Stevie Wonder Sets ‘Songs In The Key of Life’ Dates

Stevie Wonder will celebrate his landmark 1976 LP Songs In The Key of Life this fall. The acclaimed musician will honor the seminal release by performing the record in its entirety throughout the Songs In The Key of Life Performances - 50th Anniversary Tour. The 18-date run will open at Birmingham, U.K.’s Utilita Arena on October 13 and come to a close at Los Angeles’ Intuit Dome on December 19. He will tour throughout Europe and the United States along the way.

A statement announcing the run explained, “At a time when the world continues to search for connection, healing and joy, the messages at the heart of Songs in the Key of Life feel as urgent and necessary today as they did in 1976. “Songs like ‘As,’ ‘Love’s in Need of Love Today,’ ‘Sir Duke’ and ‘Isn’t She Lovely’ remain woven into the emotional fabric of generations around the world, reminding audiences not only where they’ve been, but who they are.”

In 2014, Wonder performed Songs in the Key of Life in its entirety on the road. After playing the album in full, he encored with “Superstition” each night.

Phish “Melt the Guns” Once Again

Phish closed out their annual run at Commerce City, CO’s Dick’s Sporting Goods Park on Sunday, capping off a three-night stand that marked their eagerly awaited return to the soccer stadium after a year off. The Vermont Quartet treated fans to a seamless second set that kicked off with a 12-minute “My Friend, My Friend,” before moving into a 20-minute “Fuego,” an eight-minute “Melt the Guns,” a 16-minute “Light” and a 13-minute “Everything’s Right.”

Of note, it was the second time Phish covered XTC’s New Wave classic “Melt the Guns” this summer—they revived the tune just three shows earlier at Boston’s Fenway Park on July 31, the first time they had tried out the rhythmic number since April 29, 1987. With a 2,051-show gap between performances, it was the biggest bust out in Phish’s performance history though, having only waited a few shows to play the song again, “Melt the Guns” seems to have now returned to their rotation. During “Fuego,” Trey Anastasio also employed the mini-drum kit he used in 1995 and 1996 and brought back during the two final nights of Phish’s recent five-night Madison Square Garden residency, during which the band nodded to their ’90s era through a mix of gags, on-stage antics and unique setlists. Anastasio also utilized the mini-drum kit during Phish’s summer Fenway plays and at the group’s two other shows at Dick’s, making the case that the percussion set may remain on stage for a bit longer.

Notably, Phish’s 2026 Dick’s run featured several over pockets of deep improvisation. On Friday, they extended “Down with Disease” past the 35-minute mark and on Saturday, they stretched “Sand” past the 17-minute mark, “Sigma Oasis” past the 19-minute mark, “What’s Going Through Your Mind” past the 24-minute mark and “Tweezer” past the 23-minute mark.

The Disco Biscuits Will Spend New Year’s Eve in Portland, OR

The Disco Biscuits have confirmed their 2026 New Year’s run. A Cirque de Bisceaux will take place at Portland, OR’s Revolution Hall from December 31-January 2, marking their first shows back in the city since their sold-out two-night run in January of 2025. While announcing the holiday stand, the group said, “Details regarding the Cirque de Bisceaux theming are unclear at this time, but if their past New Years shows are any indication, it promises to deliver a whimsical Big Top-like environment, complete with plenty of circusy surprises.” This is the first time the Philadelphia-bred band have celebrated New Year’s Eve on the West Coast since their 1995 formation.

The Biscuits have been slowly adding to their 2026 calendar over the past few months, including a fall tour across the Northeast, featuring a special two-night Halloween run in Worcester, MA and a Halloween-night movie set (with details TBD). They’ve also recently announced 2 late-night Phish after shows in Atlantic City, NJ on October 2 and 3.

The group’s next show is a September 23 stop at Detroit, MI’s St. Andrew’s Hall.

Trey Anastasio and Billy Strings Confirm Divided Sky Foundation Benefit Shows

Trey Anastasio and Billy Strings will come together for two concerts benefiting the Phish guitarist’s Divided Sky Foundation. The gigs will take place just before Thanksgiving on Friday, November 20 and Saturday, November 21, at the DCU Center in Worcester, MA. Both nights, Anastasio and Strings will perform together and be backed by Trey Anastasio Band. All proceeds from the concerts will benefit Divided Sky Foundation, helping make high-quality care more affordable and accessible to anyone struggling with addiction. ​

A limited number of tickets and Patron Packages are available by presale request. Anastasio and Strings have both spoken openly about how they have personally battled substance abuse and addiction issues over the years. Strings also lost his mother to an overdose in 2025. The musicians have shared the stage a handful of times since first collaborating at New York’s Pier 17 in 2022, most recently in Strings’ native Michigan this spring on Anastasio’s acoustic tour.

Anastasio has hosted a big Divided Sky benefit weekend each fall since 2024, when Phish played three benefit shows in Albany, NY. Last year, he revived his pandemic-era Beacon Jams at New York’s Beacon Theatre to aid the foundation.

Radiohead Confirm 2027 Dates

Radiohead have confirmed 21 upcoming shows, all slated to take place in 2027. The newly announced dates will be part of a series of multi-night stands, scheduled to be held in Perth, Melbourne and Sydney, Australia, as well as Saitama, Japan. The concerts follow a handful of 2025 residencies that played in different European cities throughout November and December of last year. To help get tickets directly to fans and minimize interception from “touts and bots,” tickets will only be accessible by registering via radiohead.com with Frontier Touring (Australia) and eplus (Japan).   

In a recent interview, guitarist Ed O’ Brien said that, going forward, the acclaimed group will play around 20 shows each year, focusing on a different global region each time they hit the road. Before their 2025 European dates, Radiohead had not performed live since 2018. Radiohead’s last Australian appearance took place in November 2012, and their most recent headlining shows in Japan were held in October 2008, though they did turn in a set at the Summersonic Festival in 2016.

Cory Wong Sits in with O.A.R.

Maryland-bred, Ohio-grown act O.A.R. are currently on the road celebrating their 30th anniversary with the Three Decades tour. Gavin DeGraw and KT Tunstall have been supplying opening duties during the latest leg of the amphitheater run and joining the evening’s headliners each night for a sing-along take on The Band classic “The Weight” each night.

Adding to the festivities, on September 1, at Minneapolis, MN’s Minneapolis Armory, the group shared the stage with another surprise guest. Fourteen songs into their set, O.A.R. brought out Vulfpeck guitarist and local hero Cory Wong to sit in on a 10-minute version of “Anyway,” an original they have been playing since 2001 and included on both 2002’s live release Any Time Now and the 2003 album In Between Now and Then.

The two acts have crossed paths before. O.A.R. are featured on “Hiding on the Moon,” a single off Wong’s 2023 album, The Lucky One. In a press release announcing that single, Wong touched on his deep history with his collaborators: “I’ve been a fan of O.A.R. since I was a teenager. I have seen them play several times, and when I finally got the chance to hang with Marc and the guys, I knew we’d hit it off musically. I had some time off in New York and Marc invited me to come hang and write in his studio. I had a loop of an idea that I had been sitting on for a while that I shared with him and he said, ‘Let me get a microphone up.’ We wrote the song that afternoon, and I took the tracks and ran with it over the next couple of months.  I wanted to add some unique guitar elements to it, so I decided to use some natural harmonics as the opening section, and for the guitar solo, I wanted to channel a combination of…Coldplay/Allman/Mayer. This song ended up being a great collaboration that really features both Cory Wong and O.A.R. in a unique way and really shows the power of creative minds coming together to make something that we wouldn’t have made independently!”

Goose Dust Off Classic Covers During Colorado Underplays

On Wednesday, September 2, Goose closed out their sweep through Colorado and Utah with a concert at Dillon, CO’s Dillon Amphitheatre. The gig—which arrived after a surprise appearance at a college party, three nights at Morrison, CO’s famed Red Rocks, a quick detour to Salt Lake City, UT’s Civic Center and an intimate spot at Bellvue, CO’s The Mishawaka—was an underplay for the ascendant Connecticut act. And, during the evening, Goose treated fans in attendance to several 2026 live debuts, including the quartet’s first stab at The Band’s “Look Out Cleveland,” from their famed 1969 self-titled album, since September 22, 2024, and their first take on Kenny Loggins’ Top Gun classic “Danger Zone” since they performed the energetic cover with the song’s author at Newport, RI’s Newport Folk Festival on July 25, 2025.

A few earlier stops on their Colorado run also featured notable 2026 debuts. During their final Red Rocks show on September 1, they ended their second set with “Factory Fiction,” which was offered for the first time since December 13, 2025. Then, they left the stage as a looping drone played on throughout the encore break, only to return to finish the rest of “Factory Fiction.”

However, their Monday, August 31, stop at the Mish may have contained the most bust outs of the run. Just two songs into their first set, Goose revived John Phillips’ Grateful Dead-adopted “Me & My Uncle” for the first time since September 27, 2025, and during their second set they moved into their own “The Labyrinth” for the first time since June 19, 2025—only their 12th version of the track since debuting the number in 2021. For their lone encore, they also dusted off Elvis Presley’s “Trouble” for the first time since October 1, 2023.

Watch Daniel Donato and Reid Genauer Join moe. for Grateful Dead Cover

The 11th annual Adirondack Independence Music Festival is currently underway in Lake George, NY. Dogs in a Pile, The Floozies, Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe and Pink Talking Fish will yet take the stage today at Charles R. Wood Park.

On Friday, three of the artists on the bill collaborated during the festival’s final performance. moe. closed out the action but was preceded by longtime friends Assembly of Dust, along with more recent collaborators Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country. At the end of moe.’s first set, the group welcomed Assembly of Dust bandleader Reid Genauer along with Donato for a sizzling version of the Grateful Dead staple “Deal.” Genauer, Donato and moe.’s Al Schnier shared vocals, then later, Donato and Schnier squared up and went toe-to-toe on their electrics.

moe. returned on Saturday and also invited a guest musician to the stage. First off, the group performed their 1996 album No Doy from start to finish. The group’s initial set featured "She Sends Me," "32 Things," "St. Augustine," "Bring You Down," "Rebubula," "Spine of a Dog" and "Moth." Then the band performed the final two songs, "Buster" and "Four" during the second frame. From here, guitarist Rob Compa (Dopapod) appeared for an expansive version of “Meat,” which preceded a set-closing version of Jethro Tull’s “Locomotive Breath."

Dave Matthews Band Perform ‘Big Whiskey & the GrooGrux King’ at the Gorge

Last night, Dave Matthews Band kicked off their annual Labor Day run at George, WA’s The Gorge. Infinity Song and Stephen Wilson, Jr. opened the night and the evening’s headliners began their set with one of their earliest jam vehicles, “Seek Up.” The group then surprised fans by debuting “Grux,” the instrumental invocation to their 2009’s LP, Big Whiskey & the GrooGrux King that served as one of founding saxophonist LeRoi Moore’s final recordings and an enduring tribute to the late musician, who passed away in 2008. Continuing the surprises, DMB then proceeded to run through the rest of Big Whiskey & the GrooGrux King in its entirety—“Shake Me Like a Monkey,” “Funny the Way It Is,” “Lying in the Hands of God,” “Why I Am,” “Dive In,” “Spaceman,” “Squirm,” “Alligator Pie,” “Seven,” “Time Bomb,” “Baby Blue” and “You & Me”—for the first time. After performing each of those numbers in their proper running order, the ensemble capped off the sequence with “Corn Bread,” which is included on the European version of Big Whiskey & the GrooGrux King and then closed their set with the classics “Crush,” “#41” and “The Best of What’s Around.” For their encore, Matthews delivered a solo version of “Some Devil,” before bringing the rest of the band back for a show-closing “Recently.”

Observant fans following along with Dave Mattews Band’s setlists this summer may have called their decision to play Big Whiskey & the GrooGrux King in its entirety. This summer’s run has been highlighted by several notable song bust outs, including a few from the LP, and last summer DMB performed 1998’s Before These Crowded Streets in full at the Gorge, later officially releasing the recording. However, DMB’s live take on Big Whiskey & the GrooGrux King still included several twists. During “Lying in the Hands of God,” they wove in elements of their own “American Baby Intro” and Master P’s “Bourbons & Lacs” and Wilson returned to the stage to sing the second and third verses of “Time Bomb.” Matthews also offered “Baby Blue” as a duet with Tim Reynolds, instead of as a solo number as he has recently.

Dave Matthews Band will return to the Gorge this evening.
