Ed Sheeran returned to his ‘Loop’ tour after a week of sustained controversy – check out what went down below. Sheeran’s tour is now without a single opening act after Macklemore was dropped from the tour over his impassioned “free Palestine” speech made while opening for Sheeran at New Jersey’s Gillette Stadium. The speech prompted calls for his removal from figures like Pink and the Israeli American Council, and Gillette Stadium owner Robert Kraft later said he found Macklemore’s speech “deeply offensive and hurtful to the Jewish community,” resulting in his dismissal. Since then, all of Sheeran’s support acts and backing…
12 marzo 1978: la scena è il New London Theatre di Drury Lane, a Londra. Cinque band salgono sul palco per una serata che, almeno nelle intenzioni, dovrebbe rappresentare molto più di un concerto. Ci sono gli inglesi Henry Cow, padroni di casa e organizzatori, gli italiani Stormy Six, i francesi Etron Fou Leloublan, i belgi Univers Zero e gli svedesi Samla Mammas Manna. Rock in Opposition è il nome scelto per quella serata e, in seguito, per un progetto destinato a coinvolgere quegli e altri musicisti sparsi in tutta Europa. Lo slogan è esplicito: “The music the record companies…

The iconic, oft-referenced sequence in 1969’s psychedelic biker opera Easy Rider features the film’s twinned anti-heroes, Billy and Wyatt, tearing down a sprawling U.S. highway astride two choppers at some impossible speed, soundtracked by one of the greatest badass statements of purpose rock’n’roll ever yielded: Steppenwolf’s “Born to Be Wild.” It’s a song that perfectly bisects the dueling hippie impulses between the communitarian and utopian, and the hedonistically self-fascinated, a painful cleavage which was coming to the fore just as Easy Rider hit screens in July…
Ed Sheeran took the stage on Saturday night for the first time since Macklemore was removed from his stadium tour following the Seattle rapper’s onstage speech in support of Palestinians. The singer, who did not have any opening acts at the Philadelphia show, addressed the backlash at the top of his set. “This is not usually how I would open the show, but before I play some songs tonight, I hope it’s okay if I say a few words about this last week,” he said, visibly shaken as he spoke. “I’m used to my music being criticized, and I’m always…

The K-G-Bitch Brings Brooklyn Steel to Its Knees Image Credit: CAROLINE SAFRAN for Rolling Stone When Adéla first introduced , it was with the lead single “KGB,” a pulsating, bass-heavy record made to be blasted from loud speakers. “No, I’m not being cocky, I just worked my whole life,” she sings on the song, which outlines her journey from Slovakia to the stage. “I wanna pop off so these big mouths can’t say shit.” One glimpse of her in her element is all it takes to shut them up.
