It’s been three years since Arcade Fire shared their last studio album with the world, and they’re finally ready for a comeback. The beloved indie rock band announced the release of their seventh studio album Pink Elephant and gave us a taste of things to come with the lead single “Year of the Snake”.

According to the band’s official statement, their latest album borrows its name from the term “pink elephant”, which refers to the paradoxical effect where the effort to suppress a thought leads to it being impossible to avoid.

“When experienced in its entirety, Pink Elephant invites the listener on a sonic odyssey – a quest for life – that exists within the perception of the individual, a meditation on both darkness and light, the beauty within. The layers of this condensed epic unfold to reveal new dimensions with each successive listen,” reads Arcade Fire’s press release.

They described the genre of their new record as “cinematic mystical punk” and confirmed it will feature 10 brand-new tracks. “Year of the Snake” was released as the lead single, while the tracklist also includes such titles as “Open Your Heart or Die Trying”, “Beyond Salvation”, and “Alien Nation”.

Pink Elephant will be released on May 9.

The lineup at this year’s Coachella will be an embarrassment of riches—and it’s just gotten even better! Ed Sheeran and Weezer are the latest A-list acts to join the lineup, shortly after FKA Twigs and Anitta announced they won’t be taking part in this year’s festival.

The alternative rock legends Weezer will hit the iconic Coachella stage during Weekend 1, on Saturday around 3 p.m. Ed Sheeran, who’s fresh off releasing the lead single from his new album Play titled “Azizam”, will take the same slot during Weekend 2.

Weezer and Sheeran were added to the Coachella lineup shortly after the festival lost two major performers. The shifts in the schedule were made shortly after FKA Twigs canceled her scheduled tour dates for the rest of April across North America due to “ongoing visa issues”. The Brazilian pop star Anitta also pulled out of the festival, citing “unexpected personal reasons.”

The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is returning to the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California for two weekends, between April 11–13 and April 18–20. Lady Gaga, Green Day, Travis Scott, and Post Malone are headlining the festival, while the lineup also includes Charli XCX, Megan Thee Stallion, Missy Elliott, Benson Boone, Shaboozey, GloRilla, and Marina.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is gearing up to announce the Class of 2025, and we finally know who’ll be on this year’s ballot. The list of candidates for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction has been announced, and it includes the likes of Mariah Carey, Oasis, Cyndi Lauper, and The White Stripes.

An artist becomes eligible for Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nomination 25 years after the release of their first commercial recording, and many of this year’s candidates happen to be first-timers. That happens to be the case with the English rock supergroup Bad Company, blues-rockers The Black Crowes, early rock n’ roll legend Chubby Checker, blues singer Joe Cocker, punk rocker Billy Idol, Mexican rockers Maná, and hip-hop duo Outkast.

The list of 14 acts vying for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction also includes the powerhouse singer Mariah Carey, post-punk pioneers Joy Division/New Order, dance-pop legend Cyndi Lauper, jam band Phish, grunge hitmakers Soundgarden, the rock duo The White Stripes, and Britpop band Oasis, who recently reunited for the sold-out Oasis Live ’25 Tour.

Nominees will be voted on by a committee of 1,200 artists, historians, and music industry professionals. The Class of 2025 will be announced in late April, while the induction ceremony will take place in Los Angeles this fall.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is gearing up to announce the Class of 2025, and we finally know who’ll be on this year’s ballot. The list of candidates for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction has been announced, and it includes the likes of Mariah Carey, Oasis, Cyndi Lauper, and The White Stripes.

An artist becomes eligible for Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nomination 25 years after the release of their first commercial recording, and many of this year’s candidates happen to be first-timers. That happens to be the case with the English rock supergroup Bad Company, blues-rockers The Black Crowes, early rock n’ roll legend Chubby Checker, blues singer Joe Cocker, punk rocker Billy Idol, Mexican rockers Maná, and hip-hop duo Outkast.

The list of 14 acts vying for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction also includes the powerhouse singer Mariah Carey, post-punk pioneers Joy Division/New Order, dance-pop legend Cyndi Lauper, jam band Phish, grunge hitmakers Soundgarden, the rock duo The White Stripes, and Britpop band Oasis, who recently reunited for the sold-out Oasis Live ’25 Tour.

Nominees will be voted on by a committee of 1,200 artists, historians, and music industry professionals. The Class of 2025 will be announced in late April, while the induction ceremony will take place in Los Angeles this fall.
