After a weekend of speculation sparked by mysterious billboards in Phoenix and other major cities, the wait is over: My Chemical Romance has officially announced new live dates across North America to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their landmark third album. “The Black Parade 2026” tour will bring the band to stadiums across North America, the UK, and Europe next year.
Among the tour stops is a highly anticipated show in Phoenix, AZ, where My Chemical Romance will perform at Chase Field on September 6, 2026, joined by Jimmy Eat World, a hometown favorite.
The pairing highlights a long-running connection between the two bands, who first toured together in Australia in 2005 and have since appeared on the same lineups at numerous festivals, including multiple years at When We Were Young Festival. Their parallel trajectory underscores a shared legacy in shaping the alternative and emo scenes, and brings added resonance to what promises to be a standout night for Arizona fans.
Tickets for all dates on the “Black Parade 2026” tour go on sale Friday, September 26 at 12:00 pm local time on Ticketmaster.
The announcement confirms what fans suspected when they spotted the cryptic Keposhka glyphs and teaser images on billboards in Phoenix, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New York, and Nashville: My Chemical Romance is marching back, bigger than ever.

Phoenix has become one of several U.S. cities to receive cryptic signs from My Chemical Romance. Fans began spotting billboards today near Chase Field and outside Tempe Marketplace, featuring the band’s distinctive Keposhka glyphs.
Meanwhile, in other cities (including Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New York City, and Nashville ) fans have captured this signage, as well as teaser billboards with images of the band in their Black Parade uniforms, sparking a wave of speculation across Reddit and fan communities.
For Arizona fans, the excitement is especially intense. My Chemical Romance last performed in Tempe in 2008 at the Tempe Music Festival. A planned return in 2011 was canceled after the band joined The Sound Strike, a coalition of artists boycotting Arizona in protest of the controversial SB 1070 immigration law. That cancellation has made the wait for MCR’s return feel all the more torturous — or expensive, for those who’ve had to travel out of state to see them live.
While no official announcement has been made, the coordinated rollout has many convinced that My Chemical Romance is preparing to unveil more U.S. dates for 2025. The buzz follows hints dropped during the band’s last run of shows that “there was more to come.”
With sightings spanning multiple cities, anticipation is mounting that fans nationwide may soon get their chance to march again.
Out September 19th on LP, CD, and Cassette via Org Music
“A foundational classic of snotty melodic hardcore.” – Stereogum
Few records in punk history have left as massive a footprint as the Descendents’ Milo Goes to College. The 1982 debut fused the aggression of hardcore with catchy hooks, adolescent angst, and unmistakable personality — helping spark an entire genre now known as pop punk. Its influence remains undeniable over four decades later, earning spots on Rolling Stone’s list of the “40 Greatest Punk Albums of All Time,” Spin’s “50 Most Essential Punk Records,” and Pitchfork’s “200 Best Albums of the 1980s.”
Now, Descendents and Org Music are proud to announce the long-awaited reissue of Milo Goes to College, available September 19th on LP, CD, and cassette.
Reclaimed by the band and lovingly restored, this release marks the beginning of an extensive reissue campaign that will include the band’s foundational albums from their early years, originally released on New Alliance and SST Records.
Among them is a stunning limited “Punk Note” edition featuring alternate packaging by John Yates (Stealworks), inspired by the iconic jazz designs of Reid Miles and Francis Wolff. This visual reimagining of punk classics continues the aesthetic series that began with Org Music’s Bad Brains reissues.
The reissue will be available in the following variants:
WIDELY AVAILABLE FORMATS:
Descendents – ‘Milo Goes to College’ standard album art
Black LP
“Grey Matter” LP
Punk Note Edition (black vinyl)
CD
Cassette
LIMITED/EXCLUSIVE VARIANTS:
Descendents – ‘Milo Goes to College’ punk note album art
Punk Note Edition (silver vinyl) — Org Music exclusive
“Suspended Gold” LP — Descendents Exclusive
Pink LP — Zia Records exclusive
Smoke LP — Rough Trade exclusive
“Statue of Liberty” LP — Going Underground Records & Seasick Records exclusive
Black LP with Exclusive Obi Strip — Celebrated Summer Records
More classics are on the way. The reissue campaign will continue with I Don’t Want to Grow Up, Enjoy!, ALL, Bonus Fat, and more — each reissued under the band’s own control and vision.
This project isn’t just about nostalgia — it’s about preservation, intention, and giving a new generation access to one of punk’s most influential catalogs.

“The most political thing we can do right now is love. Love ourselves and love each other,” says Kesha. “Americans need to have more safe, consensual sex. Our administration is so disembodied and disconnected. I’m going TITS OUT this summer to bring as much safety, fun, acceptance, love, connection, and celebration to this country because we are just as much the fabric of this FREE nation as anyone else. We will not be quiet, and we will fight through joy! I think it’s time to make LOVE, not content. LOVE, not anger. LOVE, not hatred, and love, not war.
I’m committed to bringing my newfound freedom to a city near you. A celebration is in order. I have partnered with Feeld, a dating app for open-minded people, in order to bring our sexually liberated selves and give us a place to flirt, meet, connect, and dance.
Color-coded options will be available soon, but this summer wear RED if you are single, horny, and down to flirt!
Let’s fight chaos with love, so let’s see how much love we can bring to the summer of 2025.
And along the way, I’m looking for a sugar daddy, so if you bring a tall, hot, single friend, you get extra animal points.
Let’s help each other find some love and connection this summer.
Let’s go tits out!”
Fans can sign up now for access to presale tickets beginning Tuesday, April 8 at 10 am (local) at keshaofficial.com and scissorsisters.com. Additional presales will run throughout the week. All remaining tickets will be available through a general onsale on Thursday, April 10 at 10 am (local). For complete details, please visit keshaofficial.com/tour.
“We are stoked to extend our reunion to the US and Canada this summer alongside Kesha,” says Scissor Sisters. “There has always been a bit of anarchy and chaos to both of our live shows – and we can’t wait to bring that ‘anything can happen’ energy across North America again.”

Kesha’s Upcoming Album: .(PERIOD)
The Tits Out Tour heralds the hugely anticipated release of Kesha’s long awaited new album, . (PERIOD), arriving at last Independence Day, Friday, July 4 on her own Kesha Records. Pre-orders/pre-saves are available now.
. (PERIOD) – which arrives exactly one year since Kesha returned on her own terms with 2024’s smash comeback hit, “JOYRIDE” – was first unveiled last month with the premiere of the thrilling new single, “YIPPEE-KI-YAY. (Feat. T-Pain),” available now at all DSPs and streaming services. Produced by Pink Slip (Ava Max, Jason Derulo) and Nova Wav (Rihanna, Beyoncé), the track is joined by an official visualizer, premiering today via YouTube.
WATCH “YIPPEE KIYAY (FEAT. T-PAIN)” OFFICIAL LYRIC VIDEO
Kesha’s sixth studio album, . (PERIOD) – yes, it’s just a period. – is an unapologetic, unfiltered declaration of artistic freedom and fearless authenticity from the 2x GRAMMY® Award-nominated pop icon. Conceived, co-produced and co-written by Kesha, the 11-song collection transcends pop norms to create a raw, daring, and intensely personal sonic journey, a defiant act of self-expression that refuses to adhere to expectations or play it safe. More than just a new album, . (PERIOD) is Kesha at her most powerful best, turning her experiences into vibrant, audacious art with a spiked heel at the neck of pop culture.
Among its many exhilarating highlights, . (PERIOD) includes 2024’s aforementioned “JOYRIDE” and the blockbuster “DELUSIONAL,” both available everywhere now. Currently boasting over 103M streams at Spotify alone, “JOYRIDE” proved a true sensation since its Independence Day 2024 release, reaching #6 on Billboard’s “Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles” and “Hot Dance/Electronic Songs” along with the top 30 on “Pop Airplay” and chart success around the world from the UK to New Zealand.
Produced by Zhone and co-written by Kesha, Zhone, and Madison Love, the track marked the triumphant first chapter of a milestone new era for Kesha, celebrating both her long overdue empowerment as an independent artist as well as a powerful sonic evolution following 2023’s critically acclaimed fifth studio album, Gag Order. Along with its popular achievement, “JOYRIDE” has been met by high-profile critical applause from the likes of Rolling Stone,Variety, and Vulture, to name only a few. Perhaps NYLON said it best: “Everything about ‘JOYRIDE’ is a trip…The original glitter-faced party animal of the 2010s is back with a fiery vengeance.”
“JOYRIDE” joined by an equally acclaimed official music video streaming now at YouTube. Directed by Dimitri Basil (Kylie Minogue, Vance Joy), Cooper Roussel (Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Miami Horror), and Laura Gorun (Joywave, Kings of Leon), the high-octane visual received wide-ranging attention from major publications and top online outlets around the globe, including Billboard, Vulture, and Rolling Stone, the latter of which raved, ““Kesha is taking her foot off the brakes and going full-speed ahead on her new video for ‘JOYRIDE.’ The video sees Kesha racing through the desert in a hot red convertible while being chased by a helicopter, gun-toting assassins, and a shirtless dude hell-bent on catching up to the pop diva.”
One of Spotify’s Top 100 Artists with close to 40M monthly listeners, Kesha will further herald the arrival of . (PERIOD) with a number of sold-out “House of Kesha” headline shows and festival dates around the globe, including a top-billed performance at London’s Mighty Hoopla pop extravaganza on June 1.

“Someone Who Can” is arguably the band’s most accessible song in their 24-year career. Frontman Claudio Sanchez remarked, “When you’re growing up, you’re perpetually trying to understand the world that’s changing around you. Over time, it’s comforting to reach the conclusion that you’ll never truly have things figured out.”
Along with the track’s release, the band shared its heartwarming video (directed by Mason Mercer) where we glimpse the early days of Coheed and Cambria in and around Nyack, New York. “Someone Who Can” follows the previously shared singles Blind Side Sonny and Searching For Tomorrow along with Claudio Covers, which arrived at the end of last year.
“The Dandy Warhols dove right into a 90-minute set of hypnotic psychedelia that collectively mesmerized the 1,500-capacity crowd at NYC’s Webster Hall.” – NYS Music
Celebrates Their 30th Anniversary With Live Shows, Parties and Events
Presale: Thursday, August 22nd (10AM local) Onsale: Friday, August 23rd (10AM local)
AUGUST 21, 2024 (Portland, OR) – “They tell me it’s been 30 years, but it feels like about six… Maybe seven,” says Courtney Taylor-Taylor of THE DANDY WARHOLS about their upcoming 30th anniversary as a band. “Well, I guess we’ve had a pretty long run.”
With a career that started in 1994 in Portland, OR, The Dandy Warhols are celebrating an impressive milestone of three decades as a band. With thirteen studio albums under their belt and countless tours crisscrossing the globe, their constantly evolving sound continues to enthrall audiences without losing steam. Their latest critically hailed album ROCKMAKER featured guests Frank Black of the Pixies, Slash of Guns N’ Roses, and Debbie Harry of Blondie and stands as one of their best-reviewed albums to date.
So, to celebrate this landmark, The Dandy Warhols have announced a string of December festivities that include live shows in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, and Tacoma, a fan party in their home studio in Portland, and a co-hosting engagement in which they will co-host as master of ceremonies for the Little Clouds Records showcase (who were responsible for the recent re-pressing of the band’s catalog)!

About The Dandy Warhols
Described by The Arts STL as “a kaleidoscope of sound and style as only The Dandy Warhols can bring with their infectious and psychedelic vibes that can’t be pigeonholed into a single genre, so don’t even try,” ROCKMAKER delivered a spellbinding album that The Spill Magazine called “a sonic evolution for The Dandy Warhols, characterized by a deliberate emphasis on guitar riffs over chords and melodies.” Vanyaland adds, “The Dandy Warhols have never been ones to fall in step, so it’s little surprise that their new LP ROCKMAKER doesn’t necessarily meet or exceed expectations as much as set its own bar.”
Their enthralling live shows continue to captivate their fanbase, allowing everyone the chance to celebrate their anniversary. On the band’s recent stop at Boston’s Royale, the Boston Globe hailed, “the band wrapped its audience in a sonic blanket that had an almost narcotic warmth at times.” Parklife DC said of their Washington, DC show, “The quartet maintained their classic psych rock roots but dove into even a grittier edge that borders on post-punk and even goth.” The Spill Magazine says about the Toronto show this past March, “The Dandy Warhols electrified the Toronto stage with a performance that exuded sheer power and badassery right from the get-go… Their unparalleled talent and chemistry create an experience unlike any other.”
The Dandy Warhols is: Courtney Taylor-Taylor (vocals, guitar), Peter Holmström (guitar, keyboards), Zia McCabe (keyboard, bass, percussion), and Brent DeBoer (drums, backing vocals).
The Dandy Warhols New Album: ROCKMAKER
Their latest album ROCKMAKER was released on March 15, 2024 via Sunset Blvd and was produced by Peter Holmström and Courtney Taylor-Taylor. Celebrated British DJ and producer Keith Tenniswood (David Holmes, Primal Scream, Rotters Golf Club) of Two Lone Swordsmen mastered the record, and acclaimed British producer Jagz Kooner (Massive Attack, Kasabian, Garbage) mixed it.
Billie Eilish continues to dominate the music scene with her unique sound and chart-topping hits. However, there are many other artists making significant strides with their new releases. Here are five mainstream artists you should definitely check out, spanning a range of genres and styles, most of who have recently released fresh tracks.
1. Sabrina Carpenter
Sabrina Carpenter has been steadily rising in the pop music scene, and her recent releases are a testament to her growth as an artist. Her fifth studio album, emails i can’t send, released on July 15, 2022, debuted at number 23 on the Billboard 200, marking her highest entry on the chart to date. The album featured singles like “Vicious” and “Nonsense,” the latter peaking at number 56 on the Hot 100 and achieving Platinum certification. Following this, she embarked on the Emails I Can’t Send tour in September 2022.
In March 2023, Carpenter released a deluxe edition of the album, with the single “Feather” becoming her highest-charting song, reaching number 21 on the Hot 100 and number one on the US Pop Songs chart. She performed at high-profile events like the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards pre-show and Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve 2023. Her involvement in Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour as the opening act for several international shows further solidified her growing stardom. Recently, she released the single “Espresso” on April 12, 2024, which became her first top-10 hit on the Hot 100, peaking at number four, coinciding with her performance at Coachella 2024.
Renee Rapp, known for her Broadway roots in Mean Girls: The Musical, has made significant strides in her music career. She recently reprised her role as Regina George in the musical film adaptation of Mean Girls, released in theaters on January 12, 2024, and on streaming on March 5, 2024. However, Rapp has expressed her intention to focus solely on her music career due to the anxiety she experienced in the acting environment.
Rapp’s debut extended play, Everything to Everyone, released in November 2022, was followed by a deluxe version in February 2023. Her debut studio album, Snow Angel, dropped on August 18, 2023, and a deluxe version with additional tracks, including a remix of “Tummy Hurts” featuring Coco Jones, was released in November 2023. She has been actively touring, with her Snow Hard Feelings tour, supported by Alexander 23 and Towa Bird, showcasing her dynamic stage presence and deep connection with her audience. Rapp’s music blends pop and R&B influences, creating a sound that is both contemporary and timeless.
WILLOW has continued to evolve her sound and artistic persona. In February 2022, she withdrew from Billie Eilish’s Happier Than Ever, The World Tour due to production limitations but quickly bounced back by featuring on Camila Cabello’s track “Psychofreak” in April 2022. Her fifth studio album, COPINGMECHANISM, released on October 7, 2022, features collaborations with Yves Tumor and showcases a bold dive into alternative rock with singles like “Maybe It’s My Fault” and “Hover Like a Goddess.”
WILLOW’s recent releases continue to push boundaries. Her first single since COPINGMECHANISM, “Alone,” came out in November 2023, followed by “Symptom of Life” in March 2024 and “Big Feelings” in April. She announced her sixth studio album, empathogen, which was released on May 4, 2024. With a unique blend of punk, metal, and introspective lyrics, WILLOW’s new work explores themes of identity and self-discovery, solidifying her place as a dynamic force in the music industry.
Chappell Roan has been steadily carving out a niche for herself with her vibrant and catchy pop tunes. After moving back to Los Angeles in 2022, Roan worked a series of odd jobs before signing a publishing deal with Sony. Her independent single “Naked in Manhattan,” released in March 2022, was praised as a “queer girl bop” by NPR, highlighting her tender and nostalgic lyrics. Following this, she joined Olivia Rodrigo’s Sour Tourand Fletcher’s Girl of My Dreams Tour, gaining significant exposure.
Roan’s subsequent releases, including “Femininomenon” and “Casual,” showcased her versatility and willingness to experiment with different sounds and themes. Her debut headlining tour, Naked in North America, in early 2023, was a hit, featuring themed stops and drag queen openers. Roan’s first full-length album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, released in September 2023, further established her as a rising star. Following the album’s release, she embarked on the Midwest Princess Tour, which saw her performing across North America and internationally. Her latest single, “Good Luck, Babe!”, released in April 2024, has already garnered significant attention, debuting at number 77 on the Billboard Hot 100 and achieving 7 million streams in its first week. Roan’s growing popularity on Spotify and high-profile performances, including at Coachella, mark her as an artist on the rise.
Olivia Rodrigo burst onto the scene with her debut single “drivers license,” and she hasn’t slowed down since. Her Disney+ documentary, Olivia Rodrigo: Driving Home 2 U, detailing the making of her debut album Sour, was released on March 25, 2022. Rodrigo received seven nominations at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards, winning Best New Artist, Best Pop Vocal Album for Sour, and Best Pop Solo Performance for “drivers license”.
Rodrigo’s second album, GUTS, released on September 8, 2023, debuted atop the Billboard 200 and was acclaimed as the most critically acclaimed album of 2023 by BBC News. The album’s lead single, “Vampire”, became her third single to debut at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, making her the first artist to debut the lead singles from two career-opening albums at No. 1 on the Hot 100. Following the success of GUTS, Rodrigo announced her GUTS World Tour, which runs from February to October 2024. She also released a deluxe version of the album, GUTS (Spilled), in March 2024. On April 13, 2024, Rodrigo made a special guest appearance at No Doubt’s Coachella show, where she performed the band’s 2000 single “Bathwater” alongside them. Rodrigo’s music continues to capture the angst and emotions of youth, solidifying her place as a pop icon for a new generation.
