Dead & Company kicked off their 2022 tour Friday evening with an epic show at L.A.’s Dodger Stadium that was heavy on Dead standards like “Casey Jones,” “China Doll,” “Jack Straw,” and “Scarlet Begonias.” Toward the end of the second set, they broke out a cover of Traffic’s “Dear Mr. Fantasy” that transitioned into an instrumental coda of the Beatles’ “Hey Jude.” Check out the fan-shot video above. “Dear Mr. Fantasy” was a regular part of the Grateful Dead’s live repertoire from 1984 to 1990, but this was the first time it was attempted by Dead & Company. The Grateful…

The Kid Laroi invited some veritable legends of Australian music to join him on stage Sunday, June 12 — and not anyone from AC/DC, not Olivia Newton-John, Keith Urban, Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker, Kylie Minogue, or Sia. Rather. Nope. It was the titans of down-under children’s entertainment, The Wiggles. The Kid Laroi gave the Wiggles probably the most hype introduction they have ever received as he welcomed them to the stage in the middle of his headlining gig at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne. Fan-shot video captured Laroi and his hype-man as they made sure the pit was properly…

The festival — which also hosts art…
One of Sunny Singh’s proudest moments as a videographer was the night he got punched in the face with his own camera. Singh — who for the past decade-plus has singlehandedly built up one of the web’s most robust and widely admired archives of live-music footage on his hate5six YouTube channel — was filming a DIY hardcore show in Baltimore when a would-be stage diver swung his arms wildly, accidentally shoving Singh’s camera square into his mouth and breaking two of his teeth in the process. “If you watch the video, I get punched and I fall down sideways and…
Harry Styles has only performed the newest cuts from his third studio album, Harry’s House, a few times before kicking off the latest leg of his extensive “Love on Tour” trek. Still, the musician was up for the challenge of performing “Boyfriends” in just one take on the Japanese YouTube channel The First Take. Styles was joined by Sarah Jones and Elin Sandberg for assistance on the chorus, while Mitch Rowland led on acoustic guitar with Ny Oh on both guitar and backing vocals. The stripped-back acoustic performance sticks to the original arrangement of the track just as it was…
Maluma knows that sex sells. One need only refer to his last full-length effort, 2020’s Papi Juancho, which returned the Colombian singer and bonafide superstar to smutty form following the arena ambitions of the preceding 11:11. His ability to pivot between the after hours sinful pleasure seeking of “Felices Los 4” and the Hollywood-polished rom-com accessibility of this year J. Lo starrer Marry Me shows that he’s a successful smooth operator in the music industry. In the roughly two years since Papi Juancho, the Latin pop landscape has somehow both broadened and narrowed. Dwarfed by the supernova-esque ascent of Bad…
Ohana Fest is adding a second weekend of music at the beach this October. On Monday, Eddie Vedder’s music festival announced that it will be extending itself to a second “Ohana Encore” weekend with Vedder headlining, alongside Alanis Morissette on day one and the Black Keys and Haim on day two.

The Rolling Stones were just hours away from taking the stage at Amsterdam’s Johan Cruyff Arena Monday evening for the fourth date of their 60th anniversary tour when Mick Jagger announced that he had tested positive for Covid and the show wouldn’t be happening. “I’m so sorry that we’ve had to postpone the Amsterdam show with such short notice tonight,” he wrote to fans on Instagram. “I have unfortunately just tested positive for Covid. We aim to reschedule the date ASAP and get back as soon as we can. Thank you all for your patience and understanding.” View this post…
By now, we all know Kelly Clarkson is the queen of covers. During Monday’s Kelly Clarkson Show, the singer channeled Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty with a cover of their collab, “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around.” Wearing a magenta sweatshirt with a black-and-white skirt, the TV host and singer brought the early Eighties to her talk show during her beloved “Kellyoke” segment. Clarkson is no stranger to Nicks covers on the show either, she covered “Edge of Seventeen” and Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams” and “The Chain” last year. She also sang Petty’s “I Won’t Back Down.” Clarkson’s rendition of the Petty-Nicks…
One of Ray Liotta’s final projects before his death is coming to Apple TV+. The streaming service unveiled the first trailer for the upcoming psychological thriller series Black Bird on Wednesday, starring Liotta as a disappointed father to a troubled Taron Egerton. The trailer opens with the voice of the late actor speaking to his son Jimmy Keene, played by Egerton, now in prison. “I never wanted this for you,” Liotta says as Big Jim. “I wanted a totally different life. A steady paycheck. Kids. A family.” “Dad. Tell me there’s a way out of this,” Keene responds. “Not a quick…
Someone get Nick Cannon’s stork a veterinarian because that poor bird’s back probably hurts. The Masked Singer host went on the Lip Service podcast on Tuesday and answered some questions about rumors that he had some more babies on the way. “When you say ‘on the way . . . ‘ What count are you at? Let’s just put it this way . . . the stork is on the way,” Cannon said. Responding to a question that he could have three children showing up this year, he added, “I don’t know, it could be.” Cannon joked by saying, “If…
AMC’s new drama Dark Winds, based on Tony Hillerman’s bestselling series of buddy-cop mystery novels set on a Navajo reservation in New Mexico, is not the first television attempt at the property. Twenty years ago, PBS made a trio of TV-movies adapted from Hillerman’s books, starring Wes Studi as veteran detective Joe Leaphorn and Adam Beach as his young partner Jim Chee. While it was exciting to see an under-represented group at the center of a familiar genre, it was also a sign of Hollywood’s limited imagination when it came to telling stories about indigenous characters. Adam Beach was basically…
Jim Carrey, Chris Rock, John Mayer, and John Stamos lead an all-star tribute to the late Bob Saget in a new Netflix comedy special out tomorrow, June 10. Dirty Daddy: The Bob Saget Tribute also includes friends, co-stars and fellow comics like Jackson Browne, Dave Chappelle, Michael Keaton, Jeff Ross, Jon Lovitz and Full House’s Dave Coulier and Candace Cameron Bure. In the new trailer for the special, the comedians involved tap into Saget’s trademark dark humor, welcoming attendees to “the Bob superspreader.” “We’re coming to see you, Bob,” Carrey quips of the Covid risk. (As Rock noted of the…
“Let me spill the tea, ’cause I feel like nobody’s asked me about this before,” says Deleesa St. Agathe, laughing. St. Agathe is the mom of two small children and a lifestyle influencer with more than 333,000 followers on Instagram, but she’s perhaps best known as the winner of Season 2 of The Circle, Netflix’s hyper-addictive reality series about a group of contestants in a social media network called The Circle. (The Circle does not exist outside of the confines of the show itself.) Contestants periodically rank each other based on likability and the alliances they forge over the course of the…
