Billy Joel‘s historic Madison Square Garden run might be over, but the Piano Man is not done playing to the rafters. Joel announced a new run of 2025 stadium shows on Thursday (Sept. 26) that will once again find him sharing the stage with recent tour mates Sting and Stevie Nicks.
The run is slated to kick-off on Feb. 8 with a gig at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, IN with support from the former Police frontman and solo star, who will also join Joel at stadium shows in Syracuse, NY (April 11), Charlotte, NC (May 10) and Salt Lake City, UT (May 23). Nicks will be on hand for a March 29 concert at Ford Field in Detroit.
The Live Nation pre-sale for the new dates will kick off on Oct. 2 (access code SETLIST) here, with a general on-sale to follow on Oct. 54 beginning at 10 a.m. local time here.
Joel is on the road now, with a sold out show at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, MO scheduled for Friday night (Sept. 27) with Sting, followed by an Oct. 12 show at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, CA and an Oct. 25 one at the Alamodome in San Antonio, TX. He’ll close out the year with a show at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, again with Sting, and a Nov. 23 stop at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, FL.
Earlier this summer, Joel wrapped up his historic 10-year MSG residency, which ran for 104 shows and earned $266.7 million on sales of 1.9 million tickets according to Billboard Boxscore.

Billie Eilish and Finneas have been a package deal since day one. The siblings’ musical kismet has worked out pretty well so far, netting them billions of streams, two Oscars and Golden Globes, nine Grammy Awards and three Billboard Music Awards, among many others.

But there comes a time in every artist’s career when they are ready to branch out on their own, and according to Finneas that time is now for his sister. Speaking to Guitar.com, Finneas, 27, said he’s been busy building out Billie’s home studio, and by the sound of it he’s pretty confident she’ll make good use of it.
“I’ve been setting up Billie’s recording studio for her so she can do home production without me, because she’s very good at it!,” Finneas said of Eilish, 22. “And it’s funny, I’ve been giving her, like, the bare minimum of stuff, just so that she learns it all. Y’know what I mean? I’m like ‘Listen, I could give you all the stuff that I use now, but it took me years to even have a use for it. And, if I give you this basic thing, it’ll make sense to you right away.’”
To date, Finneas has produced all three of Billie’s album, from her breakthrough 2019 debut, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? — which featured such beloved tracks as “You Should See Me In a Crown,” “When the Party’s Over” and “Bad Guy” — as well 2021’s Happier Than Ever and this year’s Hit Me Hard and Soft. In between, Finneas has also released two solo albums, 2021’s Optimist and this year’s For Cryin’ Out Loud and the 2019 EP Blood Harmony.
Before she can get into that studio, though, Eilish will hit the road for her 2024-2025 Hit Me Hard and Soft The Tour, which kicks off on Sunday (Sept. 29) with a sold out show at the Centre Videotron in Quebec.

Say it is so. Weezer announced on Thursday (Sept. 26) that they are hosting a special two-night screening of a live concert film shot in the midst of the current tour celebrating the 30th anniversary of their 1994 debut, commonly referred to as The Blue Album.
Weezer’s Voyage to the Blue Planet: The Concert Film was filmed at the group’s Sept. 10 show at Boston’s TD Garden — where they played the entire Blue Album and other fan favorites — and it will livestream on Moment.co on Oct. 13 and 14. Fans can buy tickets for $13 through Friday (Sept. 27) at 3 p.m. ET, before the price bumps up to $16, then $18 on day of show.
The Blue period celebration rolls on with an upcoming 30th anniversary edition of the album, which will feature 36 unreleased tracks, due out on Nov. 1. The Super Deluxe edition will sprawl across four LPs, a 10-inch EP and a 7-inch single; a $400 Ultra Limited Edition version will come wrapped in a signed sweater.
In addition to the beloved classics from the original album, including “My Name Is Jonas,” “Buddy Holly,” “Undone – The Sweater Song,” “Say It Ain’t So” and “Holiday,” the second LP features the “Kitchen Tape Demos” with a number of previously unreleased versions of the original songs and other rarities such as “Thief, You’ve taken all that was me,” “Let’s sew our pants together” and “Paperface.” LP three has early versions of the album’s songs, from rehearsal demos to practice and garage takes, while the four LP is packed with early live recordings.
Weezer are currently on the North American portion of their Voyage to the Blue Planet arena tour with guests Flaming Lips and Dinosaur Jr. The next show is tonight at the Moody Center in Austin, TX.

Sabrina Carpenter love the taste of chart victory. The U.S. pop artist and actor leads Australia’s charts once more with “Taste” and Short n’ Sweet, respectively.
When the ARIA Singles Chart was published late Friday, Sept. 27, “Taste” was on top for the fifth straight week, lifting her total number of weeks at No. 1 this year to eight – more than any other artist. The next best is Benson Boone, with six total weeks at the ARIA Chart summit, all clocked up by “Beautiful Things.”
With “Taste” in the lead, the podium is closed out by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With A Smile” and Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” respectively.
Over on the ARIA Albums Chart, Short n’ Sweet logs a fourth non-consecutive week at No. 1, ahead of Katy Perry’s new arrival 143, dropping in No. 2.
That’s Perry’s fifth top 10 album following Teenage Dream (No. 1 for two weeks in 2010), Prism (No. 1 for one week in 2013), Witness (No. 2 in 2017) and her recent LP Smile, which peaked at No. 2 in 2020.
Meanwhile, Keith Urban swings in with High, new at No. 3. The Aussie country star played a surprise gig in his hometown Brisbane, ahead of the release of High, his 11th studio effort. He’ll return in the second-half of 2025 for a major arena jaunt.
A six-time ARIA Award-winner, Urban previously hit No. 1 on the ARIA Chart with The Story So Far (in 2012), Fuse (2013), Ripcord (2016) and The Speed Of Now Part 1 (2020).
Also new to the top tier is homegrown indie band The Rubens, new No. 4 with SODA, their sixth album. SODA is the band’s fifth top 10 appearance after 2012’s self-titled debut (peaking at No.3), 2015’s Hoops (No. 2), 2018’s Lo La Ru (No. 3) and 2021’s 0202 (No. 1 for one week).
The Rubens have collected a brace of ARIA Awards, and in January 2016 won triple j’s Hottest 100 countdown with “Hoops.”

Kylie Minogue is back, and she’s turning up the heat with her brand-new single, “Lights Camera Action,” released today (Sept. 27).
The track is the first single from her highly anticipated upcoming album Tension II, out Oct. 18, via Mushroom Music.
“Lights Camera Action” sees the Australian pop legend dive deeper into the electronic world, continuing the nightclub-inspired sound that made her last album Tension a global hit.
Produced by Lewis Thompson and co-written by Kylie, Thompson, and Ina Wroldsen (the co-writer behind her previous hit, “Padam Padam“), the single is packed with high-energy beats fit for the dance floor.
The track serves as a celebration of all things glamorous, with the accompanying music video—directed by Sophie Muller and shot in Budapest—seeing the pop queen take on multiple iconic roles, from a film star to a photographer. Fans don’t have to wait long to catch the full visual spectacle, with the video set to premiere at 6 AM PT.
Kylie’s upcoming album, Tension II, is shaping up to be a powerhouse sequel to her previous album, with collaborations featuring The Blessed Madonna, Orville Peck, Bebe Rexha, Tove Lo, and Sia.
The release of “Lights Camera Action” sets the stage for the superstar’s next chapter, with the Tension Tour kicking off in her homeland of Australia in February 2025. The tour is poised to be Kylie’s biggest since 2011’s Aphrodite: Les Folies Tour, with tickets going on sale Oct. 2.
This year has already been massive for the icon, who nabbed the Global Icon Award at the BRITs and won a Grammy for Best Pop Dance Recording for “Padam Padam.” She also wrapped up her Las Vegas residency and headlined London’s BST Hyde Park to rave reviews.

5 Things We Want From Lady Gaga’s Next Studio Album: Critic’s Take
So when Mother Monster announced earlier this week that she would be dropping a surprise album on Friday (Sept. 27) titled Harlequin, theories began flying around the fandom of what they might get to hear. Some believed that the project would act as a soundtrack to her upcoming film Joker: Folie à Deux; some believed the LP would serve as a transitional project akin to her Cheek to Cheek era; more still thought “LG 6.5” might see Gaga return to the dark pop glory of early projects like The Fame Monster and Born This Way.
But now that Harlequin is here (via Lil Monsters LLC & Interscope), we can confidently say that … well, everyone was a little bit right. The new Gaga album is equal parts Joker companion piece and covers of classic showtunes and pop standards, with a pair of original songs Gaga wrote specifically for the album to round the whole thing out. Employing her ever-impressive voice, Gaga manages to take each of these beloved songs and morph them into her own vision for a Harley Quinn-inspired romp.
For those thinking that Harlequin will simply retread the heights of Gaga’s jazz duets with Tony Bennett, fear not; throughout each of the album’s 13 tracks, the singer carefully shapes each song to fit the chaotic musical world of Joker: Folie à Deux. Spanning genres and styles, Gaga manages to turn even some of the most beloved pop classics in American culture into fresh reincarnations.
While we continue to revel in the anarchic delights of this album between albums, here is Billboard‘s preliminary ranking of all 13 songs on Lady Gaga’s Harlequin:
Country superstar Luke Bryan has officially dropped his eighth studio album Mind of a Country Boy, available everywhere today, Sept. 27.
The new release marks Bryan’s return to the album circuit after four years, and fans can expect a collection of 14 tracks that dive deep into the themes of family, music, and the simple country life Bryan embodies.
Reuniting with longtime producers Jeff and Jody Stevens, Mind of a Country Boy offers a mix of reflective ballads and feel-good anthems.
Fans have already gotten a taste of the project with the single “Closing Time in California,” which dropped last month.
“I’ve been able to take my time and really compile songs for this album,” Bryan previously said in a statement.
“If it’s a song that I cut two or three years ago, and I still love it, and it still sounds fresh, then I feel like it’ll stand the test of time.
“I think this album, as I’ve tried to do with all my albums, just has a little bit of everything,” he continued. “I do some things different vocally on this one that I’ve not done before. It’s about each song having its place and having its meaning. It’s trying not to be overly redundant with songs. I think that’s why I’ve been blessed to have a long career and what I feel like this album’s going to do.”
In addition to his headlining shows and his Farm Tour, Bryan is set to continue his role as an American Idol judge (alongside incoming judge, fellow country artist Carrie Underwood), while his Crash My Playa destination concert in Mexico will celebrate its 10th year in 2025 with performances from Jason Aldean, Kane Brown and more.

The track opens with a melodic pinging beat and anthemic sound effects as the Fleetwood Mac frontwoman sings softly, “I have my scars, you have yours/ Don’t let them, take your power.”
As the song intensifies and eventually devolves into an explosive rock n’ roll head-banger, Nicks encourages women to “stand up and take it back” in reference to women’s rights, specifically abortion access. “They’ll take your soul they’ll take your power/ Unless you save it,” she belts. “And that’s that/ Unless you stand up and take it back.”
Nicks also dropped a music video for “The Lighthouse,” which finds her singing passionately inside the lantern room of an actual lighthouse looking out onto stormy seas. It also splices in photos taken from women’s rights marches.
In a statement about the song, Nicks revealed that she “wrote this song a few months after Roe v. Wade was overturned” in June 2022. “It seemed like overnight, people were saying, ‘What can we, as a collective force, do about this…,’” she continued in her note. “For me, it was to write a song.”
“I have often said to myself, ‘This may be the most important thing I ever do,’” Nicks added. “To stand up for the women of the United States and their daughters and granddaughters ~ and the men that love them. This is an anthem.”
