Halestorm are sharing their latest track titled “Darkness Always Wins,” the first taste of the band upcoming new album Everest, set for release August 8th. The upcoming Halestorm album will be the follow-up to 2022’s Back From the Dead.

Lzzy Hale shares of the single: “‘Darkness Always Wins’ is not a song of hope, nor is it a song of despair. It is reality. History repeating. Evil prevails and the good depart first. But we are not doomed as long as we persist and keep our fires burning. The war may not be won in this lifetime. But our mission is to pass the torch so that those who follow have a light to fight with.”  The song was produced by Dave Cobb, known for his work with Chris Stapleton, Brandi Carlile, Jason Isbell, and others.

Halestorm will serve as support on Iron Maiden’s UK/European tour in the early summer, and will also support Volbeat on a US tour beginning in mid July.

A new documentary chronicling the journey of iconic Scottish rock band Simple Minds is coming to U.S. theaters this summer. Formed in 1977, Simple Minds was founded by frontman Jim Kerr and guitarist Charlie Burchill, who remain the only original members in the current lineup.

Per Deadline, Greenwich Entertainment has acquired the North American distribution rights for Simple Minds: Everything is Possible, directed by Joss Crowley.  The film – described as “the unlikely story of an extraordinary band” – traces the group’s rise from working-class beginnings in post-industrial Glasgow to global stardom, including their legendary performance at Live Aid. The documentary also highlights their continued presence on the international touring scene. Crowley says the film captures how music brought the band together and transformed their lives—”precisely the inspirational touchpoints we’re all craving in 2025.”

Simple Minds: Everything is Possible debuts in U.S. theaters on June 13.  Details are available at simpleminds.com.

Foreigner will mark their 50th Anniversary with an exclusive Las Vegas Residency in 2026, that will feature the band performing alongside an orchestra.

To celebrate half a century in music, Foreigner is set to perform a special five-show engagement at The Venetian Theatre in Las Vegason March 6, 7, 11, 13 and 14, 2026, all at 8 p.m. local time. The iconic band will be joined by a 20-piece orchestra, conducted by Juilliard-trained musician and orchestral arranger Dave Eggar.

Ahead of this anniversary celebration, Foreigner is also preparing for a three-week residency in the fall of 2025 at The Venetian Las Vegas, where they will perform to sold-out crowds. Rick Wills and Al Greenwood (key contributors to Foreigner’s formation) will return to the stage with the band for the entirety of this residency.

Additionally, the band is extending its Farewell Tour to honor its recent induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Original members, including Gramm, will join the band at select performances. Singer Kelly Hansen will not be performing at the Latin American or Canadian shows, sharing that his absence is due to the fact that “residency issues have forced me to limit appearances outside of the U.S.A. this year and this means that I will miss some international shows.” In Latin America, vocal duties will be handled mainly by bandmate Luis Maldonado, with a few special appearances by original Foreigner singer Lou Gramm. In Canada, Geordie Brown will serve as Hansen’s replacement.
