Mike Campbell and The Dirty Knobs release ‘Mission of Mercy’ track ‘No Regrets’

May 13, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Mike Campbell and The Dirty Knobs have released the new track “No Regrets” from their upcoming album, Mission of Mercy.

“‘No Regrets’ was written the night before we recorded it. It’s like a movie in song about a fictional character who’s run out of town on a bum rap,” says Campbell. “What you hear is The Dirty Knobs’ first take; it’s basically saying, ‘let go of the past and go on living your life!’”

Mission of Mercy, Mike Campbell and The Dirty Knobs’ fourth studio album, will be released June 12. It features guest appearances by The B-52s’ Kate Pierson and Morgane Stapleton.

Following the release of the album, Mike Campbell and The Dirty Knobs are set to hit the road on a summer tour, which launches July 7 in Minneapolis. Campbell is also booked for a special concert on Sept. 12 in Atlanta, where he’ll play Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers hits backed by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. Campbell and The Dirty Knobs will also open for Chris Stapleton on Oct. 2 in Bristow, Virginia.

Oasis marks 30th anniversary of ‘Champagne Supernova’ with new visualizer

May 13, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Someday you will find a new video for “Champagne Supernova,” not caught beneath the landslide, but streaming on YouTube.

Oasis has premiered a new “Champagne Supernova” visualizer in honor of its 30th anniversary. The clip features a colorful montage of natural landscapes and cities along with famous landmarks including the Statue of Liberty and the Eiffel Tower.

“Champagne Supernova” originally appeared on Oasis’ 1995 sophomore album, (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? It was officially released as the sixth and final single off the album on May 13, 1996 — 30 years ago Wednesday.

Oasis played “Champagne Supernova” as the closing song on their 2025 reunion tour, which found the formerly feuding brothers Liam Gallagher and Noel Gallagher sharing the live stage for the first time in 16 years. A documentary about the tour will premiere in theaters in September before coming to Hulu and Disney+ later in 2026.

Disney is the parent company of Hulu and ABC News.

‘Little Miss Twain’ steps onstage this summer, after Shania plays a dozen nights in London

May 13, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Shania Twain’s seventh album, Little Miss Twain, hearkens back to her beginnings as “an eight-year-old singing late night at the bar” and is set to arrive July 24.

“A lot of Little Miss Twain is reflective of my teens, my roots as well as the energy of the rock and R&B I loved so much, but still with that Western twang,” she says. “Where I’m from you don’t go anywhere on a horse — you go on a snowmobile. I was dreaming about the Western lifestyle and I was living in a very different world than where I ended up.”

The record’s first single, “Dirty Rosie,” is out now, ahead of her Sunday gig hosting the 61st Academy of Country Music Awards at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Shania will preview the album with a 12-night stand at London’s Wembley Stadium with Harry Styles. She’ll cap that with a July 7 show at Thomond Park Stadium in Limerick City, Ireland.

Travis Kelce bonds with ‘SNL”s Colin Jost over being the ‘less famous person’ in the relationship

May 13, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Travis Kelce and Saturday Night Live’s Colin Jost have something unique in common: Despite their celebrity status, they’re still both much less famous than their significant others. And when Colin appeared on Travis and Jason Kelce’s New Heights podcast on Wednesday, they bonded over that fact.

Travis is, of course, engaged to the world-famous pop star Taylor Swift. Colin is married to Scarlett Johansson, a two-time Oscar nominee and the second-highest-grossing actor in box office history. Her movies have collectively earned more than $15 billion.

“As two guys who are also of the ‘plus-one fraternity’ and have the same experience, how nice is it to be the less famous person in your relationship?” Travis asked Colin.

“Huge relief,” he responded.

“It’s really funny because … I think I’m probably almost approached more because she’s less approachable,” Colin continued. “Because I’m on TV … I’m in their living room, so [people are] just like, ‘Hey, what’s up, man? How’s it going?’ She’s actually almost, like, so famous that they don’t believe [it’s her] a lot of times.”

“Shout out to the plus-ones out there,” said Travis.

“It’s good. I feel like we can commiserate,” Colin added. “I’m on the team,” Travis agreed.

Colin also noted that because he’s married to Scarlett Johansson, he can never complain about his wife in his stand-up. “I can’t be like, ‘She’s nagging me about this,'” he laughed. “Everyone’s like, ‘Shut the f*** up!'”

Travis also discussed his recent trip to London with Taylor, raving that the meal they had at the famous Indian restaurant they dined at, Gymkhana, was “f****** remarkable.”

“You didn’t like food before you starting dating … Taylor,” Jason said, a comment Travis said was “bogus.”

Ledisi lands first Broadway principal role as she joins new musical ‘Wanted’

May 13, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Ledisi is returning to Broadway, this time as star. After serving as a standby for the 2004 production of Caroline, or Change, the singer has landed the role of Tallulah Clarke in the new musical Wanted.

The musical follows sisters Mary and Martha Clarke, played by Solea Pfeiffer and Liisi LaFontaine, two Black women who pass for white and become outlaws in an effort to save their mother and preserve their family’s legacy. Tallulah Clarke is their mother.

“I am beyond thrilled to join the cast of Wanted. My first Broadway principal role, and I still can’t believe it,” Ledisi said in a statement. “I keep thinking about the journey, God’s timing, and the importance of legacy.”

“I’m grateful to Angelica Chéri, Ross Baum, Stevie Walker-Webb, and our producers for trusting me with the role of Tallulah, and to my family, friends, and team for giving me the courage to say ‘yes,’” she continued. “I love being a recording artist, and that will never change. Theatre has always been part of my vision as a storyteller. This isn’t a pivot… It’s another expansion of me. And I’m just getting started.”

Wanted begins previews at The James Earl Jones Theatre on Oct. 15 and officially opens Nov. 8.

Fans can now register for access to the presale, which starts June 16 at 10 a.m. ET at Wantedmusical.com. Tickets go on sale to the public June 23 at 10 a.m. ET. Groups of 10 or more can purchase tickets now through March 31 on Broadway Inbound.

May 13, 2026 by WDNY Radio

My Chemical Romance has shared a teaser post related to the band’s 2010 album, Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys.

The post, which went up on MCR’s Instagram Wednesday, features an image of the Danger Days cover artwork with the letters XV imposed over it. The letters could be the Roman numeral for 15, though Danger Days technically turns 16 in 2026.

My Chem simply writes “Tomorrow” in the caption, suggesting we’ll find out what’s up on Thursday.

My Chemical Romance is also headlining the Sonic Temple festival on Thursday. They’ll then head to Europe before launching a U.S. stadium tour in August, during which they’re celebrating the 20th anniversary of their 2006 opus, The Black Parade.

Danger Days, meanwhile, remains the last My Chemical Romance album before the band broke up in 2013. They reunited in 2019 and put out one new single, “The Foundations of Decay,” in 2022.

Alex Van Halen says Van Halen reached out to Michael Anthony about 2006 David Lee Roth reunion

May 13, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Alex Van Halen is setting the record straight about not having Michael Anthony in Van Halen for their 2006 reunion with original frontman David Lee Roth.

In an interview with the Brazilian outlet KazaGastão, Alex says that when the band decided to reunite with Roth they reached out to Anthony, but wound up going with Eddie Van Halen’s son Wolfgang Van Halen when Anthony didn’t respond.

“We did call,” Alex says. “To put the record straight, we did call Mike cause we owed him that, and we did call, he just didn’t answer.”

“You know, and I’m not angry at him, I love Mike,” he adds, noting that he was his “drinking buddy.”

Alex says Wolfgang wound up getting the gig because he impressed him and Eddie in the studio.

“People think … that there’s family influences in how he became part of the band, which is just simply not true,” he says.

Anthony’s last tour with Van Halen was their 2004 reunion tour with Sammy Hagar. Anthony is currently playing with Hagar on his The Best of All Worlds Tour, which has Hagar performing a set filled with Va Halen classics. The next U.S. leg launches June 13 in St. Louis.
