After a day of nonstop action at Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, a common enemy of music festivals around the world began to rear its big, ugly head. Mother Nature acts as friend and foe to music festivals, with the latest example in Governor’s Ball history being the infamous Saturday of 2025. The doors didn't open until 4 o'clock because of the lighting, and many fans of the lineup ended up making it into the shortened festival absolutely soaked. The forecast called for a chan

TK from Ling Tosite Sigure had a sold-out, ground-level show at the House of Blues in Dallas. It was a very dark and intimate performance.

It’s always fun, in rock journalism, to make and debate lists when discussing genres of music. You know: 50 greatest guitarists, Top 500 albums of all time, Big 4 of thrash metal, stuff like that. If there was a “Big 3” of Canadian hard rock – and I’m not talking the later 80s wave all-out heavy metal like Anvil, Exciter and Razor, but old-school, vintage hard rock – you’d almost certainly have to put Rush as #1 - they were the biggest, longest-lasting, and sold the most al

I love classic rock, especially Van Halen, so I was excited to go to David Lee Roth’s show at the historic Hampton Beach Casino. David Lee Roth, known as “Diamond Dave,” is celebrated for his wild and energetic stage personality. The setlist was filled with well-loved classic Van Halen songs, from the opening “Panama” to the fan favorite “Jump.” The crowd was full of longtime fans and newer rock enthusiasts, and they knew every verse, singing along to nearly every song.

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.
