Foals frontman Yannis Philippakis has launched a new project called Yannis & The Yaw, featuring music he recorded with the late drummer Tony Allen.
The debut Yannis & The Yaw EP, Lagos Paris London, will be released August 30. You can listen to the single “Walk Through Fire” now via digital outlets.
“There’s an eternal quality to these drum tracks, and you feel a continuity of [Allen’s] life and energy through them,” Philippakis says. “He wanted people to hear this, and it’s good to be able to do it for him — but of course it’s slightly bittersweet.”
Allen played in Afrobeat icon Fela Kuti‘s band and frequently worked with Damon Albarn. He died in 2020.
If you need even more emo nostalgia in your life, Hawthorne Heights is here for you.
The “Ohio Is for Lovers” outfit has announced the 20 Years of Tears tour, during which they’ll be playing their 2004 debut album, The Silence in Black and White, in full. The outing runs from June 23 in Salt Lake City, Utah, to September 15 in Worcester, Massachusetts.
Depending on the date, bands including Thursday, Saosin and Anberlin will also be on the bill.
“20 Years of Tears is a celebration of the genre that raised an entire generation, with basement-born bands to stadium headliners,” says Hawthorne Heights front man JT Woodruff. “Emo comes in all shapes and sizes and has touched the hearts and minds of people from all walks of life. With some of the biggest names of the MySpace Generation, this lineup is designed to give you the energy you had while feeling so misunderstood, as a ‘misguided’ youth.”
He adds, “This is not just a summer concert, it is a must-see event that can reignite the fire inside all of us as we sing and scream together like it’s 2004.”
Tickets go on sale Friday, April 19, at 10 a.m. local time. For the full list of dates and all ticket info, visit HawthorneHeights.com.

After reports that he was in talks for the job, Travis Kelce has landed it. Taylor Swift‘s other half is the new host ofAre You Smarter Than a Celebrity? — a spin-off of the popular game show Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader? — which will stream on Prime Video.
The show will feature a contestant who will get help from a group of celebrities in answering 11 questions on subjects taken from an elementary school curriculum, with a $100,000 prize hanging in the balance. For the final question, which will be on a sixth-grade level, the contestant will pick one celebrity to talk through the answer before making their final decision.
“I grew up loving game shows, and I’m excited to be following in the footsteps of so many TV icons by hosting my very first one with Are you Smarter than a Celebrity,” the Kansas City Chiefs tight end said in a statement. “The original show is a great success, so to be bringing a new format with everyone’s favorite celebrities to the screen, will definitely be entertaining.”
He adds, “I’m just happy to be on the hosting side of the equation here and excited to see how these famous faces keep up.”
No word yet on when the show will premiere, or how it might fit into Kelce’s training or playing schedule — or into Taylor’s recording and touring schedule.
Noah Kahan won’t be trading his sticks for golf clubs anytime soon, but he’s thrilled that the guy who won the Masters is evidently a fan.
After Scottie Scheffler won his second green jacket in Augusta, Georgia, on April 14, he posted an Instagram Reel of his victory and press conference, set to Noah’s song “Forever.” Noah reposted it on his Instagram Story and wrote, “Oh my!! @scottie.scheffler using my song in his victory video after his INCREDIBLE @themasters win! I am so honored! this guy is one of the greats!”
And in other Noah Kahan-related sports news, he posted a photo of himself posing with the Stanley Cup ahead of the playoffs on April 20. “Stanley’s are all the rave right now,” he wrote, joking about the popular line of water bottles of the same name. “And I got to hold the coolest one of all.”
Noah also reposted a video to his Instagram Story made by comedian and actor Patton Oswalt: It shows Oswalt driving his daughter and her friends around and looking disgusted while they sing “Stick Season” at the top of their lungs.
Noah commented, “Unfortunately my music has irritated Uber drivers and dad-chauffeurs around the globe.. lol they sound awesome though!! Hope you guys can make it to a show someday.”
Neil Young is set to kick off his Love Earth tour later this month, and he’s got a big treat in store for fans.
Rolling Stonereports that during a Zoom with subscribers to his Neil Young Archives site, the rocker revealed he’s planning to perform the classic “Cortez The Killer” with previously lost lyrics that he hasn’t performed in 50 years.
“Just a couple of days ago, I found the other verses,” he shared. “Just the lyrics…We may have those lost lyrics in the show, which will be fun for me.”
Those verses were lost during the recording process due to a power outage to the recording console. The band was unaware and kept performing, but that resulted in one verse being missed.
Young added, “Now that I’ve found the lyrics, I’m trying to find exactly where they come in the song. I need to look at the tape and see where the cut is, where we lost some. I’ll insert them there.”
Also on the Zoom, Young gave fans more info on the Crosby, Stills & Nash Fillmore East 1969 live album, which he previously announced on his site, as well as the planned Archives III and IV box sets, which will cover a period of 30 years each, with IV being the final installment.
Young’s Love Earth tour is set to kick off with a two-night stand in San Diego, California, on April 24 and 25. A complete list of dates can be found at neilyoungarchives.
