Kenny Chesney’s Surprise Guest, Parmalee’s #1, and More!
  • Kenny Chesney’s Tortuga Takeover: No one does a beach party like Kenny Chesney. To kick off his 2026 “Sun Goes Down” stadium run, Chesney headlined the Tortuga Music Festival this past weekend. In a moment that went viral instantly, he brought out Megan Moroney for a soulful duet, followed by a surprise appearance from Uncle Kracker to perform their classic hit “When the Sun Goes Down.”
  • Parmalee Hits #1: A massive “Cheers!” is in order for Parmalee. Their latest single, “God Knew Better,” officially reached the summit of the country radio charts this week. It’s a major milestone for the group, marking their continued ability to blend infectious pop hooks with heartland country sentiment.
  • Post Malone & Jelly Roll Ticket Fever: If you’re looking for tickets to the Post Malone & Jelly Roll “Big A– Stadium Tour,” be prepared to pay a premium. Secondary market searches have spiked by 400% this week as the tour’s opening night approaches.
