Courtney Love has clarified that Hole is not reuniting after teasing an upcoming tour with former bandmate Melissa Auf der Maur.
As previously reported, Love posted a video of Auf der Maur on Instagram captioned, “So do we tell the kids about the tour … ?” The post is also soundtracked by the Hole song “Malibu.”
Naturally, the post led to speculation that Hole was getting back together, which Love has now refuted.
“Not a reunion baby,” Love writes in the comments of her original post. “Me and [Auf der Maur] touring new songs.”
Love also replied to a post by Spin magazine reporting on her original comments, adding, “No hole reunion, [Auf der Maur] playing shows, new songs.”
Hole last played live together in 2012. In 2019, Love posted and then deleted a photo of Hole rehearsing together. But in 2021, she told Vogue there would “absolutely not” be a Hole reunion, adding, “You guys have gotta get over it.”
Meanwhile, Auf der Maur is going on a book tour in support of her upcoming memoir, Even the Good Girls Will Cry, due out March 17, while Love is the subject of a new documentary called Antiheroine, which premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival.

Baby Keem has released another visual from his Ca$ino album. “Good Flirts” featuring Kendrick Lamar and Momo Boyd, and directed by Renell Medrano, is now available to watch on YouTube.
Keem first premiered the video at a surprise pop-up show at New York City’s Webster Hall Wednesday night, which he announced earlier in the day on X.
According to setlist.fm, he performed Ca$ino tracks “Circus Circus Freestyle,” “Birds & The Bees,” the title track and “House Money,” as well as older songs including “MOSHPIT” and “ORANGE SODA” from 2019’s Die For My B****, and “vent” and “bank account” from 2021’s The Melodic Blue.
Keem’s show served as somewhat of a makeup to fans after a snowstorm forced the cancellation of his NYC album signing on Feb. 23.
Outside his Ca$ino release party and a surprise appearance on Kendrick’s GNX tour, Keem hadn’t performed a full show since November 2023, when he played at Camp Flog Gnaw.
He’s set to return to New York on June 4 as part of his Ca$ino tour and will perform at the 2026 Governors Ball the following day.
