The Rock & Roll Hall of Famers have added a new show to their 2025 touring schedule that will take them to Sin City. They’re set to play PH Live at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino on Oct. 25.
Tickets for the show go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. PT.
The Vegas show is one of several concerts Steve Miller Band has booked for this year. Their summer tour is set to kick off Aug. 15 in Bethel, New York, with shows in Atlantic City, New Jersey; Long Island, New York; St. Paul, Minnesota; Memphis, Tennessee and more.
Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page is being sued by a songwriter who claims he is owed credit for writing the band’s hit song “Dazed and Confused.”
Songwriter Jake Holmes argues in legal documents that he is “sole owner of the copyright” of the song, which appeared on the band’s 1969 self-titled debut album.
According to the documents, Holmes wrote the song in 1967 and Page first recorded a reworked version in 1968 when he was a member of the Yardbirds. After their breakup, Page recorded the song with Led Zeppelin and gave himself sole credit as writer.
Holmes went on to sue Page over the song and the case was settled in 2011, with the recent legal documents noting that Page acknowledged that Holmes “created and had and has complete ownership” of the composition.
The new case argues that live recording of both the Yardbirds and Led Zeppelin versions of the song were featured in the recent documentary Becoming Led Zeppelin and credited as “written by Jimmy Page, inspired by Jake Holmes.” He argues that is false and that he hasn’t been compensated for their use. He also argues that since the 2011 settlement Page has released other live versions of the track without Holmes being credited or compensated.
Holmes is suing for copyright infringement and breach of contract, and has named Sony Pictures as one of the defendants in the case. He is seeking damages of at least $150,000 for each instance of infringement.

Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are going to be working together again, just not on music.
Variety has revealed the voice cast for the the 3D animated film High in the Clouds, based on McCartney’s children’s novel, and Starr is on board for the film.
Others lending their voices to the film include Celine Dion, Lionel Richie, Hannah Waddingham, Idris Elba, Jimmy Fallon, Clémence Poésy, Guardians of the Galaxy’s Pom Klementieff, French actor Alain Chabat and Himesh Patel, who starred in the Beatles-themed film Yesterday.
High in the Clouds, which McCartney wrote with Philip Ardagh in 2005, follows a teenage squirrel named Wirral in his quest to overthrow an owl named Gretsch who banned music in their city of Gretschville in an attempt to be the town’s only singer.
Toby Genkel, who directed the 2022 film The Amazing Maurice, is on board to helm the project, which will feature original songs written and composed by McCartney. In addition, Michael Giacchino, who did the music for Coco, is writing the score and Paddington 2’s Jon Croker is writing the script.
Soundgarden is among the 2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees, and guitarist Kim Thayil tells Rolling Stone what a possible performance would look like during the November ceremony without late frontman Chris Cornell.
“It’s up to the Hall to how they develop their program, but we would love to play there,” Thayil says. “Our discussions haven’t gone that deep yet, but you could probably look at the people that [drummer] Matt [Cameron], [bassist] Ben [Shepherd], and I have played with over the past handful of years, going back to the Chris Cornell Tribute Concert in 2019, there’s a few people we’ve performed with who on top of our head would be the first ones for the call.”
The Cornell tribute concert featured performances by artists including Taylor Momsen of The Pretty Reckless, Brandi Carlile, Miley Cyrus, Foo Fighters, Metallica and Queens of the Stone Age‘s Josh Homme.
Most recently, Thayil, Cameron and Shepherd played together alongside local Seattle artist Shaina Shepherd.
“I think the best I can say is look at the people we’ve worked with over the past five years,” Thayil says of the potential Rock Hall performance. “Then I take a note from what Nirvana did when they went in and they had three or four different singers [who] performed with them. I think it’s going to be something like that.”
Nirvana’s induction performance in 2014 featured guest vocalists Joan Jett, Lorde, St. Vincent and Kim Gordon in place of the late Kurt Cobain.
Elsewhere in the interview, Thayil comments on the possible release of a new Soundgarden record, which they’d been working on before Cornell’s 2017 death. The material has remained in limbo due to legal issues with Cornell’s estate.
“I have pride for what I did and I want to see that come out,” Thayil says.
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers released their fourth studio album, Hard Promises.
The album featured the future Petty classic “The Waiting,” as well as “Insider,” a duet with Stevie Nicks. It was recorded around the same time Petty and Nicks recorded her hit “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around,” which Petty and Mike Campbell wrote. It eventually appeared on Nicks’ debut solo album, Bella Donna, and went to #3 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Hard Promises‘ release was delayed when Petty and his label, MCA, went to war over the album’s list price. MCA wanted to sell it for $9.98, a dollar more than its other releases. After Petty threatened to call the album Eight Ninety-Eight, MCA backed down.
On Saturday, while Sammy Hagar was in Las Vegas performing Van Halen classics during his The Best of All Worlds residency, the band’s original lead singer, David Lee Roth, was performing them also — in Maryland.
Roth hit the stage Saturday for the first time since 2020, during his headlining show at the annual M3 Rock Festival at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland. Roth treated crowds to a 16-song set filled with Van Halen tunes.
According to setlist.fm, Roth kicked things off with “Panama,” and went on to perform such classic Van Halen tracks as “Dance the Night Away,” “Running with the Devil,” “Jamie’s Cryin'” “Hot for Teacher” and “Ain’t Talkin’ Bout Love,” along with the band’s Kinks cover, “You Really Got Me,” “And The Cradle Will Rock,” “Everybody Wants Some” and more.
He ended the night with “Jump,” Van Halen’s only #1 single.
The M3 Rock Festival set was the singer’s first public performance since March 2020, when he opened for KISS in Lubbock, Texas. A Las Vegas residency that was supposed to begin in December 2021 was billed as his final shows, but it was subsequently canceled.
Roth has one other show booked for this year: He’s set to play The Mountain Winery in Saratoga, California, on Sept. 12.
