The Rolling Stones have found a new way to make their fans look cool.
The legendary band has teamed with Revo, makers of high-performance polarized eyewear, for a new line of glasses.
The Rolling Stones x Revo collection features nine designs, each named after one of the band’s songs, including “Shine a Light,” “Start Me Up” and “Gimme Shelter.” The glasses are modeled after the band’s iconic style, with the company taking inspiration from archival photos and reimagining the group’s style “through a modern lens.”
Helping to get the message out about the new collaboration is Lucas Jagger, son of Stones frontman Mick Jagger andBrazilian model Luciana Gimenez, who appears in the ad campaign for the collection.
“The Rolling Stones x Revo collaboration isn’t just eyewear. It’s a wearable tribute to one of the greatest bands of all time,” said Cliff Robinson, CEO of Revo. “The Rolling Stones have inspired generations, and their music and style continue to resonate across ages. This collection lets us celebrate that enduring influence in a way fans of all eras can experience and wear.”
The collection, which ranges in price from $249 to $659, is available now at RollingStones.com, the Stones’ London store RS No. 9 Carnaby, Revo.com, Revo’s New York store and more.
KISS just released a 50th anniversary deluxe edition of their third studio album, Dressed to Kill, and in a message to fans, honored their late bandmate Ace Frehley, who passed away Oct. 16.
“Just over a week ago we lost one of the greatest and most influential guitarists of all time, Ace Frehley, leaving behind a legacy that has reshaped rock forever,” read a post on Instagram. “As we honor his memory, we’re sharing something fans have long anticipated since it was first teased. The Dressed to Kill 50th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition is here, celebrating an album that has become a cornerstone of KISStory.”
They add, “Play it loud. For Ace, for the music and for 50 years of rock history.”
The deluxe edition features 107 songs, including 78 previously unreleased tracks, and two concerts from the 1975 Dressed to Kill tour. The Blu-ray includes various mixes of the record, including a new Dolby Atmos mix, as well as 1975 promo videos for “C’mon And Love Me” and “Rock And Roll All Nite.”
The set also includes a 100-page hardcover book, featuring interviews with KISS’ Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons, rare unreleased photos and more.
The reissue is available now digitally, as a five-CD + Blu-ray or eight-LP + Blu-ray set, and on premium color vinyl, limited to 3,000 copies. A deluxe picture disc will also be out Nov. 21.
Released March 19, 1975, Dressed to Kill became a top-40 hit for the band and was certified Gold. It featured what would become one of their signature tunes, “Rock and Roll All Nite,” although it wasn’t a hit when first released. A live version, released off KISS’ 1975 album, Alive!, eventually went to #12 on the charts.

It seems that Christmas season comes earlier and earlier each year, but it doesn’t officially start until Mariah Carey says it’s time. And as she made sure to point out on Tuesday, it’s not.
Mariah posted a montage of herself in different situations, saying, “Not yet,” “I said, ‘Not yet!'” and throwing in an “it’s not time yet” for good measure. And if that wasn’t abundantly clear, the caption on the Instagram post also reads “NOT YET!!!”
One commenter wrote, “Tell that to my wife, Mariah. She’s already singing it.” And by “it,” of course, he means Mariah’s holiday song — the title of which we’re not even going to utter at this time, because we’re going to hear quite enough of it in the next two months.
Just for reference, Mariah announced “It’s time” on Nov. 1 last year, so we’re close.
But despite it not being time yet, tickets for Mariah Carey’s Christmastime in Las Vegas, a show at Dolby Live at Park MGM, are on sale now. The show will run from Nov. 28 through Dec. 13. Plus, Mariah’s announced a series of pop-up holiday bars in select cities, serving festive cocktails and offering fans photo-worthy moments, exclusive merch and more.

Jackson Browne, Stephen Stills and The Killers‘ Brandon Flowers are among the artists performing at an upcoming benefit concert marking the one-year anniversary of the January 2025 Los Angeles wildfires, specifically the Eaton Fire that devastated the town of Altadena.
The show, dubbed A Concert for Altadena, takes place Jan. 7, 2026, at the Pasadena Civic Center in Pasadena, California. It’s being put on by the band Dawes, whose members were deeply affected by the fire. Dawes also opened the 2025 Grammys with a performance in honor of LA.
“It’s gonna be a heavy night but it’s going to be a beautiful one too,” Dawes say of A Concert for Altadena.
Other performers include Everclear, Jenny Lewis of Rilo Kiley and Mandy Moore. For more info, visit Dawes’ Instagram.
Cyndi Lauper is famous for her crazy and colorful style, both onstage and off. So it’s only fitting that an artist who’s known for that same thing be the one to induct her into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Chappell Roan will do the honors when the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony streams live on Disney+ on Nov. 8. Chappell says in an Instagram video, “She has inspired me with her fashion, her hair, of course her makeup, her music — I actually auditioned with ‘True Colors’ for America’s Got Talent when I was 13.”
Chappell laughs, “I didn’t make it, but the song is still incredible. I’m so excited, thank you for having me! Cyndi!”
In addition to their fashion sense, Chappell and Cyndi have something else in common: They’re both passionate about LGBTQ+ rights. For years, Cyndi’s True Colors Fund has provided aid and support for LGBTQ+ youth facing homelessness, and Chappell recently launched the Midwest Princess Project to provide resources for trans youth and LGBTQ+ communities.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony will also feature Teddy Swims, Olivia Rodrigo, Missy Elliott, Bryan Adams, Doja Cat, Brandi Carlile, Elton John and RAYE, plus many more. This year’s inductees include the late Joe Cocker, U.K. rockers Bad Company, Soundgarden, The White Stripes, Outkast and Salt-N-Pepa.

The U.K.’s poet laureate, Simon Armitage, has released a new poem inspired by Pink Floyd’s iconic album Wish You Were Here.
The poem, Dear Pink Floyd, is part of the band’s upcoming 50th anniversary reissue of the album, dropping Dec. 12. Armitage reads it in a new video posted to YouTube.
“I was thinking about the album and their noise, and what effect that has had on people right across the globe,” Armitage says of the poem. “I didn’t know whether I could put into words what that music sounded like. I only get involved with projects if I think I can’t do them, so this was a natural invitation.”
“I wanted to write something that was album-shaped, that would fit onto the side of an LP and bleed right to the margins of a square,” he adds. “I was trying to mimic the noise of Wish You Were Here – there are no gaps in it. Like a wall of warm sound. I wanted the text to be a physical manifestation of that.”
Finally, he notes, “There aren’t many artistic experiences in the form of noise that send shivers up my spine and make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. But when I put Wish You Were Here on as a record, and it begins, I get that feeling every single time.”
Wish You Were Here 50will be released in a variety of formats, including a digital release that features the original album mixed in Dolby Atmos. It will feature 25 bonus tracks, including six tracks that have never been released before.
The bonus material also includes 16 live bootleg recordings from a concert at the Los Angeles Sports Arena on April 26, 1975, which are getting their first-ever official release.

The Stray Cats have canceled their latest tour.
The band was supposed to kick off their a new tour on Oct. 25 in Mount Pleasant, Michigan, but canceled the first two dates due to frontman Brian Setzer suffering a “serious illness.” Now, they’ve scrapped the whole thing.
“I’m heartbroken to share, due to serious illness, I am unable to perform and very regrettably have to cancel our Stray Cats tour,” Setzer shared in a statement. “I know this affects so many people and I am devastated to have to deliver this news.”
He added, “I’ve been trying everything I can to go on and do these shows, but it is just not possible. I’ve been looking forward so much to being on stage with my band mates again and playing for all of our amazing fans, and I’m gutted.”
The tour was to feature original band members Setzer, Lee Rocker and Slim Jim Phantom, and would have been their first trek since February 2024. It was also supposed to be their first tour since Setzer’s announcement in February that he’d been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease and that one of the side effects was that he was no longer able to play guitar, although in September he shared video of him playing guitar again.
Ticketholders will get refunds at the point of purchase.
