Koe Wetzel is turning into a “Werewolf” just in time for Halloween.
“I don’t need a full moon/ To be howling like a damn fool,” he sings on his new track. “Tearing up everything I see/ Baby that’s the werewolf in me.”
While it’s all in fun ahead of Oct. 31, Koe says the song still reflects his personality.
“‘Werewolf’ is a fun way of owning all the chaos that comes with me: the good, the bad and the loud,” he says. “We had a blast making it, and who knows – maybe it’s the start of something or maybe it’s just an opportunity to cut loose.”
The “High Road” hitmaker only has one chance to sing his new tune before Halloween, as he plays the Greenville Country Music Festival Friday night.
The 11-track dance-pop album features the previously released singles “Fast,” “Here All Night” and “Kiss.” Demi took to Instagram Friday to speak about how much this album means to her.
“this album era has been such a joyful and fun time in my life,” she writes. “i really feel like i’m exactly where i’m supposed to be.”
She continues, “every piece of this world was created with so much love. from set to the studio, i’ve enjoyed every moment of this process and i hope you can feel it when you listen. i’m so glad it’s finally yours to laugh, dance, and even cry to (because let’s be real, i had to get *a little* deep).”
Her husband, the musician Jutes, supported her in the comments, writing, “YOU DID IT! I feel blessed to be able to watch your greatness from so close. There is no one better, no one more talented, no one sexier and no one more deserving of all the love and praise. Beyond proud of u baby. I love u!”
Demi also released a music video Friday for a live version of the song “Let You Go.”
She’s set to play a one-night-only performance at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles on Saturday, marking her first headlining show in two years.
Linkin Park has shared a video celebrating the 25th anniversary of their landmark debut album, Hybrid Theory.
“It’s a big day,” co-vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Mike Shinoda says in the clip.
Released Oct. 24, 2000, Hybrid Theory proved to be a seminal album of the late ’90s/early 2000s nu metal scene thanks to hits including “In the End,” “One Step Closer” and “Crawling.” Today, it’s certified Diamond by the RIAA for over 10 million certified units.
“Just wanted to say on behalf of the band, thank you guys so much for all of your support along the way, for making everything possible for the band,” Shinoda says. “Whether you joined way back then in 2000 or if you joined somewhere else along the way, we feel really grateful for the ride that we’ve been on, and to be able to still be out there playing shows and putting out new music.”
Following Hybrid Theory, Linkin Park further explored nu metal with their 2003 sophomore effort, Meteora, before then branching out into many other different genres and styles with further releases. In 2017, they released the album One More Light, which would be their last with frontman Chester Bennington, who died later that year.
After then going on hiatus, Linkin Park announced their return in 2024 with new vocalist Emily Armstrong and released their latest album, From Zero.

We’ve got new details on Richard Marx’s new album, After Hours.
The album is set to arrive Jan. 16, 2026, and will feature the new single “Big Band Boogie” featuring Kenny G, as well as the song “Young at Heart” featuring Rod Stewart. Other guest features on the album include Chris Botti, Randy Waldman, Tom Scott and Drea Tomè.
After Hours has 13 tracks total, blending songs from the Great American Songbook with original songs Richard wrote in that style. It includes the previously released “Magic Hour,” which was co-written by Richard’s wife, Daisy Fuentes.
“I never seriously considered doing a standards or covers album before because at heart, I am a songwriter, first and foremost,” Richard says in a statement. “The challenge of writing songs as if I were pitching them to Frank Sinatra in 1948 really appealed to me. Creating these songs was more fun than I could’ve imagined, and singing them all live in the studio with the whole band, just like Frank and Dean used to do, was the thrill of a lifetime.”
Richard’s After Hours: Confessions at Café Carlyle New York City residency continues Friday and Saturday.
The band has announced a last-minute surprise concert in their hometown of Austin, Texas, taking place Friday at the venue Sagebrush.
Tickets are available exclusively at the door starting at 6 p.m. CT. For more info, visit Spoon’s Facebook page.
Spoon released a pair of new songs, “Chateau Blues” and “Guess I’m Fallin in Love,” in August. At the time, frontman Britt Danielnoted that Spoon was working on a new album, but decided they wanted to put those songs out right away.
The most recent Spoon album is 2022’s Lucifer on the Sofa.
Meghan Patrick’s ‘Golden Child (The Final Chapter)” & ‘Both Can Be True’ (Riser House Records)
Meghan Patrick has her first top-25 hit in the U.S. with “Golden Child,” as the Canadian star prepares to release the deluxe edition of her album of the same name.
Golden Child (The Final Chapter) arrives Jan. 9, 2026, and will feature six new songs.
“This song is about realizing how hard it can be in life to truly ‘have it all’ at one time, but understanding there’s always beauty and happiness to be found if you’re looking for it,” Meghan says. ”It’s ok to be grateful for what you have and still want more, or love someone while knowing they aren’t ‘the one’.”
“Life can be heartbreaking lows and exhilarating highs, and the beauty of living is accepting that both can be true, and sometimes at the same time,” she adds.
Meghan and husband Mitchell Tenpenny celebrated their third anniversary Thursday, just as she prepares to headline her third benefit for YWCA Nashville & Middle Tennessee on Monday.
The show at the Nashville Palace raises money for the YWCA’s domestic violence services program.

New Edition will celebrate music, legacy and connection in their upcoming trek. They announced the tour via a trailer, which finds them discussing how they can top their recent Las Vegas residency.
“It was dope,” Ronnie Devoe says of the residency, “but I feel like we can take it to another level.” Mike Bevins says he’s two steps ahead and phones Boyz II Men to offer them a spot on the tour.
“New Edition and Boyz II Men. We’ve never, all these years, never shared the stage together,” Johnny Gill says, as they all contemplate how they can do something they’ve never done.
When Ronnie suggests they’re missing “a little feminine energy,” Johnny calls the “bona fide queen” Toni Braxton, who accepts the offer without hesitation.
The New Edition Way tour will see New Edition, Boyz II Men and Toni performing their hits in an immersive, 360-degree view. “Here’s the vision. All three of us on the same stage every night. Not taking turns. Actually performing together. Fans all around us going crazy. No barriers. No separation. An original music experience,” they say in the trailer. “It will be like nine kings and a queen. The next level starts now.”
Dates begin on Jan. 29, 2026, at the Oakland Arena in California, with stops in Boston, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, New York and other major cities on the schedule. There are various presales for the 30-city tour, but tickets go on sale to the general public Oct. 31 at 10 a.m. local time. More information can be found at ticketmaster.com.
Bruce Springsteen on Jimmy Kimmel Live!/(Disney/Randy Holmes)
The Bruce Springsteen movie Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere is in theaters now, and it sounds like the rocker may be open to revisiting his life on screen once again.
At the AFI Fest opening night screening of the film, director Scott Cooper told Variety that another Springsteen movie isn’t out of the realm of possibility.
“I suppose if you can make four Beatles movies, you can make a couple of Bruce Springsteen movies,” he said, a reference to Sam Mendes’ upcoming project, The Beatles — A Four-Film Cinematic Event, due out in April 2028.
“There’s so many chapters in Bruce’s life, in all seriousness, that are quite right for cinematic treatment,” Cooper said. “That’s something quite honestly that Bruce and I have discussed. I think he really loves this film. He’s loved the experience.”
He added, “I think he feels incredibly comfortable with someone telling a very painful chapter in his life. You’d have to ask him, but I think he’s ready for more.”
Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere stars Jeremy Allen White as Springsteen and Jeremy Strong as his manager, Jon Landau. It follows the rocker as he makes his 1982 solo album, Nebraska.
Madison Beer wants you to see what’s in her locket in January.
That’s the title of her new album, which will be out Jan. 16, 2026. Madison wrote and co-produced the album. It includes the songs she’s released so far in 2025, “yes baby” and “bittersweet.”
Explaining the album title, Madison says, “After writing [it], it feels like each song lives within this metaphorical locket for safe keeping. Each album feels like an era and once the albums are out in the world the chapter for me, usually with what I wrote about, is closed.”
Madison announced the album on Instagram by writing, “i really can’t believe i’m sayin this. this album means the world to me, i’ve never been so proud or excited about something n i am soooooo beyond excited for u to listen :’)) this project is my world and metaphorically / literally my heart.”
As previously reported, Madison recently released the video for “bittersweet,” which costars The Summer I Turned Pretty actor Sean Kaufman as her ex.
As the cooler temperatures of fall arrive, Scotty McCreery‘s already hoping for snow.
The American Idol winner’s just released his take on Irving Berlin‘s 1942 classic “White Christmas.”
“I love Christmas music and sing it throughout the year,” Scotty says. “For a long time, ‘White Christmas’ has been one of my favorite Christmas songs. I especially love The Drifters’ version as well as Elvis’s [sic] version. I decided it was now time to do my own version. Hope everyone likes it!!”
“White Christmas” joins “Feel Like the Holidays,” which came out in 2023, among Scotty’s holiday recordings. He also put out Christmas with Scotty McCreery in 2011.
Scotty’s currently enjoying some time with his second son, Oliver Cooke McCreery, who was born in September, before he heads out on the Two for the Road Tour with Dustin Lynch in November.
