Brit Floyd Kicks Off New Leg Of North American Dates

Brit Floyd, recognized as the world’s premiere Pink Floyd experience, have returned to the road for a new leg of North American dates with its most ambitious production to date: The Moon, The Wall and Beyond tour. Produced by Palladium Entertainment, the dates celebrate 15 years of Brit Floyd (established in 2011), a milestone that underscores the band’s evolution into a global phenomenon, having performed over 1,600 shows worldwide.

2026 marks Brit Floyd’s biggest year ever with the expansive 123-date North American tour that showcases a powerful creative concept celebrating two of Pink Floyd’s most iconic and best-selling albums of all time, The Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall. The dates follow a massive 2025 that saw BRIT FLOYD dazzle audiences across North America, the UK, and Europe. Some highlights along the 2026 tour route include two nights at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado; a return to the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles; and multiple-night engagements in Saratoga, CA; Reno, NV; Milwaukee, WI; Waukegan, IL; Clearwater, FL; Wilmington, NC; Huber Heights, OH.

The Moon, The Wall and Beyond is Brit Floyd’s most immersive production to date, combining spectacular laser and lighting design, iconic visuals and inflatables, a massive video screen, and theatrical staging inspired by The Wall. On select nights, audiences will experience full thematic performances, with distinct setlists dedicated to each album — creating two completely different concert experiences within the same tour. 

The shows will feature selections from The Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall, including such timeless classics such as “Time,” “Money,” “Comfortably Numb,” and “Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2.” Beyond these iconic songs, audiences can also expect a selection of fan favorites from Pink Floyd’s vast discography including tracks from Wish You Were Here to Animals and many more.

“I find this year’s tour rather special for a multitude of reasons,” says Brit Floyd creator and Musical Director Damian Darlington of this year’s production. “Not only do we have the privilege of performing one of the biggest-selling albums of all time, The Dark Side of the Moon, but we are also able to celebrate the very best of The Wall.”

“On the evenings dedicated to The Wall,” Darlington continues. “We truly go all in on the visuals and theatrics; some have said it almost touches on elements of Broadway theatre, which we feel greatly enhances the storytelling. Ian Cattell delivers a remarkable performance in his portrayal of ‘Pink’s’ progression and transformation through each song, much as one might expect from anyone familiar with The Wall film or those who grew up immersed in the album’s imagery and narrative.”

“The Beatles at 3 Savile Row” Opening 2027

Apple Corps Ltd. has announced news of the first ever official Beatles fan experience. The destination known as 3 Savile Row, Mayfair, London is already enshrined in pop cultural history. It was one of Apple’s earliest 1960s headquarters, the studio where Let It Be was recorded and the setting for The Beatles’ – John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr – final public performance, the era-defining rooftop concert of January 30, 1969.

And now, 3 Savile Row will open its famous doors to all for the first time. Due to launch in 2027, The Beatles at 3 Savile Row will feature seven floors of never-seen-before material from Apple Corps’ extensive archives, rotating exhibitions, fan store, and the recreation of the original studio where Let It Be was recorded. It will also give fans the opportunity to tread in the band's footsteps as they relive the iconic rooftop concert on exactly the spot it happened.

Since its inception in 1968, Apple Corps Ltd. has overseen The Beatles’ creative and business interests and this completes a full circle moment as it returns to its most famous early headquarters.

Speaking of the opening of 3 Savile Row, Apple Corps’ CEO Tom Greene comments: ‘We’re thrilled to bring Apple Corps back to its spiritual home and give The Beatles fans something truly special. Every single day, fans are taking pictures of the outside of 3 Savile Row – but next year they can go in and explore all seven floors of the iconic building, including the rooftop where even the railings remain the same from that famous day in 1969.”

Paul McCartney says: “It was such a trip to get back to 3 Savile Row recently and have a look around. There are so many special memories within the walls, not to mention the rooftop. The team have put together some really impressive plans and I’m excited for people to see it when it’s ready."

Ringo Starr adds: “Wow, it’s like coming home.”

Further details of The Beatles at 3 Savile Row - as well as details of a second experience currently in development - will be announced in due course. Stay tuned by visiting 3savilerow.thebeatles.com.

Deep Purple New Album 'SPLAT!' Dropping July 3

Deep Purple will release their latest studio album SPLAT! July 3 on earMUSIC. The band — Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Ian Paice, Don Airey, and Simon McBride — has once again teamed up with renowned producer Bob Ezrin (KISS, Pink Floyd, Lou Reed, Alice Cooper) and together, they have crafted an album that draws on the sound and attitude that has always set Deep Purple apart from the rest. SPLAT! is their heaviest album in years, with the band playing together in the studio — the way they have always recorded. 

Pre-order SPLAT!

“I have to say, now we are very much back in with material that is compatible with ‘Highway Star,’ ‘Smoke on the Water,’ and ‘Lazy,’ the dynamics, the balance, and the fun of the music we made from ’69 to ’73,” says frontman Gillan, adding: “Where we are now with this incarnation of Deep Purple feels very much like a very ‘now’ version of Deep Purple as it was in the seventies.”

At the heart of SPLAT! is an idea conceived by Gillan. Rather than treating the end as destruction, the album imagines it as transformation: SPLAT! explores the end of humanity not in any crude apocalyptic sense but as a metamorphosis beyond physical existence.

Additional details about the album concept will be revealed in the weeks leading up to its July 3 release. New music from SPLAT! is on the way and Deep Purple invite fans to follow the journey at their Facebook page.

To celebrate the release, the band continues their extensive 2026 touring schedule with no fewer than 86 shows across 28 countries on three continents.

Ian Gillan sums it up: “Deep Purple is in a great place right now.”

The Rolling Stones Announce New Album 'Foreign Tongues' For July 10 Release

The Rolling Stones have announced the release of their new studio album Foreign Tongues, arriving July 10 from Polydor/Universal Music. The 14-track collection follows less than three years after the band’s Grammy Award-winning Hackney Diamonds, which topped charts worldwide and achieved multi-platinum success. The new album will be introduced by the upbeat and infectious lead single "In the Stars" released digitally alongside the album’s opening track "Rough and Twisted." Check it out below.

In the lead-up to the announcement, the band have been subtly building anticipation for the new project, including the limited white label release of the track "Rough and Twisted" only on vinyl under the name The Cockroaches. Circulating among fans and collectors, the release has already sparked excitement and speculation around the sound and direction of Foreign Tongues, offering an early glimpse into the album’s raw and exploratory energy. 

Pre-order Foreign Tongues

Recorded during an exceptionally creative period, Foreign Tongues was brought to life in under a month at Metropolis Studios in West London, with Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood reuniting with Grammy-winning producer Andrew Watt, who also helmed Hackney Diamonds. The result is a dynamic and forward-looking record that captures the band’s unmistakable sound while pushing into new sonic and lyrical territory, further cementing their unparalleled legacy.

The album features standout performances from Jagger, Richards and Wood, alongside their core collaborators including Darryl Jones, Matt Clifford and Steve Jordan. It also includes a special appearance from Charlie Watts, captured during one of his final recording sessions before his passing in 2021. Additional contributions come from an impressive line-up of guest artists, including Steve Winwood, Paul McCartney, The Cure’s Robert Smith and Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Reflecting on the recording process, Mick Jagger said: “I love doing these recording sessions in London at Metropolis. It was a very intense few weeks recording Foreign Tongues. We had 14 great tracks and we went as fast as we could. I like the room there as it’s not too big so you can feel the passion in the room from everyone.”

Keith Richards added: “The Foreign Tongues album has a continuity from Hackney Diamonds and it was great to be working in London again, and to have that London vibe around us. It was a month of concentrated punch. To me, it's all about the enjoyment of it.  I'm blessed to be able to do this and long may it last.”

Ronnie Wood commented: “The atmosphere in the room was so creative, and the whole band was on top form throughout the whole process. Very often we nailed it on the first take. I hope everyone loves it.”

The album’s striking cover artwork is a painting created by acclaimed American artist Nathaniel Mary Quinn who commented: “Creating the album cover for the Rolling Stones is an artistic honor - a dialogue with one of the most enduring forces in cultural history”

Foreign Tongues will be available on a wide range of formats, including CD, deluxe CD editions, cassette, multiple vinyl variants (standard and limited color pressings), exclusive retailer editions, and special box sets, alongside the single "In The Stars" on CD and vinyl formats.

Rhino Releases Audiophile Vinyl, Reel-To-Reel & Atmos Versions Of Grateful Dead's 'Workingman's Dead'

On June 14, 1970, the Grateful Dead released Workingman's Dead, an album that was unlike anything they'd ever done, one that showed the world a new side of the Dead. It was clearly the same band as before, but now with a distinctly different sound and approach to the music, pivoting from psychedelic improvisation to folk-rock storytelling for the "everyman," as the album's title suggests. Now, Rhino High Fidelity presents new audiophile editions of the album on reel-to-reel and vinyl, plus Mickey Hart's 2023 Atmos mix, available on Blu-ray for the first time.

Workingman's Dead (Rhino High Fidelity) was cut from the original master tapes by Kevin Gray and pressed on 180-gram black vinyl at Optimal in Germany. It features glossy gatefold packaging with newly written liner notes by author and Grateful Dead historian David Gans. The album is limited to 5,000 individually numbered copies and available exclusively at Rhino.com and select Warner Music Group stores internationally.

In the liner notes, Gans says the songs reflect a more direct, stripped-down approach, calling them "concise, countrified, and catchy as hell." As bassist Phil Lesh recalled in his autobiography Searching for the Sound, the shift moved the Dead "from the mind-munching frenzy of a seven-headed fire-breathing dragon to the warmth and serenity of a choir of chanting cherubim."

Workingman's Dead (Rhino High Fidelity R2R) was duplicated in real time from a 1:1 copy of the original flat analog master tape. The result is a master-quality listening experience that captures the full dynamics of the recording. The 15 i.p.s. half-track 1/4" tape is produced to the IEC equalization standard on premium RTM LPR90 tape stock and housed on a 10.5" metal reel. The Reel-to-Reel edition is limited to 300 copies worldwide and available exclusively at Rhino.com.

In 2023, Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart created a new Dolby Atmos mix of Workingman's Dead, revealing remarkable instrument separation and nuance in the album's harmonies and arrangements. Hart's immersive mix expands the sonic depth of the original recording while preserving its essential character. Hart's new Atmos mix will be available on Dead.net and Rhino.com. 

While the Dead's first three studio albums appealed to many, the group didn't yet have the mass breakthrough that would make the entire world take notice of this band of misfits from the Bay Area. Workingman's Dead changed all that. With eight perfect songs – like "Casey Jones" and "High Time" – the album solidified the Jerry Garcia-Robert Hunter songwriting tandem as one of the best and most important songwriting collaborations in music history. The album reached the Top Thirty and included the single "Uncle John's Band," which climbed to #69 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.

Garcia, Bob Weir, Ron "Pigpen" McKernan, Phil Lesh, Bill Kreutzmann, and Mickey Hart recorded the album in about 10 days at Pacific High Recording Studio in San Francisco with Bob Matthews and Betty Cantor – the band's live-sound engineers – as producers.

Yes Announce 24th Studio Album 'Aurora' For Early Summer Release

 

Yes have announced their 24th studio album Aurora will be released on June 12 via InsideOutMusic and Sony Music. The album will be available as a Limited Deluxe 180g Light Green 2LP+2CD+Blu-ray Artbook & Poster, as well as a Ltd Deluxe 2CD+Blu-ray Artbook, both featuring the stunning artwork of Roger Dean and Freya Dean, as well as a bonus disc of instrumentals, and a Blu-ray featuring Dolby Atmos, 5.1 Surround Sound & 24bit stereo mixes (by Curtis Schwartz). The album is also available as a Gatefold 180g 2LP + LP-booklet, Special Edition CD Digipak & as Digital Album. 

Pre-order Aurora

Check out the first single from the album, with a beautiful animated video for the title track, created by Matt Hutchings (Greg Lake, Oasis, Iron Maiden) below. 

"Making this record was joyful, a chance to play, explore and give everything to the music," guitarist Steve Howe says. "It's always been about collaboration, somebody can write a song, but until everybody puts their contribution in it isn't really a Yes song. We’re not trying to echo the past; we’re carrying the spirit of Yes forward and turning it into something new."

 When Yes — Howe, Geoff Downes, Jon Davison, Billy Sherwood, and Jay Schellen — first began sketching out ideas for what would become Aurora, the process was loose and exploratory. There was no preconceived concept at the start, just a collection of musical fragments that gradually began to find one another and take form. Among these early sketches was a piece titled “Aurora,” and it quickly became clear that the name carried certain gravity. It suggested light, emergence, and a sense of vastness, qualities that resonated deeply with the band. Davison remembers how "the title immediately resonated with Howe and sparked visual inspiration for artist Roger Dean, setting a conceptual tone that would guide the project."

Work on Aurora began almost as soon as the ‘Classic Tales of Yes’ tour ended in 2024. The idea of a new album surfaced quickly and with the label’s encouragement, the band had the time to develop material organically. Rather than gathering in a single studio for months, they embraced a modern workflow; ideas were born in home studios, shaped independently, and then woven together through constant collaboration. Downes and Howe often acted as the central creative axis, with Howe, as producer, serving as the point through which all ideas eventually flowed.

Across Aurora, each track carries its own character. Some echo the classic approach, others push into new territory, but together they form a cohesive whole that honors the band’s heritage while embracing forward motion. With their 24th studio album, Yes demonstrate not just longevity, but a sustained curiosity, a desire to keep exploring, refining and discovering their capacity to create.
