The Camden ska veterans will top the bill at Gunnersbury Park on Saturday July 24, 2027, in what is set to be their only outdoor summer show in the capital next year. “Calling all Madheads and madhatters, join us next July in the great outdoors for Rock N Roll Circus,” said Suggs. “Bring your friends, bring your family and come dance in Gunnersbury Park London.

Fifty years ago this week, Larry Mullen Jr pinned a message to a noticeboard at Dublin’s Mount Temple High School that famously read “drummer seeks musicians.” To mark that anniversary, U2 returned to that very school this afternoon to perform a special career-spanning gig in the playground. With an audience that included current students and even the band’s religious education teacher, Sophie Shirley, the band entered shortly after 2 p.m., to the appropriate strains of Alice Cooper’s “School’s Out.” After opening with “I Will Follow,” U2 went straight into a run of hits, including “Vertigo,” “Beautiful Day,” and even a…

There’s an art to throwing a good dinner party. The right food, the right entertainment, and the right seating arrangements are all important, but nothing matters more than the guests. On Thursday, President Donald Trump threw perhaps the most consequential dinner party of his second term: a lavish state dinner with Chinese President Xi Jinping, the latest surreal meeting between the world’s two great powers. Or rather, three great powers. Because Trump and Jinping weren’t the only all-powerful executives in the room: the state dinner’s guest list, in many ways, was an exhaustive roll call for every oligarch, technocrat, and…

SZA is a seven-time Grammy Award winner with two RIAA diamond certified hit singles and the Hal David Starlight Award from the Songwriters Hall of Fame — but one of her greatest accomplishments came Thursday night as she was inducted into the New Jersey Hall of Fame by Danny DeVito. “Got inducted into the New Jersey Hall of Fame,” SZA wrote on Instagram. “MORE IMPORTANTLY I MET DANNY DEVITO.” DeVito hosted the induction ceremony at Dream Live Performing Arts Center at American Dream. He was inducted in 2010. The singer and songwriter’s speech at the actual ceremony was more earnest.…

Ween will revisit their tour in support of their classic Chocolate and Cheese in a new box set that unearths seven full gigs from the trek. Boognish Provides, out October 16 via Rhino, captures Gene and Dean Ween — or Aaron Freeman and Mickey Melchiondo, respectively — as they embarked on the tour as a band for the first time, as the duo was augmented by drummer Claude Coleman and bassist Andrew Weiss. The 14-CD box sets feature seven full concerts from that 1994-1995 tour: McCabe’s Guitar Shop, Santa Monica, CA (10/9/94), The Metro, Chicago, IL (10/30/94), First Avenue, Minneapolis,…

The throughline of Leon Bridges’ decade-plus career has been his voice. Because Bridges’ honeysuckle tenor lends itself so naturally to early-Sixties soul, Bridges got pegged as a Sam Cooke incarnate with his 2015 debut Coming Home. He’s since proven that his smooth-crooning vocals are just as expressive whether he’s toying with contemporary R&B (2018’s watermark Good Thing), waxing poetic about his home state of Texas over Khruangbin’s chilled-out surf rock (2020’s Texas Sun) or singing about his Nintendo-64-filled youth (2024’s opus “Panther City”). But Bridges’ latest — a collaborative album with the British trio Jungle — might be the most…

When Taylor Swift announced her new single “Patient Zero” earlier this week, no one really knew what was happening. Then, a day later, the superstar unveiled The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore and people were still confused. What happened to “12 songs” for her 12th album? According to Swift, the four new songs were made during a celebratory trip to Sweden where she and Showgirl producers Max Martin and Shellback relished in the commercial success of the album. (It not only topped the Billboard 200 chart, but did so with a shocking 4 million sales). Fans have been split…
