Nash will return to the road from early July to August, playing Iowa City, Kansas City, Madison, Rochester, Knoxville, and Alexandria, among other locales.

This film is my story in my own words, told the way I've always wanted to tell it. It's about finding my voice, keeping it alive, and sharing the journey with the people who've been part of it all along.

Djo has announced a handful of headlining US tour dates for this summer. The new shows take place in between Djo's previously announced dates opening for Tame Impala, which commence on July 6th in Miami. His headlining tour will kick off on July 14th in Pittsburgh, followed by a return to New York's Forest Hills Stadium on July 17th.

The new dates arrive in and around Dacus' summer festival appearances, which include sets at Winnipeg Folk Festival, Ottawa Bluesfest, Minnesota Yacht Club, and San Francisco's Outside Lands. The run also follows her previously-announced West Coast run in May, where she'll play shows in Vancouver, Sacramento, Salt Lake City (for Kilby Block Party), and more.

Every time we try to write something that's completely straightforward, we can't help adding an element which comes out of left field. We always want to write a song we've never heard before.

The Feelies don't really tour, and it's even rarer to find them playing outside of the East Coast. Fans fly from all over the world to their shows, which are usually marathon sets that include lots of covers alongside their own classics.

British pop and soul star Sam Smith is back on the road in 2026 with a series of concerts and a special residency run, marking one of the year's most anticipated live music events. After a run of shows in late 2025 that included an extended 'To Be Free' residency in Brooklyn, Smith has expanded their performance schedule into February and March 2026 with a residency at San Francisco's historic Castro Theatre - part of the venue's grand reopening.

The staff of Pitchfork listens to a lot of new music. A lot of it. On any given day our writers, editors, and contributors go through an imposing number of new releases, giving recommendations to each other and discovering new favorites along the way. Each Monday, with our Pitchfork Selects playlist, we're sharing what our writers are playing obsessively and highlighting some of the Pitchfork staff's favorite new music.

The Recording Academy has announced that this Sunday's Grammy Awards will feature Ms. Lauryn Hill performing during the "In Memoriam" segment in honor of the late D'Angelo and Roberta Flack. Elsewhere, Post Malone, Slash, Duff McKagan, and Chad Smith will pay tribute to the late Ozzy Osbourne, and Reba McEntire will be joined by Brandy Clark and Lukas Nelson to honor "some of the musical icons" who passed away in the last year.

With so much good music being released all the time, it can be hard to determine what to listen to first.

The highly impressive group reflects the current state of jazz, where both young guns and veterans are combining to bring the music to a new swell of fans. To talk about the present state of jazz, The Times brought together 26-year-old Joy and 75-year-old Bridgewater. What followed is an incredible conversation on politics, race, equality and mutual fandom. You both have had Grammy success.

James Taylor has announced a 29-date 2026 tour with his All-Star band.

Along the way, he'll play shows in San Diego, Santa Barbara, Las Vegas, Atlantic City, Boston, Atlanta, and elsewhere. Check out the full list of tour dates below.

The album, he added, "changed our lives. It put us on a map. It gave us a new, broad audience of people that found something in it that they connected with. People have grown up with this record, right alongside us growing up, and I feel like it's important to celebrate it. It's important to acknowledge to people that we appreciate that, despite the obvious commerce involved."

That was the case - by all accounts - regarding our summer tour last year with Spin Doctors and Gin Blossoms. We grew up with Spin Doctors as pups in the same litter... ours is a shared origin story. But working with Gin Blossoms was a first. Their music was everywhere when we were coming up, and yet only last summer did we have the opportunity to learn how fun it is playing with them - and to discover how much energy our three bands put out in combination.

Last year, WU LYF made a comeback after more than a decade. The British band shared their first single in 14 years, " A New Life Is Coming," and played limited runs of shows in London and their native Manchester. Now, Ellery James Roberts & co. are back with another new song. Produced by Sonic Boom, the 11-minute " Tib St. Tabernacle" is available to stream on Bandcamp and WU LYF's website. Listen to it below.
