SINGLE ARTWORK

Today (October 3) MEGADETH have unveiled “Tipping Point” as the first single and video from their forthcoming self-titled final album due out in 2026 via DAVE MUSTAINE’s Tradecraft imprint in partnership with Frontiers Label Group’s new BLKIIBLK label. The sonically explosive and lyrically unflinching song kicks off with a thunderous guitar solo before DAVE’s iconic voice hauntingly kicks in. In the desolate but hopeful accompanying video, directed by Leonardo Liberti, DAVE is locked up in a prison being tortured in extreme fashion, while the band performs in the same lock-up. In the end DAVE perseveres evil and walks away into a new day. Watch the video HERE and listen to the song HERE.

“We all have different ‘tipping points’ and they may vary from day to day,” says MUSTAINE. “I think we’re all being pushed to the edge right now, and it’s easy to lean into that feeling. But it’s important not to let things get you down.”

MEGADETH—Mustaine, Teemu Mäntysaari (Lead, Rhythm, and Acoustic Guitars), James LoMenzo (Bass Guitar) and Dirk Verbeuren (Drums)—will release their forthcoming self-titled album in 2026. Pre-order the album HERE and stay tuned for more news about the album in the coming weeks.

Earlier this year, MUSTAINE revealed in a social post directly shared with his worldwide fanbase and Cyber Army that the forthcoming album will mark the final studio album from MEGADETH, who’ve sold over 50 million records worldwide and received a GRAMMY® Award (with 12 additional nominations).

He shared the announcement of the album and tour via his alter ego Vic Rattlehead. Also set for next year is a new memoir from MUSTAINE, details of which will be revealed in the coming months.

About Megadeth

MEGADETH are always and forever the point of no return for metal. It would be nearly impossible to conceive where heavy music and culture would’ve gone without the band founded, fronted, and fueled by vocalist, guitarist, songwriter, and producer Dave Mustaine. The blast radius of their impact has only magnified since 1983. Thus far, they have sold 50 million records worldwide, received a GRAMMY® Award (with 12 additional nominations), generated billions of streams, notched seven Top 10 entries on the Billboard 200, and enthralled millions of diehard fans in arenas and stadiums across the globe. Their catalog spans indisputable classics such as the platinum Peace Sells… But Who’s Buying? (cited at #8 on Rolling Stone’s “100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time”), the platinum Rust In Peace, and double-platinum Countdown To Extinction, which captured #2 on the Billboard 200. Meanwhile, Dystopia notched a Top 3 debut and earned a GRAMMY® Award in the category of “Best Metal Performance” with its title track. They only upped the ferocity with The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead! in 2022. It saw them return to #3, receive a “Best Metal Performance” GRAMMY® Award nomination for “We’ll Be Back,” and incite rave reviews. Their influence can be felt practically everywhere—whether it be Post Malone proudly sporting a tattoo of “So Far, So Good… So What!,” Homer Simpson’s iPod displaying their moniker during an episode, or Showtime’s smash hit series Billions and Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey utilizing MEGADETH in plot points. The band have delivered simultaneously relevant and timeless records in five decades now, setting the pace for the thrash renaissance of the eighties, tearing through the MTV years of the nineties with swagger and style, maintaining their stride in the post-Y2K 2000s, elevating to canonical heights in the social media and streaming era of the 2010s, and unassumingly harnessing the uncertainty and unease of the Post-Pandemic world into their boldest, biggest, and best work yet.

Along the way, MEGADETH extended their influence even further. During 2016, the band entered the spirits world with their very first signature beer À Tout Le Monde followed by Saison 13 in 2019. The brand asserted itself as a player in the beverage space and impressively moved over 15 million pints. Joining forces with Keystone in 2025, they ignite the next phase of Megadeth Beer on the biggest global platform yet.

Beyond his role as a music icon, Dave founded the visionary wine brand HOUSE OF MUSTAINE which uniquely blends music, culture, and fine winemaking. The brand launched with the 2013 Symphony Interrupted Cabernet Sauvignon which was inspired by Dave Mustaine’s groundbreaking collaboration with the San Diego Symphony.

Hard-hitting country rocker CORY MARKS (@corymarksmusic) today (October 3) releases his fourth album SORRY FOR NOTHING VOLUME 2 and its anthemic third single, “Whiskey River,” via Better Noise Music. Listen to the album and single HERE. Watch the video HERE.

The release of SORRY FOR NOTHING VOLUME 2 comes as MARKS’ debut breakout 2019 hit “Outlaws & Outsiders” (featuring Ivan Moody, Mick Mars, and Travis Tritt) has officially been certified Gold by the RIAA in the U.S., marking his first-ever certification in the States. The song made history as the first-ever Top 10 U.S. rock radio-charting single from a Canadian country act and has logged over 212 million global streams to date.

The singer and songwriter describes “Whiskey River,” the follow-up to the album’s second single “Hangman,” as “a rowdy, honky tonk feel-good country anthem made for late nights and good times. With twangy guitars, stomping drums, and a barroom sing-along chorus, it’s the soundtrack to letting loose after a long week.

“The song,” MARKS continues, “follows a character who is just a good timing simple man…who’s had one to many late nights according to his partner and when times get rough or she’s had enough. He runs to his favorite small-town watering hole, where the whiskey flows like a river and worries get washed away. It’s about freedom, fun, and the kind of night you’ll never forget—if you can remember it.”

SORRY FOR NOTHING VOLUME 2 is an unapologetic double-barreled blast of 10 new songs, equally divided between arena-rock and roots country. Produced by Kevin Churko (Ozzy Osbourne, Shania Twain), Kile Odell (NOTHING MORE, Nita Strauss) and Andrew Baylis (Jelly Roll, Brantley Gilbert), MARKS’ SORRY FOR NOTHING / SORRY FOR NOTHING VOLUME 2 era are welcome signs of unity in a world of divisiveness.

In touring news, MARKS will head out with Sevendust this fall on their “Southside Double-Wide Tour” that kicks off November 14 in Columbia, MO. Earlier this year, MARKS made his own headlining jaunt throughout Canada, and he ventured overseas for his debut Europe and U.K. tour. He also toured the U.S. in support of Dorothy as part of their “REDEMPTION” tour, following performances with Toby Keith, Travis Tritt, and Theory Of A Deadman. In recent years, MARKS has shared stages with a blend of artists including Five Finger Death Punch, ZZ Top, and Brantley Gilbert, while also having joined Nickelback on the main stage at the annual Boots and Hearts festival in Toronto in 2023.

With over 386 million global streams to date, CORY has been captivating fans across the country and rock spectrum. View his tour dates with Sevendust HERE:

“Harder than drugs
I don’t need protection
This is my confession
I don’t do perfection”
—“Perfection,” written by Ronnie Winter

5X Platinum-certified alternative rock mainstays THE RED JUMPSUIT APPARATUS (@redjumpsuitapparatus) today (October 3) release their sixth album X’s For Eyes via Better Noise Music and latest single and video, “Perfection.” Against an intense driving rhythm and a big, urgent melody, lead vocalist, guitarist, and founding member Ronnie Winter candidly lays his cards on the table, singing “I like stormy weather” and that “Whatever won’t break can make us” with his signature wide-ranging voice.

Stream/download “Perfection” HERE

X’s For Eyes is now available to stream and purchase HERE

Winter points out that “Perfection” is “a song about perfect imperfections, about embracing one’s flaws and the true beauty that lies within. It’s a song about individuality, self-acceptance, and the idea that our scars and imperfections make us who we are. Through the lens of perfectly imperfect, what some might consider to be mistakes, flaws, and shortcomings suddenly become good, beautiful, even desirable. It’s a reminder,” he adds, “that being perfectly imperfect is something not to hide but to celebrate.”

X’s For Eyes marks the first full-length album from THE RED JUMPSUIT APPARATUS—vocalist Ronnie Winter, his multi-instrumentalist brother Randy Winter, guitarist Josh Burke, bassist Joey Westwood, drummer John Espy, keyboardist Nadeem Salam, and newest member K Enagonio on vocals—as part of a new partnership with Better Noise Music.

“I think that anybody who’s been with us the whole time realizes that we’ve been an activist band since 2006,” Winter says. “So when I see X’s for eyes, it reminds me of the childhood cartoons, the video games—all those things where this is what happens when you don’t do the right thing. You see that character that you know and love, but for three seconds with a bunch of swirling birds over their head and they’ve got X’s for eyes because they made a mistake. They trusted the wrong person, they went in the wrong direction, they chose the wrong path and then POW! Something crazy happens and there’s X’s for eyes, or ‘RIP.’ And I just find that has a parallel reality to now.”

He continues, “In 2006, we put a song out called ‘Face Down,’ which was an anti-domestic violence song, which we then toured the country doing everything we could to raise awareness against domestic violence. So that was with song one. And then in 2025, we’re just still continuing that narrative of social justice: doing the right thing, treating women properly, as well as men. Just the mistreatment of others. We’ve broadened that. We’ve broadened that scope. Racism, homophobia—we try to touch on everything that we wanted to make sure our fans who are coming to our show know that we stand behind. And I think we did that. I really do.”

“Perfection” follows the release of three singles from X’s For Eyes: “Home Improvement,” “Slipping Through (No Kings),” and “X’s For Eyes.”

“X’s For Eyes”: stream/download the song HERE and watch the video HERE

“Slipping Through (No Kings)”: stream/download the song HERE and watch the video HERE

“Home Improvement”: stream/download the song HERE and watch the video HERE

The 11 songs on X’s For Eyes find the band revving up their caffeinated pop sensibilities, throwing down the punishing riffola, delivering more electronic and ambient flourishes, and topping all of it off with Winter’s high-pitched emoting. Factor in some hair-raising cameos from Sleeping With Sirens’ Kellin Quinn (“Always The King”) and Escape The Fate frontman Craig Mabbitt (“Worth It”) and the result is genuinely RJA’s most strident full-length offering yet.

Formed in 2004 in Jacksonville, FL, the band has accrued Gold and multi-Platinum singles—including their massive 5x Platinum hit single “Face Down” (which has over 176 million views on YouTube), 2x Platinum “Your Guardian Angel” (which has over 37 million views on YouTube)—and 2x Platinum-certified debut album, DON’T YOU FAKE IT, alongside numerous high-ranking radio chart positions and a robust digital history of over 1.5 billion career streams. Sometimes it’s hard to believe that THE RED JUMPSUIT APPARATUS began their expedition into the hearts and minds of a generation 20 years ago. Their blazing 2006 single “Face Down” delivered both anthemic choruses and a strident message about domestic abuse, achieving both sales accolades and adoration from crowds all over the planet.

Here’s the track list for X’s For Eyes:

1. Always The King (feat. Kellin Quinn)
2. Purple Halo
3. Perfection
4. X’s For Eyes
5. Bad Beat
6. Slipping Through (No Kings)
7. Home Improvement
8. Twenty Hour Drive
9. Kins and Carroll
10. Getting By

YES Today Launches “The Fragile Tour 2025”—Band to Perform Their Iconic ‘Fragile’ Album in its Entirety Along with Their Classic Cuts

DATE: OCTOBER 1, 2025

TODAY LAUNCHES
“THE FRAGILE TOUR 2025”
THAT WILL CONTINUE THROUGH NOVEMBER 16
BAND TO PERFORM THEIR ICONIC
‘FRAGILE’ ALBUM IN ITS ENTIRETY
ALONG WITH THEIR CLASSIC CUTS

YES TO PERFORM IN FRONT OF A VIDEO WALL
OF ROGER DEAN’S ARTWORK TURNED INTO ANIMATION

“The Fragile Tour 2025” Art (Download)

Today (October 1), influential and pioneering Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees YES—who are Steve Howe (guitars, vocals), Geoff Downes (keyboards), Jon Davison (vocals, acoustic guitar), Billy Sherwood (bass guitar, vocals), and Jay Schellen (drums)—launch their “The Fragile Tour 2025” in Wallingford, CT. At these “evening with Yes” shows, the progressive rock titans will perform their iconic early ‘70s album Fragile in its entirety along with classics cuts from their legendary body of work. See the dates below and go to www.yesworld.com/live for ticketing information.

The band is excited to perform in front of a video wall featuring artwork by design visionary Roger Dean, whose longtime relationship with YES began with his design of the Fragile album. The animation of Dean’s iconic YES logos and album artwork through the years brings his visuals into this decade. His art will be on display in the merch area at all the shows.

“The first time I watched the animations with the music was just incredible; it’s wonderful that it was so much more powerful with both together,” says Dean.

The multi-platinum album Fragile album features their signature songs “Roundabout,” “Long Distance Runaround,” and “Heart of the Sunrise.” Marking the band’s fourth studio album, it was released in the UK in November 1971 and in the US in January 1972. The “Fragile Tour” is regarded as a key moment is YES’ history—it’s when the band became a headline act in the US.

“All the band’s albums had a unique feel and approach,” reflects Steve Howe. “After ‘The Yes Album,’ so many things came together, with [co-producer] Eddie Offord steering the proceedings. While the band focused on only four main songs with full arrangements, each of us wrote and designed a solo piece, which was Bill [Bruford]’s great idea. It’s fairly ‘odd-ball,’ but we were at the height of our creativity, determined for success.” Howe adds: “It gave us confidence, further than our own in-stock belief, we’d crafted this unusual but noticeable musical twist to rock and what later became prog.”

Here’s a preview of the video wall from the YES’ rehearsals this past week:

Carlson in his ZRockR review (8/15/2025) of the Saints of Las Vegas show.

A full-service bar is available with well drinks priced at $10-12 and beers between $5-7. Self-parking and valet parking at the Tuscany are always complimentary.

“We love rock music ourselves and as fans want to bring an experience that fans enjoy,” says Grayson McNees, General Manager, Tuscany Suites & Casino. “We’ve upgraded our sound system and made changes to the room to make it capable of providing an experience that meets both brand and fan standards.

Dave Damiani is a singer, bandleader, and producer known for bringing the Great American Songbook to a new generation. As the founder of the No Vacancy Orchestra, he’s performed with icons like George Benson, Renee Olstead, and Sal “The Voice” Valentinetti. His fresh approach to jazz and Vegas-style entertainment has made him a staple in clubs and theaters nationwide.

ABOUT LANDAU EUGENE MURPHY, JR.

Born in Logan County, West Virginia, Landau is a celebrated American jazz vocalist whose story is as inspiring as his music. Rising from humble beginnings, Murphy became a household name after winning the sixth season of NBC’s America’s Got Talent. His smooth voice, rich tone, and timeless interpretations of jazz standards captivated millions of viewers, securing his place as one of the show’s most memorable champions.

Since then, Murphy has released four albums, blending timeless classics with his own unique style and establishing his reputation as a versatile and passionate performer. He has performed across the globe, including a concert in Shanghai, China in 2013, and a high-profile performance at the World Expo in Dubai in 2022.

Named one of the Jaycees Ten Outstanding Young Americans in 2014, Murphy’s greatest legacy lies not only in his accolades but in his authenticity—remaining true to himself while lifting others through his music and philanthropy. His journey is a testament to perseverance, humility, and heart.

Dinner & A Show is back! The third Wednesday of the month welcomes the return of the unforgettable “Dinner & A Show” featuring the incredible Jazz Vegas Orchestra, performing in support of the Jazz Outreach Initiative (JOI).

Known for his vibrant energy and exceptional talent, Benny blends traditional jazz with his own unique flair, making every performance a memorable experience.

ABOUT MARLENE RICCI

Marlene Ricci was born in Buffalo, New York, where she made her singing debut at age five. By sixteen, she was driven to perform at nightclubs in the Buffalo area by her father. A few years later, she made her way to Las Vegas, where Frank Sinatra saw her “belting it out” in the Aladdin lounge. He immediately called her over to his table and asked her to join his tour and put Marlene on the bill as his opening act. During that two-and-a-half-year tour across the country, Marlene was picked by Smith-Hemion Productions as the Cinderella girl and featured in the CBS TV Special “Cinderella at the Palace,” videotaped at Caesars.

Marlene went on to perform with many of the world’s greatest entertainers, Bob Hope, Paul Anka, Flip Wilson, Don Rickles, George Burns, Lee Greenwood, even the Village People, and many others. A Top 20 pop hit in Europe, “Tonight” created concert performances worldwide and numerous TV appearances in Europe and in the US, on Merv Griffin, Nashville Now, and The Tonight Show. After breaking all records during her run at The Top O’ the Dunes, she returned to the Strip as a guest star in “The Great Radio City Spectacular” featuring the Rockettes at the Flamingo. That successful engagement led to a long run in the Le Bistro Theater at the Riviera. Since then, Ricci has graced the stage of many Vegas Venues, including her recent performance to a “sold out” audience at the Elegant Stirling Club.

Marlene continues to wow listeners with her incredible song styling, versatility, and unpretentious stage manner. She has a fine ability to work with an audience, getting close – a sense influenced, no doubt, by Frank Sinatra.

ABOUT LAURA TAYLOR

Renowned jazz vocalist and songwriter Laura Taylor returns with her highly anticipated sixth album, Think I’m In Love (Vegas Records). Featuring a collection of original works and her first recording of the Diana Ross classic title track, Taylor’s new release highlights her lyrical sensitivity, rich voice, and wide-ranging artistry. Collaborating with pianist-arranger Uli Geissendoerfer and an ensemble of top musicians, the album moves seamlessly from soulful R&B grooves to cinematic ballads and swinging jazz duets. A veteran performer with roots in opera and a celebrated career in New York and Las Vegas, Taylor has graced venues from the Waldorf Astoria to jazz clubs worldwide. With “Think I’m In Love,” she delivers what many consider her finest work to date—an intimate, expressive journey through love, longing, and timeless songcraft.
