The Angels have released a commemorative video for “Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again” to mark the 50th anniversary of the song that has become one of the most recognisable recordings in Australian rock history, as the band prepares for a national anniversary tour spanning more than 25 dates.

The clip, assembled by founding guitarist Rick Brewster, features all of the vocalists who have fronted the band across its five-decade career. It arrives as the group heads out on the Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again… 50 Years On national tour, which opens at Coolangatta’s Cooly Rocks on June 4 and runs through to Hindley Street Music Hall in Adelaide on November 6.

Written by Doc Neeson, John Brewster and Rick Brewster, the song was originally recorded in March 1976 and released as the band’s debut single, produced by Harry Vanda and George Young of The Easybeats.

It was conceived as an acoustic ballad; Neeson later revealed its lyrics were inspired by grief following the death of the girlfriend of the band’s first manager, John Woodruff, in a motorcycle accident. The original release reached No. 58 on the Australian charts and remained on the chart for 19 weeks. A live version released in 1988 — capturing the audience chant that had by then become inseparable from the song — reached No. 11 on the Kent Music Report and introduced the phenomenon to a broader audience.

The song’s cultural reach has only grown. It ranked No. 11 in Triple M’s Ozzest 100 countdown in 2018 and placed No. 12 in triple j’s Hottest 100 Australian Songs poll in 2025, making it the oldest song in that year’s top 40.

Metallica, Keith Urban and Jelly Roll all performed it during Australian tours in 2025, and covers have come from Dune Rats, Ruby Fields and Baby Shakes.

For John Brewster, the anniversary carries personal weight. “Fifty years on, the song still has so much meaning for us,” he told Noise 11. “When we play the song, we’re thinking about all the people we’ve lost, like Doc and Chris Bailey. And all the people that we’ve played with over the years — the roadies, the tour managers, the record company people, our friends and, of course, all the fans.”

Mick Jagger has said he “can’t wait” to take The Rolling Stones back on the road, though fans shouldn’t expect an imminent announcement.

Speaking on BBC Radio 2’s Tracks of My Years alongside Ronnie Wood, Jagger was asked whether the Stones would ever tour again. “I’d love to go on tour, I can’t wait,” he said, before tempering expectations. “I don’t think it’s going to be this year. But hopefully it’s going to be as soon as possible.”

The comments come after the band scrapped plans for a U.K. and European stadium tour in 2026 in late 2025, with reports that Keith Richards was unable to “commit” to the run. Richards has since hinted at a potential return to the road in 2027, and Jagger’s latest remarks add weight to that possibility.

The interview arrives ahead of the band’s 25th studio album Foreign Tongues, due July 10 via Polydor/Universal Music. The record was made in less than a month at Metropolis Studios in West London with producer Andrew Watt — who also helmed 2024’s Hackney Diamonds — and features guest appearances from Paul McCartney, The Cure‘s Robert Smith, Steve Winwood and the late Charlie Watts.

Jagger revealed the Robert Smith collaboration came about by chance at an industry event. “He was standing there with his back to me and this long gown on and when he turned around, he was covered in lipstick,” Jagger said. “And I said, ‘You’re Robert Smith of The Cure.’ He said, ‘Yeah, we’ve never met.’ And I said, ‘While you’re here, you better go and do something.’ That’s how collaborations work sometimes.”

McCartney, who also appeared on Hackney Diamonds, spoke to NME about his contribution, calling it “really exciting.” “It was really nice to just show up at a studio with your bass and just say, ‘Right, where do you want me?’” he said. “You start playing, and they show you the song, and I start thinking, ‘I’m playing with the Stones!’”

Foreign Tongues includes previously released tracks “Rough and Twisted” and “In the Stars,” as well as a cover of the late Amy Winehouse‘s “You Know I’m No Good.” The full tracklist was revealed earlier this month with song titles appearing on streaming devices listed in various foreign languages.

Hackney Diamonds debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 in 2024 — the band’s highest chart position in the U.S. since Voodoo Lounge reached No. 2 in 1994.

Massive Attack will return to Australia for their first headline shows since 2010, with three arena dates confirmed for August in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.

The Bristol collective — led by Robert “3D” Del Naja and Grant “Daddy G” Marshall — will play Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Aug. 6, Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney on Aug. 9 and Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on Aug. 11. The shows are presented by Frontier Touring and mark the band’s first Australian dates in 16 years. Frontier Members presale opens Thursday, June 4 at 2 p.m. local time, with general on sale from Friday, June 5 at 3 p.m. local time via frontiertouring.com/massiveattack.

The announcement arrives alongside a newly released collaboration with Tom Waits, “Boots on the Ground,” the first new Massive Attack material in some time and a clear signal that the group remains artistically active more than three decades after forming as part of Bristol’s Wild Bunch sound system collective.

Few bands carry Massive Attack’s weight of influence. Their 1991 debut Blue Lines — frequently cited as the record that invented trip-hop — peaked at No. 13 on the UK Albums Chart and has since been named one of Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. Their third album Mezzanine (1998) topped the UK Albums Chart and produced “Teardrop,” which later became globally recognisable as the theme for the American television drama House, and “Angel,” both now considered landmark recordings of the era. Mezzanine peaked at No. 60 on the Billboard 200 — their strongest U.S. chart showing — and has sold more than 3.5 million copies worldwide. Their fourth album 100th Window (2003) also topped the UK Albums Chart, giving the collective two U.K. No. 1 albums. Heligoland, their fifth and most recent studio album, followed in 2010 — the same year as their last Australian visit — and debuted at No. 2 on the UK Albums Chart.

Massive Attack’s live shows have long been considered some of the most visually and sonically immersive experiences in music, incorporating large-scale political messaging, bespoke audio-visual systems and collaborations with artists including Adam Curtis, United Visual Artists and Robert Del Naja’s own visual art practice.

Drake’s ICEMAN holds atop the Billboard 200 albums chart (dated June 6) for a second week, earning 225,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending May 28 (down 52%), according to Luminate.

The set bowed at No. 1 a week ago, alongside two more Drake projects, HABIBTI and MAID OF HONOUR, as he became the first artist ever to rank at Nos. 1, 2 and 3 simultaneously in the chart’s 70-year history. They fall 2-7 (53,000 units, down 53%) and 3-8 (42,000, down 62%), respectively, in their second week.

Also in the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200, LE SSERAFIM notches its fifth top 10 as PUREFLOW debuts at No. 10.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 2,500 ad-supported or 1,000 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new June 6, 2026-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on June 2. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X and Instagram.

Of ICEMAN’s 225,000 equivalent album units earned in the latest tracking week, SEA units comprise 223,000 (down 50%, equaling 228.45 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks; it spends a second week at No. 1 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 1,000 (down 90%) and TEA units comprise 1,000 (down 59%).

Of Drake’s 15 Billboard 200 No. 1s — tied for the most among soloists with Taylor Swift — ICEMAN is his sixth to lead for multiple weeks.

The rest of the top five on the new Billboard 200 are all former No. 1s. Ella Langley’s Dandelion rises 5-2 (93,000 equivalent album units, down 5%); Noah Kahan’s The Great Divide climbs 4-3 (85,000, down 16%); Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem ascends 6-4 (80,000, down 6%); and Michael Jackson’s Thriller is up 7-5 (64,000, up 3%).

Jackson’s Number Ones bumps 8-6 (60,000 equivalent album units earned, down less than 1%), while BTS’ former No. 1 ARIRANG steps 10-9 with just more than 41,000 (down 1%).

LE SSERAFIM rounds out the top 10, notching its fifth top 10-charted project as PUREFLOW debuts at No. 10 with 41,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, album sales comprise 34,000 (it debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 7,000 (equaling 7.1 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks) and TEA units comprise the remainder. The album’s first-week sales were boosted by its availability across more than 30 CD variants, many containing collectible items such as photocards, stickers and posters, with some items randomized.
