In partnership with Sziget Festival Twenty One Pilots covered The White Stripes as they headlined the second day of Sziget 2026. The band – comprised of singer/guitarist Tyler Joseph and drummer Josh Dun – brought their current festival run to Budapest, following stops across Europe. Towards the end of their performance, a video played on the big screens, showing a pre-recorded message from The White Stripes frontman Jack White. “I’m Jack White, and I give Tyler and Josh permission to do this,” he told the camera. As the screens cut back to the action on stage, the pair tore into…

Ritchie Blackmore joined Deep Purple on stage for the first time in more than three decades last night – check out footage of the shock reunion below. Read More: Deep Purple – ‘Whoosh!’ review: rockers’ 21st record is stupidly fun and outrageously silly Fans of the legendary rock group had long given up on the idea of seeing the band share the stage with founding guitarist Blackmore following their well-publicised estrangement, which dates back to the early ’90s, and left things so fraught, Blackmore didn’t show up at the band’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction in 2016. However, on Wednesday…

Six months after Hayley Williams and Daniel James launched their new band, Power Snatch, with ‘EP1’, the duo have surprised fans with their second collection of songs. Read More: Hayley Williams live in Manchester: Paramore star balances joy and rage at intimate UK show The soloist and Paramore singer formed the band with frequent collaborator James, who also helped her write and produce tracks for her latest solo album, ‘Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party’. Williams unveiled the Power Snatch project earlier this year while hosting a show on Apple Music alongside James. The two initially soft-launched the band with the release…

It’s understandably hard to focus when an unsmiling Leonardo DiCaprio is staring at you. Kpop Demon Hunters singer EJAE reflected on experiencing exactly that while performing the group’s mega-hit “Golden” during the BAFTA Film Awards in February. “The BAFTAs haunt me,” EJAE said in a recent interview with the Times. “I made mistakes. I cracked a little bit on the high notes. Leonardo DiCaprio was [in the audience] right in front of me and he was not smiling.”  She explained that just before she sang the lyric “born to be” a high note in the song, she looked right at…

On Christmas Eve 2024, James Ellis Ford fell mysteriously ill. The chameleonic UK producer—who has carved out a reputation for being as skilled at reinvigorating known entities (Arctic Monkeys, Depeche Mode, Beth Gibbons) as buttressing new ones (The Last Dinner Party, Geese, Fontaines D.C.)—had built a quietly successful life in music since his early days in noughties psych-pop group Simian. But an intense fever led to a leukemia diagnosis with a 30% chance of survival. Through punishing rounds of chemotherapy, he began making music on his laptop, tinkering at a bedside table crammed with gear and singing softly into a…

The singer’s band with producer Daniel James released their second project on Wednesday Six months after Hayley Williams and producer Daniel James launched their new band, Power Snatch, with EP1, the duo is back with part two. On Wednesday, EP2 released on Bandcamp with four songs including “Machete,” “New Legs,” “Born Dead,” and “Hell Is a Highway.” The excellent quartet carries a dose of Nineties alt-rock, while Williams’ vocals sink into the potent lyrics and discordant, dreamy instrumentals. To promote the surprise drop, the band shared a clip of the surreal 1973 animated film Fantastic Planet against the lead track, “Machete.”…

It makes sense why Snoop Dogg would buy the Death Row trademark. After founder Suge Knight filed for bankruptcy in 2006, it was passed like a hot potato among holding companies and distressed-asset managers. Snoop acquired the brand and his own back catalog in a 2022 deal, treating them as low-overhead intellectual property—which may explain the abundance of screen-printed Death Row gear at your nearest Burlington Coat Factory.Snoop didn’t manage to get his hands on The Chronic or 2Pac’s masters, so he’s mostly building a streaming catalog from scratch. These latter-day Death Row records hew to a formula. Snoop clears…

MOLIY is easy to root for. In 2020, the Ghanaian singer was only 19, with one EP under her belt, when her sirenic performance on “SAD GIRLZ LUV MONEY” ratioed Amaarae on her own debut album and led to a Hot 100-charting remix featuring Kali Uchis. In 2024, MOLIY’s shy-girl dancehall single “SHAKE IT TO THE MAX (FLY)” was inescapable, launching a viral TikTok trend and getting remixed no fewer than five times. MOLIY’s specialty is courting excess without ever sounding extra. Who doesn’t like to party or shake it to the max? What sad girl doesn’t love money? And…
