after the 2022 release of Attention Attention and boasts a whopping 18 song track list that has already spawned 7 singles, including “Young Again”, which was simultaneously released with the album.

Black Veil Brides returned to Minneapolis, Minnesota on their North American tour, joined by As December Falls, TX2, and From Ashes to New at The Fillmore. It was a stacked lineup filled with incredible performances, energy, and a strong sense of community. For a Thursday evening, it certainly didn’t feel like one. The crowd showed up early and maintained that energy from start to finish.

Lorna Shore body slammed their way into the Wind Creek Event center along with other heavy hitters, Paleface Swiss and Signs of the Swarm. This is the heaviest show that I have attended in a really long time. For over 3 hours crowd surfers streamed from the back of the venue to the pit.

Night Ranger wants you to know right off the bat that any given one of their shows is a party. In case one does not know this, they send the message across before even taking the stage by dimming the house lights and letting the Beastie Boys song “Fight For Your Right” overtake the crowd first. When the anticipation is at its peak, and when the band finally comes into sight amidst the smoke machines, they lay down the law pretty quickly by exploding into their classic anthem

Tom Keifer (Cinderella) and Buckcherry rolled into Springfield Symphony Hall on Saturday, May 23, 2026. Fans packed the historic hall, wearing vintage Cinderella concert shirts and metal regalia, minus the big hair. They carried decades of memories, ready to relive the soundtrack of 1980s and 1990s radio and MTV. The elaborate Symphony Hall, with its vaulted ceilings and classic theater atmosphere, was the perfect setting for a night of loud guitars, raspy vocals, and fist

After ten years away, the Super Furry Animals are back! The hugely important band who formed in the 1990’s, taking us on a sonic journey through their genre-bending career, aren’t just important to the indie scene of the time, but the musical culture of Wales itself. Eccentric, hook-laden, and unapologetically political – the band have been a cornerstone of the British experimental music scene. In the O2 Brixton Academy this evening, the lights were low and the fog thick.
