6lack has released the music video for his song “I Guess,” off Love is the New Gangsta.
The visual, directed by Cameron Dean, features the singer in surreal dreamscapes. In one scenario, a giant bear appears in the room with him, and on the wall we see a broken heart and the lyrics “I guess I blew it.” Other scenes feature him in a field of sunflowers and against a cloud backdrop.
On the song, he sings about looking back on a failed relationship and realizing there’s nothing he can do to save it.
This latest music video follows previous video releases for Love is the New Gangsta tracks “On Me” featuring Odeal, “Running Late Freestyle,” “All That Matters” featuring AZ Chike and Leon Thomas, and “Sunday Again” featuring 2Chainz.
6lack is heading overseas in September for the European leg of his 10 Years of 6lack tour. He’ll be back in the U.S. in October, hitting cities such as Los Angeles, Houston and his hometown of Atlanta before wrapping things up in Minneapolis on Dec. 11.

The music, art and cultural influences of Grateful Dead co-founder Jerry Garcia will be celebrated with a new immersive exhibition.
Eyes of the World: The Jerry Garcia Experience, from producer Cary Granat, is described as an “ever-evolving, technologically enhanced exhibition built from Garcia’s own voice, music, and musings.” Fans will walk through eight different immersive rooms, with each exploring a different aspect of the rocker’s life and artistry. It ends with a performance space, featuring live music from Jerry Garcia tribute bands.
“My father began creating this exhibit with Cary more than 30 years ago,” Jerry’s daughter Keelin Garcia, co-founder of Jerry Garcia Music Arts LLC, says. “It was his dream project. Bringing it to life as he imagined is a deeply meaningful experience. We are honored to work with the people he trusted creatively. We look forward to bringing Eyes of the World: The Jerry Garcia Experience to the fans he loved.”
“Jerry’s artistic genius contributed to one of the most inspired movements in music and culture, built on openness, community and connection to one another,” Garcia’s former partner Manasha Garcia, co-founder of the Jerry Garcia Foundation, adds. “We hope those who visit Eyes of the World find a little of that inspiration and joy in this experience.”
The 40,000-square-foot touring experiential event is set to open in San Francisco in early 2027, followed by stops in Chicago, Nashville, New York and Los Angeles.
Ticket information will be announced at a later date. More info can be found at Eyesofthe.World.

Wynonna Judd will launch The Hard Truth Tour Oct. 8 at the Bowery Ballroom in New York City, just days after her new album of the same name comes out Oct. 2.
“As we were making this record, I kept finding myself thinking about you. Every song we recorded, every story we told… I couldn’t help but wonder what it would feel like to stand onstage and share it with you face to face,” Wy says.
“That’s the wonderful thing about music. A song may start in a writing room or a studio, but it doesn’t really come alive until it’s shared,” she continues. “The Hard Truth holds some of the most honest moments I’ve ever put to music. It’s about the things that shape us, break us, heal us, and keep us moving forward. Bringing these songs to the stage feels like inviting you into that journey with me.”
The 15-date tour will hit Houston, Tulsa, St. Louis and more before wrapping Nov. 21 in Gary, Indiana. Presales start Tuesday, before tickets become available to the public on Friday.

Taylor Swift left quite a first impression on Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Phil Collins.
Collins appears on the latest installment of BBC Radio 2’s Tracks of My Yearspodcast, where artists reveal the 10 songs that have soundtracked their life. Because of that first encounter with Taylor, Collins chose her Fearless song “White Horse” for his list.
Collins explains that he met Taylor “way, way back” at the Songwriters Hall of Fame, where he was introduced to her by one of his daughters, Emily in Paris star Lily Collins.
“I’d kind of known the name, but she wasn’t anywhere near the star she is today,” Collins says. “Then she got up onstage with a guitar and sang ‘White Horse,’ and it blew me away completely, cause not only was the song great, and the sentiment of the song really got me, but she sang it beautifully and it was just so simple, you know, her on the guitar.”
“So, I’ve always had a soft spot for this song since then,” he adds.
Collins says he’s “so pleased that she’s the hugest thing in the world now.”
“It kind of feels like she deserves it, you know,” he says. “It’s easy to knock someone that’s got so much success but I think she really deserves it.”
Swift performed “White Horse” at the 2010 Songwriters Hall of Fame induction, where she received the Hal David Starlight Award. In May, she was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Ronnie Wood is going country … sort of.
The Rolling Stones rocker has stepped in to headline The Long Road Festival, a U.K. festival of country, Americana and roots music. He replaces previously announced headliner Bailey Zimmerman, who recently called off his U.K./European tour “to focus on important family matters.”
Wood and his band will headline the festival’s main stage on Aug. 29, with special guest Imelda May.
The lineup for the festival, taking place Aug. 27-30 at Stanford Hall in Leicestershire, England, also includes Maren Morris, The Shires, Emmylou Harris, Steve Earle and more.
Wood kicked off a European tour in July and will next play a show in London on Aug. 21. He also has upcoming shows in Switzerland, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Spain and Portugal.

Ghost frontman Tobias Forge is taking part in V/H/S/MIXTAPE, the latest installment of the V/H/S horror anthology series.
V/H/S/MIXTAPE “cranks the signature found-footage horror up to eleven with an electrifying new anthology where music and sound become the source of terror,” according to a press release.
Forge’s contribution, which will mark his debut as a filmmaker, will be an original music video.
V/H/S/MIXTAPE is set to premiere on the streaming service Shudder on Oct. 9.
You can also see Forge on the big screen in Ghost’s upcoming concert film, 2 Big to Rig, which premieres in theaters on Aug. 26. The movie was recorded during Ghost’s sold-out shows in Mexico City in 2025.
Fans who went to see Zac Brown Band Sunday night at Boston’s Fenway Park not only enjoyed a night of entertainment, they also walked away with a free Caribbean cruise.
The trip was Zac’s gift to the fans to celebrate the band’s 15th consecutive sell-out at the ballpark, which is a record. ZBB already has bragging rights when it comes to selling the most tickets in the venue’s history.
Zac unveiled the surprise just before performing the band’s 2021 #1, “Same Boat.”
“Tonight we’re going to do something that even Jimmy [Buffett] would say is crazy,” Zac said from the stage. “I’m buying every single person here a cruise for two people on the boat. This is the biggest giveaway in history, ladies and gentlemen, right here tonight at Fenway Park!”
You might remember ZBB also did a version of “Same Boat” with Buffett, the man behind the Margaritaville at Sea concept.
Zac personally worked with the cruise company, which is the sponsor of the Love & Fear Tour, to make it happen. The largest audience gift in live entertainment history, the trips for the more than 37,000 fans are worth more than $40 million.
At subsequent tour stops, they’ll be giving away four cruises per show.
If you’d like to see the Boston show, you can stream it exclusively on nugs.

Olivia Dean brought out Sam Fender during her headlining set at Lollapalooza on Saturday for a joint performance of “Rein Me In.”
The rendition marked the first time Dean and Fender have played the song together in the U.S.
“@lollapalooza that was mega,” Fender wrote in an Instagram post alongside footage of the performance. “Thank you for having us @oliviadeano.”
Olivia posted her own reaction to playing the festival, writing, “@lollapalooza my first time headlining a festival in america. 97,000 of you !!! truthfully i had been crying all day beforehand trying to process how we even got to this point.”
The performance comes after “Rein Me In” broke a 73-year-old British chart record in becoming the longest-running #1 single in the history of the U.K.’s Official Singles Chart. The track has led the ranking for 19 weeks.
“Rein Me In” originally appeared on Fender’s 2025 album, People Watching. The duet version with Dean was later released as part of the deluxe version of the record.
