Grateful Dead ‘Fillmore Auditorium, San Francisco, CA (7/3/66)’ (Rhino Entertainment)
Grateful Dead is offering up another preview of their upcoming live album, Fillmore Auditorium, San Francisco, CA (7/3/66).
The band has just released a performance of the track “Viola Lee Blues,” from The Dead’s 1967 self-titled debut album. This is the second song they’ve released from the Fillmore concert, following “Cold Rain and Snow.”
“The Grateful Dead’s first big jamming vehicle, ‘Viola Lee Blues’ is heard here in one of its first live performances,” says Dead archivist David Lemieux. “The song only stuck around from 1966 to 1970, but it always hit several intensely psychedelic peaks, as you’ll hear here.”
Fillmore Auditorium, San Francisco, CA (7/3/66) will be released digitally and as a two-CD set on July 3, on the 60th anniversary of the concert, which took place seven months after the band changed their name from the Warlocks. It will also be released as a three-LP set, its first time ever on vinyl, limited to 6,600 copies. The vinyl release is available exclusively at Dead.net.
The Fillmore performance was part of legendary promoter Bill Graham’s Independence Ball, with the band at the time made up of Jerry Garcia, Bill Kreutzmann, Phil Lesh, Ron “Pigpen” McKernan and Bob Weir.
The concert was previously available in 2015 as part of the 50th anniversary boxed set, 30 Trips Around the Sun.

You’ll have to wait about a month longer to hear the new Strokes album, Reality Awaits.
The upcoming seventh studio effort from Julian Casablancas and company is now set to drop on July 24 after being pushed back from its original June 26 release date.
Reality Awaits marks the first Strokes record since 2020’s The New Abnormal. It includes the singles “Going Shopping” and “Falling Out of Love.”
The Strokes will launch a U.S. tour Friday with a set at Bonnaroo. They’ve also just announced a hometown New York City show at Flushing Meadows Corona Park taking place Oct. 2.
Guitarist Nick Valensi will be absent from an indeterminate amount of shows, as he’s “taking a temporary break” from touring.

Cole Swindell’s bringing his heartbreak and his happiness together in his new song, “Girl Dad.”
“If my Dad could see me now I’d like to think he’d be proud of where I am in life,” he posted on Instagram. “Especially these last few years. If I could update him on what it all looks like these days…What would I say?”
The message includes what appears to be the beginning of the music video for the song, as Cole’s bus stops at the cemetery where his father is buried.
Cole’s dad died unexpectedly in 2013, inspiring his 2015 smash “You Should Be Here.”
“I met a girl, Dad, I told her I loved her/ We got married up in California,” he sings in another clip. “Sunset on her white dress, God it was beautiful/ We saved a cold one and a chair for ya/ And I know you’re looking down from up there, I believe it/ And I just wish that I could see you see this/ A little black and white picture that I wanted so bad to tell you in person/ We’re having a girl, Dad.”
Cole married Courtney Little in June 2024 and they welcomed their daughter, Rainey Gail Swindell, in August 2025.
You’ll be able to hear “Girl Dad” in its entirety on June 19.

RAYE’s current album, This Music May Contain Hope, came out in March, but she’s already planning her next record. She’s even got the title, but the songs will have to wait a bit.
As Billboardreports, while doing a one-off show at New York’s famed Blue Note jazz club, RAYE didn’t perform her hit “Where Is My Husband!” because she said she woke up feeling too “single,” so she didn’t want to sing it. She then announced that the name of her third album will be And Then She Fell In Love, but added, “In protest … I’m not writing a single song for this album until that moment finds me.”
In other words, she doesn’t want to write any songs until she falls in love.
“It’s just gonna be ‘love, love, love’ and I’m excited for that time,” she continued. “But it’s not yet. I’ve also decided that I’m not gonna write a third album about ‘this guy sucks,’ ‘this guy gave up on me’ … I’m done with that era! We’re going to look forward to a nice, positive chapter.”
She also advised fans, “Just do not date rappers. That’s what I’ll say to that. What a delusional person I was.”
RAYE will receive the Hal David Starlight Award at the Songwriters Hall of Fame induction gala Thursday in New York. It’s an award given to young songwriters who are making an impact with their work. At the same event, Taylor Swift, a past winner of the Starlight Award, is being inducted into the Hall of Fame, making her the first artist ever to receive both those honors.
Three Days Grace has premiered the video for “Don’t Wanna Go Home Tonight,” a track off the band’s latest album, 2025’s Alienation.
In contrast to the song’s title, the video finds the Canadian rockers returning to their hometown of Asphodel-Norwood, Ontario, cut with throwback footage and photos of the band members growing up.
You can watch the “Don’t Wanna Go Home Tonight” video streaming now on YouTube.
Alienation marked 3DG’s first album since original frontman Adam Gontier returned to the band in 2024, forming a two-singer lineup alongside longtime vocalist Matt Walst. It also includes the singles “Mayday,” “Apologies” and “Kill Me Fast.”
Three Days Grace will launch a U.S. tour in continued support of Alienation in October.

(BELFAST, Northern Ireland) — Extra officers from the U.K. are being deployed to Northern Ireland on Thursday following another night of violent unrest over an alleged knife attack by an immigrant suspect.
Scotland will send 90 officers to Northern Ireland to support an additional 200 officers from across the U.K. that were deployed to the region after protesters allegedly set fire to cars, properties and other outdoor objects, pelted cops with projectiles and harassed immigrant healthcare workers on Wednesday, according to investigators and local leaders.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said Thursday that 16 people have been arrested this week in connection with the back-to-back nightly protests in Belfast and other towns. They are looking for more suspects connected to the violent demonstrations.
Assistant Chief Constable Ryan Henderson told reporters that 12 officers were injured during Wednesday night’s incidents, including some who were allegedly struck by Molotov cocktails and other projectiles.
Officers had to use a water cannon to disperse some of the crowds.
“Our communities in Northern Ireland deserve to get their lives back to normal. Yesterday, businesses shut their doors, trains were not running and we saw schools closing early due to fear. This is the impact these thugs are having,” he said.
As the destruction and chaos continued on the streets, the family of the victim of Monday’s stabbing attack at the center of the riots pleaded for calmness and tolerance.
The family of Stephen Ogilvie, who is in stable condition following the attack, released a statement Wednesday saying they were “feeling disgusted” by the images of the violent protests.
“We want to make it absolutely clear that to do this in response is not supported by our family, and peaceful protest is only ever the way forward,” the family said.
A Sudanese immigrant allegedly attacked Ogilvie with a knife around 10:30 p.m. Monday near Kinnaird Avenue before he was subdued by nearby pedestrians and arrested by the police.
The victim “suffered serious injuries to his eyes and slash-wound injuries to his back and face,” police said.
The 30-year-old suspect was charged with attempted murder, possession of an article with blade or point in a public place and threats to kill. The investigation is ongoing.
The protests that have broken out since the attack have been pushing anti-immigrant rhetoric and have caused disturbances across Northern Ireland, according to the police.
In one incident on Wednesday, 20 masked protesters allegedly blocked the road and threw projectiles at officers and in another incident in Portadown, demonstrators attacked a property for hours, according to PSNI.
During the demonstrations, some protesters allegedly harassed immigrant healthcare workers who were on their way to and from their work, according to police.
UNISON Northern Ireland, the union representing healthcare workers, said in a statement it had received reports this week of workers being followed, stopped by people to check their identities and intimidated in their homes.
“They are care workers, nurses, classroom assistants and a host of other occupations delivering key public services. They are here because our government and public services invited them to fill the critical shortages in these vital services. The hypocrisy of those behind the hate campaign is stunning,” UNISON said in a statement Wednesday.
Henderson said he was meeting with UNISON members on Thursday and also shared his support for the healthcare workers.
“They are the backbone of our public service. They are caring for our family, friends and loved ones in our communities. We are here to support them. In the same way they support us,” he said.
Ogilvie’s family also expressed support for Northern Ireland’s immigrants and healthcare workers.
“We have many migrants who make a deeply valuable contribution to our country, including from within our healthcare system and hospitality sector, and we depend on them to make our country work. We do not want this terrible tragedy to be used to divide people or fuel hostility — do not do this in the name of our loved one as we do not share the same values,” they said.
Outside of the unrest on the streets, police have also been working to combat a flood of misinformation about the knife attack and protests circulating on social media sites that are being promoted by anti-immigrant groups and figures.
Ogilvie’s family also condemned those who spread misinformation about the attack and protests.
“If you know anything at all about the attack, or saw anything strange near Kinnaird Avenue, please go to the police and stop sharing false information on social media, as it is deeply distressing,” they said.
Henderson urged the public to heed the family’s request.
“They could not be more clear that violence is not in Stephen’s name,” he said.

Wu-Tang Clan hyped the crowd at Madison Square Garden Wednesday night as the New York Knicks were down 76-49 at halftime against the visiting San Antonio Spurs.
The hip-hop legends reunited on the court at halftime, dressed in their Knicks gear and performing a medley of “Bring da Ruckus,” “Method Man” and “C.R.E.A.M.”
Perhaps the performance was just the energy the team needed: they went on to make history, overcoming a 29-point deficit to defeat the Spurs 107-106 in Game 4. The comeback marked the largest in NBA Finals history.
But if you hear A$AP Rocky tell it, he’d say he deserves the credit. “We was down by like 20,” Rocky said in a post-game interview. “It’s because of me, I’m the good luck charm. I was up there cheering from the box, going crazy. Thank me later.”
Even Fat Joe claimed a role in the comeback, telling Stephen A. Smith his “humpty dumpty” move contributed to Spurs player Victor Wembanyama missing two crucial free throws.
Game 5 is set for Saturday.
Meanwhile, Wu-Tang will resume the Final Chamber tour in August. They will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in December.
Dolly Parton single-handedly taught the world that “a cup of ambition” is code for coffee.
Now, the phrase from her 1980 crossover hit, “9 to 5,” is officially becoming java as Dolly launches her own brand with Baton Rogue’s Community Coffee.
“I’ve spent a lifetime workin’ 9 to 5, 5 to 9, and every hour in between!” she says in a news release. “It takes a lot of energy to pursue your passion and navigate each day. That’s why I wanted to make a coffee that works just as hard.”
“You know, I begin each morning with a head full of dreams, a notepad full of ideas, and a cup or two of coffee,” Dolly continues. “Whether you’re chasing dreams, tackling that to-do list, or just enjoying a quiet morning at home, I hope it brings a smile with every sip.”
The superstar worked with the Saurage family, Community Coffee’s founders, to develop light, medium and dark roasts.
You’ll be able to get your first taste of Cup of Ambition June 24 at the opening of Dolly’s Tennessean Travel Stop, at Exit 22 off I-65 south of Nashville.
It’ll be available as ground coffee and K-Cups later this year. You can sign up to be among the first to know at CupOfAmbition.com.

(GENEVA) — The World Health Organization said on Thursday that the risk of Ebola transmission in Europe and World Cup host countries is low as the tournament gets ready to kick off across the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
Dr Hans Henri P. Kluge, WHO’s regional director for Europe, said in a statement that there are currently no Ebola cases in North America or Europe amid an outbreak spreading in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The DRC has recorded 676 confirmed cases as of Thursday morning, according to DRC’s minister of health. In Uganda, there are 19 confirmed cases — many of them travel-related — and two deaths, the country’s health officials said.
Kluge made reference to an Ebola patient who was treated in the European Region after being evacuated from the outbreak region.
An American physician, Dr. Peter Stafford, tested positive for Ebola after being exposed while treating patients at Nyankunde Hospital. Stafford, a medical missionary with the mission organization Serge, was transferred to Germany and treated at Berlin’s Charite University Hospital.
His wife, Dr. Rebekah Stafford, and their four children were also transferred to the same hospital, where they were monitored in quarantine for 21 days as high-risk contacts.
Last week, the family was released from the hospital after Dr. Peter Stafford had no symptoms for more than 72 hours and a negative result in repeated PCR tests, Serge said.
“There is no reason to change your plans. Travel as normal, stay informed and enjoy the tournament,” Kluge said.
Kluge said there are several reasons why the risk is low in other countries: most cases are in remote areas of the DRC, Ebola is not an airborne illness and it is spread through direct contact with the bodily fluids of a sick person.
Additionally, screening is in place before travel is allowed from affected regions and people are only infectious once visibly ill, according to Kluge.
The CDC has temporarily restricted entry to the U.S. for certain travelers who were recently in the DRC, Uganda or South Sudan. Currently, U.S. citizens and nationals may still enter but will undergo enhanced public health screenings.
Kludge said the WHO does not recommend travel restrictions, “though if you don’t have to travel to the affected areas in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or Uganda, it is safer not to.”
He added that it’s important to challenge the stigma associated with Ebola patients and those from affected regions or African communities.
“The spread of Ebola is not determined by nationality or ethnicity,” he said. “Stigma discourages people from seeking care and can make outbreaks harder to control. Stay informed, rely on trusted sources and treat others with understanding. With common sense and compassion, we can keep both people and the game safe.”
