Compared to Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo and Coachella, Outside Lands is like the little sister of musical festivals. The other U.S. fests established themselves in the 90's or early 2000's; the San Francisco fest didn't start until 2008. Despite its short run however, the Outside Lands' organizers have managed to pull together another very impressive lineup this year, which includes Paul McCartney,...

Wayne Coyne of The Flaming Lips thinks that Ke$ha is absolutely awesome. That's why he's announced that he'll be making his band's next record with the famed pop singer. Also Depeche Mode announced the opening acts for their upcoming international tour. And Sir Paul McCartney has added more shows to his Out There tour. All that and more below.

Paul McCartney has announced that he will tour the world in 2013. His first stop will be on June 22 in Warsaw Poland, a place he and his band have never been to. As a matter of fact, the tour, entitled Out There!, will highlight places never visited by him and the band. The former Beatles singer also revealed that he is working on a new studio album.

Having, of course, long ago grown sick and tired of the ceaseless attention paid to such lesser members of The Beatles as John Lennon, George Harrison, and Paul McCartney, society has long wished for a museum exhibition dedicated solely to exploring the life and times of drummer Ringo Starr.  For as well all know, there’s been no more...

If you weren't able to get tickets to Coachella this year, maybe you'll consider heading east for a summer music festival. The Bonnaroo lineup was just announced and the headliners are pretty impressive. Paul McCartney, Tom Petty, Mumford & Sons and Bjork are among the biggest acts on the roster. The Tennessee event doesn't usually sell out as quickly as the California desert festival, but...

Instead of bringing back Kurt Cobain from the dead (via hologram), Dave Grohl and Friends are getting Sir Paul McCartney to front their Nirvana semi-reunion at tonight's Sandy benefit concert.

Last week we heard news that some activists in Sweden were plastering pictures with Rihanna's beatup face all around Stockholm. Their goal was to prevent Chris Brown from performing in their town. This week, Rihanna and Chris Brown's newest single, titled "Nobody's Business" (of course!) leaked online. We wonder how those activists feel about the track, which we have for you down...

We emphasize the Might Be part of the headline because the report comes to us via Us Weekly. But if the wedding report is true then looks like Paul McCartney will marry Nancy Shevell this weekend at his farmhouse in Sussex, England. "It will be a small, intimate wedding," a source told Us Weekly. "It's going to be very elegant and...

Look, I know that I say a lot of stuff on here is a preamble to the apocalypse, and I turn out to be wrong each time… but if this isn’t the beginning of the end, I don’t know what is—Taylor Swift sells more concert tickets than a Beatle.

We'll never know what might have happened - or more specifically what music we might have heard - had The Beatles not disbanded. And for that great rock n' roll mystery we can thank John Lennon. In a conversation with radio host Geoff Lloyd on Absolute Radio this week, Paul  McCartney revealed that it was Lennon who demanded that The Beatles...

Although Steve Martin is known primarily as a comedic actor, lately, he's tried his hand at the world of music, with some surprising success; his 2009 bluegrass album The Crow won a Grammy award for the best bluegrass album of the year. As such, he'll be releasing another disc, and according to DimeWars, he welcomed a very special guest to appear on one of the tracks: Paul...

Emma Stone may just be climbing up to the peak of her career in terms of popularity (first with Superbad, The House Bunny, Zombieland and now Easy A), but it turns out that the young actress can actually hold down a conversation decent enough to hold the interest of one of the Beatles. According to US Magazine, Stone met...

We talk so much about Paul McCartney and The Beatles that sometimes we forget that he was in another awesome band called Wings. The singer-songwriter has decided to release their 1973 album Band on the Run, which debuted after his much talked about split with The Beatles. The announcement was made on his website Thursday and now fans all over are...

Sir Paul McCartney has consistently been in the news for a while thanks to the Gershwin Prize he's received. Prior to the award ceremony being aired on PBS a couple of days ago, we some sneak peeks including the massive sing-a-long to "Hey Jude" and The White Stripes/Raconteurs/Dead Weather band member, Jack White's cover of Beatles song, "Mother Nature's Son." Well guess,...

Last month, we gave you a little snippet of how it all went down at the White House as Paul McCartney was honored with the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song. We saw the joyous event that got President Obama, his wife, Jack White, Dave Grohl, Stevie Wonder and more up on their feet as they all sung along to the classic tune, "Hey Jude." Now, we've got another clip for you courtesy of PBS (via...

While yesterday was Ringo Starr’s 70th birthday, it seems as if hardcore Beatles fans and obsessives were the ones who got the best present, as Ringo’s All Star Band – which was performing a birthday set (with Ringo on drums, natch) at Radio City Music Hall in New York City – was joined live and onstage by Paul McCartney for a roaring take on the Beatles’ “Birthday” (and since...

Nice touch by Paul McCartney who paid tribute to Jimi Hendrix during his 27-song, career-spanning performance last night as he closed the Isle of Wight Festival. McCartney dropped in a few bars of "Purple Haze" at the end of "Let Me Roll It," a special tribute to Hendrix to mark the 40th anniversary of the guitar god's legendary performance...

Because no one has ever, ever misinterpreted the lyrics of the Beatles or their message, MVD Visual has announced the release of a DVD entitled PAUL McCARTNEY REALLY IS DEAD, The Last Testament of George Harrison, which continues and builds upon the hoax that Paul McCartney was killed in a 1966 car accident and...

We previously shared the news with you about Paul McCartney receiving one of the highest honor in pop music. Last night he went on over to the White House to take the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song but, of course, Paul McCartney doesn't just show up to a place without putting on a classic "would've been cool to be there" kind of shows. During the ceremony, there were...

Legendary Beatle and multi-talented musician, Sir Paul McCartney will receive Washington's highest honor for pop music this week by the Library of Congress, The Gershwin Prize for Popular Song. The award is named for the U.S. songwriting brothers George and Ira Gershwin whose collections are housed at the library.
