Miley Cyrus sings as Hannah Montana in 20th anniversary special official trailer

March 17, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Get the limo out front, because the Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary official trailer has arrived.

Disney+ and Hulu have shared the official trailer for the anniversary special, which is set to debut on March 24 — 20 years to the day that the original series premiered on the Disney Channel in 2006.

The trailer starts with Miley Cyrus pulling up to a Disney soundstage wearing her signature blonde Hannah Montana wig.

“Good to be home,” she says as the show’s iconic theme song, “The Best of Both Worlds,” begins to play.

We see clips of Cyrus on stage performing as Hannah, visiting recreations of the sitcom’s sets and being interviewed by Call Her Daddy host Alex Cooper.

“What Disney boy did you have the biggest crush on at the time?” Cooper asks, to which Cyrus responds, “Get the tea kettle.”

The trailer also includes a snippet of Cyrus performing “The Climb” while in costume as Hannah. During the emotional song, we see Cyrus interact with her mom and dad, Tish Cyrus-Purcell and Billy Ray Cyrus.

“I love being Hannah. I love being Miley Cyrus. You really taught me how to be who I am,” Cyrus tells her mom. Later, we see her hug her father on the set of the Stewart family’s living room.

“Love you,” she tells him, before he responds, “Best of both worlds.”

“Hannah Montana will always be a part of who I am. What started as a TV show became a shared experience that shaped my life and the lives of so many fans, and I’ll always be thankful for that connection,” Cyrus said in a press release back in February.

“The fact that it still means so much to people all these years later is something I’m very proud of.”

March 17, 2026 by WDNY Radio

JAŸ-Z is headlining the 2026 Roots Picnic, taking place May 30 and May 31 at a new location in Philadelphia: Belmont Plateau.

He’ll be taking the stage on May 30, closing out the night alongside The Roots. The performance will celebrate the 30th anniversary of his debut album, Reasonable Doubt.

“Moving the Roots Picnic to Belmont Plateau and bringing JAŸ-Z and The Roots together to perform are both bucket-list moments for us,” Roots manager and Live Nation Urban President Shawn Gee said in a statement.

“After meeting with Mayor Cherelle Parker and hearing her vision for Philadelphia 250, she truly inspired us to dream even bigger, and we’re grateful to her, Commissioner Susan Slawson, Jazelle Jones and everyone who helped make it happen. We can’t wait to see everyone in May at the Plat.”

The Roots gig will be Hov’s first live performance since he popped up as a guest during one of wife Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter tour shows in Paris. His last festival performance was in 2019, when he surprised fans at Pharrell’s Something in the Water festival.

Hov’s set will also mark his reunion with The Roots, who backed him for his 2001 MTV Unplugged special and for his 10th anniversary concert for Reasonable Doubt in 2006.

Presale tickets for the Roots Picnic are now available using the code ROOTS26. Tickets then go on sale to the general public Wednesday at 10 a.m. ET.

More artists will be announced at a later date.

It remains to be seen how else Hov plans to celebrate 30 years of his debut album.

March 17, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Heart’s Ann Wilson will be hitting the road to support her upcoming documentary, In My Voice.

The singer will headline a 10-city screening and Q&A tour with the film’s director Barbara Hall. The tour kicks off May 11 in Seattle and will hit Vancouver, Chicago, Cleveland, Nashville, New York, Toronto and more, before wrapping June 1 in Boston.

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

“What an honor to tell the story of one of our greatest rock music voices of all time,” adds Hall. “Her voice notwithstanding, her story exceeds a scriptwriter’s imagination, and her courage to share her story is inspiring.”

The film follows the 75-year-old Wilson from her childhood to stardom in Heart and features personal home movies, photographs, journals and never-before-seen footage. It also includes contributions from the singer’s family, bandmates, fellow artists and more.

Trent Reznor clarifies comments on future Nine Inch Nails touring plans

March 17, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Trent Reznor has clarified his comments regarding Nine Inch Nails’ future touring plans.

As previously reported, Reznor told the crowd at a show in February in Tulsa, Oklahoma, “I don’t know if we’re gonna be touring anymore after this.”

At NIN’s concert in Sacramento, California, on Monday, Reznor explained that his initial comments were referring specifically to the band’s Peel It Back tour and not Nine Inch Nails altogether.

“What I said was, this is the last show of this tour,” Reznor said, as seen in fan-shot video. “We don’t have any shows booked, and we don’t have any plans to book any shows any time in the future so far.”

“That doesn’t mean we may not tour again, we may tour again,” he continued. “I never said we were intentionally stopping, and I never meant that.”

Reznor also said that new Nine Inch Nails music is in the works.

The Sacramento show marked the last concert on the Peel It Back tour. Their only other scheduled upcoming show is a set at Coachella in April alongside collaborator Boys Noize.

Lance Bass to publish second children’s book, ‘The Legend of Mrs. Claws’

March 17, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Lance Bass published his debut children’s book, Trick or Treat on Scary Street, in 2024. He’s set to follow that with a second holiday-themed book, due out in September.

The Legend of Mrs. Claws is about a black cat who first appeared in Trick or Treat on Scary Street. On Instagram, Lance writes that the cat was “trying VERY hard to be scary… but mostly just causing chaos.”

“My kids immediately fell in love with her, and I started wondering what happens to a Halloween misfit once October is over,” he continues. “Well apparently… she sneaks onto Santa’s sleigh. Can’t wait for y’all to dive back into this world with me and meet this mischievous little stowaway.”

As Lance writes, “What if Mrs. Claws… was actually Santa’s cat?”

In an interview with People, Lance talks about the appeal of the character. “She’s a character who doesn’t quite fit the mold, and I think a lot of us can relate to that,” he notes. “It’s a reminder that sometimes the things that make us a little different — or the moments we think we got wrong — can end up leading us exactly where we belong.”

The book is out Sept. 29 and is now available for preorder.

Chris Young’s building a spot for his Famous Friends in Nashville

March 17, 2026 by WDNY Radio

When Chris Young opens his Famous Friends sports bar sometime this summer in Music City, it won’t be downtown on Lower Broadway, where most of the other stars’ watering holes are.

Instead, it’ll be at a spot that’s close to his heart: midtown Nashville.

“Demonbreun [Street] is definitely a place that I spent a lot of time,” Chris explains. “I lived over there for a while, and so, I’ve seen it change so much. I’ve walked up and down that street going to and from writes a billion times. I’ve seen people on their way up as artists playing in a lot of those spots over there and they’ve changed a lot over the years.”

It’s a spot that’s also inspired plenty of stories.

“This is a place that I’ve got a lot of great memories [of],” Chris says. “Me and Shay Mooney from Dan + Shay singing at the top of our lungs in some of those places for no reason whatsoever — little memories like that that I think are important.”

“And I think that that street’s always been very important to Nashville,” he adds. “You know, being able to create another spot there, and hopefully a spot that people love and love to go to. Hopefully people will remember it for a long time.”

Famous Friends will be located at 1516A Demonbreun Street, near Tin Roof.

What’s Jenny’s number? ‘867-5309’ will now get you cancer care

March 17, 2026 by WDNY Radio

You’ve probably seen those TikToks where people go around their offices, ask co-workers what year they were born, and then ask them what Jenny’s number is. The answer, of course, is “867-5309,” the title of the 1982 top-5 hit by the band Tommy Tutone. But now, pop music’s most famous phone number is being put to good use.

The nonprofit Cancer Support Community, along with Gilda’s Club locations, has taken over the number, with full endorsement from the band. Now, anyone impacted by cancer who calls CSC-867-5309 will receive support, information and personalized guidance from trained specialists.

“I gave a ‘yes’ as soon as they asked me, because we’ve all got to give back sometimes,” says Tommy Tutone lead singer Tommy Heath, whose own family has been impacted by cancer. Heath, who’s still touring and recording new music, tells ABC Audio that he’s continually amazed at the ongoing popularity of the tune.

“Everybody knows that song,” says Heath, 78. “It’s the number three password in the world. It’s the number girls give the guys that don’t want to give them their real number … I think every young person knows what it is.”

He laughs, “I don’t know why [the ’80s] resonates so well. … Several people told me that it was the high point of Western civilization!”

There are varying accounts of what inspired the song, but Heath swears there’s a real Jenny, and 867-5309 was her parents’ number. “I speak to her once in a while. We joke about having a reality show about what really happened,” he says.

“But I remember introducing her to my wife and saying, ‘This is Jenny,'” he recalls. “And [she goes], ‘Hi, Jenny.’ And I go, “No, this is JENNY!”

‘The Grateful Dead Movie’ soundtrack getting first-ever vinyl release

March 17, 2026 by WDNY Radio

The soundtrack to Grateful Dead’s 1977 concert documentary, The Grateful Dead Movie, is getting its first-ever vinyl release.

The fully restored soundtrack is being released as a 10-LP set featuring performances of such Dead songs as “Playing in the Band,” “The Other One,” “Scarlet Begonias,” “Casey Jones,” “Dark Star” and more.

The film, one of only two directed by late Dead founder Jerry Garcia, is a recording of the band’s five-night stand at San Francisco’s Winterland Ballroom in October 1974, which at the time was believed to be their final set of shows. The run also saw the return of drummer Mickey Hart, who had left the band in 1971.

The new set, being released by Mondo in partnership with Rhino Records, is not only the first time the soundtrack is being released on vinyl, but the first time it’s been available in any format since 2005. It is pressed on colored, audiophile quality vinyl and will feature all 44 songs that appeared on the original CD release. It comes with 42-page book with rare and previously unseen photos and an essay by Dead historian Nicholas G. Meriwether.

“Widely considered one of the greatest runs of shows in the Grateful Dead’s history, October 1974 at the Winterland featured inspired, exciting and out-of-this-world playing,” says Grateful Dead archivist David Lemieux. “We’re proud to partner with Mondo for a vinyl release that celebrates and preserves this essential document of the band’s legacy.”

The Grateful Dead Movie box set is limited to just 3,000 individually numbered units and is available for preorder now; shipping is expected in May.
