F or decades, fans have been asking Sarah McLachlan the same question: “When are you going to revive Lilith Fair?” The traveling all-women festival, which took place in the summers of 1997 through 1999, was McLachlan’s direct response to the sexism of the music industry, and the promoters who told her that multiple women couldn’t be featured on the same concert lineup (or played consecutively on radio, for that matter). And for nearly 30 years, the singer-songwriter gave the same answer: Lilith Fair was in the past. “I’m too old,” she told Rolling Stone last year. “If it were to…

Talking Heads’ David Byrne has written a song for a “scathing” new Elon Musk documentary, and the lyrics are reportedly only comprised of the billionaire’s quotes. The new feature-length documentary is made by Alex Gibney, who is behind Going Clear: Scientology And The Prison Of Belief, The Inventor: Out For Blood In Silicon Valley, and the Oscar-winning Enron: The Smartest Guys In The Room. Described as a “definitive and unvarnished examination” of the billionaire tycoon, Musk is set to open in cinemas on October 16, and has already been criticised by Elon Musk – who described the 235-minute film as…

There’s something familiar about Maren Morris’s East Nashville living room. Maybe it’s the wood-paneled walls, or the gorgeous upright piano with its gilded exposed innards that evokes an old organ, or the two stained-glass windows that refract slices of tinted light. It feels, to be honest, kind of like church. “A little bit on the nose, huh,” Morris says with a laugh. A decade ago, she released her breakout single “My Church” from her debut album Hero, and she’s rolling with the metaphors. This cabin-like home she shares with her son Hayes has become her sanctuary, and, in a few…

Amelia Dimoldenberg has announced the final series of her long-running, algorithm-conquering interview series Chicken Shop Date. The deadpan host welcomed the likes of Paul McCartney, Billie Eilish, Dave, and Sabrina Carpenter across a 12-year run, posing acerbic, flirty, and fearless questions that used spontaneity and awkwardness to jolt guests off script. The decision to wind down the series will allow her to “move on from this adventure and onto the next one,” she said in a statement.Dimoldenberg founded Chicken Shop Date at 17, as a print column for a London magazine called The Cut (no relation to the New York…

When NME squeezed into President’s inaugural headline show last July, heated online discourse had emerged around the band. One month earlier, the anonymous quartet introduced themselves at Download Festival, overflowing their tent by a country mile despite being booked as an unknown entity. Nepotism objections only increased when a tour with Architects and a deal with Atlantic Records followed. Nevertheless, an obsessive fanbase began to brew; at Slam Dunk Festival 2026, their crowd size at 6pm equalled that of stage headliners Knocked Loose. Their upcoming UK tour, which includes London’s 5,000-capacity O2 Academy Brixton, sold out within hours. You can’t…
