The anonymous duo – who also hail from Quebec – played the festival’s TD Stage at Place des Festivals on Saturday night (June 27), drawing one of the biggest crowds in the event’s recent history, with officials saying they had not seen a turnout of that size since Stevie Wonder’s appearance in 2009. According to Urgences-santé, paramedics assessed 10 people during the event, with six later being transported to hospital and four others refusing transport after being seen by medical teams.

Lizzo is addressing the reception to her latest album, Bitcheswhich made headlines this month after failing to chart on the Billboard 200 despite her previous album, Specialdebuting at Number Two with 69,000 equivalent album units earned in 2022. Of course, public perception of the Grammy-winning artist has changed within the few years between albums. In 2023, her former backup dancers accused her of sexual harassment, creating a hostile work environment, and fat-shaming in a lawsuit that has yet to be settled. During a recent interview with Zachary Hourihane, aka the Swiftologist, on his podcast Proto PopLizzo opened up about fans…
This weekend saw Foo Fighters complete two sold out shows at Anfield Stadium in Liverpool, where the band were joined on stage by two very special guests. The US rock titans’ only scheduled UK shows of 2026 (with the band teasing more to come next year) kicked off on Thursday June 25. In the latter part of the show, frontman Dave Grohl picked out (who was assumed to be) a fan from the audience, holding a sign that challenged the band to let him play a song if he could complete a Rubik’s cube. He took to the stage and…

It's something fans have been wondering, and in many cases clamoring for, for at least 14 years (or a full 16 if you're a real genre stickler): When will Taylor Swift go country again? Twenty years ago, Swift broke through as a rising Nashville star, before quickly, and deftly, pulling off the ultimate crossover pivot en route to becoming the biggest pop star on the planet. In terms of pure output, Swift's “country era” comprises a mere quarter of her entire oeuvre: Just four albums out of 12, and maybe only three depending on how strictly you want to classify…
Metallica have covered Tom Jones’ ‘Delilah’ at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium, despite the song being banned from the venue. The metal icons played the Welsh capital last night (June 28) as part of the final UK run of their ongoing ‘M72’ world tour, and used their mid-set ‘Kirk and Rob Doodle’ section to nod to one of Wales’ most famous sons. Their choice of cover is somewhat loaded, however, as in 2023, the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) banned the 1968 hit from being performed by choirs in the stadium at Wales internationals due to its references to domestic violence. The song’s lyrics, by Barry Mason, were written from the perspective of a man who kills his partner…

When the surviving members of the Grateful Dead hit the road as the Other Ones back in 2002, singer-guitarist Susan Tedeschi was asked to join the group. It was one of the most unpredictable musical experiences the Tedeschi Trucks Band member ever had. “You just got to be on your toes, you go to be ready for anything. They don't even know what they're going to do until they do it,” she tells Rolling Stone's Nashville Now podcasts. That was especially true of Bob Weir, who died in January at 78. Before a show, Weir would tell Tedeschi how they…
