Tonight's show has an early start and a strict 10p curfew due to it being outdoors at a resort, but that's not stopping the amazing crowds enthusiasm. What a start to the Things Can Only Get Better Tour. Don't miss it if we come to a venue near you - like tomorrow in Saratoga, you'll love it.

Sad learing about Dave Kendall's passing today. He brought us all a lot of great music on MTV's 120 Minutes, and I had the real pleasure to share the airwaves with him for a decade on 1stwave when he followed my show with Party 360. He'll be missed. Rock in Peace, Dave.

I'm cheering for the US team in the World Cup but it's so wrong that a political phone call would override the referee and the VAR ruling. The red card should stand or all red cards should be negated. Keep politics out of football, it's the beautiful game that brings the world together.

richardblade.bsky.social @richardblade.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

Great game. Mexico were fantastic, but England, down to 10 men held them off to win 3 to 2. Brilliant. Both teams should be proud. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇲🇽 love you both.

If you're in LA, are you looking forward to tomorrow's holiday? What holiday, you ask . June 9th is Richard Blade Day. I got my star on the 6th, but the City Council proclaimed the 9th, RB day. So let your boss know you're not coming into work - I'm sure they'll understand.
