My Chemical Romance are bringing the Black Parade to London next summer with two huge shows.
The emo icons will play a pair of nights at London’s Wembley Stadium (July 10 and July 11, 2026) for their first shows in the U.K. since 2022. Tickets for the show go on sale Aug. 15 at 10 a.m. (BST) from the band’s website.
The band’s Long Live The Black Parade tour first kicked off in Seattle, Washington on July 11 at the T-Mobile Park. It has since visited a number of outdoor stadiums including Los Angeles’ Dodger Stadium and East Rutherford’s MetLife Stadium. The North American leg will continue through Philadelphia, Chicago, Toronto, Boston before concluding in Tampa, Florida on Sep. 13.
The tour features the band performing their 2006 album The Black Parade in full, alongside an additional greatest hits set. The album peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 upon release.
The London dates join the band’s 2026 slate, which includes a pair of dates at Mexico City’s Estadio GNP Seguros on Feb. 13 and 14. A number of huge names have supported the band on tour thus far, with Alice Cooper, Death Cab for Cutie, Idles, Pixies and Devo all appearing in the special guests slot.
At their show at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Aug. 9, the group rolled out a cover of Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ on a Prayer.” “We’re going to play you guys what may be the New Jersey state anthem,” frontman Gerard Way explained of the song choice.
The group formed in New Jersey in 2001 and received a surprise honor from their hometown of Belleville, as Michael Melham, the town’s mayor awarded them the key to the city on Saturday.
“Belleville’s musicians have entertained millions worldwide,” Melham told the crowd. “Their sound has shaped generations. Yet even in our storied history in Belleville – Revolutionary War soldiers, Purple Heart recipients, a Supreme Court justice, various professional athletes – never once in the history of Belleville have we handed out a key to the city and that changes right now.”
In a new interview with Rolling Stone AU/NZ, the Grammy-winning musician and former Late Show bandleader called the move “a symptom of big money,” warning about the impact of corporate decisions on free speech.
“We’re in a time where the right price can silence the voice of free speech, which we should be very, very conscious of,” said Batiste, who led the show’s house band from 2015 to 2022. “As artists, we have to constantly fight for free speech and fight for the ability to be able to share the authentic truth of our being.”
CBS announced last month that the show would end next year, citing financial reasons. However, the decision has stirred controversy and drawn criticism from several high-profile figures, including Jon Stewart and David Letterman, and prompted speculation about possible political motivations.
Batiste reflected on his seven-year tenure alongside Colbert to the publication, which began when he was in his 20s. “It meant so much to be on national television and learning the ropes of being on a nightly show with a band, and really being on camera and doing that for seven years. And to evolve as an artist in partnership with him,” he said. “I’m very grateful to him and I think where he goes next, his voice won’t be silenced.”
The cancellation of The Late Show comes 10 years after Colbert took it over from prior host David Letterman. CBS has made it clear that it won’t be replacing the Daily Show alum with someone new, but is canning the program altogether.
“We are proud that Stephen called CBS home,” the network added in its statement. “He and the broadcast will be remembered in the pantheon of greats that graced late night television.”
Batiste is set to release his new album Big Money later this year.

The Lumineers are packing their bags for the Southern Hemisphere, announcing they’ll bring their Automatic world tour to Australia and New Zealand in January 2026, their first trip down under in four years.
Presented by Frontier Touring, the run will kick off at Christchurch Town Hall on Jan. 3 before making its way through Auckland, Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide and Perth. It’s a long-overdue return for the US folk-rock favourites, who last played Aussie and Kiwi stages back in 2022.
The upcoming dates are part of the band’s huge Automatic world tour, which has already seen them play to massive crowds across North America and Mexico, with another 29 shows locked in before they even touch down here. And there’s extra cause for celebration — the 2026 run will also mark The Lumineers’ 20th anniversary. Wesley Schultz and Jeremiah Fraites first formed the project in New Jersey back in 2005, slowly building their reputation before breaking out in a big way in 2012.
Their self-titled debut album lit the fuse for the indie-folk explosion of the early 2010s, landing alongside names like Mumford & Sons and Of Monsters and Men. Featuring their now-classic hit “Ho Hey,” the album peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, went triple-platinum in Canada, platinum in the UK and Ireland, and gold here in Australia.
Since then, The Lumineers have chalked up more than 6 billion streams across five albums, scored two Grammy nominations, earned five Billboard Music Award nods, and picked up an American Music Award nomination. Their latest record, Automatic, is their first in three years and debuted in the top 10 of multiple Billboard charts dated March 1, paced by its No. 2 start on the Top Rock Albums and Americana/Folk Albums tallies in July.
Its lead single “Same Old Song” topped Billboard’s Adult Alternative Airplay chart, further cementing their place as one of the genre’s most reliable hitmakers. Automatic is the duo’s first full-length since Brightside, which debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 in 2022.

As New Jersey locals My Chemical Romance returned home with a headline show on Saturday night (Aug. 9), the group paid tribute to one of the state’s other iconic acts, Bon Jovi.
Performing at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey over the weekend, the latest show in the group’s ongoing Long Live The Black Parade Tour wrapped with a special cover version of Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ on a Prayer.”
“We’re going to play you guys what may be the New Jersey state anthem,” frontman Gerard Way explained, noting it was requested by guitarist Frank Iero after witnessing Way perform it during karaoke. “I f–king love this song,” he added.
Released in 1986 as the second single from the band’s third album, Slippery When Wet, “Livin’ on a Prayer” became the second consecutive single from the record to reach No. 1 on the Billboard 200 following “You Give Love a Bad Name.”
As Way suggested, the song’s lyrics and its focus on the working-class from New Jersey have seen it achieve anthemic status within the state.
Earlier in the evening, the band’s set was interrupted by Michael Melham, the Mayor of the group’s hometown of Belleville. Melham was on hand to surprise the group by awarding them the key to the city.
“Belleville’s musicians have entertained millions worldwide,” Melham told the crowd. “Their sound has shaped generations.
“Yet even in our storied history in Belleville – Revolutionary War soldiers, Purple Heart recipients, a Supreme Court justice, various professional athletes – never once in the history of Belleville have we handed out a key to the city and that changes right now.”
Way, who was reportedly unaware of the honor beforehand, accepted graciously, albeit remaining in character as The Black Parade portion of the band’s set required. “We cannot let you leave without giving you a token of our land, Draag,” he told Melham in an Eastern European accent before handing him a bundle of wheat and a “Gubric fish, from the Gubric River” in return.

Colombian musician Maluma has paused his recent show in Mexico City to stand up for one of his youngest concertgoers and their fragile ears.
The incident, which took place during the singer’s three-night run of shows at Palacio de los Deportes, saw the chart-topping artist focus his attention on an audience member who had brought a young child along to the show – apparently without proper ear protection.
“With all due respect… how old are they?” Maluma can be heard asking the child’s guardian in a video shared online, per Variety. “A year old? Less? A year. Do you think it’s a good idea to bring a one-year-old baby to a concert where the decibels are this f–king high? Where is the sound this loud?
“That baby doesn’t even know what it’s doing here,” he added. “Next time, protect their ears or something. For real. It’s heavy. It’s your responsibility. You’re waving them around like they’re a toy. That baby doesn’t want to be there, for real.
“I’m telling you with all love and respect, now that I’m a father… would never bring them to a concert. For the next time, be a bit more aware.”
As Maluma mentioned, he and partner Susana Gomez welcomed their first child last year, with Paris Londoño Gomez being born on March 9, 2024. The musician shared his first photos with his daughter just two weeks later, accompanying the post with a caption that read, “My first 15 days as a Dad, this is the best I’ve ever lived in my Life.”
The recent incident took place as part of Maluma’s +Pretty +Dirty World Tour, which launched in Spain in March before touring throughout Europe and Latin America until May. The current run of dates in Mexico launched in Mexico City on Aug. 6 and will wrap with a date in Guadalajara on Aug. 16 before the larger tour finishes with a show in El Salvador on Aug. 23.

Linkin Park will make a grand return to Australia next year, with the group plotting their first dates Down Under in 13 years.
The newly-announced run of dates will be Linkin Park’s first of 2026, with the group performing at arenas in the capital cities of Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney from early to mid March.
These shows will be the band’s first in Australia since their visit as part of the 2013 Soundwave Festival.
Having toured the country in support of every album up to 2012’s Living Things, the band did not include Australia on the itinerary for 2014’s The Hunting Party tour, and no Aussie dates were scheduled for their One More Light world tour at the time of vocalist Chester Bennington’s passing in July 2017.
The 2026 Australian dates will be taking place as part of Linkin Park’s ongoing From Zero World Tour. Launching in September 2024, the tour is the band’s first with new vocalist Emily Armstrong
“I’m on cloud nine, but then it hits you that there’s a lot of work to be done,” Armstrong told Billboard following the announcement of her joining the group. “And going into these [older] songs, by a singular voice that’s beloved by so many people — it’s like, ‘How do I be myself in this, but also carry on the emotion and what he brought in this band?’”
“It’s Chester’s voice, and it’s mine, but I want it to still feel the way I feel when I listen to the song, because that’s what the fans love,” she added. “There is a passion to it that I’m hoping I can fill.”

Art Fein, a longtime fixture of the Los Angeles music scene who achieved his greatest success as the host of Art Fein’s Poker Party, a music-focused public access TV show, died on July 30. He succumbed to heart failure while recuperating from surgery for a broken hip. He was 79.

10 Memorable Band Managers in TV Shows & Movies
Each episode ran for 30 minutes, and featured conversation and performances. Many of the videos are archived at Fein’s YouTube channel.
“Terribly saddened to hear that Art Fein, producer/manager, music historian and really, the Ed Sullivan of public access TV, has passed away,” bass player Toni Pambianco wrote on X. “He’ll be greatly missed.”
Fein especially liked to give a platform to roots music artists such as zydeco star Clifton Chenier, Jerry “Swamp Dogg” Williams, and Ray Campi & the Rockabilly Rebels. Fein was influential in putting a spotlight on this genre, long before the Recording Academy added dedicated categories to recognize this music, namely best regional roots music album in 2012, best American roots song in 2014 and best American roots performance in 2015.
“He just did such a great job,” Rosie Flores told writer Randy Lewis, who wrote a detailed tribute/biography following Fein’s death. “We could get on television, you know, and we weren’t famous people – a lot of us weren’t famous — but we were cool, and he would give us airtime and who else was doing that? Nobody.”
Fein was quick to capitalize on a 1984 FCC policy that allowed cities to require a public-access channel any time they enter into a franchise agreement with a cable company. The show was taped in Los Angeles, where Fein relocated in 1971 after college, but also aired on local-access channels in Austin, Texas, a stronghold of roots music, and, on a less regular basis, New York City and Seattle. It was at a taping of the show at Century Cable in Santa Monica, Calif. that Fein met his wife, Jennifer, who worked there.
The show was an ideal vehicle for Fein, showcasing his passion for music and his gregarious personality in a way that regular, 9-to-5 jobs never had. In the 1970s, Fein had worked in promotion or publicity for three record companies — Capitol, Elektra/Asylum and Casablanca — but he didn’t last more than a year at any of them. He was also music editor for Variety for about a year. That wasn’t a good fit for his talents and temperament, either.
The show is where he really flowered. In 1992, when the show was eight years and 400 episodes into its run, The Los Angeles Times ran a major feature on Fein and his show. The writer of the piece, Bob Baker, noted that prior to the show, Fein “had been making an uneven living in the margins of rock music —working as a music consultant on films and TV shows, writing freelance articles, writing album liner notes and, for a couple years, managing the Blasters.”
“If this show is a springboard, I’ll be mighty happy,” Fein told Baker, “but if it’s not, I’m having a ball doing what I want to do. I’ve always had an artistic temperament, but before I started the show I never had any art. I couldn’t sing; I didn’t want to write a novel. But this is something I feel really good about. I almost feel like a knight going off to battle when I leave the house, like I’m going to really say something.”
Fein was a catalyst who loved nothing more than making things happen (he was less concerned with whether he got paid for his role). He played The Blasters’ “Marie Marie” for Shakin’ Stevens, who recorded it and landed a top 20 hit on the Official U.K. Singles Chart in 1980. He organized annual events such as an annual Elvis Birthday Bash, held on or around The King’s Jan. 8 birthday each year for more than four decades, and a New Year’s Eve Bash for six years from 1978 to 1984.
Arthur David Fein was born on June 17, 1946, and was adopted at birth by Sam and Lillian Fein. The music bug bit him when he was 10, which is also, not coincidentally, when Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry and other rock and roll icons exploded.
In his 2022 memoir, Rock’s in My Head, Fein wrote about accidentally catching Presley on The Ed Sullivan Show in January 1957. “My life changed in a lightning bolt,” he wrote. “Who was this side-burned Pied Piper from outer space with slick black hair like Superman, and just as handsome? … What was this music? This was rock & roll!”
Fein became an even bigger fan of Lewis. “If Elvis was God, Jerry Lee Lewis was the Prince of Darkness,” he wrote.
Fein graduated from the University of Colorado, Boulder at the end of the 1960s with a degree in journalism. He moved to California in 1971, living for a couple of years just south of Santa Cruz. In 1973, he moved to L.A. He had a brief stint at Capitol in the label’s newly-created college promotion department. The department was eliminated less than a year later.
Fein freelanced music articles for a time before being hired as music editor at Variety. That job didn’t last long either, nor did subsequent jobs in publicity at Elektra/Asylum and Casablanca. Some people just aren’t cut out for 9-to-5 gigs.
Fein did better working for himself. He hung out his shingle as an artist manager, working with Ray Campi & the Rockabilly Rebels, The Blasters, The Cramps and The Heaters. In 1983, he produced the album, (Art Fein Presents) The Best ofL.A. Rockabilly. He was a music consultant for TV and film — Roadhouse 66 (1984), Tour of Duty (1987) and Blood Diner (1987).
Fein was also a successful author. He wrote three books: The L.A. Musical History Tour: A Guide to the Rock and Roll Landmarks of Los Angeles (Faber & Faber, 1991, with a second edition published by 2.13.61 in 1998); The Greatest Rock & Roll Stories: The Most Outrageous, Magical and Scandalous Events in the History of Rock & Roll (Rhino/GPG, 1997); and the memoir Rock’s in My Head (Trouser Press Books, 2022).
In The L.A. Musical History Tour, Fein told readers where to find such L.A. rock sites as the Foster’s Freeze in Hawthorne where The Beach Boys hung out; Morrison Hotel, where The Doors shot the cover photo for their 1970 album of the same name; and the location of the “Rock & Roll Denny’s.”
He also wrote a blog, Another Fein Mess. Dispatches from 1998 to 2017 are archived at Fein’s website.
Fein had a long and complicated friendship with Phil Spector. Fein had long idolized the legendary producer and creator of the Wall of Sound. The first place Fein stopped when he arrived in L.A. in 1973 was the now-defunct Gold Star Recording Studios in Hollywood, where Spector produced sessions by such acts as The Crystals and The Righteous Brothers. Over the years, Fein brought many friends, including Gene Sculatti, Bob Merlis, Dick Blackburn, Kristine McKenna and me, to Spector’s home for visits.
Fein remained loyal even after Spector shot and killed actress Lana Clarkson at his home in 2003. He attempted to stay in touch even after Spector was convicted of second-degree murder in 2009 and was sentenced to 19 years to life in prison. But eventually, Fein seemed to accept that he had been loyal to a fault.
“I wrote to him 15 times when he was in prison and never got an answer,” Fein revealed in his memoir. “By the time he died, on January 16, 2021, at the age of 81, I had completed my mourning.”
Journalist Chris Morris (a former Billboard writer and editor), summarized Fein’s unique collection of strengths in a review of Fein’s memoir: “Art has served rock & roll as scribe, flack, label guy, manager, promoter, TV host, kibitzer, schmoozer, and all-around good Joe. He has known the famous, infamous, nefarious, and fabulous denizens of the music and lived to tell the tale.”
Fein is survived by his wife, Jennifer, and their daughter, Jessie.

Friday Music Guide: New Music From Jonas Brothers, Gunna, MGK, Laufey and More
The Last Wun brought in nearly 57% of the vote, beating out new releases from artists like MGK (Lost Americana), Laufey (“Snow White”), Jonas Brothers (Greetings From Your Hometown) and Ethel Cain‘s (Willoughby Tucker, I’ll Always Love You).
The 25-track album, the follow-up to last year’s One of Wun, includes the singles “Won’t Stop” and “Him All Along,” and features collaborations with Offset, Wizkid, Asake, Burna Boy and Nechie.
Given the finality suggested by the project’s title, fans have speculated that this may be Gunna’s last release under YSL Records/300 Entertainment. His relationship with the label — founded by Young Thug — has become increasingly complicated in the wake of the high-profile YSL RICO trial.
“It’ll come to me just through life and just living,” Gunna told Uproxx in June, describing his creative process. “So for this album in particular, it’s no theme. It’s in current time of what’s happening with me.”
Gunna last topped the Billboard 200 with 2022’s DS4EVER. All of his solo albums have landed in the top three on the chart and reached No. 1 on the Top Rap Albums chart.
MGK’s Lost Americana secured second place in the poll with 13% of the vote. The rootsy folk album marks the artist formerly known as Machine Gun Kelly’s first full-length Americana project, following a run of hip-hop and pop-punk releases. The “Other” category came in third, earning nearly 9% of the vote.

Bobby Whitlock, the keyboardist, singer-songwriter and co-founder of the blues-rock band Derek and the Dominos, has died at the age of 77.
Whitlock passed away early Sunday morning (Aug. 10) at 1:20 a.m. following a brief battle with cancer, his manager Carol Kaye confirmed to Variety. He died at his home in Texas, surrounded by family.

Whitlock’s wife, Coco Carmel Whitlock, honored his extraordinary life in a statement to TMZ.
“How do you express in but a few words the grandness of one man who came from abject poverty in the south to heights unimagined in such a short time?” she said. “My love Bobby looked at life as an adventure taking me by the hand leading me through a world of wonderment from music to poetry and painting. I feel his hands that were so intensely expressive and warm on my face and the small of my back whenever I close my eyes, he is there.”
Born on March 18, 1948, in Memphis, Tenn., Whitlock made history as the first white artist signed to Stax Records when he was still a teenager in the mid-1960s. During his time with the legendary label, he performed alongside soul greats including Booker T. & the MG’s and Sam & Dave.
In 1968, Whitlock joined Delaney & Bonnie and Friends, a group whose collaborators included future Derek and the Dominos members Eric Clapton, Carl Radle and Jim Gordon. During this period, Whitlock also contributed to Clapton’s 1970 self-titled debut album and played organ and piano on George Harrison’s landmark 1970 release, All Things Must Pass.
Later that same year, Clapton, Whitlock, Radle and Gordon formed Derek and the Dominos. Whitlock co-wrote half the tracks on the band’s first and only studio album, Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs, including “Bell Bottom Blues” and “Tell the Truth.” Derek and the Dominos embarked on a U.S. tour in support of the album, with Elton John serving as their opening act.
“It was their keyboard player Bobby Whitlock that I watched like a hawk,” John wrote in his autobiography, according to the Los Angeles Times. “He was from Memphis, learned his craft hanging around Stax Studios and played with that soulful, deep Southern gospel feel.”
Amid escalating drug use and growing personal tensions within the group, Derek and the Dominos split in 1971 while in the midst of recording their sophomore album. Whitlock went on to release a string of solo albums in the 1970s, beginning with his self-titled debut, which featured contributions from all the members of Derek and the Dominos, as well as Harrison. He followed it later that same year with Raw Velvet.
As a session musician, Whitlock also appeared on the Rolling Stones’ Exile on Main St., Dr. John’s The Sun, Moon & Herbs, and Stephen Stills & Manassas’ Down the Road.
Whitlock released additional solo music throughout the 1970s and returned in the 1990s, often collaborating with his musical partner and future wife, CoCo Carmel, whom he married in December 2005.
Whitlock is survived by his wife, CoCo Carmel, and his children Ashley Faye Brown, Beau Elijah Whitlock, and Tim Whitlock Kelly, according to the Los Angeles Times.
