Punk rock has never been particularly interested in growing old gracefully. It was built on rebellion, frustration, bad decisions, loud guitars, and the beautiful refusal to care what anyone else thinks. But eventually, even the people who helped build the damn thing get older. The leather gets a little more broken in. The fists don't fly quite as high. The voices aren't always as bulletproof as they once were.

It's no secret that bands often labeled with buzzwords such as “new” or “rising” are rarely creating music for the first time. Sure, the artist or band may be new to lots of people, but in an age of endless music coming out at any given moment, there’s a desire to find the next big thing before anyone else does. wilt is the primary example of a group hit with a constant stream of “best new band” monikers, as the California based rock outfit became one of the hottest groups on

On August 22, 2026, more than 13,000 fans packed the Xfinity Center in Mansfield, Massachusetts, to see classic rock mainstays Lynyrd Skynyrd and Foreigner reunite for the Double Trouble Double Vision Tour. The show was exceptional. Six Gun Sally opened the night. Promoting their singles, Sittin' Pretty and Easy Love, and their latest album, Stand Up, the group delivered a terrific performance.

311, a band that has been together for 36 years as of a couple of months ago, graced the stage at the Toyota Music Factory in Irving on a hot summer day. Their stage presence and energy are unmatched, as they know how to get a crowd moving and dancing along throughout their performance. They opened with songs like "Beautiful Disaster," "Come Original," and "All Mixed Up" as their first three songs.

On Wednesday, August 19, 2026, Koe Wetzel was the headliner, and Shane Smith & The Saints performed just before him.

Koe Wetzel was promoting his The Night Champion World Tour. A large crowd of fans attended the venue for a concert experience that became legendary.

The heat is blazing here in Tampa, Florida, but even 100-degree temperatures can't keep fans from claiming their rightful spots in line for tonight’s performance. The exceptionally talented Royale Lynn is making her way across the country on her Royale Pain in the A$$ Tour, her first headlining tour, and tonight, the Orpheum is next in line to become her throne.

Rockstar Energy Open has now wrapped up its third year at Tom McCall Waterfront Park in Portland, Oregon. The event was reminiscent of events in the early 2000s such as the Vans Warped Tour, when skating contests happened alongside live punk bands that were popular at the time. There was definitely something nostalgic about this event, as skating and punk have seemed to evolve in separate directions over the last 20 years. It was fun to see both together in full swing again.

Every once in a while, you walk into a concert, look at the lineup, and say to yourself, "A few years from now, someone is going to see that lineup and be like, 'Wow, all those bands played together.'" It didn't cost a month's income to see them, and it wasn't on some huge festival grounds. On Saturday, August 15th, in Forest Grove, OR I feel like I witnessed one of those concerts: Ole 60 with support from Kolton Moore and the Clever Few and Cigarettes @ Sunset.

On Thursday, August 20th, 2026, the iconic Gene Simmons, renowned as the God of Thunder, made a highly anticipated appearance at the Indiana State Fair. As the Radioactive Intro reverberated through the stacked Marshall Amps, The Gene Simmons Band, comprising Gene Simmons on bass and vocals, Jason Walker on guitar and vocals, Brian Tichy on drums and vocals, and Brent Woods on guitar, took to the Hoosier Lottery Free Stage at 8pm to launch their extensive 19-track set list.

At 90 years old, Guy isn't simply touring. He's carrying more than seven decades of American music history onto the stage with him. The Buddy Guy 90 tour, with Christone "KINGFISH" Ingram opening the night, wasn't merely a celebration of a birthday. It was a celebration of the blues itself, from the artists who built it to the musicians now carrying it forward.

Benson Boone, the singer-songwriter whose Wanted Man Tour stopped in Dallas, Texas, at the American Airlines Center last night, sold out the venue, with more than 20,000 seats filled. He had people shouting, dancing in their seats, and standing in the aisles throughout the show.

Angel Du$t made their way up to Portland for the 3rd annual Rockstar Energy Open skate competition and concert at Tom McCall Waterfront. The boys sat down with us before hitting the stage to chat a bit about music, skating and wrestling random strangers at McDonald’s.

Visuals, Jukebox, and the Payphone: Lord Huron's Cosmic Selector Tour had a massive smoke-filled backdrop that transported the band into hot deserts and dark foggy cold forests throughout the show. The band was spread out on the stage with two major props that were put on the spotlight for the show. The first was a spotlight on a huge jukebox on the right side of the stage that symbolized the album "The Cosmic Selector Vol.1" which depicted themes of fate, choice, regret and
