Concert News State Fair of Texas unveils full lineup of free music acts for 2026 Free music will be plentiful during the 2026 State Fair of Texas' 24-day run, September 25-October 18. The Fair has revealed its full lineup of music acts that will be playing on multiple stages around Fair Park this year. The Chevrolet Main Stage is where visitors will find the biggest acts playing during the fair, with over 30 singers and bands playing during the fair. Headliners include Clint Black, Bowling for Soup, Kansas, QueensrĂżche, Deep Blue Something, Tripping Daisy, Toadies, RaeLynn, Muscadine Bloodline, Gym Class Heroes, and more. While the lineup on the main stage offers a wide variety of acts from different genres, it won't be the only option for visitors looking for a music break. The Bud Light Stage, near Cotton Bowl Stadium, will showcase local and regional talent, while the White Claw Spotlight Stage, located at the Grove on Nimitz, will feature a variety of artists from Dallas Music Officeâs roster of talent, all local to the Dallas music scene. In addition, the brand-new ZiegenBock Stage, located at the newly renovated Old Mill Inn near Big Tex Circle, will provide a fun atmosphere for fairgoers to enjoy a live music experience in the shadow of Big Tex. The Fair is continuing its partnership with State Fair Records, the East Dallas-based label that programs and produces the Bud Light Stage and Old Mill Stage. "State Fair Records continues to raise the bar, selecting several up-and-coming and established Texas musicians who fit the mold of the most Texan place on Earth," said Jason Hays, SVP of Brand Experience, in a statement. Each of the stages will feature at least one performance every day of the fair. That includes the 2026 Resident Artist, jazz musician
Wreckreation 2 announced as new arcade racer slated for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, targetting 2027 Created by new studio When Tides Turn, formerly Three Fields Entertainment Set in a new open-world called Heartbreak City featuring city streets, docks and an airport New UK indie studio When Tides Turn (formerly Three Fields Entertainment) has unveiled Wreckreation 2, a surprise sequel to last yearâs Burnout-inspired open-world arcade racer. In response to Wreckreationâs mixed reception, the sequel is taking a back-to-basics approach. Whereas the first game was set in a large open world with track creation tools, the sequel is smaller in scale but more focused as a result. âOver the last six months, we spent a lot of time talking to players, moderators and each other about what worked and what didnât [about Wreckreation],â said When Tides Turnâs Studio Head and Executive Producer, Fiona Sperry. âAnd we kept coming back to the same conclusion: we didnât need a bigger game. We just needed a more focused one.â According to Sperry, Wreckreation 2 is being developed around five key pillars: âa world built for racing, battling and crashing,â âdriving that feels physical,â âevery race is a battle,â âcars players grow attached toâ and âa player-led creative community.â Wreckreation 2 is set in a new map called Heartbreak City, with a coastal setting reminiscent of Paradise City in Burnout Paradise. Compared to the previous game, the environment is smaller, but features âricher, more detailed locationsâ, according to Art Director Phil Pillpot. âOne of the clearest messages from our first game was that they wanted a world that is denser, busier and more alive,â he explained. Alongside the coastal highways and mountain areas seen in the first game, the new location features more urban areas, with industrial districts, busy city streets, an airport

Who is Dries van Langendonck, the McLaren junior driver signed by Max Verstappen? Max Verstappen has given his support and backing to Dries van Langendonck, but who is the 15-year-old Belgian? Ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix last weekend, news surfaced that Max Verstappen had taken his first steps into driver development by giving backing to Dries van Langendonck. But who is the 15-year-old that has caught the attention of a four-time World Champion? Who is Dries van Langendonck? Van Langendonck is currently a McLaren junior driver, having joined the team's driver development programme in 2024 at the age of just 13 after winning the 2023 World Junior Karting title. A move into single-seaters beckoned last season, where the Belgian teenager became the youngest winner of a British Formula 4 race by winning on his debut at Donington Park. The 15-year-old also won the Iberia-based Formula Winter Series at the end of the year before returning for a full season of British F4 in 2026, where he currently leads the standings after winning four races. Why has Verstappen supported him? Verstappen is no stranger to taking an interest in motorsport outside the realms of F1, having set up his own GT and sim racing teams. But this decision marks the first time that the Verstappen Racing squad will actively support a young driver in the lower ranks of single-seater racing. Speaking ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix, Verstappen gave his reasons for wanting to support Van Langendonck in his quest to reach F1. "Dries has been a big talent for a long time already in karting and I think you can spot quite quickly when someone is a little bit more special than someone else," said Verstappen. "I think that has carried on with what he is doing in F4

"It's win it or bin it stuff": Top Gear's first play of Wreckreation 2 Burnout fans unite, the spiritual sequelâs getting... er, a sequel, and weâve played it Far away from the nu-school sim racing headspace where racers tweak their load cell brakes and read reddit threads about the best gloves to use with Alcantara racing wheels, thereâs the gleeful arcade abandon of Wreckreation. Released in late 2025 by Three Fields Entertainment, it was the passion project of several Criterion veterans who brought Burnout to the world in the heady Noughties, and who evidently â correctly â thought we could do with some more of that high-octane bashing and barging in the austere 2020s. Thing is, it was a bit rough. This is a small team doing a big thing, capturing the lightning in a bottle that made Burnout such a success, while also modernising it and adding a very ambitious on-the-fly track customisation element to its open world. Critical sentiment, including our own, was tempered by those rough edges. So theyâve gone and made a sequel. Wreckreation 2 is in its early stages of development but nevertheless weâve signed the waivers, accepted that the build might catch fire at any moment, and taken to the streets in a Dearborn & Schaeffer Nightranger. Vehicles are unlicensed and fictional, obviously, like those proudly â100% UNOFFICIAL!â biographies of celebs. That allows Wreckreation 2 free reign to absolutely dismantle its roster of machinery at the slightest provocation, and as the keen-eyed will have deducted from the game name, thatâs very much the point here. As before, wrecking other cars or performing dangerous feats like near misses, jumps, shunts and driving into oncoming traffic generates boost. Boost makes you go faster. Going faster is better. Right, thatâs the gameplay mechanics covered. No, but really,

They want $60 for this game and it has no career mode and only has 7 tracks in the base game. Then they want a subscription on top of that and to charge what will be $30 AU for a 2 track pack. But of a joke really The tracks in LMU are really well made and this ânot official WEC venueâ idea is one I can really get behind. Would rather they use WEC sponsors than âmotorsport gamesâ being plastered everywhere, but itâs a minor quibble. Iâve no issues with the price and would love to buy the pack, but I am not giving another penny/cent to this game whilst the Single Player experience seems to be ignored by the developers. The latest update video didnât have a single mention of this side of the game and itâs feeling like theyâve just given up pretending this is about anything other than
Version 1.4 game update for Le Mans Ultimate launches 28th July New netcode, updated backend multiplayer systems, LiveSteward rollout and fresh replay-based protest system Pro and Pro+ subscribers can now enter longer practice sessions and use a joker to wipe negative driver rank and safety rating damage 2026-spec Alpine and Cadillac Hypercars added Revised brake temperature physics, a new native language and pitlane procedures Releases same day as first two US Track Pass DLC venues Le Mans Ultimateâs next update is set to include much-requested features when Version 1.4 releases on 28th July 2026. Headlining the additions will be revisions to the LiveSteward system and a new method of protesting incidents, with the aim of improving driving standards. There are two further 2026-season free car updates and longer practice sessions for those who subscribe. Under the hood, changes to the fundamental online structure will be implemented. The US Track Pass DLC (six circuits in the USA) has also been dated and priced. Here are the main features in the v1.4 patch. Driving standards features The way sim racers protest on-track disagreements is set to change significantly. To cut down on processing time, for intentional wrecks only, complaints will be submitted from within race replays, finding and sending across from the exact timestamp. Drivers will now have a protest credit system: three protests each month, one credit back for each successful protest. The computer-controlled LiveSteward system, which arrived in Version 1.2 last December as a background system to monitor poor driving, will henceforth automatically govern stationary vehicles and kick them back to the garage. Those who quit mid-race (Alt+F4) will âno longer escape the consequencesâ. Now your penalties and damage will follow you. Updated multiplayer foundations While these shouldnât affect (hopefully) the general multiplayer experience (for now) or add shiny new

A new week brings a new set of Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races, with three âfreshâ events now live and running through next Monday. âFreshâ is a stretch this time, though: every combination on offer has already raced earlier this year. Race A puts the Honda NSX Type R â92 back on Grand Valley â Highway 1, Sports Medium tires and a Grid Start, the same pairing that ran on March 2, just one lap shorter than this weekâs six. Race B sends Gr.3 machinery to Brands Hatchâs Grand Prix layout for six laps on Racing Hards, an exact repeat of the race that ran on March 16. Race C revives the Gr.4 field at Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve for ten laps, also on Racing Hards, matching the event from January 12 detail for detail. Recycling Daily Races combinations isnât new; Polyphony Digital has done this periodically for as long as the mode has existed, and itâs always a bummer. Just two weeks ago, an entire weekâs lineup was repeats too. It hasnât gone unnoticed by the community, generating plenty of justified grumbling. Adding insult to injury, thereâs not much tactical depth to make up for the reruns, either. All three races skip the need for any pit stops and fuel and tire wear sit at their default 1x multipliers across the board, so thereâs nothing to manage beyond stringing together clean, consistent laps. GT7 Daily Races (July 20): Race A - Track: Grand Valley â Highway 1 (6 laps) - Car: Honda NSX Type R â92 â Garage/Specified Car - Power/Weight/PP Limit: BOP (M) - Tires: Sports Medium - Settings: Specified - Start Type: Grid Start - Mandatory Pit Stop: â - Fuel Multiplier: 1x - Tire Multiplier: 1x GT7 Daily Races (July 20): Race B - Track: Brands Hatch Grand

The grocery chain has set Friday, July 31 as the opening date of its 123,000-square-foot store at 26587 E. University Dr. According to a release, the store is a nearly $40 million project that will bring about 200 jobs and serve the rapidly growing communities of Little Elm, Aubrey, Providence Village, and beyond. Announced in 2024, the new location is Kroger's first Marketplace-format store to open in North Texas this year. In addition to a full-service grocery with produce, meat and seafood, floral, and pharmacy departments, the expanded concept includes home goods, apparel, toys, and other general merchandise. Shoppers also will find specialty features such as a Murray's Cheese counter, a fresh-cut fruit kiosk, and a fuel center with 14 pumps plus a grab-and-go kiosk for snacks and beverages. "This new Marketplace store reflects Kroger's long-term commitment to serving families who are putting down roots and building their future in one of the fastest-growing areas of North Texas," said Rudy DiPietro, president of Kroger's Texas Division, in a statement. The grand opening begins at 6 am on July 31, when the first shoppers through the doors will receive prizes, gift cards, and coupons for free breakfast items. Kroger also will offer grand opening discounts through August 4, including 30 cents off per gallon for Kroger Rewards members at the fuel center during the weekends of July 31-August 2 and August 7-9.

Revving up State-of-the-art Velocity racing simulator lounge zooms into Dallas A new "eatertainment" venue devoted to virtual racing is revving up for North Dallas: Called Velocity Sim Racing Lounge, the concept combines high-tech driving simulators with a full restaurant and bar. Velocity is located at 9830 N. Central Expwy., Ste. 400, at Walnut Hill in The Hill shopping center, in the former Camp space. According to a release, it will celebrate with grand opening festivities on Saturday, July 25. Dallas is the second location for the Texas-based Velocity, after a Houston venue opened in 2025. Designed for everyone from first-time drivers to dedicated enthusiasts, the venue features a "Racer" - a beginner-friendly motion-enabled simulator - all the way up to an "Ultimate" - a full-throttle premium rig for the highest-intensity immersion available, the website says. It's the only "Ultimate" in Texas. There are also two-seat race cars available. Racers can choose from a number of cars (i.e., Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport or McLaren 570S GT4) and multiple track destinations (i.e., Monza in Italy and Zandvoort in The Netherlands). While the racing simulators are the main attraction, Velocity is designed as much for socializing as competition, with more than 30 racing rigs, a large video wall where guests can watch races in real time, and a central bar for cocktails, food, and watch parties. âVelocity is all about building community through a shared passion for cars and racing,â founder Viet Tran says in the release. âThe simulators will bring people through the doors, but it's everything around them that makes them stay. Weâre creating an environment where people can connect, share a great meal, celebrate milestones and be part of something bigger than what's happening behind the wheel.â The Dallas location also puts an emphasis on food, with a menu
