Warren Haynes announces 2026 solo shows

November 17, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Warren Haynes has announced dates for a new 2026 solo tour.

The trek will feature just Haynes and his guitar, and will have him playing stripped down shows that will feature two sets each night. He plans to play songs from his catalog, including solo recordings, and Gov’t Mule and Allman Brothers Band tunes, plus music that has influenced his career.

“Although I have done a few solo dates here and there, I’ve never afforded myself the opportunity to do an actual solo tour so I’m extremely excited about this,” Haynes says. “Anytime I get the chance to do something that I don’t get to do often enough is a rewarding experience for me and hopefully for the audience as well.”

The 11-date tour kicks off Feb. 12 in Grass Valley, California, and wraps Feb. 26 in Pelham, Tennessee.

Haynes will also be hitting the road with the Warren Haynes Band starting March 1 in Birmingham, Alabama, and wrapping March 7 in Ithaca, New York.

A fan club presale for all new shows will begin Wednesday at 12 p.m. ET, with local presales starting Thursday at 12 p.m. ET. Tickets go on sale to the general public starting Friday at 12 p.m. ET. A complete list of dates can be found at WarrenHaynes.net.

Next up, Haynes will hit the stage in his hometown of Asheville, North Carolina, for his annual Christmas Jam. The concert, taking place Dec. 13 at ExploreAsheville.com Arena, will be headlined by Warren Haynes & Friends, with the lineup also including Stone Temple Pilots and MJ Lenderman & The Wind.

The show will feature a special Christmas Jam tribute to Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh, featuring Haynes, Lesh’s son Grahame Lesh, Widespread Panic‘s Jimmy Herring, John Molo and Jason Crosby, along with special guests.

Vinnie Paul recipes to be served at Rainbow Bar & Grill

November 17, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Recipes created by the late Pantera drummer Vinnie Paul will be served at the Rainbow Bar & Grill.

The famed Los Angeles eatery and watering hole, where late Motörhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister was known to be a regular, will be serving Paul’s BBQ sauced cheese burger, Texas style cheese steak sammich and lemon pepper wings throughout the holiday season.

You’ll find those recipes and more in Paul’s cookbook, Drumming Up an Appetite, which was published posthumously in March.

Paul died in 2018, 14 years after the 2004 murder of his brother and Pantera bandmate, “Dimebag” Darrell Abbott. Pantera reformed in 2022 with Anthrax‘s Charlie Benante and Black Label Society‘s Zakk Wylde in place of Vinnie and Dime, respectively.

Jewel to debut art exhibition in Venice, Italy

November 17, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Jewel isn’t just a music artist, she’s a visual artist as well.

The singer-songwriter is set to debut an art exhibition at the Salone Verde in Venice, Italy, called Matriclysm: An Archeology of Connections Lost.

The exhibition, Jewel’s largest to date, will feature paintings, sculpture, tapestry, original music and voicework exploring themes of “motherhood, feminine power and the consequences of its loss.”

“At first glance, this exhibition centers on issues of femininity, power, and ecological consciousness, but at its core it is about memory, both profoundly personal and alarmingly global,” Jewel says in a statement. “If something of a cautionary tale, my hope is that the show reminds us what it feels like to be in closer harmony, inviting us to unearth ways to reconnect us to ourselves, each other, and the world around us.”

The exhibition will be on display from May 10, 2026, to Nov. 22, 2026.

Tucker Wetmore meets the Wild West in new video for ‘Brunette’

November 17, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Tucker Wetmore is a Wild West sheriff hunting down a “Brunette” in the new video for his viral hit.

Tucker, who co-directed the clip, puts up a poster reading “Wanted: Alive — A Brunette” as he and his deputy drop by a saloon for a drink. He spots a brunette woman, played by Bachelor Nation alum Hannah Godwin, and leads her to the dance floor. As they dance, the woman says, “It took you long enough. I ain’t no ghost, sheriff.”

“No, ma’am,” he replies. “Ghosts don’t dance this close to a heartbeat.”

As they leave the saloon hand in hand, the bartender — played by fellow Bachelor Nation alum Joey Graziadei — says to the deputy, “Looks like the sheriff caught his outlaw.” “Naw,” replies the deputy. “He didn’t catch her. She let him find her.”

As the two ride off together on Tucker’s horse, we see the “Wanted” poster he put up earlier, with the word “FOUND” stamped on it.

“Brunette,” which also inspired the name of Tucker’s upcoming world tour, is from Tucker’s album What Not To. He’s up for new artist of the year during Wednesday’s CMA Awards.

Ariana Grande to host, Cher to perform on ‘Saturday Night Live’

November 17, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Saturday Night Live is going out with a bang: Ariana Grande will host and Cher will perform on the last episode of 2025.

Ari will host SNL for the third time on Dec. 20, a month after her movie Wicked: For Good hits theaters. Cher, meanwhile, will perform on the show for only the second time in her storied career. The last time she graced the stage at Studio 8H was in 1987 — six years before Ariana was born.

Before that year-ending show, Melissa McCarthy will host the Dec. 6 episode with musical guest Dijon, who is a major contributor to Justin Bieber‘s albums SWAG and SWAG II.

Josh O’Connor will host Dec. 13 with musical guest Lily Allen. Allen’s latest album, West End Girl, has attracted a lot of attention for seemingly documenting the end of her marriage to Stranger Things star David Harbour.

Cheap Trick to play iconic live album ‘Cheap Trick at Budukon’ in Vegas

November 17, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Cheap Trick is revisiting their iconic live album Cheap Trick at Budukon, but fans won’t have to travel to Japan to experience it.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Famers announced two shows in Las Vegas where they will play the 1978 live record in its entirety, along with their other hits. Cheap Trick at Budokan – Live in Las Vegas will take place April 17 and 18, 2026, at The Venetian Theatre inside The Venetian Resort Las Vegas.

A ticket presale is underway, with tickets going on sale to the general public Friday at 10 a.m. PT.

Cheap Trick at Budokan was recorded April 28 and 30, 1978, at Tokyo’s Nippon Budokan. It was the band’s first live album, and featured performances of such classic tracks as “Surrender” and “I Want You To Want Me.” It went on to become the band’s bestselling album and has been certified triple Platinum by the RIAA. In 2019 it was chosen by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Recording Registry.

The Vegas announcement comes just days after Cheap Trick released their 21st studio album, All Washed Up. It’s the band’s first album since 2021’s In Another World.

Cher to be musical guest on ‘Saturday Night Live’ for first time in almost 40 years

November 17, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Cher is headed to Saturday Night Live for the first time in almost 40 years.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer is confirmed as musical guest on the Dec. 20 episode of the NBC late-night sketch show, with host Ariana Grande.

This will be Cher’s second time as musical guest on SNL, and her first since 1987. During that appearance she performed “I Found Someone” and “We All Sleep Alone.” Cher also performed “If I Could Turn Back Time” on SNL 50: The Homecoming Concert, which took place in February.

Saturday Night Live has three more episodes in 2025. The Dec. 6 episode will be hosted by Melissa McCarthy, with musical guest Dijon, and the Dec. 13 episode will be hosted by Challengers star Josh O’Connor, with musical guest Lily Allen.

Swish by exciting swish: Stephen Curry references Hayley Williams with history-making game

November 17, 2025 by WDNY Radio

It was never his intention to brag, but Stephen Curry was channeling Hayley Williams in a history-making performance on the court.

Curry’s Golden State Warriors beat the San Antonio Spurs 109-108 on Friday, during which he tied Michael Jordan‘s record for the most 40-point games after turning 30. In a post-game press conference, Curry told reporters that Warriors coach Steve Kerr, who played with Jordan on the Chicago Bulls in the ’90s, spoke to the players about approaching a team like approaching a band, where everyone has a role that adds up to a successful unit.

A reporter then asked Curry what artist he would liken himself to if he was the singer in a band.

“Depends on the night,” Curry first replied, before adding, “I was Hayley Williams in Paramore tonight.”

Curry does have some history with Paramore, having sang “Misery Business” with the band live in 2023 when their tour stopped in the Warriors’ home arena, the Chase Center. Maybe he has tickets to see Williams on her upcoming debut solo tour in 2026.

In the meantime, we’re launching a petition to rename the team the Golden State Paramore-iors.
