Green Day release ‘Bobby Sox’ live music video
Green Day relives the “Saviors” tour with their new live video for “Bobby Sox.”
The clip, directed and filmed by Ryan Baxley, is a montage of footage recorded across the North American jaunt.
“We’ve had the best year ever playing these shows for you!!” the band posted on social media. “Here’s a look back at Bobby Sox from this summer. One of our favorites to play each night 🤘 Last show of the year is on Friday, Mexico City we hope you’re ready!!!”

Jack White drops new song “You Got Me Searching”
Jack White has shared new single “You Got Me Searching,” the b-side to the No Name track, “That’s How I’m Feeling.” The song is the type of blues-rocking ripper White excels at. It’s nearly four minutes of White’s distinguished howls and blazing riffs.
Next Friday (November 22nd) the song along with its A-Side “That’s How I’m Feeling” will be released on a limited-edition 7-inch vinyl via Third Man Records.
Listen to the song below.
White also announced his 2025 North American tour, which starts in February. See all the dates here.
Pitchfork Music Festival is leaving Chicago in 2025
Pitchfork Music Festival has announced that it will not host an event in Chicago next year ending its 19-year run.
“As the music festival landscape continues to evolve rapidly, we have made the difficult decision not to host Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago in 2025,” organizers said in a statement.
“This decision was not made lightly. For 19 years, Pitchfork Music Festival has been a celebration of music, art, and community—a space where memories were made, voices were amplified, and the shared love of music brought us all together,” organizers added.
In addition to a competitive music festival market, the publication and its parent company Conde Nast has faced economic hardships over the past year driven by decreased traffic. Earlier this year, Pitchfork saw a series of layoffs as part of a restructuring by Conde Nast.
Pitchfork plans to continue “to produce events in 2025 and beyond,” but the future of the festival remains uncertain.
