The 200th anniversary of the United States brought two years of celebrations before the actual bicentennial, on July 4, 1976. Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip accompanied President Ford on a tour of the land her predecessors had lost, a spectacular parade of ships sailed from New York City to Boston, 50 wagons recreated the settlers journey on the Oregon trail (none ate each other after an unfortunate winter in the Sierras), our most prestigious LARPers reenacted Washington's crossing of the Delaware, and Johnny Cash served as grand marshall of the July 4 parade in Washington, D.C. The city inaugurated…
Having archived the 2026 stadium tour, which concluded at the Friuli Stadium in Udine, Vasco Rossi is already looking to next year's big event: a historic residency of ten concerts at the Olympic Stadium in Rome, scheduled for 6, 7, 10, 11, 15, 16, 19, 20, 24 and 25 June 2027.

Music with explicit lyrics is on the decline in Spotify’s biggest charts, according to a new report. As reported in new analysis from pop culture data journalist Daniel Parris here, the share of explicit songs on Spotify’s Top 50 chart has fallen sharply in recent years. The data indicates that only 13 per cent of Spotify’s Top 50 songs in 2026 so far carry the ‘explicit’ tag, down from 74 per cent in 2018. Parris has argued that the trend appears to be driven by two major factors: listeners increasingly returning to older, more radio-friendly songs, and hip-hop no longer dominating Spotify’s biggest charts in the same way it did in the…

Il periodo tra la fine degli Ottanta e l’inizio dei Novanta è stato probabilmente l’ultimo in cui si è avvertita la sensazione che la popular music potesse cambiare il mondo. Dopo anni prettamente edonistici e la caduta del muro di Berlino, si è tornati a un realismo tout-court in linea con la fenomenologia punk anni Settanta. Se negli States questa cosa ha prodotto realtà come il grunge e il rap-metal, da questo lato dell’oceano la visione alternativa si è radunata intorno a generi fuoriusciti dalla cultura rave (in UK) e da sacche di combat-folk, reggae e dub figlie degli squat…

Si chiama Nueva Escena Chilena (nuova scena cilena), ma forse non è proprio una scena. Perché le band che ne fanno parte spaziano su una varietà di generi e inflessioni così ampia da far riflettere: dietro il nome c’è davvero un fenomeno coerente, o solo una vaga intuizione geografica, unita a una buona dose di hype? Inizialmente, quando le band che le venivano associate erano poche, si parlava infatti di pop de guitarras. Ora invece che questa nuova febbre indie-rock coinvolge un numero di formazioni in continua crescita, a moltiplicarsi sono anche le influenze – e parlare soltanto di chitarre…
Alien Sound Festival in Naples has been postponed after its main stage collapsed during setup due to strong winds. The Latin and electronic music event had been due to take place at the former NATO base in Bagnoli, Naples yesterday and today (July 4 and 5), with Ozuna, Gordo, Anuel AA and Myke Towers all set to perform. However, footage emerged earlier this week showing the festival’s main stage collapsing while it was being built, after strong winds hit the city and wider province of Naples. Lighting towers and other structures also reportedly came down during the extreme weather, causing serious damage to the site. No injuries were reported, with the stage…
A bond that is certainly not predictable, yet very deep, that unites Neil Young to grunge. It is no coincidence that the Canadian singer-songwriter has for decades been defined as the “Godfather of Grunge”, the godfather of the Seattle movement, due to the decisive influence he exerted on the bands that would give life to that intense rock season between the end of the 80s and the beginning of the following decade. Long before Seattle became the movement's capital, Young had already developed a language of abrasive guitars, distortions, long feedback and an instinctive approach that favored emotional expression over…
