Limp Bizkit’s Wes Borland announces new signature guitar with Jackson

May 27, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Limp Bizkit guitarist Wes Borland has announced a new signature guitar in collaboration with Jackson.

The Wes Borland King V is “crafted to [Borland’s] exact specifications and reflects his boundary-pushing approach to tone and performance,” a press release reads.

“It’s taking me a long time to figure out what I need as a guitar player. For me, you just need volume, pickups, locking tremolo system and 24 frets, that’s it,” Borland says. “Live, it just needs to be as bulletproof as possible. You know, I’ve been very rough with guitars over the years. I’ve come to realize that the more streamlined our guitars are, the less problems we have on stage.”

“Jackson is fun, the over the top, shred-a-copter shapes and my outrageous stage costumes pushing the boundaries, this fits in more with that,” he continues. “The way people dress, it affects how you behave, and I think it also changes how I play guitar.”

The guitar costs $1,299.99 and is available now via JacksonGuitars.com.

Limp Bizkit, meanwhile, is preparing to headline a number of upcoming U.S. festivals, including Rock Fest, Inkcarceration, Louder than Life and Aftershock.

6lack announces celebratory 10 Years of 6lack tour

May 27, 2026 by WDNY Radio

6lack is celebrating a decade in music with a new tour featuring special guests Eem Triplin and Johnny Venus. The run also marks the 10th anniversary of his debut album, Free 6lack.

“Ten years is amazing. A lot of folks don’t get to say that they’ve been doing something for 10 years,” 6lack tells ABC Audio. “That album stamped my introduction to a lot of people.”

He says the project — and the fans who discovered him through it — still remain close to his heart.

“Those songs still stand the test of time today,” he says. “The people who found me around that time are the people who still come to my shows now. It’s just been amazing to see how we’ve all grown.”

The tour, running Sept. 8 through Dec. 11, will highlight defining moments from his catalog while incorporating music from his newly released album, Love is the New Gangsta, which he recently previewed during an intimate show in New York.

According to 6lack, fans can expect his band by his side and a more immersive experience this time around, complete with glimpses of his production skills.

“I pride myself on having a really good live show,” he says. “I wanna kind of move around, have different stations and make it interactive show … turn the show into an experience that every night is not the same.”

As 6lack has watched fans grow over the years, he says they’ll also be able to see his evolution, particularly through Love is the New Gangsta.

“It’s nice to see someone grow in front of you so that we can all … collectively understand that we go through the same things,” he says, adding the album encourages people not to feel ashamed of mistakes, heartbreak or personal struggles.

An artist presale begins Wednesday, with general tickets going on sale Friday at noon local time.

Paul McCartney’s sitting on an unheard Prince cover of a Beatles song

May 27, 2026 by WDNY Radio

The Beatles are among the most-covered artists of all time, but there’s one cover that has yet to see the light of day — though Paul McCartney really wants it to be released.

While appearing on the BBC Radio 2 segment The Tracks of My Years, where artists pick their favorites songs, McCartney chose Prince’s “Kiss” and revealed that he was told awhile back that Prince had covered one of his songs.

“I was with some guy a couple of years ago, it was after Prince had died, and this guy said, ‘Have you heard Prince do “Long and Winding Road”?'” McCartney recalled. “I said, ‘I don’t think he ever did it.'”

McCartney said the man, who he believes was Prince’s photographer, told him that Prince had done the song in rehearsal, and offered to send it to him.

“It’s really great,” McCartney said. “And so I’m gonna sorta ask them if they — ’cause I could make it into something really good.”

“It’s kinda rocky. He plays some really good guitar on it,” Sir Paul added. “No, he was a special guy, you know. It’s so sad, these people, you know, they’re like — suddenly, he’s not here. And it always makes me wish that I’d known him better. … It’s such a shame ’cause they’re such talents.”

He referred to Prince as “a wizard.”

Other songs that McCartney chose included The Human League’s “Don’t You Want Me,” Elvis Presley’s “All Shook Up,” The Beach Boys’ “God Only Knows,” John Lennon’s “Imagine” and Bob Dylan’s “Mr. Tambourine Man.” Despite the fact that Paul is one of the world’s most famous and successful musicians, he admitted that he’s always “a little bit nervous” to approach Dylan.

Backstreet Boys’ AJ McLean released his solo EP Hi, My Name Is Alex on Nov. 27, his daughter’s birthday, and his album My Name Is Alexander James on Jan. 9, which is his birthday. Now he’s chosen another special day to reveal details of his upcoming solo tour.

May 27, 2026 by WDNY Radio

A Perfect Circle has premiered a new song called “Starless.”

The track marks the first fresh APC material in two years, following the 2024 single “Kindred.” It arrives ahead of the band’s upcoming tour of the U.K. and Europe, kicking off in June.

“Absolutely chuffed to debut this new track on stage in the U.K.,” says frontman Maynard James Keenan in a statement. “Of course I’m excited to release the recordings but our songs always take on an expanded personality once we start playing them live.”

“Some songs get kicked around and massaged for years,” adds guitarist Billy Howerdel. “But once in a while, one takes shape quickly, as if it had been there all along.”

The track also features longtime APC collaborator and former Foo Fighters drummer Josh Freese.

The most recent APC album is 2018’s Eat the Elephant.

A Perfect Circle will be back in the U.S. for a one-off show in Hawaii alongside fellow MJK band Puscifer in December.

Lady Gaga sets touring record with The MAYHEM Ball

May 27, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Lady Gaga’s MAYHEM Ball tour out-earned everyone else for the first half of the year.

That’s according to Billboard Boxscore, which tracks concert earnings. In the publication’s midyear Top Tours chart — which covers Oct. 1, 2025, to March 31, 2026 — Gaga ranked #1, taking in just over $236 million and selling 1.2 million tickets.

According to Billboard, that’s the biggest midyear gross in the history of Boxscore, which dates back to 1991. The previous record was held by U2, who grabbed just under $231 million from their shows at Sphere Las Vegas two years ago. But as the publication notes, U2 earned that much because their Sphere tickets averaged around $370. Gaga’s tour, meanwhile, had 52 stops, offering more shows for a lower price of around $200 per ticket.

During the midyear period, Gaga performed in the U.K., Europe, Australia, Japan and the U.S.

The tour, which ran from July 2025 to April 2026, concluded with an overall gross of around $363 million, making it one of the 10 biggest tours ever by a female artist.

Instead of a standard concert film, though, Gaga recently released an Apple Music film documenting a special one-night-only performance in LA. During the show, she performed songs from her MAYHEM album in a completely different way than she did on the tour.
