There’s more new music on the way from U2.
The Irish rockers announced they’re dropping a new single, “Street of Dreams,” on Tuesday at 12 p.m. ET. They also shared a snippet of the song, along with a clip of the accompanying music video.
U2 shot the video for “Street of Dreams” in Mexico City in June. They shared a clip of the shoot on Instagram and wrote in the caption that they “Hopped a bus in Mexico City, destination: Street of Dreams.” They also included what is likely a lyric from the song, “‘Justice an obsession, love is a procession down the street of dreams.'”
At the time of the video shoot, a press release announced that the song will appear on U2’s yet-to-be announced album, which is expected to be released later this year.
U2’s next album will be their first album of new material since 2017’s Songs of Experience. They did release two EPs with new material — Days of Ash and Easter Lily — in February and April, respectively.

My Chemical Romance is currently touring Europe while celebrating the 20th anniversary of their 2006 album, The Black Parade. The trek will come to U.S. stadiums starting in August.

Lionel Richie is thanking fans for their messages of support following the recent onstage health scare that caused him to leave a show in St. Paul, Minnesota, early, and cancel two subsequent concerts.
“Thank you for every message, every kind word, and for all your love,” Lionel wrote on Instagram. “I’m doing well, and I’m grateful for all of you.”
Richie fell ill onstage during the opening night of the Sing A Song All Night Long tour with Earth, Wind & Fire in St. Paul. He left the stage after telling the audience he was feeling dizzy, according to the Minnesota Star Tribune.
Richie and Earth, Wind & Fire subsequently postponed shows in Chicago and Columbus, Ohio, returning to the stage on June 30 in Pittsburgh.
The tour hits Boston on Wednesday. A complete list of dates can be found at LionelRichie.com.

Jon Pardi and his wife, Summer Pardi, are going their separate ways.
“After much thought, we have made the difficult decision to end our marriage,” the couple announced on their socials.
“Our daughters will always remain our highest priority and we are committed to moving forward with love and respect as co-parents,” their statement continues. “Thank you for your understanding, support and respect as we navigate these changes as a family.”
The couple tied the knot in November 2020. Presley Fawn Pardi was born Feb. 18, 2023, with Sienna Grace Pardi following on July 16, 2024.
Beatles legends Paul McCartney and John Lennon met for the very first time at St. Peter’s Church in Liverpool, where Lennon’s skiffle group, the Quarrymen, was playing a show.
The Quarrymen’s sometime bass player Ivan Vaughan, who was McCartney’s classmate at the Liverpool Institute, introduced the 15-year-old McCartney to his bandmates, including a 16-year-old Lennon.
McCartney, who impressed Lennon by playing Eddie Cochran’s “Twenty Flight Rock” and other songs at the meeting, was eventually invited to join the group, making his debut in October 1957.
McCartney’s friend George Harrison joined the band about a year later. In 1960, Lennon brought on his art school friend, Stuart Sutcliffe, and the band eventually changed their name to The Beatles.

Sharon Osbourne shared a tribute to her late husband, Ozzy Osbourne, Saturday on what marked the couple’s first wedding anniversary since the metal icon’s death in 2025.
“Today would have been our 46th wedding anniversary,” Sharon wrote in an Instagram post. “Instead, it is a celebration of a love that even death could not diminish.”
The post is accompanied by a closeup image of Ozzy’s hand holding Sharon’s.
“I miss your hand in mine, but I carry your love with me every step of the way,” Sharon continued. “Forever my husband. Forever my heart.”
Ozzy died on July 22, 2025, just over two weeks after performing his final concert at the massive Back to the Beginning show on July 5. He was 76.
In related news, Ozzy’s hometown of Birmingham, England, where Back to the Beginning took place, has launched a photo exhibit dedicated to the concert in celebration of its one-year anniversary.
Duran Duran feat. Nile Rodgers perform on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ (Disney/Randy Holmes)
Duran Duran will once again take the stage for a special Halloween show, this time in London.
The band just announced that their Danse Macabre Halloween Party will be happening Oct. 31 at The O2, London, promising fans a show “packed with twisted hits, unexpected deep cuts and rarely played treasures resurrected from the Duran Duran crypt.” Duran Duran is encouraging fans to dress up for the show and get in the spirit of the holiday.
A VIP presale for tickets kicks off Wednesday, with tickets going on sale to the general public Friday at 10 a.m. BST.
This will be the band’s first Halloween show in London. They first headlined a Halloween show in Las Vegas in 2022, which went on to inspire their 2023 spooky-themed album, Danse Macabre. They then went on to headline Halloween shows at New York’s Madison Square Garden and Manchester’s Co-op Live in 2024 and 2025, respectively.
The Halloween show will be the final night of an already announced Duran Duran U.K. tour, which launches Oct. 15 in Glasgow, Scotland. A complete list of dates can be found at DuranDuran.com.
Duran Duran headlined BST Hyde Park in London on Saturday where, according to setlist.fm, they were joined by Nile Rodgers for “Notorious” and their latest single, “Free to Love.” The rest of the set featured iconic Duran Duran tunes, including “A View to a Kill,” “Hungry Like The Wolf,” “The Reflex,” “Ordinary World,” “The Wild Boys,” and “Rio,” among others.
ACM new male artist of the year Tucker Wetmore got a “Sunburn” last winter that’s fueling his vision for his sophomore album.
His latest track, titled “Sunburn,” is so far the only new music he’s released since his debut album. For Tucker, the new track had timing on its side.
“I’m a sucker for feel-good songs, and a couple of my buddies actually wrote it while I was out in the islands and they sent it to me,” he recalls. “And I’m like, ‘This feels like the summertime,’ you know? I was in the islands in December so I was feeling all the summertime feelings.”
If you’re wondering what to expect from the follow-up to What Not To, which boasts his number ones “Brunette,” “3,2,1” and “Wind Up Missing’ You,” Tucker says “Sunburn” is a pretty good indication of what’s to come.
“I love the song and it’s very much in the direction of where my music is going in this next project that I’m working on, you know, sonically and lyrically and everything,” he explains. “It just, it fit super well and we got it done, right in time for summer.”
Tucker’s playing lots of fairs and festivals this summer. The next date on the Brunette Tour is coming up July 18 in Indianapolis, with more to follow closer to fall.
