Following an extremely successful 2025, which included the band’s record-breaking comeback and numerous sold-out shows, Sublime has an even larger 2026 planned. With the 30th anniversary of their self-titled album and highly anticipated new album, Till The Sun Explodes, the year is already full of momentum. To continue it, the band has announced Sublime Me Gusta.
Sublime Me Gusta
Sublime Me Gusta is a multi-city celebration of reggae, punk, and hip-hop, built around the groundbreaking, timeless sound and impact of Sublime. The name is pulled from the lyric “Me gusta mi reggae, me gusta punk rock” from the song “Caress Me Down.” It is co-produced by Sublime and Brew Ha Ha Productions, known for Summer Roots, Punk in the Park, and more.
“It’s always been our dream to put on a Festival for our friends and family,” says Jakob Nowell, frontman of Sublime. “It’s punk rock, hip hop, reggae, surf — all facets of true west coast alternative culture that has been kept alive for generations by fans and musicians alike. This is our era now and we got nothing but love for everyone coming with us.”
“As someone who lives in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, I couldn’t be more excited to launch the first-ever Sublime Me Gusta Festival right in our own backyard,” said event co-producer Cameron Collins of Brew Ha Ha Productions. “Sublime and Slightly Stoopid are two of the most influential bands of our generation and bringing them together for this new festival is something truly special. Fort Worth is the perfect place to kick off Sublime Me Gusta, and we can’t wait to share the full experience with everyone.”

Dates & Lineups
The touring festival launches in Fort Worth on Saturday, May 9, 2026, at Panther Island Pavilion. Here, they will be joined by their longtime friends, Slightly Stoopid, bringing together two of the most influential punk-reggae-rock bands. June 27 has been announced to take place in Oregon, with the city and venue to be determined.
Full lineups are to be announced in the coming weeks, as fans can expect a hand-picked lineup that complements the true spirit of Sublime.

Following the German band’s recent signing to Century Media Records and the release of their first song with them, “Cyclone”, Future Palace has unveiled their newest anthem, which explores human connection, mental health, and the pressures of everyday life.
“Deep Blue” Art by Peter Leukhardt
Deep Blue
Fear of drifting away from those important is the driving inspiration behind the brand new single. The band uses deep-sea imagery and metaphors in order to portray the emotional severity of isolation and depression. It serves as an anthem for those who have felt left behind and/or trapped within their own head.
“It’s about the moment you realize you’re losing someone – or yourself – because everything around you becomes too overwhelming,” says vocalist Maria Lessing
“Deep Blue” seamlessly blends the band’s classic combination of melodic and heavy elements, from its catchy chorus to its striking breakdown.
The single is available for streaming and download here!
Underwater Imagery
The deep-sea narrative is brought to life through its blue-tinted underwater video. It depicts the band as a submarine crew in search of a friend who has turned into a siren due to isolation. Her defensiveness and pain mirror the emotional effects of loneliness, showcasing the belief that no one cares, even while help is close. Between the narrative scenes are shots of the band performing on the submarine in front of monitor screens.
Directed by Pavel Trebukhin and with Lessing taking on the role of creative director herself, the video elevates the song’s message while creating a cinematic story.
Everclear’s musical career has been anything but boring. With 11 studio releases four of which are certified Gold or Platinum, over six million records sold, 12 Top 40 hit singles, and a Grammy nomination under their belt, they have made a significant impact.
Sparkle and Fade
After making major waves in the Portland scene and attracting the attention of many, Everclear made their major label debut with Capital Records. With their collaboration came their platinum-selling album Sparkle and Fade.
The album topped charts with “Santa Monica”, making 1995 an unforgettable year for them. The song has been hailed as “a must have for any fan of pop-punk” (Punknews), while The Rolling Stone Album Guide declared, “Sparkle and Fade was everything a radio-ready rock record should be: explosive, soul-searching, belligerent.”
Sparkle and Fade 30th Anniversary Remastered Deluxe Edition
Remastered Deluxe Edition
Now, in celebration of 30 years of Sparkle and Fade, the 30th Anniversary Edition is out now. It is on all streaming platforms via Universal Music Group and can be found here!
All 14 original tracks are present on the album, remastered by Brad Blackwood, joined by bonus content. There are also previously unreleased tracks, alternative versions of fan favorites, and original demos. Alongside these are cover songs, which were recorded around the same time as Sparkle and Fade.
“It’s been really hard to get my head around the fact that it’s been 30 years since the release of Sparkle and Fade,” shares Art Alexakis, vocalist, guitarist, and founder. “It’s also kind of mind-boggling to understand how much of an impact this album has had on my life, the world around me, and from what I hear from fans all over the world, how much of an impact it has had on them too. This remastered version sounds better than it ever has before! It’s pretty exciting for me to listen to something that has sounded the same for 30 years and now has so much more dimension to it. I hope Sparkle and Fade fans can hear and feel that as well.”
He continues, “The creation and success of this record truly changed my life in so many ways. It helped me to finally believe in myself as a songwriter, singer, and producer, and it helped me to believe that I could really do this thing that I had dreamed of my whole life. And for that, I am eternally grateful.”
A translucent kelly green double vinyl is available for pre-order now! It can be found here and is scheduled to ship in January.
Sparkle and Fade 30th Anniversary Tour
Aside from the deluxe remaster, the band has also been celebrating 30 years of the album through the Sparkle and Fade 30th Anniversary Tour.
The 43-date U.S. headline tour had sold out in most cities and received plenty of praise from fans and media. The Front Row Report described the show as “one hell of a concert experience” while Chicago Patch affirmed it as “a potent mix of high-energy performances, heartfelt storytelling, and pure, unadulterated nostalgia.”
The tour continues overseas for 16 dates in Australia, which began on November 21st. Dates in more information are found here!
Heavily influenced by 2000s pop and ‘90s trance/EDM, the Toronto-based artist began uploading songs to YouTube in her teens. Pursuing her dream, she launched her project WHOISRUNE in 2019 with her debut track “Adrenaline”. Since then, she has been making her presence known with over eight million total streams between her EP and 14 total singles.
Now, under the name RUNE, the UNFD artist has revealed her newest EP, Depth Perception, along with a striking music video for “Erode”.
Erode
The song dives into introspective themes, accompanied by an ethereal yet hard-hitting rock instrumental. After journeying through Rune’s lulling vocals and melodic verses and melodies, Mike Parsram joins the track. An electronic effect surrounds his screams before dissolving, allowing the screams to come front and center. The feature implements a heavy element into the dreamy song. The mix of electronic and headbanging pieces cements the song as a dynamic and emotional piece.
“‘Erode’ is a dialogue about struggling with your negative inner voice,” RUNE explains. “I wanted to describe it almost as a separate entity from yourself, because I feel like when you are struggling with your inner voice, it always feels like an uphill battle. The chorus lyrics ‘Take away all the pieces now, It takes a sacrifice, to let it all unfold’ describes the way you may feel like you have to give all of your energy to get through, but sometimes things take a sacrifice in order to get better. This means a lot to me in my personal journey of choosing to be a musician, because it’s not a straightforward path and we are often our own harshest critics.”
She continues, “In the end of the song, I included my first language Hungarian. It’s tucked away behind vocal layering, but the lyrics are a back-and-forth of storytelling between the English and Hungarian, which I thought was a cool juxtaposition. When I say ‘Your body will fall away’ in Hungarian, I am saying (general translation) ‘Your heart, your soul, you’ve left it behind, now it searches for you.’ I love the juxtaposition of the softness of my vocals, and the harshness of Mike Parsram on this track. It really feels like you are being tormented by your sleep paralysis demon, or something of the sort.”
Music Video
The song’s official video arrived alongside the release. Directed by Alex McFarland, it creates the perfect atmosphere to match the different sections of the song. The editing style combines the clear, close up shots with grainy footage, creating a haunting visual. RUNE is depicted holding candles while walking through a dark hallway and singing her powerful melody. Upon Parsram’s feature, the camera movements and clips move at a faster pace, reflecting the heavy section.
RUNE’s brand new EP marks the second in her discography. It is a vulnerable and emotional collection of songs, highly anticipated by fans following the singles, “Fast Asleep” and “Sacred”.
Regarding the EP, RUNE says, “This release has a little bit of everything, but the final track, ‘Depth Perception,’ is one that really sums up the whole journey which is why I decided to name the record after it. This EP contains so many different emotions and experiences. A lot of it is written about grief and trying to make the world around you make sense again. But it’s also a record about struggling with your inner voice, and other experiences that shape you for who you are. At the end of it all, the world around you is shaped by the way you view it.”
RUNE finishes, “Ultimately, these songs are all special to me for one reason or another but I hope those who listen can relate to the songs and the lyrics in their own way, through their own depth perception.”
Depth Perception is available for streaming and download now! It is accessable here!
The Chicago-based band has made a significant impact and gathered the attention of many recently. They’ve found their way to a scene favorite with their unique blend of sounds and inspirations. They combine 90’s alt-rock, midwest emo, and electronic elements to create one-of-a-kind art-rock, which is both introspective and fun. Now, This House Is Creaking has released their newest single, “Something Else”.
“Something Else” Artwork
Something Else
The single is characterized by its dynamic contrast. It packs in playful parts, calm pieces, and explosive sections into the three minutes and 48 seconds, leaving no room for a boring moment. The noise pop elements are injected with sharp guitar as the song keeps the listener guessing, contrasting its confessional lyrics.
“This is a song about accepting mediocrity in the face of failure, even when you cannot figure out why it is you’ve failed, and trying to fix things that seem to have broken without understanding how they broke in the first place,” says This House is Creaking, “It’s a funny song we made with our friends Peter Schultze and Hunter Borowick from Tuff Sudz.”
The single follows last month’s release of “2 LAMP (lava lamp)”. It has since been chosen for Pitchfork Selects and Alternative Press A-Sides. The song has also received acclaim from publications such as Chasing Sundays and Glide Magazine.
Just last summer, the band released their second studio album, I Want To Feel At Home Here. It includes tracks such as “Talk To Me”, which focuses on noise and melody, and “Elden Ring”, which displays a tender end of their range. It questions what is happening in the world and the introspection on how to find oneself in it. The album makes it clear that their next sonic steps will always remain unique and unpredictable.

This House is Creaking has been brought to participate in some significant live shows. Water From Your Eyes, Hotline TNT, and Delaney Bailey, on her Midwest Tour this fall, all include the Chicago sonic visionaries.

The leading music video network in the world, Vevo, named their artist of the year as Gigi Perez. Each year, they choose one in celebration of their annual Vevo Discover Artists to Watch list. Gigi Perez had previously worked with Vevo for live performances of “Fable” and “Sailor Song” and now has returned for her short film, Back to the Beach.

Vevo and Gigi Perez
Following her album At The Beach, In Every Life, Gigi Perez has welcomed the world to view live performances of “Fable” and “Sugar Water”. Alongside this are song explanations and insight into her background and beginnings in music.
JP Evangelista, SVP, Content, Programming and Marketing, Vevo, spoke on Perez, stating, “Gigi Perez is the definition of what it means to be an artist on the rise. With a sound that is bold yet vulnerable, storytelling that’s deeply authentic, and a stage presence that is simply unmatched, she perfectly embodies the next generation of artists that Vevo always loves to champion. She’s a true artist in every sense of the word, and represents the very best of this new generation of global talent: fearless, driven, and completely themselves. The entire team is already so proud of the strides she’s taken in this industry, and we are so thrilled to support her at such a pivotal moment in what promises to be a long and storied career.”

Back to the Start
The film begins at the Village Music Cafe in Palm Beach. The cafe is where Perez began her career and is a second home to her. “One day, I drove by the mall and noticed that there was an open mic,” Gigi muses, “Ever since that day I walked through the doors, the owners, Steven and Donna, took me in as their own kid – their musical child.”
She credits the cafe for allowing her to grow her confidence and love for performing. Then, she explains her amazement at performing in such a small cafe to now playing 65 shows in 2025 for over 700,000 people.
“I think the first few years of putting music out under my artist name, there were a lot of constant roadblocks. Like, every single day, there was a door that you opened, and behind it was like a little fist that punched you in the face. But this year, it was different. Things started to just flow and happen in a way that I just haven’t experienced before…I’m just so grateful.”

My Chemical Romance are closing out their 2026 schedule with two massive shows that solidify another milestone in their career. The band has announced a pair of Los Angeles dates for Friday, October 30 and Saturday, October 31, both taking place at the legendary Hollywood Bowl. The back-to-back Halloween weekend performances mark their fourth and fifth consecutive nights at the venue, setting a new record as MCR become the first band to ever play five shows in a row at the iconic amphitheater.
The announcement arrives just after the final three dates of The Black Parade 2026 Tour, which has already proven to be one of the band’s most celebrated runs since reuniting. The upcoming “Devil’s Night” and “Halloween” shows promise a distinct atmosphere shaped by the holiday energy, the Bowl’s dramatic setting beneath the Hollywood Hills, and the band’s ongoing focus on crafting immersive live experiences.
For the October 30 show, The Used will join as special guests, reconnecting two bands that helped define a generation of alternative music fans. On Halloween night, MCR will be joined by Thrice, another staple of the era that continues to push forward with intensity and introspection.
The Hollywood Bowl has long been regarded as one of the world’s most storied venues, hosting legends across genres for decades. My Chemical Romance’s five-night run not only marks a historic moment for the space but also reinforces the group’s status as one of the most influential and enduring bands of the past twenty years.
Tickets for both newly announced shows go on sale Friday, November 21 at 9:00 a.m. PT here. Fans can join the Artist Presale by signing up before 11:59 a.m. PT on Wednesday, November 19 at the provided link, with no code required.
Atreyu have returned with their first new release in more than two years, dropping a stark and unsettling video for their latest single “Dead.” The Southern California veterans have always thrived at the intersection of punishing heaviness and soaring melody, and their newest track leans hard into that balance. Recorded by Matthew Pauling, “Dead” captures a band that is still evolving while staying rooted in the sound that made them metalcore fixtures in the first place.
The video, directed and produced by Sean Stiegemeier, matches the intensity of the song with imagery that pushes into darker emotional territory. In a statement, the band said, “‘Dead’ lyrically is about a very real and very dark question. It was important for us for the video to match that energy. This video may be sensitive to some but to us it was important to match the reality and the gravity of what ‘Dead’ is about.”
Alongside the release, Atreyu are back on the road for a celebratory run marking the 20 + 1 year anniversary of their influential 2004 album The Curse. The record remains a defining moment of the mid 2000s metalcore surge and delivered classics like “Bleeding Mascara,” “Right Side of the Bed,” and “The Crimson.” The current tour brings the album back to packed rooms across North America, giving longtime fans a chance to revisit the era that helped launch the band to global recognition.
The new single arrives on the heels of a massive year for Atreyu. The group recently wrapped a co headlining U.S. tour and continued to dominate festival stages, appearing at Download, Hellfest, Welcome to Rockville, and Inkcarceration. Their 2023 full length The Beautiful Dark of Life made a strong Billboard debut and has already surpassed 75 million streams, further cementing their staying power in heavy music.
With more than one billion streams across their catalog and a fanbase that grows by the day, Atreyu’s commitment to reinvention keeps them moving forward. For now, “Dead” marks the beginning of their next chapter as they revisit one of their most iconic eras onstage.
The “World Center of Rock” originally established itself at the Daytona International Speedway in 2011. Since then, it has attracted record-breaking crowds and become an international dream destination for fans of rock music.

Year after year, the festival generates an estimated $80 million in economic impact through tourism, hospitality, and local business engagement.
Now, following its record-breaking 2025, “one of the best festivals in the world” (Rock Feed), has announced its 15th anniversary lineup. Brought to life by Danny Wimmer Presents, the festival will return to the Daytona International Speedway from May 7 through 10 in 2026.

Over 160 bands from all rock genres will perform across the five stages. It was previously announced that Bring Me The Horizon and My Chemical Romance would headline, and now Guns N’ Roses and Foo Fighters join the list of acclaimed acts.
Thursday, May 7, will be led by Guns N’ Roses, Five Finger Death Punch, Godsmack, and Staind. Zoltan Bathory of Five Finger Death Punch said, “We are dropping our 10th studio album and kicking off our 20th anniversary world tour in 2026, so starting the year at Welcome To Rockville feels perfect. It is one of the biggest rock festivals in North America, and there is no better stage to fire the first shot of this next chapter of Five Finger Death Punch.”
Friday then brings Foo Fighters, TURNSTILE, The Offspring, and Parkway Drive to the stage. The following day, Bring Me The Horizon, Breaking Benjamin, Motionless in White, and Lamb of God will top the bill.

This includes bands such as Bring Me The Horizon, Parkway Drive, Sepultura, Coal Chamber, The Ready Set, and Spineshank.
Plenty of important album anniversaries are ready to be celebrated on the Welcome to Rockville stage.

A Word from the Force Behind the Festival
Earlier this year, Danny Wimmer Presents and the Daytona International Speedway announced a 10-year agreement. This secures Welcome To Rockville in Daytona Beach through 2025.
“Fifteen years in, Rockville has grown into something bigger than I ever imagined,” says Danny Wimmer of DWP. “Last year’s record-breaking crowd raised the bar for what this festival could be, and this year’s lineup lives up to that energy. Bringing together Foo Fighters, Guns N’ Roses, My Chemical Romance, Bring Me The Horizon, and so many others on the same bill is more than a booking decision — it’s what keeps this genre alive and moving forward. Rock only grows when every era and every sound has a place, and it’s important to me that all corners of this world are represented here. Being able to deliver a lineup like this in my home state is something I’m truly grateful for.”
“With the full lineup now revealed, fans can start getting loud for the 15th anniversary of Welcome To Rockville at Daytona International Speedway,” said Frank Kelleher, President of Daytona International Speedway. “We’re bringing the heat in 2026 — Guns N’ Roses, Foo Fighters, Five Finger Death Punch, Godsmack, Breaking Benjamin and over 160 bands ready to blow the doors off The World Center of Racing. Daytona is built for moments like this, and Rockville will deliver them all weekend long.”
