Muse have announced an extensive North American amphitheater tour in support of their forthcoming tenth studio album, The Wow! Signal. Promoted by Live Nation, the run kicks off 07/05 at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheater in St. Louis, Missouri, and wraps 08/31 at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. Various pre-sales begin Tuesday, 03/31, at 12:00 p.m. local time; general on-sale opens Friday, 04/03, at 10:00 a.m. local time at this location.

The tour follows the band’s headlining slot at Milwaukee’s Summerfest on 07/02. From St. Louis, the run moves through cities across the United States — briefly crossing into Canada for dates including the Festival d’été de Québec — before closing out the summer on the West Coast. Bloc Party and Portugal. The Man will provide support on select dates, with The Temper Trap appearing on all shows.

The Wow! Signal was announced last week alongside lead single “Be With You”, backed by an official video directed by Nico Paolillo and starring Ella Balinska. “Be With You” debuted as the No. 1 Most Added at Alternative Radio, entering at No. 29 and trending toward the Top 20, with three million global streams in its first week.

The album’s title draws on one of the more enduring mysteries in the history of radio astronomy: a 72-second burst detected in 1977 originating from the constellation Sagittarius, with a bandwidth and intensity that pointed to a possible extraterrestrial source. The astronomer who identified it circled the signal’s now-famous sequence — “6EQUJ5” — and wrote “WOW!” in the margin of the printout, giving the signal its name.

Before the single, Muse released the With You docuseries on YouTube, gathering fan stories filmed during the Will of the People tour. The band also returned to the road in 2025 for a summer festival run that included stepping in for Kings of Leon at Madrid’s Mad Cool.

VIP packages are available via this location and include premium tickets, access to the pre-show Unravelling VIP Lounge, exclusive merchandise, and early venue entry, among other options depending on the package selected.

We knew it was coming, but that doesn’t make it any easier to watch. Imagine what it must have felt like live, in the moment! Black Label Society have not only been talking about their new album Engines of Demolition, which they just released yesterday, but mainly about the sweetly sad tune that closes it out—”Ozzy’s Song.” They made the choice to premiere the single by performing it live, and have now shared the official Justin H. Reich-directed music video for it, that you can watch below.

Of course doing a little something in honor of Ozzy was in the cards for BLS frontman Zakk Wylde, who was Ozzy’s bandmate for basically forever, was bound to happen. As he told São Paulo, Brazil’s 89 FM A Rádio Rock recently, it’s kind of been a longtime in the making. Or, at least, parts of it have been.

“ Yeah, I had the music written ’cause we’d been writing this album for the last three and a half years, almost four years. So, we stockpiled all these songs. And I was real happy with the way the music came out. And then I figured eventually I’ll finish the song. But then after we laid Ozzy to rest, when we got back home, we took a break from Pantera celebration [touring with the reformed Pantera]. I sat in a little library room in our house. I just put the headphones on at about one o’clock in the morning and I was looking at a book of Ozzy and I just wrote the lyrics. And that’s what came out.

“My wife would always be listening to it in the truck, Barbaranne, she’d be, like, ‘Babe, put on Ozzy’s song again.’ So that was pretty much just the working title. It’s just, like, well, it’s Ozzy’s song. So, people would always be asking, like, ‘I wonder since Zakk wrote a song for [late Pantera guitarist] Dimebag [Darrell Abbott],’ and now we sing it for [late Pantera drummer] Vinnie [Paul Abbott] as well, ‘with ‘In This River’, I wonder if Zakk will write a song for Ozzy on the new album.’ So, it’s only fitting. We just called it ‘Ozzy’s Song’. So that’s how we ended up with ‘Ozzy’s Song’.”

Blow your nose and pour some out for a real one, y’all.

Kanye West once called James Blake his “favorite artist” and they first collaborated over a decade ago. In 2022, the English singer-songwriter and producer also teamed up with the rapper for a project called WAR, which never saw the light of day. Later that year is when Kanye — now Ye — started regularly spewing antisemitism on social media and directly associating with far-right figures and ideology. Ye’s comments were widely condemned and he lost several major business partnerships. Now he has released the new album Bully, and Blake is credited on the closing track, “THIS ONE HERE.”
