Tenacious D 2024

Event Details

Tenacious D will be coming to Resorts World Arena in May 2024.

Jack Black and Kyle Gass, the dynamic duo behind Tenacious D, formed the Greatest Band in the World in the late '90s in Los Angeles. Their journey includes a hit HBO variety series in 1999, a Platinum-certified self-titled album in 2001, and a feature film, "Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny," in 2006. Their 2012 album, "Rize of the Fenix," earned a Grammy nomination. In 2013, they founded the Festival Supreme, a music and comedy festival in LA featuring top acts. Tenacious D also won a Grammy in 2014 for Best Metal Performance. In 2018, they released "Tenacious D in Post-Apocalypto," an animated film with a hand-drawn frame and accompanying soundtrack. A graphic novel completed the Post-Apocalypto universe in 2020.

In 2021-2022, they released cover songs for charity and launched a fiber bars line. They continued their creative streak with "Words + Music | Vol. 29 | Tenacious D’s The Road To Redunktion," an Audible Original featuring archival audio. In 2023, they rocked Las Vegas with sold-out shows, launched "The Spicy Meatball Tour," released a hit song "Video Games" and a viral cover of "Wicked Game." With 1 million Instagram followers, Tenacious D remains the Greatest Band That Ever Played on Planet Earth, selling out shows worldwide.

In 2023, The D kicked off the year with two sold-out shows in Las Vegas. They recently completed the first leg of the Spicy Meatball tour, selling out venues like the O2 in a matter of hours across 24 cities. Their latest release, ‘Video Games,’ garnered critical acclaim and is considered one of their best songs yet. Accompanied by a captivating animated video created by Chris ‘Oney Plays’ O’Neil and Emmy-nominated director Adam Paloian, the song has gone viral with over 27 million views and gained 1.3 million YouTube followers.

Tenacious D surprised fans once again by performing their new single live at The Hollywood Bowl for The Game Awards. They further amazed the internet by releasing a recorded version of their beloved live cover of Chris Isaak’s ‘Wicked Game.’ The music video for the cover, directed by long-time collaborator Taylor Stephens, showcases the duo in a breathtaking seaside adventure. With over 7 million views, it became another viral sensation. In 2023 and beyond, Tenacious D continues their mission to spread the rock n roll message worldwide, solidifying their position as one of the greatest rock bands ever.

A Top 10 hit upon its release in 1971 as a trimmed down three-minute single, to truly understand the brilliance of 'Won't Get Fooled Again' you have to listen to the sprawling eight-and-a-half-minute album version. Pete Townshend wrote 'Won't Get Fooled Again' as a critique about power and revolution, and the song is loosely broken down into three thematic parts – the uprising in the first verse, the overthrow of power in the middle, and the new regime being a replica of the old regime later in the song, hence lines like "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss."

19) Deep Purple – ‘Child in Time’ (1970)

Loosely inspired by the Cold War and themes of inhumanity, Deep Purple's progressive rock opus is a musical odyssey of the highest calibre. Embracing the quiet/loud dynamic, throughout the all-too-short 10 minutes each band member is at the top of the game - from Ritchie Blackmore's searing riffs to Ian Gillan's emotionally wrought (and oft screeching) vocals to Jon Lord's ominous organs to the pulsing rhythms of Roger Glover and Ian Paice. A monumental and magnificent rock epic.

18) Metallica – ‘Enter Sandman’ (1991)

The opening track and lead single from Metallica's 1991 self-titled album (aka 'The Black Album'), 'Enter Sandman' opens with Kirk Hammett's plaintive guitar playing before crushing guitars and sonic fury are unleashed on the listener. True it's not as raw as some of Metallica's earlier songs, but 'Enter Sandman' is a heavy metal masterclass that fuses nightmarish lyrics with thunderous music and searing riffs.

17) Led Zeppelin – ‘Whole Lotta Love’ (1969)

Colossal sounding, dirty-as-hell, gloriously lewd and sonically experimental, 'Whole Lotta Love' needs very little introduction. Jimmy Page's iconic riff is one of the purest and most timeless riffs he ever created with Led Zeppelin, while John Paul Jones and John Bonham give the track poise, rhythm and muscle. However, it's Robert Plant who manages to grab the headlines with his sexually charged and highly lascivious lines like "Way down inside", "I'm gonna give you every inch of my love" and, of course, "I wanna be your backdoor man!"

16) Motörhead – ‘Ace of Spades’ (1980)

Motörhead purists might argue that there are better songs in the band's formidable musical arsenal, but 'Ace of Spades' is easily Lemmy, Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor and "Fast" Eddie Clarke's most popular and enduring tracks. Pure musical alchemy, 'Ace of Spades' opens with Lemmy's pummelling bass intro before crashing drums and whirring guitars enter the fray and Mr Kilmeister spouts gambling themed lyrics in his idiosyncratic guttural growl. Exhilarating and electric.

15) AC/DC – ‘Highway to Hell’ (1979)

The second highest placing Bon Scott-era AC/DC song on our countdown, 'Highway to Hell' is three-and-a-half minutes of primal, powerful and perfect guitar-drive rock. Like so many riffs in AC/DC's legendary repertoire, Angus Young's riff is truly timeless, while Bon Scott is at his commanding best. With 'Highway to Hell', AC/DC once again proved that simplicity is often the key to rock n' roll brilliance.

14) AC/DC – ‘Thunderstruck’ (1990)

Powered by scintillating riffs from Angus and Malcolm Young, rabble-rousing chants, screeching vocals from Brian Johnson and muscular rhythms from Chris Slade and Cliff Williams, 'Thunderstruck' is the sound of AC/DC at their most electrifying and one of the standout moments of the post-Bon Scott era. Such is its popularity, 'Thunderstruck' was the first AC/DC track to surpass one billion views on YouTube.

13) Gun N’ Roses – ‘Sweet Child O’ Mine’ (1987)

Of course, it wouldn't be a Greatest Rock Song poll without Gun N' Roses' signature song 'Sweet Child O' Mine' rearing its head. The 'Appetite for Destruction' anthem is so all-pervading and ubiquitous that even Slash says he "cringes" when he hears his iconic riff in public, however, ignoring the over-exposure, there's no doubt that 'Sweet Child O' Mine' is a rock classic.

12) Iron Maiden – ‘Hallowed Be Thy Name’ (1982)

Iron Maiden's fifth song to appear on our countdown is 'The Number of the Beast' classic 'Hallowed Be Thy Name'. Performed on every Iron Maiden tour – except the Maiden England World Tour and The Book of Souls World Tour – for the past four decades, the Steve Harris penned seven-minute epic details the macabre story of a prisoner about the be hanged. Not only is it one of Iron Maiden's greatest songs from their legendary back catalogue, it's also one of the greatest rock songs of all time.

11) Deep Purple – ‘Smoke on the Water’ (1972)

Ritchie Blackmore's instantly recognisable guitar riff on 'Smoke on the Water' was voted the Greatest Rock Riff of All Time by Planet Rock listeners five years ago, and the seminal song has duly been voted into the Top 20 on our new poll. Blackmore noted years later that he took inspiration from Symphony No. 5 by Ludwig van Beethoven, and he owes the deceased composer a lot of money. Thematically, 'Smoke on the Water' was inspired by the devastating fire at the Montreux Casino in Switzerland in December 1971 where the band had decamped to record what would become their sixth album, 'Machine Head.'

10) Meat Loaf – ‘Bat Out of Hell’ (1977)

The opening track on Meat Loaf's debut album of the same name, as statements of intent go, they don't get much better than 'Bat Out of Hell.' The brilliantly bombastic track's lyrics were described as "a rock 'n roll sci-fi version of Peter Pan" by songwriter Jim Steinman, while musically it's gloriously overblown and the perfect vehicle for the late-great Meat Loaf's theatrical and impossibly powerful voice. An irrefutable rock magnum opus.

9) AC/DC – ‘Back in Black’ (1980)

Opening with one of the greatest riffs in rock history, AC/DC's title track from their blockbuster 'Back in Black' album was written in response to the death of Bon Scott. New frontman Brian Johnson was asking not to be morbid when penning the lyrics, and, duly, the track is a celebration of the rock legend. Johnson noted years later: "I just wrote what came into my head, which at the time seemed like mumbo, jumbo. 'Nine lives. Cats eyes. Abusing every one of them and running wild.' The boys got it though. They saw Bon's life in that lyric."

8) AC/DC – ‘Whole Lotta Rosie’ (1977)

The seventh AC/DC song to feature in our Top 70 is the band's riff-heavy hard rock anthem 'Whole Lotta Rosie.' Written by Angus Young, Bon Scott, Malcolm Young, 'Whole Lotta Rosie' details a mind-blowing one-night stand Scott had with a Tasmanian woman called Rosie. A mainstay of AC/DC's live shows since it was released (only 'The Jack' has been performed live more), more recent performances of 'Whole Lotta Rosie' have featured a giant inflatable Rosie on the stage's backdrop.

7) Alter Bridge - ‘Blackbird’ (2007)

The only song from the 21st Century to feature in our Top 20, 'Blackbird' is the crowning glory of Alter Bridge's second studio album and arguably the highpoint of their illustrious career so far. Lyrically poignant, Myles Kennedy wrote the lyrics for 'Blackbird' about the death of his close friend Mark Morse. Kennedy said: "It's really about seeing the suffering he was going through and hoping he would find his solace soon and be free from all of that." The eight-minute track also features a colossal guitar solo from both Myles Kennedy and Mark Tremonti that was voted the third greatest guitar solo ever by Planet Rock listeners in 2019.

6) Led Zeppelin – ‘Kashmir’ (1975)

The towering musical behemoth that is 'Kashmir' is Led Zeppelin's second-highest polling song from their fabled back catalogue. A track so good that it has you thumbing at the thesaurus looking for suitable superlatives, it's no surprise that the surviving members of Led Zeppelin regard 'Kashmir' as one of their career zeniths. Jimmy Page said of the track: "The intensity of 'Kashmir' was such that when we had it completed, we knew there was something really hypnotic to it, we couldn't even describe such a quality…. It sounded so frightening at first."

5) Pink Floyd - ‘Comfortably Numb’ (1979)

David Gilmour's transcendental playing on Pink Floyd's 'Comfortably Numb' was voted the Greatest Guitar Solo of All Time by Planet Rock listeners in 2019, and the song itself is rightfully in the upper echelons of our Greatest Rock Songs poll at Number 5. Penned by Roger Waters and David Gilmour, 'Comfortably Numb' is one of the defining moments of their songwriting partnership, yet such was the friction between the two during the recording process that Gilmour later noted it represents "the last embers of mine and Roger's ability to work collaboratively together." Poignantly, 'Comfortably Numb' was the last song Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Nick Mason and the late-great Richard Wright performed together at Live Aid in 2005.

4) Lynyrd Skynyrd – ‘Free Bird’ (1973)

The only Lynyrd Skynyrd to make our Top 70, the Ronnie Van Zant and Allen Collins penned 'Free Bird' is the band's signature song and truly one of the finest tracks in rock history. Delivered in Van Zant's trademark southern rock drawl, the track opens with him singing "If I leave here tomorrow, would you still remember me?", hinting at a man unable to settle down. Just past the midway point, 'Free Bird' morphs into a crescendo of glorious guitar solos and frenetic instrumentation – an life-affirming aural onslaught that still sounds as fresh now as it did almost half a century ago.

3) Rainbow – ‘Stargazer’ (1976)

The standout song from Rainbow's seminal 'Rising' album, 'Stargazer' sees the inimitable, late-great Ronnie James Dio narrate the ominous story of a wizard whose attempt to fly by constructing a tower to the stars leads to the enslavement of countless people. A musically complex, powerful and majestic heavy metal tour-de-force, 'Stargazer' flaunts the imperious talents of the respective Rainbow band members, from Dio's astonishing pipes to Cozy Powell's titanic drums to Ritchie Blackmore's mercurial guitar playing. Nothing short of a masterpiece.

2) Led Zeppelin – ‘Stairway To Heaven’ (1971)

Number 2 on our Greatest Led Zeppelin Songs poll in September 2018 to mark the band's 50th anniversary, 'Stairway To Heaven' is also at No.2 in our Greatest Rock Song poll. Clocking in at just over eight minutes, every second of 'Stairway To Heaven' is iconic; from the opening, Renaissance-tinged finger-picked guitars and recorders to Jimmy Page's legendary solo and right through to Robert Plant's ultimate, plaintive "and she's buying the stairway to heaven" refrain. A true timeless classic that will be listened to in centuries to come.

1) Queen – ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ (1975)

Having previously finished at No.2 in our previous Greatest Rock Song poll a decade ago , Queen's timeless and ubiquitous rock epic 'Bohemian Rhapsody' has climbed to Number 1 in 2022. Multi-layered and ambitious in musical scope, the Freddie Mercury penned 'Bohemian Rhapsody' has topped the charts twice in the UK and has been introduced to new generations of fans via 1992's Wayne's World and the 2018 Queen biopic of the same name, Bohemian Rhapsody.

Tenacious D

About Tenacious D

The duo comprised of Jack Black and Kyle Gass started playing together in Kyle’s studio apartment on Cochran Ave in Los Angeles. No one could have ever dreamed of where the band’s genius would take them, but take them it did… The band had a variety series on HBO that aired in 1999. Their self-titled album was released in the fall of 2001 with Epic Records and was quickly certified at Gold-selling status and has since been certified Platinum. The duo completed their first feature film together – Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny – for New Line Cinema, which was released in November 2006. The album ‘Rize of the Fenix’ followed in 2012, receiving a Grammy nomination for Best Comedy Album.

The D rang in 2023 in Las Vegas with two back-to-back sold-out shows. Earlier this year they embarked on the first leg of the Spicy Meatball tour, performing in 24 cities and selling out the O2 in hours. They released the critically acclaimed ‘Video Games,’ their first new original song in five years, which is undeniably one of the greatest songs in the band’s extensive catalogue of hits. It was accompanied by a brilliant, animated video for the song, created by Chris ‘Oney Plays’ O’Neil and Adam Paloian, an Emmy-nominated director. The music video and track went viral, amassing over 27 million views and earning them 1.3 million followers on YouTube.

They even performed their new single live at The Hollywood Bowl for The Game Awards. They took the internet by surprise once again by releasing a recorded version of their viral, fan-favourite live cover of Chris Isaak’s ‘Wicked Game.’ A video for the cover of ‘Wicked Game,’ directed by long-time D collaborator Taylor Stephens and features the dynamic duo in a glorious, romantic romp by the sea. It has been viewed by over 7 million people, marking another viral moment for the group. In 2023 and beyond Tenacious D continue their quest to spread the message of rock n roll across the world and firmly retain their title as one of the greatest rock bands in the world. Ever.

It's amazing how high energy and amazing those guys still are!

Full two hours of an amazing show!

Started with apocalypto video + songs and "ended" with almost hour and a half of the greatest hits.

Truly the BEST BAND IN THE WORLD.

This band is amazing, this venue is amazing, the night was perfect. I can wish for drinks to be cheaper, to not have to drop $40 to feel buzzed, but that's how concerts are... We got some merch before the show, the line kept moving. Nice that it wasn't as big a venue as last time I saw Tenacious D at CalJam. The opening act was ok, I get that their founding member is part of Tenacious D so they want to support him, but it really wasn't everyone's jam. I was surprised Tenacious D played almost the entirety of Apocalypto straight through. Then, of course, their greatest hits afterward. The projection storytelling was awesome.

During a recent interview at the premiere of Kung Fu Panda 4 , Black told Entertainment Tonight : “Britney, if you’re watching, I love you. I love the song.” As for the cover itself, he explained: “We’re very proud of it, [and] I hope you like it, too.”

Black was also asked about a potential collaboration with Spears. “I’m here! I’m ready when you are,” he replied. “I’m waiting by the phone. I got kicks! I don’t quite have Britney kicks, but you know, I got some moves.”

As People reports, Black told reporters that Kung Fu Panda 4 director Mike Mitchell “wanted ‘…Baby One More Time’ because it’s kind of in the vein of Kung fu”.

Tenacious D’s cover soundtracks the closing credits of the film, which is due to arrive in cinemas tomorrow (March 8) in the US and March 28 in the UK.

Meanwhile, Tenacious D are set to embark on their European, UK and Ireland ‘Spicy Meatball Tour’ next month. Support will come from Crusade and Dave Hill . Find any remaining tickets here .

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds unveil first headline shows in the UK and Europe since 2017

Nick Cave, 2024

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds have announced their first headline tour of the UK and Europe since 2017. Launching on September 24, in Oberhausen, Germany, the Wild God tour will take in 27 shows across 17 countries, wrapping on November 17 in Paris, France. The tour will follow in the wake of the release of the group's 18th studio album, Wild God , on August 30. “I never think about how a record is going to go live, it never, ever occurs to me," says Cave. "The lyric writing process is way too hard to take ideas like that into consideration.  But, when I listen to Wild God now, I think we can really do something epic with these songs live. We’re really excited about that - the record just feels like it was made for the stage.”

Tickets for the tour go on sale at 10am local time on March 22 from NickCave.com Speaking about his band's new record, Cave says, “I hope the album has the effect [on listeners] that it’s had on me. It bursts out of the speaker, and I get swept up with it. It’s a complicated record, but it’s also deeply and joyously infectious. There is never a masterplan when we make a record. The records rather reflect back the emotional state of the writers and musicians who played them. Listening to this, I don’t know, it seems we’re happy.”  Wild God will be released on Bad Seed in partnership with Play It Again Sam on streaming, CD, and standard and limited edition vinyl.
