Steve Miller Band is hitting the road this summer: Where they'll play, how to get tickets
Kicking off Aug. 15 in Bethel, New York, and wrapping Nov. 8 in Anaheim, California, the tour will boast classic rock hits from the Steve Miller Band, whose "Greatest Hits 1974-78" is one of the 25 bestselling albums of all time.
Last year, Miller, 81, and his taut band joined Def Leppard and Journey for a summer stadium run, packing the set with guitar-heavy favorites including "Rock'n Me," "The Joker," "Swingtown" and "Take the Money and Run."
Tickets are on sale now via www.stevemillerband.com.
Earlier this year, Miller's iconic "Fly Like an Eagle" was inducted into the Library of Congress's National Recording Registry. His reach also spanned generations when Eminem sampled 1982's "Abracadabra" on his 2024 hit "Houdini." During his performances on last year's stadium tour, Miller thanked the rapper for using the song.
Miller will also be honored June 9 with the Les Paul Spirit Award, named for the famed guitar innovator.

How Your Device Can Help You Make It Through Mercury Retrograde
BELLEVUE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--No matter what your particular astrological beliefs, if any, there's no denying when things seem to go a little crazy in our lives and the world at large, a lot of us run to Google to look up whether Mercury retrograde is in effect. Well, if things are feeling a little funky right now, let us be your search engine: Mercury is indeed in retrograde, from July 17 until Aug. 11. In astrology, Mercury is the planet that rules communication among people and in technology. So when retrograde starts, some believe, mishaps tend to happen and electronics seemingly go haywire, says Susan Miller, the founder of two astrology-focused apps and the popular website Astrology Zone, which boasts 13 million unique readers. Crowned the " queen of astrologers" by The New York Times, Miller has written 18 books on various astrology topics and contributes her advice to national publications like Us Weekly. 'This phenomenon is one of the few that affects everyone in a fairly uniform way, and its effects are always obvious, especially in the days leading up to and on its official start,' Miller explains. Miller says there's no need to hide in fear during Mercury retrograde. Instead, people can revisit some mindful tips on communication skills to increase productivity and avoid some of the frustration that can arise from miscommunication, both IRL and on your device. Plus, if you do it right, your device — especially when it's powered by America's Best Mobile Network and comes with Magenta Status — can be an essential tool to combat the craziness the universe might send your way. (We helped you navigate the solar eclipse safely, didn't we?) No need to pull out your star chart — we spoke with Miller to bring you the expert advice you need to make it through with confidence and clarity. Can you explain Mercury retrograde to us? If you were in a car and another car passed you, you could tell it was going faster than you. But if it slowed down and you then passed it, it would appear that car was going backward. Then when the other car speeds up and passes you again, it kicks up all the dust in the road. Mercury retrograde happens when the other car speeds up and lifts the dust, causing turbulence and disruption to what we feel on Earth in our everyday lives. Because Mercury is the planet situated closest to the sun, its orbit is much shorter than Earth's. About three or four times a year, Mercury speeds past Earth, and that is when we experience a Mercury retrograde period. In 2025, we will experience this in July through August and Nov. 9 through Nov. 29. When a planet is in retrograde astrologically, it is in a resting or sleeping state. Therefore, while Mercury 'naps,' the activities it governs don't have the benefit of a well-functioning, wide-awake planet to supervise them. Expect a certain degree of pandemonium to ensue. Our devices are a lifeline of communication. What should people look out for when using their phones during Mercury retrograde? Mercury retrograde is known for creating confusion, which is not ideal for most communication. Friendships and romances tend to go haywire. People aren't always thinking straight during these phases and tend to create miscommunications that can in turn cause a domino effect of errors. Try not to jump to conclusions and keep striving for clarity. Be even more vigilant and double-check your text conversations to root out flaws or incorrect assumptions. Always go the extra mile to find errors during retrograde. These periods demand a slow and deliberate approach. Keep summarizing what you think the other person has just told you. I know we are in the 'just text me' era, but I recommend following up texts with a phone call if you can stomach it. Putting in a little extra attention to the emails you are sending can also go a long way to alleviate any larger problems. How can we prepare our devices — and ourselves — ahead of this astrological event? Mercury retrograde periods are notorious for causing computers to crash and for other electronic devices to show signs of wear, requiring urgent repair. I suggest people back up their devices or at least check when you installed the latest necessary software updates to keep yourself safe from cybersecurity issues. If you're buying a new phone, be sure to invest in some kind of phone protection plan should you accidently drop or lose it. Likewise, if you're traveling, be wary of delays and have essentials on hand including a portable charger to keep your devices powered up and a 5G hotspot. If you are driving any significant distance during Mercury retrograde, make sure your GPS is up to date or even print a hard copy of directions as a backup. I recommend you prepare to protect yourself against bad actors as well because Mercury always seems to retrograde during the holiday shopping season when scammer activity increases. Everyone needs to be extra vigilant against phone scammers and digital fraud at a time when people are in online holiday shopping mode, and tools like T-Mobile's Scam Shield can help keep you safe. What ways can your device help you prepare for Mercury retrograde? A lot of my advice during this period is what not to do. But I also believe there are things you can start doing leading up to Mercury retrograde that can be incredibly impactful, especially because people can feel the effects two weeks ahead of its official start. Since communication can become muddy, make sure your autocorrect is turned on when writing emails or preparing documents on your computer. Mercury rules the mail and the conveyance of information, so be extra careful with important documents. If you send documents through emails, be sure to call the people at the other end to ensure their receipt. Use your device to snap photos of important documents or correspondences as backups in case they become lost. It also might not hurt to have a meditation or therapy app installed if you feel you will need mental health support during this often stressful time. Though I have a lot of cautionary tales, I want to reiterate that not everything goes wrong during Mercury retrograde. Sometimes things work in your favor. Mercury rules anything that begins with 're:' redo, reassess, repair, repeat, redesign or revisit. I find people reconsider their stance when Mercury is in retrograde, and in some cases, conditions turn out to be more favorable to you than they might have been before. Perhaps a job you thought you didn't get comes back into the picture, or you take time to organize things around you and find something special that had been previously lost. It's always human nature to want to hear that new opportunities are coming our way, but we need to focus on the quality of our work and improve it to the best it can be. Often this is a better use of our time than continually chasing the newest idea. Mercury retrograde allows you to be thorough and to perfect your performance — and that's certainly not a bad thing.

What is No Buy July? We explain the trend that can save you money.
Recently, some friends invited Maggie Miller to bring her kids to a trampoline park for a play date. Another friend invited her and her husband out for dinner. Miller wanted to go to both events, but said no. She's trying to save money. Her family is participating in No Buy July, a growing trend on social media that encourages consumers to only buy the necessities and refrain from buying what is not needed. Those who are participating say it is a good challenge and a way to save. Financial experts say the exercise of purposefully controlling your spending is a good one with several benefits. What is No Buy July? No Buy July may have varying rules based on who is doing it, but essentially the challenge allows you to continue to spend on the items you need: food, gas, bills that need to be paid, home and unexpected medical expenses. But the discretionary items or trips to the store, or extra online shopping are off-limits, as are spending money on eating out. Or at least that's the goal. Some people say they have been successful at not buying extras and others say they've had "slip ups." No Buy July offers a pause on purchases Miller, who lives in Gilbert, Arizona with her husband and two young kids, has done no-spend weeks before. But No Buy July came at the right time, she said. "I was like 'Oh, that's catchy. I like it. And we had just a really spendy June," said Miller, explaining that her husband had been invited on a once-in-a-lifetime, last-minute trip and she had a baby shower that required travel. Their daughter's birthday – and birthday party – was also in June. Participating in No Buy July is a way to "force yourself to just press pause on purchases and ask 'Do we really need this?'" Miller told USA TODAY. "It really helps at the end of the month to look back or as you're going through the month to see 'Where are my spending habits? Where am I triggered to spend?' " Miller has been sharing her No Buy July experience on her Instagram account, MoneySavingMotherhood. She started the account about a year ago and said as a working mom with a family, she shares real-life tips for budgeting and saving money. Frugal mom has wins and losses Miller said because she is frugal and is not "constantly spending all the time," the No Buy July experience has not been too painful. But there have been moments, like when her girlfriend texted to ask if Miller and the kids wanted to go to a trampoline park, that it got a bit difficult. It was 115 degrees in Arizona and Miller said the thought of a fun activity in air conditioning was tempting. It was also hard to turn down a dinner invitation, she said. "It's hard to say no, but I think it's a good exercise to practice," she said. On her Instagram post for her second week of the challenge, Miller outlined her expenses: Be kind to yourself; "mess ups" are OK Miller said though she considers the thrift trip and purchase a "mess up," she won't give up on No Buy July, and encourages others to do the same if they encounter a setback. Miller said it should still be OK to forgive yourself and continue on. Even though she has an Instagram page about frugal living and budgeting, "I'm just as susceptible to treating myself to something," she said, adding that she tells herself, " 'Yeah, it was unnecessary but I did it and we're going to move on.' " Miller is vowing not to tempt herself by going near any thrift stores for the remainder of the challenge. "I know that's my pitfall," she said. Financial planners like No Buy July concept Kelly Renner, a certified financial planner in Augusta, Georgia, had not heard of No Buy July, but loves the concept and has encouraged clients to do similar exercises once in a while. "When you pay attention to your spending, you spend less. Even those who followed a budget and maybe just fell off, it is a good reset to do a challenge," Renner told USA TODAY. She'll also have spouses challenge each other to see who can save the most during a challenge. The con of a spending challenge, she said, "is if they have a life event happen out of their control, it can be more defeating mentally. But as long as they can overcome and try again it is still more of a win than a fail." Cash diet: We stopped using credit cards and saved money. An illustrated story of our cash stuffing Bill Shafransky, a certified financial planner in New Canaan, Connecticut, challenges people "to take this concept a step further and make this a permanent trend. You'd be surprised at how much extra money you'll have leftover at the end of the month." And Shafransky told USA TODAY that if people are going to follow a No Buy July concept, "you'll need to keep disciplined when August hits and you feel the urge to go buy everything you held off on. It's kind of like going on a super strict food diet. The cravings get so bad that when the diet is over, you indulge yet again. Don't let that happen." Encouraging others to do No Buy July Naomi Serviss of North Kingstown, Rhode Island already considers herself frugal. So she said she fully embraced No Buy July when she heard about it. "I hate shopping in stores and I just try to rein everything back and not buy things online," Serviss said. "It's a really great concept and I hope more people adopt it." Serviss regularly uses a local No Buy Facebook group to give away and get items. She's gotten such items as a bookshelf and a guitar holder. In July, Serviss is going to skip her once a month thrift store trip, timed for the 50% off discount "for a certain age group. I even put off looking for my mother-of-the bride's dress because I have time," she said, of her daughter's wedding in October. Serviss said she's been telling her friends and family to participate in No Buy July and they have been. Retailers are hit with consumer wariness Consumers are increasingly holding back on spending as they worry about inflation and tariffs and retailers are taking a hit, said Craig Rowley, senior client partner retail at Korn Ferry, a global human resources consulting firm. Rowley, who leads the firm's consulting retail practice for the U.S., said as he talks to retail executives, they don't know how to plan for business right now with so many uncertainties. Retailers are also completing their buying for the spring 2026 season and don't know how this Christmas season will go with tariff and inflation pressures, he said. "Retail is very much a function of consumer confidence. When people are happy and doing well, they're going to spend money. They're going to get their credit card out," Rowley told USA TODAY. "They're going to buy not only the things they need, but they're going to buy the things they want. When they're nervous and uncomfortable, then they're going to watch and see what happens. They're going to sit on their wallet." Rowley said there are other similar concepts to No Buy July like Frugal February, when consumers tighten their budgets after holiday spending. Any social movement, including shoppers who have been boycotting certain retailers for their rollbacks of diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, hurt retail sales, Rowley said. He hasn't heard his clients talk specifically about No Buy July, but "they're all more worried about the fact that it's been a slow year." Rowley thinks July will be a tough month for retailers since consumers are spending less and struggling financially, but retailers are expecting August to pick up with Back to School sales and purchases.
