It looks like the Smashing Pumpkins will be joining Guns N’ Roses for some upcoming tour dates. A band that certainly can tour in their own, but have also toured with the likes of Marilyn Manson, the Smashing Pumpkins are going to be quite the rock pairing with Guns N’ Roses...

Add one more show to your summer concert calendar. With already great live music announced for summer 2020 (really, is it summer yet?), the SPAC lineup just got even more stacked. Dead & Co. are coming back to SPAC this August.  I mean, it's not really a surprise since they do well and SPAC is a great venue for them, but still, I know I'm pretty excited about the announcement.  ...

Pearl Jam have announced a new tour with the Pixies- huge news right! Well, there's one major hitch. Initially when I saw the announcement, my heart skipped a beat.  I saw a headline by the New York Post and thought "oh my god yes, Pearl Jam, Pixies, I am THERE"...

The full lineup and tour dates for Motley Crue's 2020 "The Stadium Tour" have been announced.  And yes, they ARE coming to New York, and an additional artist was added to the already heavy lineup of Motley Crue, Def Leppard, and Poison...

Last night, Alice Cooper took on New York and rocked the Cool Insuring Arena.  Broadcasting live, we got the chance to see a lot, experience a lot, and I have to say, there were some pretty awesome things about the show (and NOT just Alice Cooper himself)...

Ghost came back to the Capital Region to set the tone for Halloween week with live music. The heavenly hellish rock band brought their "Ultimate Tour Named Death" tour to the Cool Insuring Arena in Glens Falls on Saturday.  It was actually the last stop of their North American tour, but the band didn't show any signs of being tired or worn out...

This past Friday night, the Capital Region got rocked back to 1999 with Incubus.  And I have to admit, I almost wanted to stay there. Incubus make a stop at the Palace Theatre for their current tour, celebrating 20 years of their pivotal album "Make Yourself"...

Well apparently there is still more coming out about the whole Woodstock 50 saga, even though August is coming to an end.  Including information about possible surprise headlining acts and drug preparedness. In a post by newyorkupstate...

Happy 50th Anniversary to Woodstock!  The festival, which kicked off August 15th, 1969, left its mark on the music world, and a legacy that remains unrivaled.  It wasn't about having the biggest names (because some of the biggest of that time didn't perform), it wasn't about the money (because it turned into a free show), it was about the music...

In a little over one month- on September 20th- Shinedown, Papa Roach, and Asking Alexandria will be taking over the Times Union Center.  As a huge Shinedown fan, I've seen them twice live, and each time they've come out as one of my favorite live shows...

Willie Nelson has had to cancel his current tour, via a twitter post. According to newyorkupstate.com, Nelson posted that he was going to be cancelling part of his your because of a breathing problem, requiring him to see a doctor.  The good news is he's expected to be back for back-to-back shows in Upstate New York according to the report...

It's the first summer in over two decades without a cross-country Vans Warped Tour.  The end of an era for fans looking for pop punk, alt rock, metalcore, and more all in one with a lifestyle and festival vibe thrown in.  It's also the first summer featuring the Inaugural Rockstar Disrupt Festival...
