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…

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…

Lewis Capaldi joked that Leeds “had me worried” during his Roundhay Festival headline show, months after calling out slow ticket sales. The Scottish singer-songwriter headlined the first edition of Roundhay Festival in Leeds last night (July 4), the new event organised by the team behind BST Hyde Park. The show had previously become the subject of a comic rant from Capaldi during an appearance on The Graham Norton Show last October, in which he highlighted the fact that the Leeds date had not sold as quickly as some of his other 2026 shows. “What the fuck are you playing at?” he quipped. “If you’re in Leeds, just buy it for someone you don’t like. That pocket of the country hate my…
Bo Knows Image Credit: Sacha Lecca for Rolling Stone Bo Staloch on the main stage. The rising singer-songwriter kicked off his set with his new single, “From a Different Age,” which shows off what he does well: achingly pretty folk-rock tunes that combine an a delicate croon, subtly atmospheric kick, and gut-punch choruses, sort of like a more anthemic Bon Iver.

By the time Noah Kahan arrived onstage in Kingston, New York on Saturday, the deluge of rain that poured down on Hutton Brickyards had finally cleared. “We're gonna play some music that makes you feel just miserable tonight,” he jokingly told the audience. “We want this to be the most fucking depressing Fourth of July of our lives.” That couldn't have been further from the truth, as Kahan kicked off a triumphant set to celebrate America's birthday at Stateside, Rolling Stone's very first music festival. Kahan is currently on a massive, sold-out stadium tour, supporting his excellent new album The…

Donald Trump had grand designs for America’s 250th anniversary. A sprawling state fair on the National Mall. Military fly-overs galore. The most powerful fireworks display known to man. And, most importantly, a primetime speech from the president himself, one he promised would be “really long” in what seemed like a direct challenge to the implement weather forecasted to hit Washington, D.C., on the Fourth of July. The weather was indeed inclement. The heat led to the cancellation of the Independence Day Parade, and later in the day incoming thunderstorms led to the evacuation of the National Mall. It was a…
