THE WALLFLOWERS: Bringing Down the Horse 30th Anniversary Tour- Sun 7pm, Pensacola Saenger Theatre, INFO HERE  

It seems that people are continuing to relieve themselves during the “Stick Season” artist’s concerts not in the proper facilities, but right there in their own seats. 

Back in June, after it was reported that someone had defecated in their seats during his show, Kahan posted, “If you have to go at a show please dear god just go to the bathroom lmao.” Now, a month later, a fan reported that someone used a section at Citi Field as their own personal toilet to urinate into during Kahan’s show at the New York City stadium over the weekend.

During his show in Washington, D.C, on Wednesday, Kahan responded to the latest bodily waste incident as part of a bit in his song “Dial Drunk.”

While pretending to speak on a payphone, Kahan took a call from “Congress,” which informs him that “people have been peeing all over the floor at my shows, as well.”

“You guys are ordering by act of Congress that everyone has to wear diapers before they get in? Is that what we’ve come to?” Kahan continued. 

He concluded, “Alright, you heard Congress, f****** put some diapers on next time, y’all.”

For what it’s worth, Kahan does seem to have some sway when it comes to matters of legislation. He supported a bill to put a cap on ticket resale prices in his home state of Vermont that passed in May, and is also behind a similar bill proposal in Massachusetts.

Kahan is currently on tour in support of his new album, The Great Divide.

The R.E.M. frontman has just debuted a new song, “Hum Desiderata,” on the sound exhibition platform Joyfully Waiting.

According to the description, the song “combines Stipe’s recitation of the poem Desiderata by Max Ehrmann from his installation at ICA Milan” with an instrumental track by Stipe and Andy LeMaster. It also features additional vocals from artist Elizabeth Hatmaker.

The track is now streaming at joyfully-waiting.ch.

Stipe talked about his solo album during an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in April, sharing that it is finally set to be released at the end of 2026. He also debuted a song from the record, “The Rest of Ever,” backed by the Colbert house band, Louis Cato and The Great Big Joy Machine.

Stipe also released the song “I Played the Fool,” which he recorded with producer Andrew Watt, in March. It’s the theme to the HBO series Rooster.

Among the artists you’ll be able to watch from the comfort of your own home are The Smashing Pumpkins, Lorde, Yungblud, The xx, Wet Leg, Turnstile, Geese, Wolf Alice, The Neighbourhood, sombr, Empire of the Sun, beabadoobee and Not for Radio.

The Lollapalooza 2026 livestream will air via Disney+ and Hulu. For the full streaming lineup, visit Lollapalooza.com/livestream.

Lollapalooza 2026 takes place July 30 through Aug. 2 in Chicago.

The Smashing Pumpkins have announced “Pumpkinpalooza” in celebration of the band’s upcoming headlining set at their hometown festival too. It’ll mark the first time the Pumpkins, which formed in Chicago, have headlined Lolla since it moved to the Windy City’s Grant Park in 2005.

“Pumpkinpalooza” will kick off with a sold-out underplay show Wednesday at Chicago’s Rivera Theatre. From Wednesday through Friday, fans can visit a Pumpkins pop-up shop offering exclusive merchandise, located at 900 S. Wabash Ave.

Lolla attendees can stop by Madame Zuzu’s Celestial Lounge, described as an expansion of frontman Billy Corgan’s Madame Zuzu’s teashop, which he runs in Highland Park, Illinois, with his wife, Chloé Mendel Corgan.

For even more Pumpkins festivities, you can visit the Chicago bar The Aviary to try its limited-edition specialty cocktail, Infinite Mellons, named after the band’s classic 1995 album, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.

“As a Chicagoan, born and raised, I take great pride in contributing to our city’s immense and colorful cultural fabric,” Corgan says in a statement. “And so this year’s already historic Lollapalooza is that chance to make new memories, new friends, and have a bit of Midwest fun, too as only we might.”

Lollapalooza 2026 takes place Thursday through Sunday; the Pumpkins take the stage on Friday. The bill also includes Lorde, The xx, Turnstile, sombr, Empire of the Sun, Wet Leg, Yungblud, The Neighbourhood and beabadoobee.

Matt Mathews is a comedian, singer/songwriter, and unapologetic trailblazer whose raw honesty, razor-sharp wit, and unmistakable Southern charm have made him one of comedy’s fastest-rising stars. Born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama, Mathews first captured national attention during the pandemic with his viral “farm chore” videos, turning everyday chaos, unfiltered storytelling, and authentic humor into a social media phenomenon. Today, he has built a devoted audience of more than 15 million followers and generated over a billion views across platforms.

What started as a playful escape from his full-time career as a boudoir photographer quickly evolved into a breakout comedy career. After performing stand-up for the first time in 2022, Mathews rapidly went from small clubs to sold-out theaters and arenas across the country. His wildly successful Boujee On A Budget Tour sold more than 250,000 tickets and included multiple performances at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium as well as his first-ever arena show in his hometown of Birmingham.

Now, Mathews returns to the stage with his newest tour, Not What I Ordered — a hilarious and deeply personal look at life not going according to plan. Through stories about relationships, family, fame, farm life, mental health, and the chaos of everyday living, Mathews delivers the kind of brutally honest comedy that has made fans feel like they’ve known him forever. Equal parts outrageous, heartfelt, and wildly relatable, the tour showcases his unique ability to turn life’s messiest moments into unforgettable comedy.

Additionally, Matt recently turned his popular Farm Chores videos into a YouTube series called, Farm Chores with Matt Matthews & Friends that premiered in March 2026 with Funny Marco and has since had Heather McMahan, Dasha, Trailer Trash Tammy, and Anjelah Johnson on to name a few. He also stars in the digital series, Doin The Most with Matt Mathews and Kail Lowry with Season 2 premiering this summer. 

Mathews’ work is rooted in his real-life experiences as a farmer, barrel racer, entrepreneur, proud Alabamian, and openly gay entertainer navigating the industry with authenticity and humor. His perspective has earned him recognition from Deadline, which named him among the “Future of Comedy,” as well as praise from The Advocate for the path he continues to carve in entertainment.

Whether performing stand-up, recording music, or filming from the farm, Matt Mathews continues to build a career entirely on his own terms — proving that sometimes life may be not what you ordered, but it might turn out even better. For tour dates, music updates, and more, visit mattmathews.com.

Matt moved from Memphis to Mobile in the Fall of 2001 to help co host the well known Morning Guys Show, on the legendary station WABB where he met his personal hero, Pablo. He left there in 2007 to teach radio production at The University of South Alabama, becoming the first voice of JAG Football from 2009-2010 and helped get South Alabama’s College station, 97.1 the Prowl up and on the air, which was completed in 2016. In between, he also hosted shows on Q100 in Pensacola, and 1073 in Mobile, leaving there in 2018 to come join the ZEW KREWE as the Marketing and Promotions Director.

He currently hosts the morning show from 6 AM – 10AM each weekday + Saturdays too!

He also hosts the Mid Day Jam Session on 96.5 The Crab from 11AM-1PM.
