TIGERCUB LIVE IN NEW YORK CITY (PHOTOS & SET LIST)
tigercub played their biggest US headline ever at NYC's Gramercy Theatre on May 13, touring in support of their new album Nets to Catch the Wind. The Brighton three-piece — Jamie Stephen Hall (vocals/guitar), Jimi Wheelwright (bass), and James Allix (drums) — are signed to Pearl Jam guitarist Stone Gossard's Loosegroove label, and the Gramercy show was proof they've been carving out their own corner of alternative rock, post-grunge, and punk. The setlist included one of our songs of the week, "A Black Moon." Check out the photos & setlist below. All Photos by Sachyn Mital: Setlist: As Blue as Indigo Sleepwalker Fall In Fall Out I.W.G.F.U.

WELCOME TO ROCKVILLE TURNS 15 WITH 210,000 FANS
Over the course of four days, 210,000 fans from all 50 states and more than 30 countries descended on Welcome to Rockville for its 15th year at Daytona International Speedway. Florida weather did everything it could to shut the weekend down. Friday brought a two-and-a-half-hour thunderstorm delay. Saturday sent fans scrambling for cover. Sunday triggered yet another evacuation warning. Nobody left. They waited it out in the grandstands, in parking lots, and inside their cars, then walked straight back through the gates the second they reopened. By the end of the weekend, the storms felt less like interruptions and more like part of the story. Fans and artists pushed through every delay to deliver one of the strongest Rockville editions to date, with sets from Guns N' Roses, Foo Fighters, Bring Me the Horizon, and My Chemical Romance. Sunday closed with Gerard Way leading tens of thousands through “Welcome to the Black Parade” with the kind of command that only comes from understanding exactly what a song means to the people screaming every word back at you. “This lineup is more than a booking decision,” said Danny Wimmer. “It’s what keeps this genre alive and moving forward.” Check out the photos below from the weekend.

THE WARNING NAME THE THREE BANDS CARRYING ROCK RIGHT NOW
Photo: Gustavo Kuri After their mainstage set at Welcome to Rockville this weekend, The Warning sat down with SiriusXM and named three bands carrying rock right now: Turnstile, YUNGBLUD, and Amyl & The Sniffers. The Villarreal sisters belong on that list too. Here’s the case for all four. Turnstile walked away from the 68th Grammy Awards in February with two wins — Best Rock Album for Never Enough and Best Metal Performance for “Birds” — beating out Deftones, Linkin Park, Ghost, and Sleep Token in the process. The Baltimore band has spent the last two years becoming the most talked-about act in rock, full stop. YUNGBLUD is currently in the middle of the Idols World Tour, selling out arenas across the US and Europe. He took home Best Rock Performance at the same Grammy ceremony for “Changes,” his tribute to Ozzy Osbourne. The Warning, for what it’s worth, are his support act for the North American leg. Amyl & The Sniffers spent the back half of 2025 opening for AC/DC across Australia and sold out London’s Alexandra Palace in October. Their Cartoon Darkness album earned a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Performance and landed them a Red Rocks debut this June. The Warning just played the Apex Stage at Rockville, dropped their new single “Kerosene” in March, and head into the summer supporting YUNGBLUD at venues from the Greek Theatre to Radio City Music Hall.
