Jeezy will ‘take you on a journey’ in his 2026 Las Vegas residency, ‘The Legend of the Snowman’

March 20, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Jeezy played four shows in Sin City in late 2025, and now he’s headed back to Las Vegas. He has announced a 10-date residency, The Legend of the Snowman, marking his return to PH Live at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino.

He shared the news Wednesday night at the Vibes & Views series, hosted by PopViewers founder and CEO Chris Witherspoon, unveiling a trailer that has since been posted to his Instagram.

Speaking to ABC Audio, Jeezy says the experience will once again be produced by Adam Blackstone. “He’s producing the show with me. Derrick [Hodge] is doing all the music, and The Color of Noize will be back, so we doing that. We spinning the block,” he said. The event will also remain a black-tie affair.

Some things, however, have changed for this run, including the theme, which will now be centered on The Legend of the Snowman. It will also celebrate his full career, rather than just the 20th anniversary of his debut album, Let’s Get It: Thug Motivation 101.

“I’m gonna take you on a journey. So if you’ve been riding with me since day one or just started riding with me yesterday, we gonna go from front to back, back to front. So everything you’ve experienced for two decades will be a part of the show,” he said. “This is The Legend of the Snowman, so it’s gonna go through the whole discography. It’s not gonna just be based on one album.”

The Legend of the Snowman residency kicks off May 1. A presale is underway using the code SNOWMAN. A general sale starts Monday at noon ET via Ticketmaster and Jeezy’s website.

Here’s your chance to hear Maynard James Keenan quote The Great Cornholio on Puscifer’s tour

March 20, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Puscifer will launch a U.S. tour Friday in Las Vegas in support of their new album, Normal Isn’t. The band previously debuted the record live for their Live at the Pacific Stock Exchange concert film, which gave frontman Maynard James Keenan a good idea on how to bring the new material to life onstage.

“I think they translated very well live,” Keenan tells ABC Audio. “It’s gonna be a great tour, ’cause we’ll be putting in older songs with the newer songs, and I think … it will dovetail.”

Catching the tour will also provide the opportunity to hear Kennan sing the word “bunghole” in person, as he does on the Normal Isn’t song “Self Evident.” As for why he felt the need to channel The Great Cornholio, the answer is simple.

“I was avoiding, like, the obvious big words you have to bleep out,” Keenan says. “And I thought, ‘Well, bunghole works better than a******.'”

Prior to releasing Normal Isn’t, Puscifer spent 2024 and 2025 on the Sessanta tour, which celebrated Keenan’s 60th birthday. The bill also included fellow Keenan-fronted band A Perfect Circle, as well as Primus.

As for whether a Settanta tour is in the works for Keenan’s 70th birthday in 2034, luckily it sounds like we won’t have to wait that long.

“I’m sure we’ll do one before then, having talked to everybody,” Keenan says. “A Perfect Circle needs some new music, and I think Primus is working on a new album, so it would make more sense to have newer songs on that tour.”

Posters signed by Roger Daltrey, Jimmy Page & more to benefit Teenage Cancer Trust

March 20, 2026 by WDNY Radio

The Who has revealed a new set of special autographed posters to raise money for Teenage Cancer Trust.

The posters all celebrate the annual Teenage Cancer Trust shows at London’s Royal Albert Hall, with the latest batch of limited-edition prints signed by The Who’s Roger Daltrey, Paul McCartney, Jimmy Page and more.

The black-and-white signed Daltrey poster is from The Who’s 2017 performance of Tommy, with the artwork designed by Josh Townshend, nephew of Pete Townshend. Page’s poster is from his February 2002 Royal Albert Hall appearance, where he played “Dazed and Confused” with Paul Weller.

He says of his poster, “I was totally dazzled by the artwork that had been created by illustrator Matt Glasby. I enthusiastically completed the signing for such a worthy and well-respected cause.”

Proceeds from the sale of the posters go directly to Teenage Cancer Trust, which helps young people in the U.K. battling cancer. The posters are currently available at shop.teenagecancertrust.org.

The annual Teenage Cancer Trust shows at Royal Albert Hall take place March 23-29. While Daltrey, a patron of the charity, curated the shows for 24 years, he retired from the gig in 2024. This year’s performances were curated by The Cure’s Robert Smith and feature Garbage, My Bloody Valentine and Wolf Alice.

‘When Calls the Heart’ prequel ‘Hope Valley: 1874’ is an ‘a little bit of an escape,’ says star

March 20, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Hope Valley: 1874, the prequel series to When Calls the Heart, premieres Saturday on Hallmark+, and star Jill Hennessy thinks it provides “a little bit of an escape.”

Hope Valley: 1874 follows Rebecca Clarke and her daughter, who settle in a Western Canadian frontier town where Hennessy’s character, Hattie Quinn, runs the trading post. “She’s sort of the go-between and the hub of all these people,” Hennessy tells ABC Audio of Hattie, who’s a widow and single mother.

“She’s sorta used to living on her own, but deeply afraid of her daughter moving off, trying not to confront how scared she is: ‘Oh my gosh, but what will I do when she leaves me?'”

Hennessy says Hope Valley will please When Calls the Heart fans aka Hearties, while offering some key differences.

“In this show, I think they’re gonna get all of the warmth and the romance aspect, in a structure, though, that goes a little broader, can be a little darker, a little more gritty,” she explains.

She adds that the series has “a lot of focus on women’s relationships, and women and men in a friendship/survival kind of way, where there’s no competition, there’s no bitterness, and people are just trying to make it through the day.”

Hennessy, a veteran of shows like Law & Order, Crossing Jordan and Yellowstone, says there’s a “sweetness” to Hope Valley, which she says is “so nice to go to … with everything that’s happening in the world.”

“Even as an actor … it’s kind of nice to get there, and put on the petticoat and the corset, and work with nice people,” she adds. “This is just one of the nicest casts. It is very appealing. It’s a nice — how can I say? — a little bit of an escape.”
