READ MORE: Gorillaz – ‘The Mountain’ review: a world-building ode to death and starting over Damon Albarn and co. were headlining the Danish festival’s Orange stage on Thursday (July 2), which coincided with the psych rockers’ set on the Legune stage. Problems occurred as Uncle Acid’s set was clearly audible at the Gorillaz show, which led to some perturbed comments from Albarn. “Is it supposed to be possible for me to hear the other music so clearly?” Albarn asked the…

During his lifetime, Woody Guthrie saw America at ground level, riding boxcars, singing in taverns and on street corners, and even living for a time in a California migrant camp. These experiences shaped the songs he wrote, giving voice to migrant workers, laborers, and other marginalized Americans. Through his music, Guthrie protested inequality and championed social justice, helping define the role of folk music as a vehicle for change. Guthrie died in 1967 at age 55, but his music has never…

Adam Sandler officiated Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding at Madison Square Garden on last night, helping the happy couple to tie the knot. Many fans expressed surprise that the Happy Gilmore actor was selected to lead the festivities, but the couple actually does have a history with Sandler. Kelce notably appeared in Happy Gilmore 2 last year as a waiter. Later in the film, he made a shirtless cameo alongside Bad Bunny and a bear. “Travis is such a gentle, nice guy, and funny as hell,” Sandler told Entertainment Tonight. “He's like the guys I grew up with. When…

With “Nature Is Healing”, HorsegiirL takes the riskiest step that a project born as a meme, avatar or viral phenomenon can attempt: to transform its narrative universe into something that aspires to last beyond the initial joke. The half-horse, half-human DJ who has conquered festivals in recent years, social networks and international clubs could have limited himself to reiterating the formula of “My Barn My Rules”, accumulating hard-dance, irony and equine nonsense until the game ran out. Instead he chooses a more ambitious direction: building an album that tries to bring together humor, pop spirituality, rave culture and a sincere…

As an immigrant and later a citizen, more than 50 Fourths of July have taught me to love the day’s exuberance — backyard barbecues, tailgate parties, and outings like sailing out on a small boat to join thousands on a sunlit lake. Parades and fireworks added flourish, but what I remember most was the communal revelry: neighbors and strangers laughing, sharing stories, sharing food, and marking the day together. Bright shirts and breezy shorts in flag colors offered a casual nod to the occasion. But rarely was there any talk of “freedom” or “liberty,” much less the Declaration of Independence.…

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce said “I do” on Friday night, celebrating their marriage alongside hundreds of guests at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Swift's whirlwind romance with Kelce, who proposed to her last August, marked a happily ever after for the singer after some not-so-successful relationships. The upbeat occasion delighted fans, many of whom have been with Swift on her journey for decades. Fans celebrated the nuptials on social media, as well as in person, with a crowd of very dedicated Swifties waiting patiently outside MSG to spot the couple. For some, the aspirational quality of the…

Stevie Nicks is no stranger to playing Madison Square Garden, having performed solo as well as with Fleetwood Mac several times over the years. And while we imagine that every MSG performance is special, this one was likely one for the books as Nicks performed at the nuptials of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. Although details of the performance remain scarce, Good Morning America hosts Robin Roberts, Michael Strahan, and George Stephanopoulos confirmed that Nicks did take the stage. “We can confirm that, yes, Stevie Nicks did perform,” Roberts, who attended the wedding alongside her co-hosts, said on the show…

The hard-blues opening leaves no doubt: “The Way To The Stars” is the passport to the stars signed by Revangels, a Milanese band now on their second album. Proud, visceral sounds, which smell of tube amplifiers, dust and sweat, with the ghost of Led Zeppelin walking arm in arm with the street urgency of Free, and the sincere urgency of musicians who chew this music right down to their guts. The album thrives on wild dynamics and muddy slowdowns, sudden hard-rock flare-ups and robust roundness that would work perfectly in radio airplay (the final “A Spark In The Darkness” is…
