Among the week’s announced releases, Bryan Adams returns with How’s It Goin’, a 12-track album inspired by Canada’s landscapes, history, and people. The project combines rock, country, and folk influences.

Kings of Leon are also releasing their tenth album, O My Beloved. Their first self-produced record focuses on family, childhood memories, and the band’s journey together.

For classic rock fans, KISS is celebrating the 50th anniversary of Rock and Roll Over with new mixes, previously unheard demos, live recordings, and collectible material.

Bob Dylan’s The 1976 Live Recordings offers an extensive look at his Rolling Thunder Revue tour through a 39-CD collection featuring 371 previously unreleased tracks.

Elsewhere, Hatebreed returns with Fatal Paradox, while Comeback Kid releases Chosen Hell. Eddie 9V explores blues and soul on Down Here, and Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 bring Afrobeat to the lineup with Na Dem.

Released on October 29, 2026, the project was created in collaboration with visual artist Lauren Tsai as part of the band’s 20th anniversary celebrations for their landmark album The Black Parade.

The film follows Astrid, a student at a New England boarding school who enters a mysterious world while searching for her missing sketchbook.

Phoebe Bridgers voices Astrid’s sister, while Billie Eilish plays her close friend. Video game creator Hideo Kojima voices the Teacher, and actor John C. McGinley portrays the Dean.

The soundtrack features music from The Black Parade, alongside a classical composition by Pascal Dusapin.

The release also connects with My Chemical Romance’s anniversary activities, including a special album reissue and two Hollywood Bowl concerts in Los Angeles on October 30 and 31.

The animated project adds another creative element to the band’s celebration of one of its most recognizable albums.

The band’s 2006 album climbed from No. 139 to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart dated November 7, 2026, following the release of its 20th anniversary deluxe edition.

The album earned 78,000 equivalent album units during the tracking week ending October 29, including 68,000 in traditional album sales. Vinyl purchases accounted for 42,000 copies, marking the band’s biggest sales week on the format.

Originally released in October 2006, The Black Parade debuted at No. 2, behind the Hannah Montana soundtrack. The album features some of the group’s best-known songs, including Welcome to the Black Parade, Famous Last Words, and Teenagers.

The anniversary edition includes six bonus tracks and was released in multiple physical formats.

The achievement also establishes a new chart record for the longest period between an album’s original release and its first appearance at No. 1.

The festival is scheduled for February 20, 2027, at Riviera Beach Club in St Kilda. Organizers have confirmed that Thornhill personally curated the lineup, which includes both Australian and international performers.

Joining Thornhill are Stand Atlantic, Alpha Wolf, SACE6, Justice for the Damned, Varials, Headwreck, Bloom, and Blinder.

Presented by Destroy All Lines, the event follows the 2026 Life’s A Beach festival, which featured a lineup curated by Australian metalcore band Polaris at the same venue.

The announcement comes during a notable period for Thornhill. Their 2025 album BODIES reached No. 4 on Australia’s ARIA Albums Chart and earned the group an ARIA Award for Best Hard Rock/Heavy Metal Album.

Presale tickets are scheduled to become available November 5, 2026, followed by general ticket sales on November 6.

Surf’s Up! Festival 2027 will be open exclusively to attendees aged 18 and older.

Court documents filed on October 30, 2026, in the Kings County Supreme Court in Brooklyn confirm that the couple has filed for divorce. The case is listed as uncontested, indicating that both parties are seeking to resolve the separation without a legal dispute.

Antonoff and Qualley reportedly separated in July 2026. A source close to the couple described the decision as mutual and said they intend to remain friends.

The pair began dating in 2021 and married in August 2023 during a ceremony in New Jersey attended by several well-known entertainment figures.

Antonoff, 42, is a Grammy-winning producer and the frontman of Bleachers. His work includes collaborations with Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey, and Sabrina Carpenter.

Qualley, 32, has built a successful acting career with appearances in The Substance, Maid, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

Neither has publicly shared further details about the divorce or their future personal plans.

The band confirmed on October 31, 2026, that its scheduled performances in Leipzig and Hamburg would not take place as planned because of Gillan’s health situation. The Leipzig concert was scheduled for October 31, followed by Hamburg on November 1.

Gillan, 81, has been the longtime voice of Deep Purple, known for classic rock songs including Smoke on the Water, Highway Star, and Child in Time.

The group said it was working to arrange replacement dates for both concerts. Fans who purchased tickets were informed that their existing tickets would remain valid for the rescheduled shows.

Details about the medical emergency have not been publicly disclosed, and no official information has been provided about Gillan’s condition or expected recovery.

Deep Purple has been touring in support of its 2026 album Splat!. Additional European performances were scheduled, including a November 3 concert in Dortmund.

At the time of the announcement, the band had not confirmed whether any further tour dates would be affected.

During a Reddit Q&A on October 30, 2026, marking the 25th anniversary of Glitter, the singer addressed a fan’s question about her long-unreleased grunge album, Someone’s Ugly Daughter.

Carey revealed that fans ask about the project almost every week. Her response, “#notyet (this is a hint!),” suggested that the recordings could eventually become available.

The album dates back to 1995, when Carey was recording her successful Daydream album. During that period, she experimented with alternative rock and grunge, exploring a musical direction far removed from her signature pop and R&B sound.

A version of the album was released under the band name Chick, with Clarissa Dane providing the lead vocals. However, the version featuring Carey’s original lead vocals has remained largely unavailable to the public.

Carey has previously expressed interest in releasing the project. Her latest comments have renewed attention around the recordings, although no official release date or distribution plans have been announced.

The band announced the additional dates on October 30, 2026, following strong ticket demand that saw more than 300,000 tickets purchased in just six days.

The newly confirmed performances bring the tour to 35 shows, with additional concerts scheduled in Melbourne, Hobart, Perth, Canberra, and Brisbane throughout November and December 2027.

Brisbane, the band’s hometown, will host the final two outdoor performances, bringing the reunion tour to a close.

Powderfinger’s return marks a significant moment for Australian rock fans. The group ended its touring career in 2010 after becoming one of the country’s most successful rock acts, known for songs including My Happiness, These Days, and Sunsets.

The upcoming tour will also feature supporting performances from Ocean Alley, Violent Soho, The Living End, Something For Kate, DMA’S, and John Butler Trio.

Presale tickets for the newly announced shows will become available November 4, with general ticket sales beginning November 5, 2026.

The singer shared a glimpse of the experience on Instagram on October 28, showing her enjoying the band’s performance of material from its influential 2006 album The Black Parade.

The concert comes as both artists are making headlines for their chart activity.

Rodrigo’s third studio album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, has spent three nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. The project recently received additional attention following the release of an Expectations remix featuring Chappell Roan.

Meanwhile, My Chemical Romance released a 20th-anniversary edition of The Black Parade on October 23, featuring bonus tracks and live recordings.

The original album reached No. 2 in 2006, making the anniversary release another significant moment in the band’s history.

With both artists enjoying renewed attention, their latest chart activity highlights the continued connection between contemporary pop and alternative rock.

The band announced the release alongside a new trailer featuring concert footage, backstage moments, and personal reflections from Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley. Directed by DJ Viola, the documentary follows the group’s farewell tour, which began in January 2019 and concluded at New York’s Madison Square Garden on December 2, 2023.

The nearly five-year journey included approximately 250 performances across multiple continents, with COVID-19 postponements extending the original schedule.

The trailer also highlights some unexpected challenges, including a concert in Brazil where Simmons performed while seated after experiencing dehydration.

Beyond the performances, the documentary explores the emotions surrounding the band’s decision to end its touring career after five decades.

Fans attending KISS Kruise: Land-Locked in Las Vegas from November 13 through 15 will receive an early preview. The documentary will then premiere through the band’s official website, with online access starting at $14.99.
