Wednesday, August 12, 2026. Ritchie Blackmore will play with Deep Purple tonight at Jones Beach for the first time since 1993 — announced by Blackmore himself on Instagram Live, complete with a fresh set of Strat strings and a stool in case he topples over. Suicide Silence frontman Eddie Hermida co-founds Arson Theory, a full-service artist-first music company with Shadow Of Intent, 3Teeth and roughly thirty-five acts already on the roster. And Lionsgate confirms an eight-disc 4K collector's set for Rob Zombie's Firefly trilogy on October 13.

Scott Penfold breaks it all down in under five minutes.
