It was one of the most memorable parts of the year when we did it in 2022, so really glad they’re having us back for round 2. We’re gonna have a blast.”   First time headliner Jelly Roll also said, “Last year I got to play Stagecoach for the first time and it was incredible. And I didn’t just get to play. I got to hang out as a fan of artists I love and take my daughter to see some of the best entertainers in our format. Coming back to headline Stagecoach this year is a dream-but I’ll be attending as a fan this year as well, so get ready. See you in April.”   Fan-favorite Guy Fieri’s Stagecoach Smokehouse is back again for its sixth year to reveal new chefs, pit bosses and BBQ vendors. Guy and friends will be showcasing their pits and rigs and offering taste tests to fans throughout the weekend. “Every year I’m shocked that the Stagecoach lineup can get that much bigger and badder,” says Guy. “...so I gotta step it up and do the same for my Stagecoach Smokehouse! Come on down to the Smokehouse to see your favorite artists cookin’ it up with me and my crew. You’re not gonna wanna miss it!" Stay tuned for the full food line-up and to find out which artists Guy will be doing cooking demos with this year.   Returning to the festival for a fourth consecutive year are California’s homegrown, Compton Cowboys.

With five massive hit singles that kept radio and MTV request lines busy, the Dr. Feelgood World Tour saw MÖTLEY CRÜE on the road and in the air on their own private jet for over 2 years. First single “Dr. Feelgood”, with its instantly memorable opening, catchy chorus, and gritty music video set the tone by reaching the top 10 on the US Hot 100 singles chart.    Originally a Top 30 hit upon release, “Kickstart My Heart” went on to become MÖTLEY CRÜE's most popular landmark track. From the buzz saw intro to the cheating-death lyrics and music video shot in a rare return to a club show at the world famous Whisky-a-go-go in Hollywood, it has now logged well over 1.5 Billion streams and can be heard nearly every day in movies, commercials, video games and sporting events around the world!  The Hot 100 hits kept coming as “Without You” hit #8, “Don’t Go Away Mad (Just Go Away) reached #19, and final single “Same Ol’ Situation (S.O.S.)” was accompanied by an music video capturing the fan excitement of a live CRÜE show.

 

The Dr. Feelgood World Tour kicked off at the now legendary Moscow Music Peace Festival in Russia and by the time the tour wrapped in late 1990, the band had played over 100 shows to over 2 Million faithful fans. Mötley Crüe continues to fill stadiums around the world with many classics from Dr. Feelgood in their setlist to this day!

Oasis add two extra Wembley Stadium shows due to phenomenal public public demand on Sept. 27 and 28, 2025

TWO EXTRA WEMBLEY STADIUM SHOWS ADDED DUE TO PHENOMENAL PUBLIC DEMAND ON SEPTEMBER 27TH AND 28TH TICKETS TO BE SOLD BY STAGGERED INVITATION ONLY BALLOT PROCESS

After receiving unprecedented demand for tickets for their UK and Ireland stadium tour, Oasis now announce two further Wembley Stadium shows on September 27th and 28th.   The Oasis Live ‘25 tour was the biggest concert launch ever seen in the UK and Ireland, with over 10 million fans from 158 countries queuing to buy tickets. However, such intense demand saw all ticket platforms struggling to cope, resulting in immense frustration and disappointment for fans who missed out after queuing for many hours.    As a small step towards making amends for the situation, a special invitation only ballot ticket sale strategy has been devised for these two shows. Applications to join the ballot will be opened first to the many fans who were unsuccessful in the initial on sale with Ticketmaster.   Inevitably interest in this tour is so overwhelming that it’s impossible to schedule enough shows to fulfil public demand. But this ticket sale strategy will make the process far smoother for fans by reducing the stress and time it takes to obtain one of the hottest tickets of our time.   As for the well reported complaints many buyers had over the operation of Ticketmaster’s dynamic ticketing: it needs to be made clear that Oasis leave decisions on ticketing and pricing entirely to their promoters and management, and at no time had any awareness that dynamic pricing was going to be used. While prior meetings between promoters, Ticketmaster and the band’s management resulted in a positive ticket sale strategy, which would be a fair experience for fans, including dynamic ticketing to help keep general ticket prices down as well as reduce touting, the execution of the plan failed to meet expectations. All parties involved did their utmost to deliver the best possible fan experience, but due to the unprecedented demand this became impossible to achieve.   The UK and Ireland leg of Oasis Live ‘25 - their only European shows in 2025 - now run as below:   JULY 2025 4th - Cardiff, Principality Stadium (SOLD OUT) 5th - Cardiff, Principality Stadium (SOLD OUT) 11th - Manchester, Heaton Park (SOLD OUT) 12th - Manchester, Heaton Park (SOLD OUT) 16th - Manchester, Heaton Park (SOLD OUT) 19th - Manchester, Heaton Park (SOLD OUT) 20th - Manchester, Heaton Park (SOLD OUT) 25th - London, Wembley Stadium (SOLD OUT) 26th - London, Wembley Stadium (SOLD OUT) 30th - London, Wembley Stadium (SOLD OUT)   AUGUST 2025 2nd - London, Wembley Stadium (SOLD OUT) 3rd - London, Wembley Stadium (SOLD OUT) 8th - Edinburgh, Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium (SOLD OUT) 9th - Edinburgh, Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium (SOLD OUT) 12th - Edinburgh, Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium (SOLD OUT) 16th - Dublin, Croke Park (SOLD OUT) 17th - Dublin, Croke Park (SOLD OUT)   SEPTEMBER 2025 27th - London, Wembley Stadium (JUST ADDED) 28th - London, Wembley Stadium (JUST ADDED)   Follow Oasis: Spotify | Apple Music | YouTube | Facebook | Instagram | X |  Website

New music: The National Parks, Chime School, Oasis

In this column I review three outstanding new audio titles available now.

Artist: The National Parks

Title: Wild Spirit (The National Parks)

You might like if you enjoy: The Lumineers, the National Parks

Tell me more: Beloved Americana quartet The National Parks are back with their newly-released sixth studio album, Wild Spirit. The Provo, Utah quartet — Brady Parks (vocals, guitar), Sydney Macfarlane (vocals, keyboards), Cam Brannelly (drums) and Megan Parks (violin) — utilize soaring harmonies, authentic musicianship, lush arrangements and compelling song craft to transport the listener to wide open vistas. Wild Spirit features a myriad of sweeping gems, including the romantic "Caves" and "Scenic Route," reflective title track, dreamy "Sightseeing," rollicking "Take A Hike" and buoyant "Hinterland Reverie." The National Parks embark on their "Wild Spirit Tour" beginning on Sept. 6 and there are early October dates in Southern California and Phoenix, AZ. The group is really a powerful live act, as this writer witnessed when they performed at the Pure Imagination Festival in Prescott, AZ in May 2024. Information: thenationalparksband.com. 

Artist: Chime School

Title: The Boy Who Ran the Paisley Hotel (Slumberland Records)

You might like if you enjoy: Rain Parade, Teenage Fanclub, The Dream Syndicate, Johnny Marr 

Tell me more: San Francisco-based power pop heroes Chime School is back with a wonderful new album, The Boy Who Ran the Paisley Hotel, a terrific follow up to singer-songwriter Andy Pastalaniec's 2021 self-titled debut. The songs across Chime School's sophomore full-length disc are uniformly melodic and glisten with a mix of dreamy moodscapes, jangly guitars, intoxicating rhythms and alluring song writing. Recorded by Pastalaniec himself at his home studio, "these songs are also very much rooted in the Bay Area of 2024, boasting both lyrical gestures to gentrification's destruction, beloved shuttered bars and theaters, as well as a songwriting collaboration with SF native Mike Ramos of Tony Jay/Flowertown fame on the album's penultimate song," according to a media release. This writer's favorites include the wonderful opener "The End," playful "Give Your Heart Away," Johnny Marr-flavored "Another Way Home," the reflective "Words You Say," propulsive 12-string guitar adorned "Say Hello" and wistful "Negative Monday." Information: slumberlandrecords.com. 

Artist: Oasis

Title: Definitely Maybe [30th Anniversary 2CD edition] (Big Brother Recordings)

You might like if you enjoy: Oasis, Blur, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, Paul Weller

Tell me more: August 30th saw the release of Oasis' Definitely Maybe (30th Anniversary) Deluxe Editions, an eagerly-awaited reissue of the British band's beloved 1994 debut released via Limited Edition Deluxe 4LP and Deluxe 2CD formats as well as as exclusive colored vinyl formats, cassette and digital — all formats include the 2014 remastered version of the album along with outtakes from the definitive album sessions at Sawmills Studios in Cornwall. Additional insight into the creation of the album by Liam Gallagher (vocals), Noel Gallagher (lead guitar, backing vocals), Paul Arthurs (rhythm guitar), Paul McGuigan (bass) and Tony McCarroll (drums) are early recordings of eight songs tracked at Monnow Valley Studio in 1993. 

The 2CD version reviewed here is definitely worthy of adding to any rock music lover's library; insightful liner notes penned by Hamish MacBain and colorful artwork featured in a 24-page booklet enhance the special reissue. Oasis' Definitely Maybe is truly one of the great debut albums of all time; timeless classics including a slew of winning singles ("Supersonic," "Shakermaker," "Live Forever" and "Cigarettes & Alcohol") and treasured album tracks ("Rock 'n' Roll Star," "Columbia" and "Slide Away") are as exhilarating in 2024 as they were when first heard in 1994. Disc 2 highlights abound including the Monnow Valley Studio takes on "Rock 'n' Roll Star," "Live Forever," "Up In The Sky" (the latter adorned by a psychedelic vibe), "Bring It On Down," and Sawmills Outtakes of "Columbia" and "Digsy's Dinner"; a beautiful acoustic-flavored recording of "Sad Song (Mauldeth Road West Demo, Nov. '92)" closes out the terrific reissue. The good news is the world will get to hear many of the Definitely Maybe classics when Oasis returns to play together live next year for the first time in more than 16 years as part of the "Oasis Live '25 Tour."
