Cage The Elephant Announce 45-date North American Tour + New Album ‘Neon Pill’
Today, Cage The Elephant, the Grammy-Award winning rock band mark their return and announce both the release of their forthcoming sixth studio album, Neon Pill (May 17, RCA Records) and their 45-date North American summer tour.
The new album finds the Kentucky-bred six piece—brothers Matthew Shultz [vocals] and Brad Shultz [guitar], Daniel Tichenor [bass], Jared Champion [drums], Nick Bockrath [lead guitar], and Matthan Minster [guitar, keys, backing vocals]— forging new musical ground, while maintaining their uncompromising creativity and wildly cathartic performances. “To me, Neon Pill is the first record where we were consistently uninfluenced, and I mean that in a positive way,” observes Matthew. “Everything is undoubtedly expressed through having settled into finding our own voice. We’ve always drawn inspiration from artists we love, and at times we’ve even emulated some of them to a certain degree. With this album, having gone through so much, life had almost forced us into becoming more and more comfortable with ourselves. We weren’t reaching for much outside of the pure experience of self expression, and simultaneously not necessarily settling either. We just found a uniqueness in simply existing.” The album is available to pre-order on all formats here. Today, the band share their new song, “Out Loud” the emotional centerpiece of Neon Pill.
Cage The Elephant’s 45-date North American US tour, produced by Live Nation, will kick off on June 20 in Salt Lake City with shows in cities including Seattle, Los Angeles, Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Chicago, and New York City (full dates below), with support from Young The Giant & Bakar on most dates.
Tickets and VIP available for all dates will go on sale to the general public on Friday, March 8th at 10am local here, and numerous presales, including for the band’s Fan Club, Discord, and Spotify followers will begin on Tuesday, March 5th at 10am local time. For all Canadian dates, American Express® Card Members can purchase tickets before the general public beginning Tuesday, March 5 at 10am local time through Thursday, March 7 at 10pm local time.

Metallica has confirmed a series of new North American stadium dates that extend the band’s massive M72 World Tour into 2027. Having played 99 shows in 26 countries since its April 2023 kick-off, the Live Nation-promoted M72 World Tour will resume May 8, 2027 at BC Place in Vancouver – hitting a dozen new cities for the first time on this run throughout the American southwest, midwest and beyond – and will conclude June 19, 2027 at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City.
TICKETS: Tickets for the newly announced shows will be available starting with the Fan Club presales beginning on Monday, September 21 at 10am local time.

From its launch in 2023 through its most recent two-night engagement July 3 and 5, 2025 at London Stadium, Metallica’s record-breaking M72 World Tour has been celebrated as among the best of the band’s 40+ years of traversing the globe, with nearly five million members of the Metallica family having attended. Hailed as “an altogether life-affirming experience” (Billboard), “impossible to leave unsatisfied” (Austin Chronicle), “a stone-cold stunner of a show” (Detroit News), and “as tight and furious as Metallica has sounded in ages” (Los Angeles Times), M72 will resume following Metallica’s Life Burns Faster residency at Sphere in Las Vegas, which will run from October 1, 2026 through March 13, 2027.

As always, a portion of proceeds from every ticket sold will go to local charities via the band’s All Within My Hands foundation.

Metallica covers all administrative costs, so 100% of donations go directly to the organizations supported by the Foundation.

Oasis Announce Oasis Live ’27
Oasis have today ended months of feverish speculation with the announcement that they will return to the live stage in 2027. Oasis Live ‘27 will see the band play 38 live shows, visiting Scotland, England, Germany, Spain, Netherlands, France, Italy, US and Ireland. With the exception of homecoming shows in Manchester, the tour will see the band perform in a completely new set of locations from the Oasis Live ‘25 tour. Special guest at all shows will be Richard Ashcroft.
Oasis said:
“START THE CELEBRATIONS!!!!
After a period of reflection “The Most Damaging Pop Cultural Force In Recent British History” has declared itself fit for purpose and will once again return to lift the spirits of the people.
Come witness the fitness.
It shall be a sight to behold.”
Demand for Oasis Live ’27 is expected to be extremely high, and so a registration process has been put in place to reduce queuing times and organised ticket touting in order to give genuine fans the best possible chance to buy tickets.Registration is open now at www.oasisinet.com.
For the chance to buy tickets, fans must register before Thursday 17 September at 4pm BST /5pm CEST / 8am PT / 11am ET. Fans who are successful will be sent a unique, non-transferable code to access an allocated onsale window. Onsale windows vary by city and will run between Friday 25September and Sunday 27 September. Fans will be informed directly which of the onsale windows they can access, and at what time. The registration process is the only public way to buy tickets for Oasis Live ’27. There will be no general onsale or other public presales outside of this process.This structure has been created to ensure the purchase process is as fair and smooth as possible for Oasis fans. Further details about the ticket registration process are available at www.oasisinet.com.
When Oasis announced their return in August 2024, the news dominated conversations across the globe. The now iconic photograph of Noel and Liam Gallagher, standing shoulder to shoulder for the first time in over 15 years, adorned every news channel, social media feed, newspaper front page and broadcast outlet, carried by a tidal wave of excitement from fans who never thought they would see this moment come to be. The Oasis Live ‘25 tour became a global cultural phenomenon overnight. During their time away from the stage, new generations around the world had continued to discover the band’s music. Fans’ love forOasis only deepened and grew. Expectation reached unprecedented levels, yet no one could have foreseen the euphoria and outpouring of emotion that Oasis’ return created. The narrative changed. Joy, unity and togetherness remain.Impulsive moments of celebration, led by the fans, have become folkloric. More than 10 million fans from 158 countries queued to buy tickets. An estimated £1billion was generated for the UK economy. What Oasis achieved during 2025 was undeniable, the only question remaining was what lay in store next.
A “pause fora period of reflection” followed. Whilst 10 months have elapsed since theOasis Live ‘25 tour finale in Sao Paulo in November 2025, Oasis’ seismic comeback continues to be felt globally. ‘Wonderwall’ was adopted by the football fans as the unofficial national anthem during England’s 2026 World Cup campaign. In July 2026, (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? overtook TheBeatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band to become the UK’s best-selling studio album of all time. And on the big screen, Oasis: Don’tLook Back In Anger, the landmark film from Steven Knight, directed by DylanSouthern and Will Lovelace received its world premiere at the VeniceInternational Film Festival to huge critical acclaim and a deep emotional reaction from the fans.
