At Brooklyn Paramount, the three Canadian bands leaned into their shared history without letting it become a crutch, drawing on recent albums that question what the past is worth.
After a period of post-‘Kick’ burnout and a turn toward painting, the Barcelona-based artist returns with a record that reconnects to her early mixtape lineage and the dystopian transmission of ‘@@@@@’.
Charli xcx’s pop-focused headline set and a surprise appearance by Olivia Rodrigo with Smashing Pumpkins defined the festival’s second night in Chicago.
A new scene from Gregg Araki’s film draws more attention to the pop star’s vocal delivery than her acting, while Lollapalooza showcases her evolving live show.
The band’s five-night stand at Madison Square Garden pulled exclusively from its early-Nineties songbook, a concentrated flashback to the era that built its cult following.
The appearance, nearly upstaged by an airport sighting, extends a pattern of Rodrigo paying direct homage to ’90s alt-rock figures onstage.
Weeks after pulling out of a festival set following public scrutiny, the British rocker delivered a sweaty, career-spanning show and handed his guitar to a crowd member.
The guitarist doesn’t close the door on returning to the fold, but era, lineup, and the concept of “reformation” remain unsettled questions.
The band removed O’Connor after a 17-year-old fan posted screenshots of an Instagram exchange that included a sexually explicit meme, and replaced him with Seth Jabour of Les Savy Fav.
The singer’s first new music since 2024’s ‘Big Ideas’ reveals a more vulnerable side, debuted live alongside Paramore’s frontwoman.
