Dan + Shay are hitting the road this fall for the first time since 2024.
The Young Tour sets out Sept. 11 from Noblesville, Indiana, and wraps Nov. 7 in Mountain View, California. The 26-date itinerary focuses on the U.S., with a single Canadian date Oct. 1 in Toronto.
In an interesting twist, only Tyler Hubbard will open that show, while Canadian Josh Ross will open the previous one by himself Sept. 26 in Uncasville, Connecticut. Josh and Tyler will both be on the rest of the dates.
The trek is named for the pair’s new album, Young, which comes out Aug. 21.
Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney delivered the debut performance of their hit “Say So” during Sunday’s ACM Awards in Las Vegas.
Presales for The Young Tour start Tuesday, before tickets become available to the public on Friday.
Dan + Shay haven’t been on tour since 2024’s Heartbreak on the Map run.

(DOUGLAS COUNTY, Colo.) — Colorado public health officials are investigating the death of an adult resident as a result of hantavirus.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and the Douglas County Health Department said the death is not linked to the outbreak on the MV Hondius cruise ship, which led to 11 confirmed and probable cases, including two confirmed deaths and one suspected death.
The individual lived in Douglas County — located just south of Denver — but information about the patient’s name, age and sex were not immediately available.
Health officials said the individual was infected by the Sin Nombre hantavirus, which is the most common cause of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) in North America.
HPS symptoms typically appear from one to eight weeks after contact with the virus, with early signs including fever, fatigue and muscle aches, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Half of HPS patients will experience headaches, chills, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain.’
Between four and 10 days after the initial phase of illness, symptoms including coughing, shortness of breath and tightness in the chest can emerge, the CDC said, adding that a patient’s lungs can fill with fluid.
“Hantavirus infections caused by the Sin Nombre hantavirus occur regularly in Colorado, usually in the spring and summer, and can cause a severe and sometimes deadly respiratory disease,” according to public health officials. “In Colorado, the deer mouse is the rodent species that most commonly exposes people to the virus. Avoiding exposure to rodents and their urine, feces, saliva, and nesting materials is the best way to prevent infection.”
According to the CDC, there were six cases of Hantavirus in Colorado from 2020 to 2023.

If you watched Sir Paul McCartney’s performances on Saturday Night Live on May 16, you may have thought that his female backup singer looked familiar. Well, she should have: It was Ingrid Michaelson.
“The Way I Am” singer has explained on Instagram how she got that gig. “I got a call on a monday [May 11] to fill in in Sir Paul Mccartney’s band for that Saturday for @nbcsnl and proceeded to have 6 days of ‘what is my life????’” she writes.
“What an honor it has been to be inside this music that has shaped me. his band and crew and team are all as lovely as he,” she continues. “[A]nd he is lovely. just as you’d imagine. even lovelier i’d say. I will never forget these 6 days for the rest of my life. I wish my father could see me now. he’d be prouder than punch.”
Ingrid backed the Beatles legend on his new song, “Days Gone By,” as well as the Wings classic “Band on the Run” and his 1980 single “Coming Up.”
Ingrid’s most recent album, For the Dreamers, came out in 2024. That year, the Broadway musical The Notebook, for which she wrote the music and lyrics, premiered on Broadway and received three Tony nominations.
Ingrid is launching her Cozy Fall Trio tour on Oct. 9 in Tucson, Arizona, during which she will sing with Allie Moss and Hannah Winkler.

Bette Midler is set to lend her voice to Netflix’s upcoming animated film Steps, which reimagines the classic fairy tale Cinderella.
Midler will voice Cinderella’s Fairy Godmother in the flick, which will also feature the voices of Amanda Seyfried as Cinderella and Ali Wong and Stephanie Hsu as her evil stepsisters Lilith and Margot.
“The beloved Fairy Godmother, the wholesome Fairy Godmother — the one with all the good intentions — has been around for a long, long time,” says Midler. “This particular version of the Fairy Godmother has good intentions, but she’s a little bit of a bumbler, and she’s a little bit of a schemer.”
She adds, “I’m thrilled to be part of this film! And I’m thrilled to be with this cast!”
The film reimagines the relationship between Cinderella and her stepsisters, who have to team up to save their kingdom after Lilith’s actions at the Royal Ball put their kingdom under the tyrannical rule of the villainous Priscilla, who has taken over the throne.
The film’s director Alyce Tzue notes, “This story is, at its core, about two very different sisters — one who fits perfectly into this fairy tale kingdom and one who doesn’t — realizing they’re more alike than different.”

(NEW YORK) — The judge overseeing Luigi Mangione’s state murder case ruled Monday that certain evidence seized from his backpack during a search at the Pennsylvania McDonald’s where he was arrested must be suppressed, while evidence seized at the stationhouse in Altoona, Pennsylvania — including the alleged murder weapon — will be allowed.
New York Judge Gregory Carro determined Mangione’s backpack was not in a “grabbable area” while he was detained by Altoona police in the McDonald’s.
“The search of the backpack at the McDonald’s was an improper warrantless search,” Carro said.
“Therefore, the evidence found during the search of the backpack at the McDonald’s must be suppressed, including the magazine, cellphone, passport, wallet and computer chip,” he said.
Carro decided the subsequent search of the backpack at the stationhouse “as a valid inventory search,” so the items discovered there, including the alleged 3D-printed gun used, a notebook and handwritten slips of paper with purported escape routes, will be allowed at trial.
Prosecutors have said Mangione’s notebook entries speak to motive.
“The target is insurance,” one entry said. “It checks every box.”
Certain statements Mangione made to Altoona officers will be suppressed, including his response when he was asked why he had initially given a false name.
Statements Mangione made to two Pennsylvania corrections officers are allowed, including a wide-ranging conversation about healthcare, overseas travel and literature. Mangione asked one of the officers how he was being perceived in the media for his alleged crime and expressed a desire to make a public statement.
Mangione attended Monday’s hearing wearing a dark suit. He sat at the defense table as two court officers stood behind him. A small group of Mangione’s supporters, some in “Free Luigi” shirts, watched from the back rows.
Mangione’s state trial is scheduled to begin on Sept. 8 for the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, and Carro’s decision will help define the contours of the high-profile criminal trial.
Defense lawyers have argued that the search of the backpack without a warrant violated Mangione’s rights, and have repeatedly urged Carro to block prosecutors from using the evidence.
“At the hearing, Altoona law enforcement officers repeatedly attempted to justify their warrantless search of Mr. Mangione’s backpack … instead, all these officers demonstrated was an utter disregard for a defendant’s constitutional rights and a shocking ignorance of basic search and seizure caselaw,” Mangione’s attorneys wrote in a state court filing.
Lawyers from the Manhattan district attorney’s office pushed back on those claims, arguing the officers acted “in deliberate and painstaking fashion” when they searched the backpack.
“At every step, the Altoona officers responded to this unexpected and alarming situation reasonably,” Assistant District Attorney Joel Seidemann wrote in a court filing, adding that officers later obtained a warrant for the bag “establishing an independent source for recovering the backpack’s contents.”
Mangione pleaded not guilty to state and federal charges after he was arrested for allegedly gunning down Thompson, a husband and father of two, on a Midtown Manhattan street in December 2024.
As Mangione prepares for his upcoming state trial in September, his supporters continue to fund part of his legal defense. Earlier this month, on Mangione’s 28th birthday, his legal defense fund surpassed $1.5 million.

The Smashing Pumpkins have announced a U.S. tour celebrating the 30th anniversary of their 1995 album, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.
The trek, dubbed The Rats in a Cage tour after the lyric from the song “Bullet with Butterfly Wings,” will kick off Sept. 30 in Columbus, Ohio, and concludes Nov. 12 in Los Angeles.
Each show will consist of two sets. The first will feature a full-album performance of Mellon Collin and the Infinite Sadness, and the second will include songs from throughout the Pumpkins’ four-decade career.
“Staging a Mellon Collie-themed show is something we’ve discussed for over a decade, and finally the stars have aligned and exactly on the terms I’d set: which was to build a special night around its most enduring aspirations and ideas,” frontman Billy Corgan says in a statement.
Presales begin Tuesday at 10 a.m. local time, and tickets go on sale to the general public on Thursday at 10 a.m. local time. For the full list of dates and all ticket info, visit SmashingPumpkins.com.
Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness marked the third Pumpkins album and spawned the singles “Bullet with Butterfly Wings,” “1979,” “Tonight, Tonight” and “Zero.” It’s been certified Diamond by the RIAA, signifying 10 million units certified.
The Pumpkins teased the tour announcement with a livestreamed concert Sunday, which served as a “funeral” for Corgan’s “Zero” character.

(WASHINGTON) — U.S. Rep. James Clyburn, the longtime Black representative from South Carolina whose seat could be at stake in mid-decade congressional redistricting, told ABC News that he sees the redrawing of congressional seats held by Black lawmakers as part of a larger history of discrimination and disenfranchisement against Black Americans.
“I don’t know why it’s so hard for people to understand this. The country is attempting what I call ‘Jim Crow 2.0.’ It’s just that simple,” Clyburn said.
Some experts have told ABC News that the redistricting in the South could wipe out up to a third of seats in Congress held by African American legislators, and Black lawmakers have been expressing similar concerns ever since the mid-decade redistricting push by Republicans kicked off last year.
Republicans have argued that they are redrawing congressional maps to comply with the Supreme Court or to remedy unfairly-drawn districts, and that the districts that could be changed may still elect Black representatives to Congress.
But Clyburn told ABC News that if the focus remains solely on redistricting, the bigger picture is being missed.
“When I released the book [“The First Eight”], and that’s the whole thing my book was about. I think a lot of people thought I was just whistling Dixie. But no,this is real. It’s as real as anything can be. And we got to come to grips with that. So it’s not just about congressional districts. It’s affirmative action, closing colleges and universities to ordinary Blacks, it’s about we’re not able to get a job in the federal government, state government,” Clyburn said.
“They want to take away federal jobs in the federal government, remove that protection … getting rid of any kind of diversity and inclusion. So this is a very comprehensive thing.”
Clyburn was first elected to the House of Representatives in 1992, the first Black member of Congress from South Carolina in a century, after previously teaching high school history and being involved in political activism.
He spoke with ABC News just hours before South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster announced Thursday evening in an executive order that he would call the state legislature in for an “extra” session to consider mid-decade redistricting.
McMaster’s announcement came amid other states redrawing maps after the Supreme Court’s recent ruling against Louisiana’s congressional map. It also came just two days after, even in the face of pressure from President Donald Trump, the state Senate rejected a key bill that would have let the legislature consider mid-decade redistricting even after formally adjourning.
However, that specific, specialized bill needed a two-thirds majority to pass. In the extra session, a bill that could redraw the congressional map would only need a simple majority.
In a statement celebrating McMaster’s announcement, South Carolina Republican Party Chair Drew McKissick wrote, “Thanks to the Supreme Court ruling, Republicans have an opportunity to get this done, and we should maximize it. Now is the time for lawmakers to stand with President Trump, defend the Constitution, and finish the job.”
Clyburn, speaking before the special session became official, told ABC News he saw the Supreme Court’s decision in Louisiana vs. Callais, which struck down Louisiana’s congressional map, as the continuation of a long line of other Supreme Court decisions he sees as detrimental – including the Citizens United v FEC ruling that unleashed billions of dollars from corporations, labor unions and other groups into American campaigns as a protected form of free speech; as well as the Dred Scott decision, which in 1857 held that Black Americans could never be citizens.
The Fourteenth Amendment, ratified 11 years after Dred Scott, was drafted to repudiate that decision and to prevent the creation of a hereditary class of noncitizens within the United States.
“I’ve been saying this about five or six years. Back when the Supreme Court made a decision … a lot of people look at me like I was some drunken sailor,” Clyburn said. “I said, when the Supreme Court handed down the decision in the so-called Citizens United case, and that is when they created dark money. And I said at the time, I said, this Supreme Court decision will take its place along — will compete with Dred Scott as one of the worst decisions ever made by the Supreme Court.”
“Now, people couldn’t see what I was saying at the time, but I’ve been studying history all my life. And when I saw that [Citizens United] decision, I knew that the foundation was being laid for taking over this country,’’ Clyburn said.
But Clyburn told ABC News that despite all of that, he does have hope for the nation’s future.
“I’m a South Carolinian. Do you know what our state motto is? ‘While I breathe, I hope.’ I’m a real South Carolinian. Breathing and hoping,” he said.

R.E.M. hit #1 with their seventh studio album, Out of Time. The record, their first-ever #1, spent two weeks atop the Billboard 200 Albums chart, and 109 weeks on the chart overall.
Out of Time’s success was aided by two hit singles: “Losing My Religion,” which peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became the band’s highest charting single, and “Shiny Happy People,” featuring The B-52’s Kate Pierson, which peaked at #10.
Out of Time would go on to sell over four million copies in the U.S. and earn R.E.M. three Grammys, including best alternative music album, and two for “Losing My Religion.”
In 2017, “Losing My Religion” was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. In 2020, it became the first R.E.M. video to reach one billion views on YouTube.

Selena Gomez is moving deeper into Oscar territory.
After appearing in the Oscar-winning film Emilia Pérez, Varietyreports that Selena will star in a new movie from Brady Corbet, director of the Oscar-winning film The Brutalist. Also starring is Oscar winner Cate Blanchett and Oscar nominee Michael Fassbender.
ABC Audio has reached out to Selena’s reps.
Plot details for the film are still under wraps. Last year, Brady toldThe Hollywood Reporter that his next film would be “an X-rated movie” that “takes place mostly in the 1970s,” adding that it also “spans from the 19th century into the present day.” He added, “The film is really, really genre-defying.”
Over the years, Selena has been nominated multiple times for a Golden Globe Award, and has also received nominations for an Emmy and a BAFTA. She’s also won an Actor Award, formerly known as a SAG Award, and shared a Cannes Film Festival award for best actress with her Emilia Pérez co-stars.
Noah Kahan’s new album The Great Divide is making great strides on top of the chart.
The new album from the “Stick Season” singer is spending a third week at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart. It’s the first rock album to spend that many weeks on top since 2013, when Noah’s friends Mumford & Sons spent five weeks on top with Babel.
But when it comes to solo artists, Noah’s feat is even more impressive: The last rock album by a solo artist to top the charts for that long was Sleep Through the Static by Jack Johnson, back in 2008.
Noah’s project counts as a rock album because it is eligible for and charted on Billboard’s Top Rock Albums chart. The songs from the album have also appeared on Billboard’s various pop charts, as well as the Hot 100.
On his Instagram Story, Noah complained that he’d just gotten his “a** kicked” on the soccer field by a “bunch of 47-year-old guys.” But, he noted, “Third week at #1 on the Billboard 200! So, y’know, all is well. I’ll take that. Very, very grateful. Very excited, can’t believe I’m still at #1. It’s f****** crazy.”
“You guys are amazing,” he continued. “It’s all ’cause of you guys streaming and buying s*** and just being dope. So I love you, still grateful … thank you so much.”
He added that he’ll have to “hit the treadmill” this week to get back into “soccer shape.”
