Limp Bizkit are coming back to Canada, in 2027. The band will join Metallica and Avatar for the 2027 North American leg of Metallica’s massive M72 World Tour, opening the run on May 8 at Vancouver’s BC Place. Metallica are the headliners, with Limp Bizkit and Avatar serving as support throughout all 12 newly announced stadium dates.

Vancouver is currently the only Canadian stop on the newly announced itinerary. The May 8 concert kicks off a run that will take the three bands through San Diego, El Paso, San Antonio, Kansas City, Indianapolis, Buffalo, Cleveland and other U.S. cities before wrapping June 19 in Salt Lake City.

After passing through Eastern Canada for festival dates this summer, Limp Bizkit is hitting up the West Coast. This time, Fred Durst and company will be playing BC Place as part of a stadium-scale Metallica production, with the M72 stage positioned in the centre of the field so fans surround the performance.

Metallica launched the M72 tour in 2023, and the band says the trek has already brought nearly five million fans to shows across 26 countries. The 2027 leg follows Metallica’s Life Burns Faster residency at Las Vegas’ Sphere, which runs through March 13.

Tickets for the Vancouver show go on general sale September 25 at 10 a.m. local time, with fan-club presales beginning September 21.

The 2027 Grammys Contenders for Song of the Year Should Be Predominantly Women

Leading up to the Grammy nominations on Nov. 16, “Rolling Stone” is breaking down 11 different categories. For each, we’re predicting the nominees, as well as who will (and who should) win on Grammy night.

If there’s one through line for the likely 2027 Song of the Year nominees, it’s that it’s a wide-open field. “There isn’t something like a ‘Not Like Us,’ the song that everyone is anointing as the great song,” says Tony Gervino, editor-in-chief of Tidal, citing 2025’s big winner by Kendrick Lamar.

Thom Yorke and Harry Styles Come Together in Epic Conversation

Two years ago, in the summer of 2024, Harry Styles was strolling down a small cobblestone side street in Rome, when he suddenly noticed a face he recognized. It was Radiohead’s Thom Yorke, one of his biggest musical heroes. He introduced himself — just two stars walking the streets incognito, with no entourage. As Styles confesses to Yorke now, with a shy grin, “You, to me, had always been that person that I was scared of meeting.”

Yorke and Styles might seem like they’re from two different worlds — the planet’s most dazzling glam-pop prince versus the high priest of art-rock angst. But today, they’re busy making each other laugh on a sunny July afternoon in London, at a studio near Camden Town. Yorke has been known to be a thorny interview subject, ever since the early days of Radiohead. Yet today he lets down his guard, as he basks in the presence of the equally notorious charm of Harry Edward Styles. They crack each other up like mischievous schoolboys.

No Stairway? Denied! Five Times Led Zeppelin Declined to License Their Song Prior to ‘Narnia’

The trailer for Greta Gerwig’s long-awaited Netflix movie Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew dropped earlier this week. Narnia fans were delighted to catch their first glimpse of child actors David McKenna and Beatrice Campbell as the characters Digory Kirke and Polly Plummer, along with a peek of author C.S. Lewis’ mythical land and its magical inhabitants. But classic rock fans were barely able to process any of that once “Stairway to Heaven” began playing.

Simply put, “Stairway to Heaven” is one of the most difficult works in music history to license for on-screen use. There have been several notable attempts over the years, but Jimmy Page and Robert Plant control their own publishing, and they hold onto this particular song quite tight for more than 50 years.

Drake Makes Billboard History With 18th No. 1 R&B/Hip-Hop Album

Drake has become the artist with the most No. 1 albums in the history of Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, claiming the record outright with his 18th chart-topper.

The Toronto rapper reached the milestone as HABIBTI returned to the top following the October 2 release of HABIBTI (FOMO), a deluxe edition featuring four additional tracks. The album climbed from No. 35 to No. 1 on the chart dated October 17, according to Billboard, earning 71,000 equivalent album units in the United States during the October 2-8 tracking week. That represented a 506 per cent increase over the previous week.
