From Nov. 4 to Dec. 12, Radiohead will return to the stage after a long absence with 20 performances plotted across Europe. The imminent run from legendary avant-rock ensemble of Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Ed O’Brien, Colin Greenwood and Philip Selway will be their first public concerts since 2018, nine years after the release of their ninth studio album, 2016’s A Moon Shaped Pool. In a new interview with The Sunday Times, the band brought anticipation to a fever pitch by forecasting some major changes to their live format.

On Friday and Saturday nights, Billy Strings performed at The Orion Amphitheater in Huntsville, Ala. The concerts came after the band turned in their first night of songs in Rocket City, which brought back particular compositions that had otherwise been collecting dust, lying in wait for their Thursday night return. Similarly, the ensemble revived more tunes during their weekend activities, while also drawing on classic bluegrass tropes such as rail travel, love and loss, and the spectrum of feelings associated with rural life.

The Widespread Panic's performance on Halloween 2000 was a night to remember. The band’s jam-fueled energy and the crowd’s ecstatic spirit are on full display during “Driving Song” > “Surprise Valley” > “Driving Song.” Feel the energy for yourself with this 2-LP and celebrate one of the most unforgettable nights in Panic history!

On Sunday, Oct. 26, Umphrey’s McGee returned to the stage for the third and final performance in their three-night series at Brooklyn, N.Y.’s Brooklyn Bowl. The pioneering jam-fusion ensemble’s mini-residency was a hotly anticipated affair, and their first two performances went above and beyond high expectations with a series of tributes to recently departed stars Ace Frehley, D’Angelo, Anthony Jackson and Sam Rivers and guest spots from Brandy Watt and Rory Dolan. Night three proved to be the most electrifying of the run with more surprise appearances, this time featuring Daniel Donato, Blu DeTiger and Ross Bogan.

On Friday, October 24, Widespread Panic arrived at The Riverside Theater in Milwaukee for the first of three nights of live performances. During the run, the band focused on delivering a heavy offering of original songs paired with a handful of choice covers, which decorated each night with others’ words and rhythms. The ensemble seemed to pay particular attention to their songbook, pulling out specifics that had been shelved for a long time and needed a bit of love and attention after a time out.
