The “Supermassive Black Hole” rockers have released a teaser hinting at new material in their Instagram Story. The post includes a series of binary code printed over a lined piece of paper alongside a link to sign up for the band’s mailing list.
The most recent Muse album is 2022’s Will of the People, which spawned singles in “Won’t Stand Down,” “Kill or Be Killed,” “Compliance,” “You Make Me Feel Like It’s Halloween” and the title track.
Since then, Muse put out a new song, “Unravelling,” in 2025, along with a docuseries called With You dedicated to the band’s fans.
Muse will return to the live stage in July to perform at the Milwaukee Summerfest.

Following his 2015 hit “Head Over Boots” and his 2016 hit “Dirt on My Boots,” Jon Pardi waited a whole decade to revisit the topic with his new single, “Boots Off.”
“It’s just a lot of fun. Sexy, fun song, good dancing song, got a great beat,” Jon says. “And it’s my third ‘boot’ song, why not? It’s been 10 years since the last one. Time flies, right?”
“Boots Off” is from Jon’s current album, Honkytonk Hollywood.Jon sings about how after a night out, he and his love interest are heading back home, where they’ll be “loving ’til the sun comes up” — which is why, he sings, “I can’t get my boots off quick enough.” But Jon says the song’s inspiration was a little less romantic than that.
“It all kind of started when I had trouble getting my boots off after a show,” he explains. “You know, [you] get a little sweaty, you got to get them off. And, you know, you got that sexy wife, like [my wife] Summer, and you’re getting ready, come home and then you’re struggling to get your boots off — it could be a problem.”
“That’s where this whole kind of funny [theme came up],” Jon says. “‘Can’t get my boots off quick enough to go for round two at the nighttime.'”
Jon starts the 2026 leg of his Honkytonk Hollywood tour with Ashley Cooke and Zach John King on March 20. On March 22, he’ll perform at the Houston Rodeo.

Sometimes you just need to cry in the club.
In an interview for the Q with Tom Power podcast released Monday, Harry Styles details an emotional experience he had while on the dance floor of a Berlin club.
“It’s so baked in as part of Berlin culture that everyone deserves to go dancing and be free,” he says. “I was in a place where I just felt so safe, in a way, that I don’t think I had for a while in terms of really letting go.”
“And I remember standing in the middle of the dance floor and I had my hands up and I was kind of just breathing and I closed my eyes and I remember the feeling of, ‘Oh, I’m no longer scanning the room to see if anyone’s like, filming or anything,'” he recalls. “I just felt like, ‘Oh, I’m just on my own right now and I feel so free.'”
He says that feeling of freedom was “really emotional” for him, and he remembers “feeling tears roll down my face.”
It inspired Harry to try to capture that feeling in his new album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally. It was also part of his journey to open himself up to new experiences again.
Harry tells Power that while he was in One Direction, they were encouraged to give a lot of themselves in order to let people get to know them. Once he went solo, he started to become more private, until he began to feel like he was living in a bubble.
“The thing of like learning to set boundaries and stuff — a large part of that has also been learning when not to set boundaries and when to open up,” he says.

Neil Young is back in the studio.
In a new post on his Neil Young Archives site, the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer revealed that he’s recording a new album with his band Chrome Hearts.
The post started out with Young commenting on what’s been going on in America, writing, “I am so hurt for this country. Politics today is sad and depressing for me. I can’t do it anymore.”
“I can go out and demonstrate my feelings about it,” he added, before calling President Donald Trump “the worst president in the history of our country.”
He then let fans know what he’s been up to.
“Now, thankfully, once again, I’m in the studio recording a new album with the Chrome Hearts,” he wrote. “I love the songs and the feelings of life and love. Music is. So far we have eight new songs. They make me feel.”
Young released his first album with Chrome Hearts, Talkin to the Trees, in June 2025. He was supposed to hit the road with the band this summer, but in February he canceled the tour, noting he “decided to take a break.”

Jello Biafra, founding member and former lead singer of the seminal punk band Dead Kennedys, has been hospitalized after suffering a stroke on Saturday.
“I hopped out of my bed because I needed to pee, and my left leg just collapsed under me and I fell to the floor,” Biafra writes in an Instagram post published Monday by his record label, Alternative Tentacles. “I couldn’t even break the fall with my left arm because it wasn’t working either. I tried to hop back up again, and I couldn’t. I realized I had ‘fallen and I can’t get up!'”
“It was [at] this point I thought, ‘Oh s***, I’m having a stroke!'” he continues. “I still have a lot of great stuff in me, but right now I gotta lotta of rehabbing to do.”
The post adds that Biafra is currently stable and updates will be provided as they come.
Biafra formed Dead Kennedys in 1978 alongside guitarists East Bay Ray and 6025, bassist Klaus Flouride and drummer Ted. The band released four albums before breaking up in 1986.
Dead Kennedys reformed in 2001 without Biafra, and the relationship between the two camps has remained contentious.

A funeral service for Lil Poppa was held Saturday at Shiloh Metropolitan Baptist Church in Jacksonville, Florida, where he was laid to rest in a gold casket, according to XXL. During the service, his manager addressed fans’ social media comments and theories, and emphasized that the rapper was loved, cared for and often given words of encouragement throughout his journey.
“I said, ‘Don’t ever stop praying.’ I said, ‘You have a son to live for,'” she said, in part. “I said, ‘You have a family of people that need you and depend on you.'”
“Everybody has to deal with they own things on they own time,” she added. “And, if you really knew Poppa, you knew this is what Poppa wanted. Poppa was never happy with life. It had nothing to do with anybody. He just feel like he wasn’t making nobody happy. And that wasn’t the way it was supposed to be. Because, in truth, he made all of us happy.”
Poppa, born Janarious Wheeler, died by suicide on Feb. 18. He was 25 years old.
Yo Gotti, to whom Lil Poppa was signed, was in attendance. His CMG label paid tribute to the star upon news of his passing. “Thank you for sharing your gift with the world,” the caption read.
