These days, the four members of Animal Collective are spread out across the world, and it’s rare to get all of them back together. But the band’s much-loved album Feels turned 20 last year, and they released a deluxe reissue and a live album MiniDisc to celebrate. Last week, the band announced plans to celebrate Feels a little further, playing the album in full at a pair of gigs in New York and Los Angeles. They’ll be Animal Collective’s first live shows in four years. Tickets sold out quickly, and ticket-bot issues made acquisition impossible for lots of fans. So now AnCo are adding two more shows to the schedule. Those will probably sell out quickly, too.

Founded by multi-instrumentalists Nicolò and Federico Vese, Italian progressive metal duo Asymmetric Universe has carved out a distinct space in the modern instrumental scene with a sound that seamlessly blends the aggressive intensity of metal with the rich harmonies and improvisational spirit of jazz fusion.

One year on from the release of their most recent studio album, A Memory And What Came After, the band is pleased to release a deluxe digital version featuring 3 reimaginings of select tracks.

Federico comments: “In the past year, we had the chance to play it live in some live shows and connect with so many people both at the shows and online, all of this thanks to this record. We are so happy to celebrate the first anniversary of our debut album by releasing a new version of some selected songs. As artists, we are always evolving, and it felt natural to give a new interpretation of some of the album music, enhancing some of the characteristics of the original versions or completely changing the aesthetic while still retaining the same vibes and feelings. Maybe you will listen to the original versions in a different way after having listened to the new ones!”

Asymmetric Universe will play with Temic and Kingcrow on the 15th October at Slaughter Club in Milan, Italy.

The band’s latest full-length reflects a refined vision and deeper maturity. “We have grown a lot since, both as artists and as human beings,” says Federico. “We always liked to blend genres… and we believe that now we have reached a clear vision of the balance of these genres.”

Earlier work often fused genres section-by-section, but now, with more confidence, the duo began each track with hybrid intentions, resulting in a more cohesive and expressive sound. “All the different arrangements and melodies are working together towards the same goal: convey the message and feeling that was at the base of each song,” Federico adds.

Their latest work features saxophone prominently, a decision inspired in part by a BILMURI live show. “We always loved adding trumpets and saxophones… In this album, we changed the balance with these instruments again, focusing on saxophone as we felt it fit perfectly with the vibe of the album,” says Federico.

The album was mixed by Sebastian Sendon, with Adam “Nolly” Getgood also providing assistance with drum recording, which took place in the UK at Middle Farm Studios.

A Memory And What Came After will be available to pre-order as a limited CD Digipak, limited blue-black marbled L, and as a digital album.

How To Celebrate A Brand New Album If You’re Kenny Chesney… & the Album’s SILVER SANDS MARINA + the Stadium Tour’s The Original Vibe Room IT’S A SERIOUS UNDERPLAY WITH LOTS OF NEW MUSIC SEPT. 25 the PINNACLE TURNS INTO SILVER SANDS East Tennessee Songwriter/Dreamer Gets Back to Basics with No Shoes Radio Broadcasting Live for Those Who Can’t Get In

NO SHOES NATION – You can tell when Kenny Chesney is fired up about new music. Starting with his “TODAY” Citi Concert Series appearance at Rockefeller Plaza, the new music goes down easy – and the band is in great form. With all the positive energy and forward motion, the man who closed out his second Sphere residency wasn’t ready to shut it down for the year. “This new music – maybe because we’ve had so much time to get it to this place – has taken me back to when albums mattered, the songs kind of spoke to each other, and we found some really special, unusual things,” says the East Tennessee songwriter/superstar who announced a 19-city stadium tour earlier this week. “Between loving this record and just getting to play a little bit at ‘TODAY,’ I figured we should keep rocking – and maybe make it a little bit bigger than a Keg in the Keys or Keg in the Closet show. “So, we got everybody together… and we’re taking over the Pinnacle in Nashville. One night only, probably not more than a couple thousand tickets, and we’re trying to make it fun and fair to get in. If the band and I can get it together, we’re gonna play five, six, maybe even seven of these eleven songs, and I can’t wait.” With HEY NOW Records jumping in to build an activation on the plaza around the Pinnacle, Chesney is doing what he does best: throwing a party on short notice, throwing open the doors and turning the music up loud. “I want to share this excitement with everybody, which is why we’re gonna put this on No Shoes Radio, but for the people who can get their hands on these tickets, I can’t wait to see the joy and whatever energy they bring to this new music. “Silver Sands Marina is finally gonna be here, and seeing the reaction just to the title track, ‘Goldfish’ and ‘Carry On’ at ‘TODAY,’ I think this is going to be one of those times where new music actually takes people higher. So, here we go… and to everybody who works with me who’s pulling their hair out, just know: you’re gonna have a lot of fun, too.” Limited tickets to the high-demand event will be priced at $10 and made available through Fair AXS. Fans can register now through tomorrow, Sept. 19 at 9 p.m. CT at THIS LINK for an opportunity to purchase tickets. Selected fans will receive a private purchase link tied to their AXS account. Fair AXS empowers artists to sell their tickets directly to fans – not bots – at the prices they choose. Fans can sign up during a flexible registration window at a time that works best for them, instead of rushing to check out the moment tickets go on sale. This approach replaces a one-size-fits-all model, allowing each event to be tailored by market and aligned with local regulations – and the artist’s philosophy. By combining identity-based ticketing, transparent policies, and artists’ ownership of their own data, Fair AXS gives artists meaningful control over how their tickets are sold and creates a fairer experience for fans. On Thursday, Sept. 24 from 5-10 p.m. CT on and Friday, Sept. 25 from 12-10 p.m. CT, fans can immerse themselves in the world of the Silver Sands Marina album at the Pinnacle plaza activation space. In addition to life-size buildouts, photo moments, food trucks, bars and more, they’ll also be able to purchase physical copies of the album including signed vinyls and CDs plus special variants. With the Original Vibe Room Tour name being inspired by that blast of excitement, the insanity of those first years of selling a million tickets every summer, that passion continues driving the launch of Silver Sands Marina. Having delivered songs that have both defined coming of age across the country and soundtracked the moments that define a life, Chesney is feeling the moment – and wanting to take everyone along for the ride. “I love the idea that songs can give people their lives in three- and four-minute pieces, that it can lift them up or thrill them when they most deserve and need it. When I started listening back, I said, ‘Why wait for the tour?’ The band is so hot, and we’re having so much fun, we figured we’d learn some of these songs and go for it… Come be part of it, and know even if you’re just listening, I think that energy will carry through your speakers.”

Today, Five Finger Death Punch released various physical editions of their brand-new 10th studio album, Legacy, which arrived digitally on July 31 via Better Noise Music. The collection includes limited-edition vinyl, CD, and cassette variants featuring exclusive artwork, available now through the band’s official store, with the European and UK vinyl release following on October 9. Adding to today’s release, the band also dropped the official music video for the album’s title track “Legacy.”

Celebrating two decades of Five Finger Death Punch, each physical variant stands out as a singular collectible, arriving as the band continues its current North American leg of the 20th Anniversary World Tour through October 23.

Legacy is now available in the following formats:

• Standard CD
• Standard Vinyl (Clear vinyl)
• Indie Exclusive Vinyl (Amber Wave vinyl)
• Indie Exclusive CD
• Indie Exclusive Cassette
• Band Webstore Vinyl (Metallic Silver vinyl)
• Band Webstore Exclusive Picture Disc
• Walmart Exclusive Vinyl (Blood Moon vinyl)
• Walmart Exclusive CD
• Amazon Exclusive Vinyl (Green Marble vinyl)
• Amazon Exclusive CD
• Revolver Exclusive (Orange vinyl)
• EMP Exclusive Vinyl (Yellow Marble vinyl)
• Sweden Rock Exclusive Vinyl (Cloud vinyl)
• Napalm Exclusive (Smoke vinyl)

Since its digital release in July, Legacy has already yielded over 60 million streams and counting. Upon release, the album claimed spots on 18 international charts. Most notably, it vaulted to #2 on the US Top Digital Albums Chart. On Spotify, it hit #6 on the US Top Albums Chart and #8 globally.

The album arrived in the wake of the first single “Eye Of The Storm,” delivering the band’s 18th No. 1 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock chart, extending their own record for the most consecutive No. 1s in the chart’s 45-year history. It held the top slot for three consecutive weeks. Current single “Nails in the Coffin” is steadily climbing the rock charts and is already at #21 this week. Revolver praised the track’s blend of battering riffs and melody driven by Ivan Moody‘s introspective vocal performance, while Loudwire called it “a furious opening statement for the new album cycle.”

The band is currently on the first leg of their 20th Anniversary World Tour, traveling across North America with special guests Cody Jinks and Eva Under Fire. The 20th Anniversary World Tour is both a celebration and a statement, honoring the band’s journey from their 2005 formation and the 2007 release of their debut album, The Way Of The Fist, to global arena headliners. The tour will showcase material from the new album, alongside classic anthems and #1 hits that defined the past two decades. The 48-city North American tour is currently underway and will wrap up in Bristow, VA, at Jiffy Lube Live on October 23. Check out the full tour routing here.

In addition to celebrating two decades of music, the band is once again using its platform to give back. Long recognized as one of rock’s most charitable bands, Five Finger Death Punch has spent decades giving back to various causes, including U.S. military veterans, first responders, and their families. In 2026, the band continued that tradition by supporting Team USA and aligning with the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic Games, to be held on American soil in Los Angeles in 2028. As part of the tour’s commitment to championing America’s next generation of athletes, a portion of the ticket sales from the 2026 North American Tour will benefit high-performance programs for U.S. Olympic and Paralympic athletes as they prepare for international competition.

Zoltan Bathory has selected USA Judo, the National Governing Body for Judo in the U.S., as his beneficiary. At the same time, vocalist Ivan Moody will direct his contribution to the USA Cycling BMX Racing & BMX Freestyle teams. “Our athletes are competing against nations with fully funded teams, while U.S. teams rely almost exclusively on private donations and sponsorships. We believe supporting Team USA is both patriotic and necessary, especially with the Olympic and Paralympic Games coming home in 2028.” Vocalist Ivan Moody added, “These athletes represent the best of who we are. Dedication, sacrifice, discipline. If we can help level the playing field even a little, we’re all in.”

The 20th Anniversary World Tour also marks the newest addition to the Death Punch family: Punch’d Energy joins as the tour’s official sponsor, bringing a whole new way to get energized. Their stackable caffeine gummies each contain 10mg of pure, natural caffeine, so fans can stack as many as they need to build their own dose. At every show, fans 18 and over can scan the on-screen QR code for a free sample shipped straight to their door, no purchase necessary. For more information, check here.

Next up, after the North American tour, 5FDP will head across the pond for an early 2027 UK/European arena tour with Lamb of God and Bleed From Within. The second leg of the 20th Anniversary World Tour will kick off in Manchester, UK, on Saturday, January 16, and will see the band perform in 21 cities across the continent, ending in Helsinki on February 22, 2027. Check out the full European tour dates here.
