The Smashing Pumpkins brought out Olivia Rodrigo, Yungblud and Melissa Auf der Maur during their headline set at Lollapalooza 2026 – see footage and setlist below. The Chicago alt-rock veterans topped the bill on the festival’s Bud Light Stage last night (July 31), marking their first performance at Lollapalooza since they headlined its travelling 1994 edition. Billy Corgan and co. delivered a 17-song hometown set that saw them joined by Yungblud for ‘Luna’ from their 1993 album ‘Siamese Dream’, with the Doncaster singer, who had performed his own set earlier in the day, telling the crowd: “This is a fucking dream come true!” Later, Corgan told the crowd: “And now…
Patti Smith met Pope Leo XIV on Friday at the Vatican, with the singer and the pontiff, two Chicago natives, sitting down for a 40-minute conversation Just days after Smith performed in Rome, she visited the pope in a meeting arranged by Rev. Antonio Spadaro, undersecretary in the Vatican’s culture ministry and a friend of Smith’s. “This is a moment that shall forever produce a smile,” Smith wrote on Instagram of the encounter. Upon first meeting, Smith greeted Pope Leo XIV with “Hi, hi,” uttered in the same way she said it on her 1979 song “Wave,” a track that…
In 2018, Abdul El-Sayed ran for governor in Michigan. He had a resume full of credentials including stints at the University of Michigan, Oxford, and Columbia for medical school — but no political experience. He conducted a Bernie-style progressive campaign against Gretchen Whitmer but found himself stonewalled by the political establishment and powerful interest groups. In the end, he faced a sedated electorate disinterested in a campaign centered around getting money out of politics and untangling the octopus-like ties between government and big business. El-Sayed lost to Whitmer by 22 points. Now it’s 2026 and El-Sayed, an Egyptian-American, is running…
Each night of Lollapalooza offers four competing headliners, and oftentimes it’s difficult to choose where to land at the end of the night. The second night of the 2026 edition in Chicago’s Grant Park was no exception, with the evening offering Charli XCX, the Smashing Pumpkins, Major Lazer, and Freddie Gibbs as its top line. If there was a night this year for headlining FOMO, it was this one. The two main stage spots belonged to Charli, whose return to Lolla also marked her first festival date following the release of her excellent Music, Fashion, Film, and the Pumpkins,…

Times-Herald reporter Cheryl Tucker walked into Elvis Presley‘s Aug. 1, 1976, show at the Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, Virginia, with an open mind. She’d never seen Presley in concert before, and wanted to see how the rock icon could transform “a grown woman into something resembling a vocal mass of jello.” She was not impressed. “Judging from his performance, they are screaming for what he was, what he symbolizes, rather than what he is or how he sings now,” Tucker wrote. “He performed his songs well Sunday, although he didn’t do very many. But there was no soul, no driving…
Sound and vision. Musica e immagine. Due componenti inscindibili nell’arte di David Bowie. Tra tutti i membri dell’aristocrazia rock, il Duca Bianco è stato il più consapevole del valore delle immagini e il più abile nello sfruttarle, rendendole parte integrante della sua opera. Fin dagli anni Settanta aveva sviluppato una pionieristica attitudine al videoclip che nel decennio successivo, l’era di Mtv, avrebbe maturato appieno, ponendosi all’avanguardia (anche) della luccicante stagione della videomusica. A partire da “D.J.”, uno dei primi brani a essere fornito di un commento visivo davvero elaborato, grazie al regista David Mallet, che cattura Bowie nei panni del…

Tom Waits has released the full version of his sardonic spoken-word track ‘The Fly’ – check it out below. The track serves as the B-side to ‘Boots On The Ground‘, Waits’ politically charged collaboration with Massive Attack, which was released online in April and marked the singer-songwriter’s first new original music since his 2011 album ‘Bad As Me‘. A tease of ‘The Fly’ was released several months ago, but now the entire track has been shared, and it sees Waits offer a begrudging tribute to the brief and unloved life of the common housefly. “You have no house, well you have mine / You have no…
