David Lee Roth makes surprise Coachella appearance with Teddy Swims

April 11, 2026 by WDNY Radio

David Lee Roth made a surprise appearance at Coachella Friday, turning up during pop star Teddy Swims’ afternoon set.

After Swims finished his song “Mr. Know It All,” the sound of a doorbell chimed, and Swims told the crowd, “I’ll get it. I wonder who it could be this time.” Swims then opened the door to Roth, shouting, “Oh my god it’s David Lee Roth from the best f****** band of all time, Van Halen.”

The pair then joined forces to perform Van Halen’s #1 song “Jump,” from their album 1984. Roth was all smiles during the performance, and towards the end of the song he even took a triumphant strut down the catwalk while twirling his mic stand. Once the song was over he left the stage through the same door he entered through.

“Touchdown, Coachella,” Roth later wrote on Instagram next to a picture of him hugging Swims on stage.

Roth was one of three guests Swims brought out for his Coachella set. He was also joined by Joe Jonas and Vanessa Carlton.

Roth is set to kick off a new tour on April 16 in Airway Heights, Washington, with dates confirmed through June 20 in Milwaukee. He’s also performing at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in Sturgis, South Dakota, on Aug. 7. A complete list of dates can be found at DavidLeeRoth.com.

April 10, 2026 by WDNY Radio

As Violet Grohl prepares to release her debut album, Be Sweet to Me, she’s very aware that her father is one of the biggest names in rock music.

“Obviously, doors are open for me because of my last name,” the daughter of Dave Grohl tells The Forty-Five. “It’s not something I’m ever going to hide behind or say, ‘No, I worked so hard for this! You guys shouldn’t say that! That hurts my feelings.’ I don’t care – I really don’t.”

“I’ve heard that since I was 13 years old,” Violet continues. “So call me a Nepo Baby all you want. It’s ‘whatever’ to me. I just hope that eventually people will give me a shot.”

If you have any doubts about Violet’s musical talent, she simply advises you to listen to her album or see her perform.

“Come see me live,” she says. “Come listen to my music and then you can decide for yourself if I’m worthy of this career or not.”

Be Sweet to Me is due out May 29. Violet will be playing England’s Reading & Leeds in August and the Shaky Knees Festival in Atlanta in September.

April 10, 2026 by WDNY Radio

If you want to get to know Ella Langley better, she says all you need to do is listen to her much-anticipated second album, which is out now.

“Dandelion is a natural next phase after hungover,” she says, referencing her debut album. “hungover is what brought people to the table, and Dandelion is what makes them sit down and eat.”

“This album explains who I am as an artist and as a person,” she continues. “It reflects on what made me this way while giving a glimpse of what’s next. It’s my favorite project I’ve ever done, it’s the most ‘me’ I’ve ever put out.”

The 18-track record is bookended by Ella’s version of the folk song “Froggy Went A Courtin’,” one of the first songs she remembers, and one her grandfather taught her.

She co-produced the album along with Ben West and Miranda Lambert, the album’s only guest on “Butterfly Season.”

Miranda also co-wrote the Platinum-selling “Choosin’ Texas,” which is currently spending its fifth record-setting week atop Billboard‘s all-genre Hot 100.

Ella kicks off The Dandelion Tour May 7 in Toledo, Ohio, her first time headlining arenas.
