It has been two years since the Netflix series Pop Star Academy brought Katseye together, and the girl group still hasn’t had a truly universal hit. They’ve had popular songs, sure. There’s the smooth, Latin-pop-inspired “Gabriela,” which peaked at Number 21 on the Billboard Hot 100, and of course “Gnarly,” the skittering viral track about fried chicken, Takis, and Teslas. “Internet Girl” seemed promising when Katseye premiered it on tour, but the studio recording that arrived at the top of the year features some bizarre vocal choices that unravel the track. “Pinky Up” barely cut through the discourse about their…
The designer was fired from Dior in 2011 after he was filmed going on an antisemitic rant at a Paris bar In an unexpected decision, next year’s Met Gala will be devoted to the works of the equally celebrated and controversial fashion designer, John Galliano. The British designer, who held the head design position at French heritage brand Dior from 1996 to 2011, was revealed last week to be the theme of fashion’s biggest night next May — an honor that only two other living designers have had in the Met Gala’s 78-year history. The announcement is somewhat surprising given that…
It wasn’t just any Fourth of July. It was America’s 250th birthday, and fittingly, Rolling Stone brought its inaugural Stateside festival to Kingston, N.Y. — New York’s first capital and a city steeped in Revolutionary history. The lineup reflected the occasion. From Vermont headliner Noah Kahan to Austin native Bo Staloch, all 11 artists on the bill were born in the U.S.A., with sounds rooted in folk, Americana, country, indie rock, and soul. And that patriotic spirit extended well beyond the stages. Scout Motors, the iconic American brand preparing to launch its next generation of all-electric and EREV (extended range…

John Mayer commemorated the one-year anniversary of Dead & Company’s shows at San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park — the last time late guitarist Bob Weir performed onstage. The three evenings were in celebration of the Grateful Dead‘s 60th anniversary, and featured surprise appearances that included Grahame Lesh (son of the late bassist Phil Lesh), Sturgill Simpson, Trey Anastasio, and more. “Today marks a year since Dead & Company played our last of three shows in Golden Gate Park helping to celebrate 60 years of Grateful Dead,” Mayer wrote on Instagram. “It would also become Bob Weir’s last appearance onstage. I…
Lollapalooza history was made this weekend when P-pop boy band SB19 became the first all-Filipino group to perform at the Chicago festival. That was just one of the memorable moments that helped define the 2026 iteration of the fest. On Day Two, the red-hot Slayyyter was bumped up to a bigger stage than originally planned, and on Day Three, headliner Olivia Dean paid homage to her grandmother and her Jamaican-Guyanese and English heritage with a song and impassioned speech for immigrants. There were also a slew of surprise guests at this Lollapalooza. Lorde wowed fans at her headlining set with…
Maggie Rogers has always been a sports fan, but this summer she leaned in — and leaned in hard. It started when the weather was still cold, back in Milan for the winter Olympics. Then it was multiple nights courtside at the Knicks, topped off with a ride in the championship parade (Knicks in 5, baby), and some celebrating in the street. There was a trip to the U.K. to watch tennis at Wimbledon, and plenty of World Cup soccer. If there was a game, a match, or a competition, Rogers was there, reveling in the fine art of fandom.…
You never know what to expect from Kylie Minogue. One minute she is Kylie: the prodigal pop star, beloved across generations, perennially able to pull a perfect comeback hit out of a hat. The next she is starring alongside Denis Lavant in a ludicrous Leos Carax arthouse film. In any case, she is never unsurprising, a fact made manifest this weekend when she materialized unexpectedly at two concerts: first joining Nick Cave at his giant hometown concert in Brighton, then turning up in Amsterdam to surprise WorldPride attendees during Madonna’s “Club Confessions” set. Watch footage of both below; Madonna welcomes…
