The flood in the Texas Hill Country over July 4 weekend last summer had a profound effect on the Texas music community.

Over time, however, he found the resolve to pay tribute to the 27 campers and counselors who died at Camp Mystic, a girls' summer camp along the Guadalupe River. Abbott did it the best way he knows how:…
Starting on January 23, 1977 from the Westfalenhalle in Dortmund, the “In The Flesh Tour” represented one of the most important and at the same time most problematic moments in Pink Floyd's history. It was in fact the only tour during which the group performed “Animals” in full, but it went down in history above all for the tensions that emerged between Roger Waters, the rest of the band and an increasingly large audience. From those frictions the idea of ”The Wall” was born.After a first European leg that ended at the end of March, the tour resumed on April…

Tranquilo Quieto, an ongoing series of live music sessions in Puerto Rico, started out in 2017 as a simple concept: live DJ hip-hop sets with rotating guest artists, curated by producer David B and musician Josué “Messy” Deprat. But the idea transformed after the pandemic in 2020, when the team added director/photographer Edgar “Edgo” Cruz and began producing videos in various locations around Puerto Rico, featuring names like Chuwi, PJ Sin Suela, RaiNao, and iLe, amassing millions of combined views. “We had to explore how we were going to readjust to the reality of the time, and from there we…

Becky Hill has spoken to NME about Jack Whitehall calling her ‘Wetherspoons Whitney’ at last year’s BRIT Awards, asking: “How fucking dare he punch down?” The incident happened last year when the comedian and actor took aim at the singer while hosting the 2025 BRIT Awards – calling her ‘Wetherspoons Whitney’ and insinuating that she was less well off because of her Midlands accent. At the time, Hill hit back, sharing a post on Instagram that highlighted how many of the night’s winners had come from highly privileged backgrounds. Her post pointed out that Charli XCX – who won five…
