ZZ Top is headed overseas in 2026. The Texas rockers have announced dates for The Big One! tour, their first European trek in two years.
The 23-show tour will have them hitting 13 countries, with a mix of festival appearances and headlining dates. The tour starts June 13 in Estonia and hits Finland, Sweden, Norway, Germany, Czech Republic, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Switzerland and France before wrapping July 25 in Cadiz, Spain, which is one of several shows in that country.
“We love playing for European audiences as they’re among the most energetic and enthusiastic we’ve encountered over the course of the past five decades,” ZZ Top frontman Billy F Gibbons says.
He adds, “We predict a circumstance of direct communication because there’s no language barrier when the common parlance is to let it rock.”
A complete list of dates and ticket information can be found at ZZTop.com.
The announcement of the European shows follows the news that ZZ Top will be playing several dates in 2026 with country star Dwight Yoakam. Their Dos Amigos Tour kicks off March 26 in Brookings, South Dakota.

Wu-Tang Clan is bringing some of their music moments to fans via a newly launched Monopoly game.
MONOPOLY®: Wu-Tang Clan Edition will feature tokens representing the Wu-Tang symbol, a microphone and other items from the hip-hop group, as well as poster art from tour stops and “exclusive Community Chest and Chance Cards showcasing rare Wu-Tang moments and challenges inspired by their journey,” according to a press release.
The goal is to bankrupt your opponents, much like it is in the original game, but in addition to buying, selling and developing property, players will be able to do the same with some of Wu-Tang’s legendary tour stops.
“Three decades later, The Wu-Tang Clan remains a household name, well-known by fans of all ages,” said Dane Chapin, CEO of The Op Games, the board game and puzzle publisher that launched MONOPOLY®: Wu-Tang Clan Edition. “We are thrilled to merge one of the most influential Hip-Hop groups of all time with one of America’s favorite tabletop games in this new edition of MONOPOLY®: The Wu-Tang Clan Edition, and we’re so excited to see this title span generations and entertain the whole family.”
The limited release of MONOPOLY®: Wu-Tang Clan Edition on the group’s website is already sold out; the game will soon be available at select retailers, but a release date has not yet been announced.

Demi Lovato married musician Jordan “Jutes” Lutes in May, and she credits the universe for bringing them together — sort of.
Speaking to Who What Wear, Demi explains, “I had been in past relationships where I thought, ‘Oh, this is the long game!’ But I hadn’t taken care of myself yet. The universe rewards you when you do the therapeutic work on yourself, [and] I had to do the work.”
“Because of that, the universe provided,” she adds. “I got myself ready for a life by myself, and then I was able to share it with somebody else.”
Demi met Jutes while she was making her 2022 rock album, Holy Fvck, which she says was a low point for her emotionally.
“I opened up to him because I was going through a really rough time when I made Holy Fvck. I had just come out of treatment, and I was newly sober and raw with my emotions,” she says. “I had nothing to medicate with. He was there for me as a friend, helping me get through this deep depression I was in.”
She said after they co-wrote her “vulnerable” song “Happy Ending,” she realized she felt “safe” with him, even though at that point they were still friends. Eventually they began dating, and after two years together, he proposed in December 2023.
“I’m really happy. I told my husband today, ‘I’ve never been more in love with you. I didn’t know my love could grow for you more so than it already has,'” Demi shares. “The timing was perfect.”

Just like his duet partner Ella Langley, Riley Green clinched his very first CMA nomination in 2024, taking home the trophy for musical event for “you look like you love me.”
On Wednesday he competes in four more categories, including single, song and music video for the same hit.
As you might imagine, nobody’s prouder than his mom and dad.
“They might be more excited than me. My parents might have a better seat than me at the show, like they go to everything. I don’t know how they get into all these places,” Riley teases.
His playful attitude continues when it comes to his performance of his #1, “Worst Way,” also famous for its steamy visuals.
“I’m keeping all my clothes on during the performance,” he adds. “It’s not gonna be anything like the music video, so it’ll be a very, very family-friendly performance.”
The award Riley covets most? His other nomination, also for musical event with Ella, this time for the self-penned title track of his album, “Don’t Mind If I Do.”
“I wish either one of us could have seen it coming,” he says of the successful pairing. “I had no idea. But how cool is it to have two really big songs together with somebody?”
“And then also, we were on tour together getting to play those songs every night and you could just see the excitement of fans wanting to see us play those song together,” he recalls. “So it’s great that we’re still kinda riding that wave.”
Tune in to see how far it can take them, as the 59th CMAs air live from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena at 8 p.m. ET on ABC. You’ll also be able to stream the show Thursday on Hulu.
Disney is the parent company of ABC News and Hulu.

Lamb of God has announced the release of a new song called “Parasocial Christ.”
The track, perhaps inspired by the Cambridge Dictionary’s newly announced 2025 word of the year, will premiere on Friday. It’s available to presave now.
“Parasocial Christ” will mark the second new Lamb of God song of 2025, following October’s “Sepsis.” The band’s most recent album is 2022’s Omens.
Lamb of God also just announced a U.S. headlining tour for 2026, kicking off in March. Presales are open now, and tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday at 10 a.m. local time.
R.E.M.’s ‘Chronic Town’ and ‘Murmur’ Definitive Sound Series/ (Interscope-Capitol Records)
Two of R.E.M.’s early releases are getting a sound upgrade.
The band’s debut EP, Chronic Town, and their debut album, Murmur, are being reissued as part of Interscope-Capitol Records’ Definitive Sound Series.
The albums will be released together as a two-LP, 180-gram high-definition vinyl set, with the upgraded audio sourced from the original analog master tapes. Mitch Easter, who produced both releases, and Don Dixon, who co-produced Murmur, were directly involved with the upgrade.
The set will be released Dec. 10 and is limited to a one-time-only pressing of 3,000 copies. It is available for preorder now.
Released in August 1982, Chronic Town was a five-track collection that was recorded following the success of their first single, “Radio Free Europe.” A demo of the EP helped land R.E.M. a record deal with I.R.S. records.
Their debut album, Murmur, was released in April 1983 and debuted at #36 on the Billboard Albums chart. It was a huge hit with critics and went on to be certified Gold by the RIAA.

Old Dominion‘s taken home the CMA vocal group award every year since 2018.
But the “Making Good Time” hitmakers put in a decade of work before they started routinely winning that CMA category.
“We’ve been a band now for close to 20 years,” lead singer Matthew Ramsey says. “And we’ve been operating at this level, you know, successfully, for 10 now, so it has been quite a journey.”
Trevor Rosen is quick to affirm that OD was no overnight success.
“It seemed like it took forever,” he admits. “But we spent many years just learning how to write great songs in Nashville before we even thought about trying to go after it as a band. And then when we did decide to be a band, there [were] many years in a van and trailer just building it up fan by fan. So it is always funny to me when people observe it like it happened overnight.”
Perhaps the primary ingredient in the five-man band’s longevity is friendship.
“I don’t think we would have made it this far if we didn’t have such a good time just as friends,” Geoff Sprung says, “talking about the eight to 10 years where we were really kind of slugging it out. The reason we kept coming back was because when we got in that van, it was a lot of fun just to interact with these guys.”
OD will do a medley of their hits during Wednesday’s 59th CMA Awards, which air live from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena starting at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
“It’s a nice long performance, too,” Matthew says. “Sometimes those performances, they go by so fast and you don’t really remember what happened, but this will feel like a little mini-show and it should be a lot of energy.”

While we have to wait a little longer to see if it gets any Oscar nominations, the Bruce Springsteen biopic Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere has been recognized by at least one award show.
The film earned two nominations for this year’s Movies for Grownups Awards, put on by AARP. The awards honor “outstanding films and television projects that celebrate the voices and stories of the 50-plus,” according to a release.
