Styx, Kevin Cronin of REO Speedwagon, and Don Felder Announce 2025 North American Tour

Legendary rockers STYX and Kevin Cronin, the iconic voice and writer behind REO SPEEDWAGON’s greatest hits, have one of the strongest brotherly bonds spanning 25 years, especially since they’ve crossed paths on the North American concert trail along with the occasional joint festival concert. Fittingly, next spring and summer they’ll join forces for the sixth time for their “Brotherhood Of Rock” tour, along with special guest Don Felder (a former lead guitarist for THE EAGLES),that will kick off May 28, 2025 in Greenville, South Carolina at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena.

It wouldn’t be summer without a live celebration of some of the greatest rock anthems of all time, including “Renegade”, “Keep On Loving You”, “Come Sail Away”, “Can’t Fight This Feeling” and “Hotel California”.

The official trailer for the “Brotherhood Of Rock” tour can be seen below.

STYX and Kevin Cronin (as part of REO SPEEDWAGON) first toured together in 2000 and in 2001 after the 9/11 attacks, they came together to form the Rock To The Rescue 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, which still collects donations for local charities at every stop on STYX’s ongoing tour.

General tickets for the trek, produced by Live Nation, will go on sale starting Friday, December 13 at 10 a.m. local time on LiveNation.com. STYX and Kevin Cronin will be offering VIP packages via their own exclusive pre-sales beginning Tuesday, December 10 at 10 a.m. local time, as well as at LiveNation.com.

Citi is the official card of the “Brotherhood Of Rock” tour. Citi cardmembers will have access to presale tickets in the U.S. beginning December 9 at 10 a.m. local time through the Citi Entertainment program.

Canadian fans who are American Express cardmembers can get Front Of The Line presale access to purchase tickets to the Toronto show before the general public beginning December 9 at 10 a.m. local time at ticketmaster.ca/americanexpress/94.

STYX singer/guitarist Tommy Shaw says: “The winter of 1975 I had returned home to Montgomery, Alabama after accepting the fact that there was very little, if any, interest from club owners for seven-piece rock bands who played their original songs (some of which were 10 minutes long),and we’d finally accepted the reality that people wanted disco music hits to dance to. A musician friend from home called me about a steady gig he and two other local musician friends had in the lounge of the local bowling alley. There was no dance floor, only tables and chairs, and they were playing music from bands like THE EAGLES, Dan Fogelberg, etc. and singing three-part harmony to locals who were loving it and not wanting to dance. And a steady weekly paycheck! I joined them and spent the rest of that year playing whatever we liked, bought a modest house, bought a used car, and was relieved to be off the road after two years of night club managers who wanted us to play disco. Thinking I’d found a secure life in my hometown, I got a call from a guy named Jim Vosecek, who’d introduced himself to me and the band at a club in Chicago. He explained that he was tour manager of the rock band STYX, that they had just released a new album called ‘Equinox’, and they were scheduled to embark on their first national tour when a member suddenly quit and left the band. He said to get on the plane they’d booked and come audition. Arriving at O’Hare airport, I met Kevin Cronin who was returning to rejoin his band, REO SPEEDWAGON. It was the beginning of a lifelong friendship that finds us back on the road together, this time under much different circumstances! The ‘Brotherhood Of Rock’ is stronger than ever!”

Cronin says: “I remember seeing Tommy’s seven-piece funk/rock band at the Rush Up club in Chicago, during my mid-’70s REO hiatus, and then bumping into him at O’Hare Airport a few weeks later,” remembers Kevin Cronin. “In no time I was back in REO SPEEDWAGON and Tommy had become the newest member of STYX. REO and STYX dominated the Billboard charts in 1981 with ‘Hi Infidelity’ and ‘Paradise Theatre’, but for reasons unknown we had never toured together. So in the year 2000, Tommy and I decided to give it a shot. The ‘Arch Allies’ tour was a smashing success, and a life-long friendship was formed. Now, here we are 25 years later, having always had each other’s back, and psyched for our bands to join forces once again for the ‘Brotherhood Of Rock’ tour. A lot has changed since that chance encounter at the airport in 1975, but our brotherhood has only become stronger through the years, as the songs of STYX and REO SPEEDWAGON have found a place in the hearts and souls of people all across America.”

Felder says: “I’m so excited to be hitting the road this summer with my friends STYX and Kevin Cronin. It’s such a great lineup full of hit songs and lots of rock and roll!!! We have so much fun together both on stage and off stage that it’s hard to find a more wonderful combination of great music and great friends. This is one show you won’t want to miss. See you soon.”

Why Christmas Songs From Mariah Carey, Wham!, Brenda Lee, Bobby Helms, Burl Ives, and Andy Williams Chart Year After Year

Every December, the Billboard Hot 100 Top 40 sees a wave of older Christmas classics reclaiming their spots on the charts, with songs by Mariah Carey, Wham!, Brenda Lee, Bobby Helms, Burl Ives, and Andy Williams leading the charge. This phenomenon isn’t just a quirk of the season but a testament to how deeply intertwined holiday music is with cultural tradition, streaming habits, and the evolution of charting metrics. These songs, some decades old, resurface annually as a cherished part of the holiday experience, transcending generations and trends.

The enduring popularity of Christmas songs lies in their ability to evoke a sense of nostalgia and connection. Tracks like “All I Want for Christmas Is You” and “Last Christmas” are more than just music—they’re fixtures of the season that accompany family gatherings, gift exchanges, and festive celebrations. Their themes of love, joy, and togetherness resonate universally, ensuring that they remain relevant regardless of the era.

Streaming platforms have revolutionized how listeners engage with music, and holiday songs are no exception. With curated playlists like “Christmas Classics” and “Holiday Hits,” platforms like Spotify and Apple Music create a direct pathway for audiences to revisit their favorite holiday tracks. The sheer volume of streams these songs accumulate in December is enough to vault them onto the charts, often outperforming newer songs that lack the same seasonal appeal.

Cultural rituals also play a significant role in the resurgence of these classics. From department stores to television commercials, Christmas music dominates public spaces during the holidays, reinforcing its association with the season. Films and media further amplify this connection by consistently featuring these tracks, introducing them to younger audiences while reigniting fond memories for older generations.

Billboard’s chart methodology further solidifies the dominance of older Christmas songs. The Hot 100 ranks tracks based on a combination of streaming, radio airplay, and sales, with streaming holding significant weight in recent years. During December, holiday songs see a predictable surge in streams that often outpaces contemporary releases, allowing them to climb the charts despite their age.

Another factor contributing to the annual return of these songs is the relative scarcity of new holiday hits. While artists occasionally release fresh Christmas tracks, they rarely achieve the same cultural resonance as the classics. The staying power of songs like Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” underscores how challenging it is to craft a holiday tune that captures the collective imagination and becomes an enduring staple.

These songs also benefit from their multigenerational appeal. They’re as beloved by those who grew up with them as they are by younger listeners discovering them through modern platforms. This cross-generational popularity ensures that they remain central to holiday celebrations, uniting listeners of all ages in shared traditions.

Ultimately, the resurgence of older Christmas songs on the charts each year is a reflection of their timeless quality and cultural significance. Far from being outdated, they’ve become an essential part of how we celebrate the season, blending nostalgia with modern listening habits to create a unique and enduring musical phenomenon. As long as the holiday spirit endures, these classics will continue to dominate December.

What to Expect from the Next Festivals in Las Vegas in 2025

By Mitch Rice

Las Vegas will be a very exciting city to visit in 2025 if you love festivals. Its electrifying nightlife is guaranteed to offer you a memorable experience. Whether you want to enhance your visit with good food or a live gaming session in one of the famous casinos, you can find everything your heart desires.

Here are the major Las Vegas festivals worth attending in 2025:

Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) – May 16-18, 2025

Near the end of Spring, Las Vegas will host one of the most epic electronic music festivals on the planet. EDC will be a three-day event that features great DJs and world-class music producers.

As usual, the music will be accompanied by mesmerizing visuals, pyrotechnics, and a range of interactive art installations.

The location will be the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Its seating capacity is around 130,000, which means that the organizers are expecting a huge crowd to attend the festival. If you’re a fan of EDM, this event should definitely be on your calendar.

Punk Rock Bowling & Music Festival – May 24-26

For those with different musical preferences, the Punk Rock Bowling & Music Festival could be exactly what they need to relax and enjoy a fantastic atmosphere.

This is another three-day event that combines live performances with other forms of entertainment. Its name speaks for itself and is not just a metaphor. There will be bowling activities as part of the show, as well as pool parties.

This festival is well-known for its intimate atmosphere and popular punk bands. It celebrates the spirit of the genre in a fun and relaxed environment. A bit of rebellion and a bit of relaxation go well together.

The key to a memorable experience is to go with friends. The city feels more alive at night than during the day, which is not something you encounter everywhere.

When We Were Young Festival – October 18

In October next year, Las Vegas will be home to the nostalgic “When We Were Young Festival”. If you want to experience Autumn in this part of the US, you should go and enjoy yourself at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds. The festival only lasts one day but it will be a day full of beautiful memories.

Among the music genres you can expect to hear are pop-punk and alternative rock. Get ready for some singalongs with legendary bands and an atmosphere that will remind you of the early 2000s.

This festival is perfect for those who are over 30 years old. You can attend it even if you’re in your early 20s but you probably won’t understand some of the musical references unless you’ve taken the time to listen to the music that was popular 25 years ago.

Other Festivals

If you’re not interested in any of the three major festivals mentioned previously, you could still travel to Las Vegas in 2025 to take part in the Holo Holo Festival, which will delight those who love reggae and Hawaiian music.

This festival will be held in the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center and will feature artists like Steel Pulse and Common Kings.

Another festival in the same spirit will be held in October. It’s called the Reggae Rise Up Festival. For those who are fans of this genre, it will be a great opportunity to discover new artists and subgenres.

Other Things To See

If you go to Las Vegas and want to take a broader look at the city, you should know that almost nowhere on Earth will you find so much entertainment in so many ways.

Of course, the city is legendary for its casinos, including the Bellagio, whose fountains are iconic. Another hub of luxury and entertainment is Caesars Palace. Or, if you prefer a place that regularly hosts big concerts and boxing events, the MGM Grand is absolutely perfect.

The city can be experienced in many forms. It all depends on your personal tastes and budget. The people who join you on this journey are also important. Depending on who’s with you, you can have more fun in some ways than others.

Whatever you do, make sure you visit the city at night, as its real face can only be discovered after the sunset.

David Sylvian’s ‘The Good Son vs The Only Daughter’ and ‘Died in the Wool’ Debut on Vinyl

David Sylvian‘s ‘The Good Son Vs The Only Daughter – The Blemish Remixes’ and ‘Dyed in the Wool – Manafon Variations’ will be released on vinyl for the first time in January 2025. Initially released on Sylvian’s samadhisound label in 2005 and 2011, respectively, but were previously only available on digitally and on CD.

‘The Good Son Vs The Only Daughter’ is the nine-track companion to David’s 2003 solo album, Blemish. The record features remixes by Burnt Friedman, Sweet Billy Pilgrim, Ryoji Ikeda, Readymade FC, Yoshihiro Hanno, Tatsuhiko Asano, Akira Rabelais, Jan Bang, and Erik Honoré.

‘Dyed in the Wool’ features six songs from Sylvian’s 2009 album, ‘Manafon’, which have been reworked by modern classical composer Dai Fujikura. The album reinvents the ‘Manafon’ songs and adds new material, including “I Should Not Dare” and “A Certain Slant of Light”, poems by Emily Dickinson set to music by Sylvian and Fennesz, sung by Sylvian, both of which feature Bang & Honoré, plus two new powerful compositions by Sylvian and Fujikura.

The album also features an 18-minute stereo mix of ‘When We Return You Won’t Recognise Us’ from the 2008–09 Biennial of Canaries. Sylvian, along with Fujikura, John Butcher, Arve Henriksen, Günter Müller, Toshimaru Nakamura, and Eddie Prevost, created a semi-improvised piece for the commissioned sound installation. The piece, inspired by a genetics research article on the original inhabitants of the islands, was recorded at Air studios London and Sylvian’s own samadhisound studios in NH USA.
