Well, I certainly didn’t have this on my 2026 bingo card. NBC, The Voice, and Riley Green made it official over the weekend. When season 30 of The Voice lands, Riley Green will be the new coach on the block, ready to turn his chair around. It’s confirmed he’ll join fellow coaches Adam Levine and Kelly Clarkson, but as of now, John Legend’s return remains unconfirmed.

It was a memorable weekend for Luke Combs. He was awarded an honorary degree in music from Appalachian State University, a school he attended but left 21 credits short of a degree to pursue his career in country music. That career had him playing the stadium at Oklahoma University Saturday night, where he honored the great Toby Keith by walking out to ‘Should’ve Been A Cowboy.’

CMAFest hits Nashville in a few weeks, and just in time, there’s a new spot opening on Lower Broadway to welcome country music fans. Kane Brown is bringing a new kind of nightlife experience to downtown Nashville with the launch of ‘Kane Brown’s On Broadway,’ a sprawling four-level bar, restaurant, and live music venue set to open its doors on May 22.
