Slipknot Announce North American Leg Of 'Here Comes The Pain Tour'

Slipknot Announce North American Leg Of 'Here Comes The Pain Tour'

Slipknot have announced the North American portion of their Here Comes The Pain Tour.

This year the band is celebrating the 25th anniversary of their seminal self-titled debut album, Slipknot, which catapulted the band back in 1999.

In addition to recently announced dates across the globe, the Here Comes The Pain Tour includes arena plays nationwide this Summer. Highlights include New York City's Madison Square Garden, Los Angeles' Intuit Dome, Austin's Moody Center and more with direct support from Kentucky's young and vibrant hardcore/metal forerunners, Knocked Loose.

Orbit Culture and Vended are confirmed as support on select dates.

"We loved what we did with the first record but we didn't even know if there was gonna be anything after that," recalls guitarist Jim Root. "We just wanted people to hear it.

Siouxsie Sioux Duets With Iggy Pop On New Version Of 'The Passenger'

Siouxsie Sioux Duets With Iggy Pop On New Version Of 'The Passenger'

Siouxsie Sioux has teamed up with Iggy Pop for a new rendition of "The Passenger."

The song was originally co-written and recorded by Iggy Pop for his iconic album Lust For Life, which dropped in 1977.

"The Passenger" was then re-recorded a decade later, by Siouxsie And The Banshees, for their 1987 covers album Through The Looking Glass.

Now, nearly 35 years later, Sioux and Pop teamed up to remake the song for the third time for a new advert to promote Magnum ice cream.

In the ad, an actress is seen eating an ice cream bar while riding on a train and, in the background, the new rendition of the song can be heard.

In a press statement, Pop praised Siouxsie, saying she "can sing like a bird," and adding, "I've always thought she was a great lady. Her version of the song was already special, but what happened here, singing together, is really unique. Like 'Volare,' the orchestral treatment and marriage of voices flies free, in a spirit of joy."

Siouxsie added, "I love this song, and I've always loved Iggy's voice. I adore how instinctive and spontaneous it all feels and to hear my voice with Iggy's is such a dream."

System Of A Down's Serj Tankian has announced a new solo EP Foundations.

Foundations is expected to drop this autumn and will feature the newly teased single "A.F. Day," which is due out on May 17.

"This is a song I wrote in the early days of SOAD that I never released. The majority of the instrumentation and vocals are recordings from that time. Dystopian in mood, it's a reflection of the angst and anti-authoritarian attitude I had to conformity," Tankian said about the song.

Tankian is also set to publish his debut memoir, Down With The System, via Hachette Books on May 14.

Twenty One Pilots Share Josh Dun-Directed Video For 'Backslide'

Twenty One Pilots Share Josh Dun-Directed Video For 'Backslide'

Twenty One Pilots recently released a video for "Backslide," the third single from their upcoming album Clancy.

The video, which marks the directorial debut of drummer Josh Dun, shows Tyler Joseph, dressed in black pants and a bomber jacket and t-shirt, riding around town on his red and black BMX bike.

In the visual, Joseph stops at a convenience store and dumps an empty plastic bag into a garbage can and buys a bag of hamburger buns.

He is then seen riding down a suburban street with the buns hanging from his right hand as he rap/sings, "Rat race, place to place, adding weight/ Tendencies on repeat, innit?/ Benefit from a shoe with no lace/ Take the seat with the crease in it."

He takes a bite and then tosses it aside to sing the chorus: "I don't wanna backslide to where I started from/ There's no chance I will shake this again/ 'Cause I feel the pull, water's over my head/ Strength enough for one more time."

Joseph ends his ride, pulling up to Dun's house as the drummer flips burgers on a grill, only to realize he's out of buns and has to return to the store to get another bag as the visual swallows its own tail and goes back to the beginning.

Smashing Pumpkins Name Kiki Wong As New Guitarist After Extensive Search

Smashing Pumpkins have named Kiki Wong as their new guitarist after an extensive search.

After longtime guitarist Jeff Schroeder bid good bye in October 2023, the rock band started the recruitment process, with frontman Billy Corgan calling for applications for replacement.

From more than 10,000 applications received, Corgan filtered down to a shortlist. On the basis of audition of candidates in Los Angeles, he finally picked Wong.

The veteran guitarist has shared stages with acts like Bebe Rexha, Taylor Swift, Usher, Bret Michaels, as well as with rock bands Nylon Pink, Hellfire Heart, and currently Vigil of War.

"I was a fan of Kiki's before she submitted her name to be considered - and it's great that someone of her acumen will be part of our touring family. I can't wait to hit the road with Kiki as part of our mad circus. It's definitely an exciting moment for The Smashing Pumpkins to be this busy with touring in 2024. We'll see you all this summer," Corgan said in a statement.

Wong said she is "beyond honored and humbled to be chosen to perform alongside some of rock's greatest and most influential musicians of all time."

The new Smashing Pumpkins lineup, featuring Wong, Corgan, guitarist James Iha, drummer Jimmy Chamberlin, touring members Jack Bates (bass) and Katie Cole (guitar, keys, vocals), is scheduled to make its debut with a U.K. and European Tour beginning at Utilita Arena in Birmingham on June 7.

Florence + The Machine To Perform 'Lungs' In Full At BBC Proms

Florence + The Machine To Perform 'Lungs' In Full At BBC Proms

Florence + The Machine have announced they will give a special performance of their debut album, Lungs, in celebration of the record's 15th anniversary.

The concert, titled "Symphony of Lungs," will take place on September 11th at the Royal Albert Hall in London as part of the BBC Proms classical music festival and will be aired live on BBC Radio 3.

The performance will also be recorded and broadcast later on BBC Radio 1, BBC TWO, and BBC iPlayer.

Florence Welch will perform the album in full, with backup support from Jules Buckley and his Orchestra.

"This album was such a patchwork of a period of time of my messy teenage years and early twenties," Welch said of the upcoming anniversary show in a press release. "I had no idea what I was doing or where it would go, and a lot of the songs are simply an exhalation of joy. But that's really where the sound of Florence + The Machine was born. So, to have it still be so present in people's hearts 15 years later and to be invited to play through it orchestrally at the BBC Proms is such an honour."

Welch announced the concert in a new interview with British Vogue.

"When [the invitation] came in, they were like, 'We know you're off, but would you.?' and I was like, 'Yes!'," Welch said. "The background to life in my house is classical music, and especially the more obscure things. So it's a really exciting thing to be asked to do - the Proms is just so special."

The eight-week BBC Proms festival, which is billed as the world's largest classical music festival, offers 90 concerts running from July 19th to September 14th.
