Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan announced a broadcast TV contract for his National Wrestling Alliance wrestling organization. NWA Powerrr, the company’s primary show operating since 2019, debuts on Comet TV May 1st at 10 p.m. A second new episode airs May 2nd at 4 p.m., with both hour-long programs repeating at 10:30 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. This marks Powerrr’s first broadcast deal under Corgan’s ownership after previous runs on YouTube, FITE TV, the CW app, and Roku Channel. The inaugural broadcast features another Crockett Cup tag team tournament, originally founded in 1986 and revived by Corgan in 2019. “The NWA has always been about storytelling, personality, and passion,” Corgan stated. “This partnership with Sinclair’s Comet TV is the first step in NWA’s push into free television.” Meanwhile, Smashing Pumpkins will perform at Lollapalooza in July.

Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst announced plans to create an alternative to Coachella for musicians not invited to the popular California festival. Durst responded to rapper Lil Wayne’s social media post about feeling excluded from major events. “It’s truly a humbling experience when events like Coachella and the Grammys come around and like clockwork, I’m uninvited and uninvolved,” Lil Wayne wrote on X. Durst replied, “Let’s start our own experience gathering and our own acknowledgement event to welcome all of the uninvited – I’ve got a couple [of] ideas I’ve been working on for quite some while now – happy to elaborate if ever interested – sending good vibes.” Despite being a popular wishlist act among attendees, Limp Bizkit has never performed at Coachella since the festival began in 1999.
