September 23, 2025 by WDNY Radio

NBA YoungBoy‘s Wednesday show at the United Center in Chicago has been canceled. The venue announced the news on its website, although it did not provide a reason for the cancellation.

Refunds will be given to those who secured their tickets through Ticketmaster, while those who purchased their tickets from a third-party reseller are advised to contact their point of purchase.

NBA YoungBoy’s canceled show is one stop on the MASA tour, which supports his latest album of the same name. He kicked off the tour by donating $50,000 to two nonprofits in Dallas and was recently awarded his own day in Kansas City, Missouri.

National criminal justice advocate Donte West also presented NBA with the key to the city on behalf of Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas for his music, community outreach and work toward reducing violence and supporting underserved communities.

Green Day inadvertently helps panicked mom by pulling kid onstage at Riot Fest

September 23, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Green Day headlined Riot Fest in Chicago on Sunday, and fan-shot footage shows frontman Billie Joe Armstrong pulling a fan named Argyle onstage to join them for the song “Know Your Enemy.” Well, it turns out the move helped ease the stress of the kid’s mom.

Argyle’s mom, Bobbi Dunn Cantrell, commented on Armstrong’s Instagram photos from the show, which the rocker posted as a screenshot. Cantrell writes that she was in “panic mode” during the concert because she and Argyle had gotten separated.

“I was in panic mode all day because we got separated when I went to the bathroom and couldn’t get back to him,” read the comment. “He parked by the stage around noon and didn’t leave all day.”

She went on to thank Armstrong “for making my amazing kid’s dream come true and for easing my anxiety.”

“As soon as I saw him on stage I screamed ‘OMG THAT’S MY KID!!!!!’” she added. “What an amazing night! I am a new fan forever.”

Green Day has a couple more festivals on their schedule this year. They play Oceans Calling in Ocean City, Maryland, on Friday, and Eddie Vedder’s Ohana Festival in Dana Point, California, on Sunday.

Thomas Rhett is going it alone on social media these days.

“Am I doing this right?” he asks in a new Instagram post, going on to explain “my digital manager is on vacation” on a photo that shows him playing at the piano.

“I just sing and don’t know much about this,” he continues as he gives a thumbs-up standing beside what seems to be his front door.

“Hope I’m making her proud,” he adds, this time lifting a dumbbell in the gym.

“Anyways, this song comes out Friday,” he closes, posing in front of a coffee machine with a mug that says Best Dad Ever.

Indeed, TR does know a thing or two about social media posts, since he managed to set his slideshow to his new song, “On a River,” which drops Friday, along with “Water” and “Chapter 10.” Those are the final three tracks that complete the deluxe edition of his album About a Woman.
