NICK JONAS ANNOUNCES NEW SOLO ALBUM 'SUNDAY BEST

NICK JONAS ANNOUNCES FIRST SOLO ALBUM IN NEARLY FIVE YEARS
 
SUNDAY BEST ARRIVING FEBRUARY 6TH 
 
PRE-ORDER / PRE-SAVE SUNDAY BEST HERE

Golden Globe and Grammy-nominated recording artist, songwriter, actor, and producer Nick Jonas officially reveals the highly-anticipated release of his new solo album, Sunday Best, arriving February 6th via Republic Records. Marking his first solo project in nearly five years, the album captures Jonas at his most open, introspective, and artistically renewed.
 
On the new album, Nick shares, “I’m so excited to share these new stories, candid thoughts, quiet walks home in the city, and snapshots of my life over these past few years. And while this album was made over the course of the last two years, it was truly 33 years in the making.”
 
Jonas first unveiled the album yesterday at his intimate Sunday Best Brunch event in Las Vegas, treating 170 fans to the first-ever live performances of several new songs off the project. He was also joined by Daniel Wall of Behind The Wall Podcast for a thoughtful conversation exploring the inspirations, stories, and creative journey behind the album, as well as various album collaborators, including JP Saxe, Josette Maskin of MUNA, Blush, and Ryan Daly. See photos and videos from the event HERE (Credit: Matt Robertson).
 
On Sunday Best, Nick dives deeper than ever before, drawing from important life chapters–both celebratory and challenging–that he’s faced over the past year and the new perspective he’s gained as both a husband and father. Through unguarded storytelling and moments he has never previously shared publicly, the album offers listeners an intimate look into his world. 
 
Sonically, Jonas draws inspiration from his musical roots and early years singing in church choirs, infusing the record with the warmth and spirit of musical influences from both his childhood and adult life. Sunday Best features vivid lyricism, rich and soulful arrangements, and warmly layered instrumentation that highlight his most emotionally resonant work to date.
 
With Sunday Best, Nick Jonas invites fans to experience a bold new chapter. One marked by honesty, growth, and a profound sense of rediscovery.
 

JACQUEES TEAMS UP WITH K CAMP ON “LET YOU GO”

Today, multi-platinum R&B sensation Jacquees releases his new single Let You Go” featuring fellow Atlanta-raised hitmaker K Camp. Get it HERE today.
 
Let You Go,” an offering from Jacquees’ forthcoming album Mood 2, exudes all the elements of a globally transcending record. With a rich blend of silky R&B textures and the pulse of Amapiano, the track showcases Jacquees’ signature vocal prowess layered over deep grooves, rolling percussion, and hypnotic drum patterns. The fusion creates a sound that feels both familiar and fresh that’s rooted in R&B while tapping into the global wave of South African dance music. With these intoxicating Amapiano influences, Jacquees and K Camp team up for yet another memorable collaboration adding to a catalog that already includes fan favorites like “What’s On Your Mind,” which is nearing 100M views on its official music video, as well as their most recent joint effort, “Come Back Home.”
 
Straight out of Decatur, Georgia, Jacquees is riding high on the success of his most recent solo project, Baby Making [2024], which has claimed the top spot on the iTunes R&B/Soul Album Charts. He also recently wrapped up a tour earlier this year for his joint project with Dej Loaf, titled Friendzone 2 [2025,] as part of the F#*K A FRIEND ZONE Tour. With momentum building and his artistry evolving, Jacquees is gearing up for the anticipated release of his next full-length album, Mood 2, set for release in early 2026.

“Families, young adults, and older folks danced, laughed and enjoyed the musical acts who hailed from across the country and played folk, dance, funk, country, jazz, pop and more,” shared The Missoulian in their review of last year’s event, which was also dubbed a “Can’t Miss Music Festival of 2025” by Vulture, and “a smashing success” by 94.9 KYSS. “For a first-year fest, it all seemed to run surprisingly smoothly,” wrote The Pulp, “it looked like a well-oiled machine”. The festival was also a significant contributor to the regional economy, generating $9.1m in net new economic activity in Missoula County, over 400k in net tax revenues for state and local government, and creating $3.3m in new labor income for workers throughout the region according to a study by Zenith Economics. Additionally, in 2025 Zootown Music Festival supported the net equivalent of 67 annualized jobs throughout Missoula County.


Zootown 2025 was an incredible experience that showcased what makes Montana such a uniquely special place. The crowd brought an easy, magnetic energy that turned a first-year festival into something that already felt lived-in. From local Missoulians to weekend travellers, we’re grateful to everyone who showed up and made it theirs. We can’t wait to see everyone back at the Missoula Fairgrounds this summer.” - Scott Osburn (Always On)


Produced by Always On, Knitting Factory Presents, and Shore Sound Entertainment in partnership The University of Montana’s Entertainment Management program, the Zootown Music Festival brings a world class live music event to a vibrant city known for its exceptional culinary and craft brewery scene, historical landmarks and Indigenous roots, and easy access to natural wonders and outdoor adventures, with over 60,000 acres of wilderness just minutes from downtown.

Tickets for all shows are on-sale this Friday, Nov. 21 at 10 a.m. local time. An artist pre-sale launches today at 12 noon eastern. Tickets and VIP packages will be available at Lamb-of-god.com/tour.

“We are beyond thrilled to announce the loudest, proudest, floor shakin’-est, earth quakin’-est, ear-splittin’-est, mosh pittin’-est, undiluted, undisputed HEAVIEST tour of the whole damn year,” Mark Morton declares. “Is this the largest collection of RIFFS ever assembled under one roof? It would seem so. Lamb of God, Kublai Khan TX, Fit For An Autopsy, and Sanguisugabogg. Do not miss this shit.”

The tour news follows the recent release of “Sepsis,” the band’s first new original song since 2022’s Omens, and now the #1 song on the U.S. metal radio charts. Produced by longtime collaborator Josh Wilbur, the track celebrates the Richmond underground and the bands Lamb of God performed alongside during their early years. The band also shared a live video for “Sepsis,” capturing the electrifying live debut of the song at Aftershock Festival.

Consequence named the three-and-a-half minute track its “heavy song of the week,” describing the single as “crushing” while Revolver spotlighted “Sepsis,” calling it a “rock-solid addition to their ever-crushing canon.”

Mötley Crüe Announces Massive 2026 North American Tour, Celebrating 20th Anniversary Of ‘CARNIVAL OF SINS’ Tour & Band’s 45th Anniversary

MÖTLEY CRÜE ANNOUNCES MASSIVE 2026 NORTH AMERICAN TOUR, CELEBRATING 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF ‘CARNIVAL OF SINS’ TOUR & BAND’S 45TH ANNIVERSARY

THE RETURN OF THE CARNIVAL OF SINS!

$1 OF EVERY TICKET SOLD WILL BE DONATED TO ASAP! THROUGH THE MÖTLEY CRÜE GIVEBACK INITIATIVE

“THEATRE OF PAIN” 40TH ANNIVERSARY BOX SET IS OUT NOW

Iconic rock band Mötley Crüe announce THE RETURN OF THE CARNIVAL OF SINS, a major 2026 North American tour celebrating two milestones: the 20th anniversary of the groundbreaking 2005-2006 Carnival of Sins tour and the 45th anniversary of the band.

The run will bring Mötley Crüe’s high-impact live show — renowned for its explosive production, unforgettable visuals, and decades-spanning catalog — to fans across the U.S. and Canada next summer. Produced by Live Nation, the tour will stop in 33 cities across North America and feature performances by very special guests Tesla and Extreme.

When the Carnival of Sins Tour first hit the road in 2005, it wasn’t just a concert — it was a full-scale production that pushed the limits of live shows. It combined grit, humor, and high-voltage energy with elaborate staging and a sense of chaos that only Mötley Crüe could pull off. Two decades later, fans will have the chance to experience The Return Of The Carnival Of Sins as Mötley Crüe revisits one of the most memorable live tours of their storied career with a reimagined show and updated setlist.

“Bringing back the spirit of Carnival of Sins has been a blast, and we wanted to take it even further for its 20th anniversary. This new show is for the Crüeheads who’ve been with us through it all and for the new Crüeheads who didn’t get to experience Carnival of Sins last time around. Get ready — we’re coming your way and we can’t wait to see you next summer,” Mötley Crüe said in a joint statement.

TICKETS: General onsale begins Friday, November 21 at 9AM local time. VIP packages will be available for purchase starting Wednesday, November 19 at 9AM local time. More information can be found at motley.com.

Through the Mötley Crüe Giveback Initiative, $1 from every ticket will be donated to ASAP! (After School Arts Program), a cause close to the hearts of the band members. With federal grants to music programs in schools being cut, millions of children across the U.S. risk losing access to creative, life-changing education and experiences in the arts. ASAP!’s mission is to nurture resilient, empathetic young people through hands-on programs in music, art, writing, theater, and play.

Coinciding with today’s tour announcement, Mötley Crüe’s Theatre Of Pain 40th Anniversary Deluxe box set is out now and available HERE. A must-have for fans and collectors alike, the box set features reimagined artwork, the newly remastered album on color vinyl, a never-before-released 1985 Long Beach live concert (2LP), rare demo recordings (1LP), and a 76-page hardcover book packed with never-before-seen photos and memories from Mötley Crüe’s Theatre of Pain era. This definitive set captures the raw energy and spirit of the band and is available only for a limited time.
