Lamb of God are currently on the road with Killswitch Engage in support of their upcoming new album Omens. This past Friday (Sept. 9), they kicked off the run at the Ford Amphitheater on the Coney Island Boardwalk in New York.

The metal act played a 15-song set during the performance, including some of their biggest hits, as well as their two new 2022 singles Nevermore and Omens [via Setlist.fm]. The show also marked the return of guitarist Willie Adler after he was absent from their European tour dates in early August due to some matters he had to tend to back home. Vio-Lences Phil Demmel filled in for him for the time being, but now hes back.

Lamb of Gods tour with Killswitch Engage continues tomorrow night (Sept. 13) in Youngstown, Ohio. Baroness, Suicide Silence, Motionless in White, Spiritbox, Animals as Leaders and Fit for an Autopsy will serve as support on select dates. See the full itinerary below and get tickets here.

Omens will be available Oct. 7 via Epic Records, and can be pre-ordered now on Lamb of Gods website.

The world is crazy and keeps changing. Omens is a reaction to the state of the world. It’s a very pissed-off record, frontman Randy Blythe teased of the upcoming record when they announced it back in early June.

Rock and roll stars are known for making a racket, but on Friday in Ottawa, one big name frontman turned up to a local sports centre without one.

The Rideau Sports Centre posted to social media that Pearl Jam lead singer and guitarist Eddie Vedder turned up to play tennis but he needed an important tool.

“He borrowed our CEO and Founder’s (Nicki Bridgland) tennis racquet. What a thrill it was to meet him,” a post on the Rideau Sports Centre’s Facebook page.

Pearl Jam was in town to play the Canadian Tire Centre on Saturday. Bridgland told CTV News that Vedders visit was a surprise.

One of our staff came running up the stairs and asked the front desk manager, ‘Do we have any racquets we can borrow? Eddie Vedder is in the lobby, Bridgland said. “And I looked at him and said Are you joking or are you serious?”

Vedder and his manager played on court four, Bridgland said. As a thank you for lending her racquet, Vedder offered Bridgland tickets to the show. 

“’Alive’… ‘Even Flow’…I graduated in 1995 this was the playlist of my time,” she said.  “I feel very fortunate that timing and serendipity worked out and I had the opportunity to visit with him and he got to use my racquet.

Those who play regularly at the RSC were excited to hear of the musician’s visit.

“I dont deserve to play on this court anymore,” said Doug Lai. “Im sure he was much better than me.”

“Its cool he hung out in the city and didnt just pass through,” said Mitch Guazas.

The team at the RSC clearly enjoyed Saturday nights concert, writing on Facebook that it was INCREDIBLE.

Thank you for bringing such joy to Ottawa!

Fozzy frontman Chris Jericho injured his throat earlier this month during a wrestling event, therefore the bands tour has been postponed so that he can make a full recovery. The rockers issued a statement on their website regarding the incident.

On Aug. 10 during the Quake by the Lake AEW event in Minneapolis, Chris suffered a throat injury that left him with a severely bruised larynx. Unfortunately, even though the injury is healing and is not permanent, Chris hasn’t fully recovered and his laryngologist has recommended that Fozzy postpone the first two weeks of the Save The World tour (scheduled to start in Columbus on Sept. 8) in order to facilitate a full recovery as soon as possible, the statement reads.

The shows, which were originally scheduled to take place between Sept. 8 and 19 with No Resolve, GFM and Seventh Day Slumber, have been postponed until the spring of 2023. All tickets will be honored for the new dates. As it stands, Fozzys next show is set to take place Sept. 29 in Charlotte, N.C. In November, theyll head to Europe with Escape the Fate and Scarlet Rebels, and then Australia and New Zealand with Buckcherry later in the month.

See the updated itinerary for the North American leg of Fozzys tour below and get tickets through this link. We wish Jericho the best as he recovers from his injury.

A Lollapalooza security was arrested over the weekend for allegedly sending texts and faking Facebook posts that said there was mass shooting imminent at the festival. The 18-year old guard is accused of making up the threats so she wouldnt have the work the music festival and go home early.

ABC7 Chicago reported this week that weekend worker Janya Williams was behind bars after being charged with sending a fake text threatening the festival to a co-worker. The text read Mass shooting at 4 p.m. location Lollapalooza. We have 150 targets. This anonymous text, sent via TextNow, set off a chain reaction in the Chicago Police Department and the FBI after security supervisors notified authorities.

Williams shared another made up threat later. She allegedly told her boss that her sister had alerted her to another mass shooting threat on Facebook, and produced a screenshot from a fake account that Williams had made. Prosecutors say the message read Massive shooting at Lollapalooza GrantPark 6:00 p.m. The message was never actually posted on Facebook.

The ruse unraveled after authorities uncovered that Williams had sent the initial text, according to Block Club Chicago. An investigation into the  Apple ICloud account and an IP address showed they belonged to the [defendant]. Prosecutors said when Williams was brought in for questioning, she admitted she sent the message and created the fake post in order to leave work early.

Lollapalooza 2022 was sold out for the weekend shows, meaning there were about 100,000 people that could have been evacuated when Williams allegedly wanted to take some me-time.
