Wale is taking his talents on the road soon with his newly announced Everything Is A Lot… The Tour.
The three-month U.S. tour is set to kick off in San Francisco on May 26, making stops in Phoenix, Dallas, New York, Philadelphia and other cities, before a final show slated for Minneapolis in July.
The tour, named after Wale’s most recent eighth studio album, will feature appearances from St. Louis rapper and singer Smino.
In promoting the tour on social media Wednesday, Wale pointed fans to the link in his Instagram bio where they could sign up to receive information on the presale, available starting Thursday. The general sale begins Friday.

Niall Horan just dropped a collaborative single, “Drive Safe,” with his new BFF Myles Smith. During an interview to promote that song, he also gave his opinion on his former One Direction bandmate Harry Styles’ new single, “Aperture.”
While talking to Hits Radio UK, Niall said of “Aperture,” which has topped the U.K. and U.S. charts, “I’m delighted for him. It’s a great song. Obviously a completely, like, change of sound, but yeah, it’s a banger, isn’t it? It’s gonna be great live.”
Niall said that he won’t be attending the BRIT Awards, where Harry is performing live, on Feb. 28, so we won’t see them in a photo op together. But 1D fans have been eating well lately: Louis Tomlinson released a new album and has a tour coming up. Harry’s album is due in March, followed by a tour, and ZAYN’s album is coming out in April, followed by a tour.
Niall, meanwhile, is just finishing up a new solo album, but no word yet on when that’s coming out.

Major League Soccer’s San Jose Earthquakes are paying tribute to the Grateful Dead with their brand-new kit.
The team has just debuted a new secondary jersey, which is purple and blue tie-dye with the Grateful Dead skeleton logo on a patch on the sleeve.
According to a post on Instagram, the new kit celebrates “the spirit of the Bay Area and the enduring connection between music, culture, and community.” It’s described as a “collaboration that bridges the gap between the Grateful Dead’s legendary counterculture and the relentless spirit of Soccer in San Jose.”
The kit is currently available for preorder and will officially be available starting Saturday.
And the Earthquakes aren’t the only team paying tribute to an artist with their new kit. The St. Louis City SC has debuted a secondary kit paying tribute to Tina Turner, featuring a patch with her portrait on the sleeve and her name embroidered on the back. It is available now.

David Archuleta’s new memoir, Devout: Losing My Faith to Find Myself, is out on Feb. 17, and in an exclusive excerpt on People.com, the singer reveals he once contemplated taking his own life, to the point where he started searching for the right place to do it.
As he details in the book, David, 35, couldn’t reconcile the fact that he was queer with his Mormon faith, and it was torturing him. David writes in the excerpt, “The logic flowed that if God left me with these homosexual feelings, I supposed He didn’t want me to exist. I contemplated whether it would be better to admit to myself that I was gay or end my life.”
He goes on to write that he tried to determine the safest, “most efficient way” to commit suicide, adding, “I started going on short drives, scouting locations, looking for a place I could crash my car at a high speed without hurting anyone else.”
But after he found a place that would work, he writes, “The thing that held me back wasn’t the fear of death, but the fear of not dying. If I survived but broke my back, I might be paralyzed, and then it’d be impossible to try again. I’d have to exist with my thoughts for decades without being able to do anything about them.”
David says in the memoir he had a conversation with God, which convinced him that it was OK to be who he is.
“I was almost willing to give my life up because I was so devoted to what I believed,” he tells People. “I’m just grateful to be alive and to see what I can do with my life while I’m here. It really feels like starting again.”

The Warning has announced the band’s only U.S. headlining concert of 2026.
The show will take place June 11 at New York City’s Rooftop at Pier 17. Presales are open now, and tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday at 10 a.m. ET.
While they won’t be playing any other U.S. headlining shows for the year, The Warning will be spending plenty of time stateside while opening for Yungblud’s tour, kicking off in May.
The Warning’s most recent album is 2024’s Keep Me Fed, which includes the single “S!CK.” They put out a new song Friday called “Love to Be Loved” in collaboration with fellow Mexican musician Carín León.
Megan Moroney will be honored for her work to empower other women in the music industry Feb. 18 in Los Angeles.
The Sharing the Spotlight event is put on by She is the Music, which was founded by superstar Alicia Keys.
“Megan represents something so important for this moment in music—the way she builds her teams and shows up for other women is leadership,” Alicia says.
“I wouldn’t be where I am today, in my career and in life, without the support of all the incredible females around me,” Megan says. “Knowing that some of the most talented women in the business always have my back gives me the creative space to focus on my artistry and for this I’m beyond grateful.”
Megan’s being feted alongside Sylvia Rhone at the gathering, which encourages attendees to “bring another woman you want to open the door for.”
Sylvia stepped down from Epic Records in 2025, after becoming the first Black female record executive to be CEO of a major label.

It looks like ZAYN’s daughter is following in her dad’s footsteps.
ZAYN shares daughter Kai with his ex Gigi Hadid. In the new episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast, host Alex Cooper asked him what Kai wants to be when she grows up.
“She definitely wants to be a K-pop star. She’s big into K-pop,” ZAYN said. However, he’s not too happy about it.
“I’d like to keep her away from it, you know, but at the end of the day, if she’s happy … I’ll support her,” he said. “I would like to keep her away from some of the headache that this job entails.”
But the fact that Kai is even thinking about being a K-pop star may reflect the fact that her upbringing is a bit different from other kids.
“I’m raising her in an environment that isn’t the same as everybody’s. You know, her dad is a pop star, her mom is a model,” ZAYN said. “And certain things that she does in life might not, you know, always reflect what other people’s understanding of reality is.”
For example, when Kai lost her first tooth, he gave her 500 pounds, roughly $680, from the tooth fairy.
“Her mom gave me s*** about it,” ZAYN admitted. “And I was like, at the end of the day, I worked my a** off and like I should be able to give my kid what I want to give her, you know?”
When Alex says she agreed with Gigi on that topic, ZAYN said, “Yeah, a lot of people do,” but argued, “It’s her first tooth. … I’m going to keep that one and frame it.”
As for what he’ll do for Kai’s second tooth, he said she’ll get only five bucks.
