Live Nation's $30 summer concert deal includes Richmond shows
Live Nation 's new summer concert promotion is coming, and the live music behemoth will offer $30 tickets to roughly 1,000 concerts nationwide. Why it matters: The " $30 Ticket to Summer" launches Wednesday and includes more than a dozen shows at Richmond's (and Live Nation's) new Allianz Amphitheater at Riverfront. Zoom in: Boyz II Men, Brad Paisley, Jason Isbell, The Head and The Heart, Leon Bridges and Weird Al Yankovic are among the Allianz shows included in the $30 ticket special, per Live Nation. In some cases, like the Counting Crows' July show, tickets end up being about $10 cheaper with the deal. In others, like Steve Martin and Martin Short in September, $30 is basically half-off the cheapest tickets currently available. Zoom out: If none of the Richmond shows spark your interest, the Ticket to Summer promo is also running for select shows at Live Nation's other venues in the state, which are: Atlantic Union Bank Pavilion in Portsmouth. and The Dome in Virginia Beach. Jiffy Lube Live in Northern Virginia. Highlights from those lineups on special include Kesha and comedian Kevin James in Virginia Beach, Cyndi Lauper in NoVa, and The Temptations & The Four Tops in Portsmouth. Flashback: Last summer, Live Nation celebrated 10 years of "Concert Week" with $25 tickets, but those deals only lasted one week. Between the lines: Tickets purchased through the offer include all the fees in the $30 cost, according to Live Nation. Any taxes, which differ among venues, will be added at checkout.

Surviving the Great Tupelo Gas Outage of 2025
While still ongoing for many, the Great Tupelo Gas Outage of 2025 is over for our household. Atmos employees stopped by around lunchtime Wednesday to restore gas service to our home. I was already headed home, just a couple of minutes from the house, when technicians stopped by and I received a frantic text from my wife who had seen them on our Ring doorbell camera. I pulled up, flagged them down in our neighbor's yard to let them know I was home and they came right over. For almost exactly seven days, we were without heat and hot water and unable to use our gas stove. Emily and I were certainly still thankful to have electricity, cold water and a roof over our heads. It could've been much worse, but in the 21st century, we're used to being comfortable. I'll admit, seven days of cold showers was enough for me. Mustering the will to step into the stream of frigid water, shivering while washing and stepping out into air that was just as unforgiving, with our indoor temperature hovering around the upper 50s overnight, was miserable. I got a bit more used to it each day, but never quite ready for it. Quoting a Jason Isbell song, I said, "It gets easier but it never gets easy." When it came to cooking, we found plenty of workarounds without gas — using our grill, Crockpot, air fryer and microwave. With so many local restaurants closed, we also supported the local businesses that were able to operate with limited menus last weekend. Ultimately, we made it through with relatively limited disruption to our daily lives, and I'm grateful for the response from Atmos Energy, local government and our community as a whole. I can't help but think things might not have gone as smoothly in other cities. Tupelo is a special place, and we shouldn't take that for granted — with or without natural gas.

A couple's concert tickets purchased on StubHub were stolen. Call For Action got them a refund.
Jason Isbell's heartfelt songs are part of the singer songwriter's appeal. Last fall, fans like Frank Beauregard and his wife Lee were excited to learn the Grammy Award winner had a February concert in the Boston area. Frank says he went on StubHub and bought the show tickets. Days later, Frank got an email from StubHub congratulating him for transferring the tickets. The only problem was he did not transfer the tickets. StubHub account hacked His account was hacked, and a fraudster stole the tickets. Frank was out $226. "That's a lot of money to us," Frank said. Frank's tickets were transferred to an email address that he never heard of. Looking to get his money back, Frank contacted StubHub for a refund, "they asked me if I gave anyone my password. I said no. They said they would be in contact with me." But days, weeks and months went by with no refund, despite Frank's persistent emails and calls. Finally, two months later he got a response from StubHub, an email that said he would be getting a link and could choose optional tickets or a refund. Frank says he waited again but never got the email with the link. Because he was hacked, his account was locked, preventing him from accessing any information. "Refund was mishandled" That's when Frank reached out to the I-Team's Call for Action, and we contacted StubHub. The company told us: "StubHub's FanProtect Guarantee protects every order providing comparable or better tickets, or your money back, in the rare instance of an issue. We regret that Mr. Beauregard experienced one of these rare instances with his ticket purchase and that his refund was mishandled. This experience does not reflect our usually high standards for service. He will receive a full refund, and a 50% credit, as an additional gesture for his unpleasant experience." Frank told the I-Team, "you got my money back within days. So, my family and myself we are grateful to you. It was worth reaching out to you guys. So, thank you very much." To prevent hackers from getting into your accounts, technology experts recommend using two factor authentication, a security process that requires two forms of identification to log into an account.

Jason Isbell's Bare-Bones Breakup Tune, and 7 More New Songs
Every Friday, pop critics for The New York Times weigh in on the week's most notable new tracks. Listen to the Playlist on Spotify here (or find our profile: nytimes) and at Apple Music here, and sign up for The Amplifier, a twice-weekly guide to new and old songs. Jason Isbell's new album, 'Foxes in the Snow,' is decisively unadorned: just Isbell singing over his acoustic guitar. It arrives following his divorce from Amanda Shires, who has her own songwriting career and was a member of his band. Over bare-bones fingerpicking in 'Eileen,' Isbell sings about separation, regrets, self-deception and how 'It ended like it always ends / Somebody crying on the phone.' He contends, 'Eileen, you should've seen this coming sooner,' but adds, almost fondly, 'You thought the truth was just a rumor, but that's your way.' It's not about blame — it's about getting through. The virtuoso string-band supergroup I'm With Her — Sarah Jarosz, Aiofe O'Donovan and Sara Watkins — has reconvened with the intimately ambitious 'Ancient Light.' The verses are in a gently disorienting 7/4; the instruments mix acoustic and electric, juxtaposing fiddle tune and math-rock; the lyrics lean into the metaphysical. As the song begins, Jarosz sings, 'Better get out of the way / Gonna figure out what I wanna say / I been a long time comin',' and it only gets more cosmic from there. Will Toledo's band Car Seat Headrest has announced its first album since 2020, 'The Scholars,' and it's a full-scale rock opera. The first single, 'Gethsemane,' is an 11-minute suite that ponders faith, morality, creativity, free will and love as the music unfurls with stretches of kraut-rock keyboard minimalism and roaring power chords that echo the Who's 'Tommy.' Toledo sings, 'A series of simple patterns slowly build themselves into another song / I don't know how it happened,' but the structure is ironclad. Sarah Tudzin — the songwriter and producer behind Illuminati Hotties — cranks up distorted guitars and harnesses quiet-LOUD grunge dynamics in '777,' a song that nearly explodes with joyful anticipation. 'I wanna figure you out,' she declares, but she's already sure that she's won any gamble: 'You're my spade / lucky 777.' All the noise doesn't hide the pop song within. 'I want your head on a stake / I want your head on a platter,' sing the Ophelias, an indie-rock band from Cincinnati, turning 'I' into a peal of vocal harmony. 'Salome' adapts an incident from the Bible into a seething, churning, implacable crescendo of guitars, drums and voices, calmly announcing, 'The knife sways heavy in my hand.' Yaeji, a New York City musician with Korean roots, and her co-producer E. Wata transmute a hand-clapping game into a mutating electronic beat in 'Pondeggi.' She chant-sings cryptically about the truth versus disinformation: 'Watch where you're going, head distraction / Keep, keep scrolling till you're rolling in passive.' There's a warning under the nonchalant surface. 'You make me erotic like 1990s salsa,' the Argentine songwriter Nathy Peluso exults in 'Erotika,' and she revives the style to prove her point. Piano, percussion and a swaggering horn session help her seduce a partner — and herself. The electronic composer Lyra Pramuk sets things swirling in 'Vega,' an assemblage of electronic and vocal loops that gets more menacing as it goes. A pulse gathers into a fitful beat; wordless sounds float in stereo; glitches and bleeps slice through. And eventually, Pramuk intones, 'Tell me your name' and 'Tell me your story.' Is this an acquaintanceship or an interrogation?
