MJ Lenderman and his backing band The Wind played Wilco's Mexico destination festival Sky Blue Sky on Friday, and he closed out his set by bringing out one of his musical heroes, J Mascis (whose band Dinosaur Jr are playing Sunday), to cover a song by one of their shared musical heroes, Neil Young. They did a jammed-out rendition of "Lotta Love" from 1978's Comes A Time, turning the two-and-a-half-minute song into eight minutes of guitar-solo-filled bliss. Check out a video below.

Dragging his hand across the piano keys, Nick Cave leaps into the air and charges towards the crowd like a preacher breaking from the pulpit. Bring your spirit down! he cries repeatedly, arms flung wide as the choir roars behind him. It's barely 10 minutes into their set at Fremantle Park in Perth, and Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds have the audience in the palm of their hands.

I'm going to be 79 years old. You know, my mother only lived to be 82 and suddenly, chronology has a different meaning,

As the Chronicle reports, the average height of Hispanic American women in the US is a little under 5 feet 2 inches, which left scores of Bad Bunny's Latina devotees a large portion of his fan base out of luck if they wanted a chance at being part of his halftime show as performers or stage set-up staff, which required surprising height minimums.

For Emmylou Harris, it's no cliche to say that every song is a story. The country legend has spent 50 years roaming between folk, bluegrass, rock'n'roll and Americana, curating her own songbook of deeply humanitarian music. On this first stop of her European farewell tour, she says goodbye to Scottish fans as part of the Celtic Connections festival, offering up a suitably career-spanning set-list accompanied by memories of Gram Parsons, Nanci Griffith, Bill Monroe, Townes Van Zandt and Willie Nelson, to name just a few.

My grandparents used to take me to the Sandford Arms across the road from their house in Leeds on a Saturday afternoon to play the jukebox and since I remember records like Boney M's Rivers of Babylon this must mean I was about four. My other grandparents, meanwhile, actually ran a pub in the city centre. Their days usually started with my grandad, who did not have the bonhomie of a natural landlord, groaning to my grandmother: You open up, Kath, I can't face it!

But to anyone tracking the data over the past few years, it was inevitable. In 2022, Bad Bunny's Un Verano Sin Ti redefined the market, driving Latin music's streaming growth to new heights. It later became the first Spanish-language album nominated for Grammy Album of the Year. The takeaway is simple: When you have accurate, real-time data, you don't guess where culture is going, you know.

As the women built a thrumming rhythm from their drums and began to chant while others danced, the Hula Halau O Nalua and Ote'a Api School of Polynesian Dance seemed to teleport from the interior of an industrial park in Fremont to a Hawaiian island. It was a Wednesday evening, and a class of about 25 students had gathered in this halau, or hula school, to practice their dances.

Carlo Gesualdo wrote some of the most darkly sublime music of the late Renaissance. He also savagely murdered his wife and her lover in their bed. Now be honest: which would you like to discuss first? It is a provocation that sets the atmosphere for an evening that resists easy resolution. Presented at St Martin-in-the-Fields as the launch of the church's 300th anniversary celebrations,

In a 2019 interview with Machine Music-one of the few he's ever given-Patrick Walker pushed back on the notion that Warning makes "very loud folk music." His retort, palpably prickly even in text: "I don't see that connection there. Warning was very much about riffs, and was a metal album." It's understandable that Walker's interlocutor would pursue this line of questioning. Warning's singular approach to doom metal has a way of making you disbelieve your own ears.

San Jose is getting a new boost to its music landscape with the arrival of Guitar Wars and The Void at 447 South First Street in Downtown San Jose. The city is supporting the launch with a ribbon cutting ceremony today, starting at 3 p.m. Councilmember Anthony Tordillos, the San Jose Downtown Association, and owners Carlos Gascon and Josiah Kverno will share remarks. S.J. Sharkie joins as a special guest, bringing energy for families and offering photo opportunities during the event.

Isserlis often has nightmares about his cello. Losing it. Leaving it somewhere. The strings falling off without warning. At sixty-seven, he is one of the world's most celebrated concert cellists, but when he thinks about these scenarios he frowns and gently shakes his baroque gray ringlets. For more than fifteen years, Isserlis has been playing an eighteenth-century Stradivarius cello named the Marquis de Corberon, for the French aristocrat who once owned it.

Some users call it "streamflation." Some content owners feel they don't benefit from it. The company reminds everyone of its investments in lossless audio and AI. All this swirl is about a Spotify subscription price hike charged to the top tier of Premium subscribers, who will begin to pay a dollar more per month starting soon. That one-dollar raise brings the monthly cost of Premium from $11.99 to $12.99, a 7.7% lift.

pairing it with an '80s-inspired synth-pop palette. The album's closing track, power ballad "Appetite," is even an ode to desire itself: "I'm chewing you up, chewing you up," she chants on the rousing coda, refusing to apologize for going after what she wants. It recalls the delicious sensory abundance of a Mary Oliver poem: "there is no end/...to the happiness your body/is willing to bear."

Not only does the track show off Anjimile's lush, patient vocals, it's got a pretty fascinating rhythmic structure; his drummer offsets the groove when they arrive at the chorus, almost like the song gets caught between moving too fast and too slow. That momentum really ramps up in the final refrain, complete with some guitar shredding and open hi-hat smashing. It's a great demonstration of Anjimile's tasteful ear and his ability to match a song's subject with its instrumentation.

The Harlem rapper's strategic use of the platform goes beyond promotional posts, creating conversational moments that transform passive followers into active participants in his narrative. His approach demonstrates understanding of X's unique ecosystem: quick-fire responses, cultural commentary, and the platform's preference for unfiltered personality over polished messaging. By engaging directly with fan theories, sharing candid thoughts, and responding to viral moments in real-time,

The arrival of Robbie Williams's 13th album has been a complicated business. It was announced in May 2025 and was supposed to come out in October, when its title would have chimed with the 90s nostalgia sparked by the Oasis reunion. Williams spent the summer engaging in promotion, unveiling fake Britpop-themed blue plaques around London and staging a press conference at the Groucho Club.

Pitbull 's "I'm Back Tour" launches May 14th in West Palm Beach, Florida, and stretches from spring into fall, closing out in Shakopee, Minnesota, on September 26th. Get Pitbull and Lil Jon Tickets Here Over the course of the massive trek, Pitbull - with Lil Jon joining on select dates - will hit major cities like Charlotte, Dallas, and Houston, as well as international stops in Stockholm, London, and Warsaw, Poland.

There isn't one songwriter, and so the flavour of the band is always going to change, says Dave Vanian, reflecting on 50 years of the group of which he has been the sole constant member, the Damned. Captain Sensible is a great fan of syrupy pop music and prog and glam rock. So his writing is very poppy, melodic and quite wonderful.

Cyndi Lauper is selling her old clothes at a two-day NYC event, with proceeds going to charity.

a year ago, i was scared that i'd never release music again,

"I left home as a teenager, and I left everything I knew: my family, my friends, my food, my culture. And I came to a big city by myself, and the only option for me was to win," the musician said of that period in a recent interview. As we all know, she did win-and her success soon began to translate into luxurious real estate.

Their three guitarists are The Movielife/I Am The Avalanche vocalist Vinnie Caruana, Jim Carroll ( American Nightmare, Angel Du$t, The Hope Conspiracy, Suicide File), and Brian Audley ( Incendiary); Christopher Todd ( Common Sage, ex- Sannhet) is on drums; and the lineup is rounded out by two people who are better known as tattoo artists than musicians: Henbo Henning and Justin Weatherholtz (both of the Good Luck NYC tattoo shop) handle lead vocals and bass, respectively.
