SEX PISTOLS Fronted By FRANK CARTER Celebrate 50 Years Of Punk With A Handful Of Gigs In The UK

Posted on by JL

24 February 2026

This year marks the 50th birthday of punk. The anti-rock superstar culture that changed the musical landscape radically around the globe. In those arousing days, you could be wondering in the morning what to make out of your life, and then suddenly be in a band playing in an obscure basement at night.

Expect a bunch of anniversary fireworks here, there, and everywhere.

And of course, anarchy trailblazers, the SEX PISTOLS who reformed in 2024 with
Frank Carter as vocalist for one benefit event, until the masses wanted to see
them too, resulting in a stream of gigs, will be in the picture.

At the end of the year, they’ll play a handful of gigs on their
island. They’re also expected to play several summer festivals.

God save the King!

BRUCE SPINGSTEEN & THE E STREET BAND Announce Their ‘NO KINGS’ Tour

Posted on by JL

18 February 2026

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN and his E STREET BAND can’t stop rockin’ around on podiums.

They just announced a new US tour, billed as The Land Of Hope And Dreams American Tour. The tour poster says NO KINGS in all-caps, a big sneer at orange gorilla Trump, who thinks he’s the king of the world. It’s also no coincidence that the first show
is in Minneapolis on March 31.

Springsteen: “We are living through dark, disturbing and dangerous times, but do not despair — the cavalry is coming! Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band will be taking the stage this spring from Minneapolis to California to Texas to Washington, D.C. for the Land of Hope And Dreams American Tour.

We will be rocking your town in celebration and in defense of America — American democracy, American freedom, our American Constitution and our sacred American dream — all of which are under attack by our wannabe king and his rogue government in Washington, D.C.

Everyone, regardless of where you stand or what you believe in, is welcome — so come on out and join the United Free Republic of E Street Nation for an American spring of Rock ‘n’ Rebellion! I’ll see you there!”

And there’s more news.

Brave Films, an American multi-media organization that wants to create a
better America, using media, films, volunteers, and internet video campaigns.

They create a quick-strike capability that informs the public, challenges mainstream
media with the truth, and motivates people to take action on social issues nationwide,

They have just shared a new, loud and crystal-clear video.

The clip shows footage of The Boss recently calling for ICE to “get the fuck out of Minneapolis”, before it shows several American victims who have been arrested
by ICE agents in recent months and highlights the death of Renee Good, who was
fatally shot by ICE agent Jonathan Ross in Minneapolis on January 7.

Watch.

Posted on by JL

12 February 2026

It has already been 7 years since Arizona rockers
JIMMY EAT WORLD released their 10th LP, named
Surviving.

But last November, they dropped a new single, called Failure
as part of an upcoming EP, but not a word anymore about that
EP so far. Weird.

Anyway, the band is ready now to celebrate the upcoming 25th birthday
of their 4th full-length BLEED AMERICAN (released 17 July 2001), which
featured their gigantic hit The Middle (more than 1,227 billion streams
on Spotify).

They’ll take the road starting in June.

Jim Adkins (frontman/guitarist) is enthusiastic: “I feel like at this time in our lives, especially for me, it’s important to get back to a place that you can savor. This tour is designed to be an elevated version of our show, a heightened experience with production that reflects 25 years of learning how to stretch artistically in the live environment.” Fans can expect to hear the entirety of Bleed American, along with much more they’ll have to wait to see and hear!”

PAVEMENT Ready For Some More Gold Soundz On The Road

Posted on by JL

13 January 2026

Slacker rock champs PAVEMENT formed in Stockton, California in
1989 and became one of the most compelling indie bands of the 90s.

After 5 albums, they split up in 1999.

Ten years later, in 2019, they announced a couple of reunion shows, but
Covid prevented that. Eventually, at the end of 2022, they played shows
in Europe and America and then just flew around the world into 2024.

And the Pavement virus didn’t go away.

In September 2024, a musical biopic concert
film, titled Pavements came out.

And the band is now ready again to do some
shows in North America next summer.
