Florence + the Machine’s upcoming Everybody Scream Tour stop in Philadelphia is being relocated due to the NHL playoffs.

According to a post on social media, the show, originally scheduled for April 25 at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philly, has been moved to the Jim Wheland Boardwalk Hall Arena in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

The post notes that refunds for the original venue will be automatically processed, with ticketholders having to repurchase tickets for the new venue. Prior ticketholders will have a 24-hour window to purchase tickets to the new show, before they go on sale to the general public.

“We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause,” the post notes. “Unfortunately this decision is beyond our control and after exploring many alternative scenarios, this became the only workable solution that would allow us not to cancel the show.”

“Thank you so much for your patience and understanding,” the post concludes.

This isn’t the first Florence + the Machine show affected by the NHL playoffs. Their Boston show that was originally scheduled for April 19 was moved to April 20 because of the playoff schedule.

Momo Boyd shared the visual for her song “Oops” from her debut EP Miss Michigan. “I wanted to create something fun and exciting and present myself in a way that feels familiar yet fresh,” she said in a statement. “I’ve always loved the timeless beauty of women from classic TV and movie roles like Hilary Banks, Moesha, Fran Fine and pretty much any character Halle Berry has played. So much like most of my imagery thus far, this is my interpretation of an era of beauty and glamour that I admire immensely.”

Another day, another chart record set by Taylor Swift. This time, it’s Billboard’s Adult Pop Airplay chart, which has been around since 1996. She currently has, not one, not two, but three songs in the chart’s top 10, which no other artist has ever done. Here’s the rundown: “Elizabeth Taylor” is at #10, “Opalite” is #8 and “The Fate of Ophelia” is #9.

We didn’t know it then, but when Olivia Rodrigo played the U.K.’s Glastonbury Festival in June of 2025, she’d already written her new single “drop dead.”  Now, she’s confirmed that what she wore during part of that set was a deliberate reference to the song

At Glastonbury, Olivia performed a couple of songs with The Cure’s Robert Smith, including their hit “Just Like Heaven.” Then, during the encore, she wore a t-shirt that said, “You Know All The Words to ‘Just Like Heaven'” — to which Robert Smith had added, in Sharpie, “But do you?”

Of course, that seemed completely normal at the time — she’d just performed the song, right? But when “drop dead” arrived today, we all found out that “You know all the words to ‘Just Like Heaven'” is actually a lyric in the song. 

“I knew that this song was coming out and I wanted to, like, do a little Easter egg,” Olivia tells Apple Music’s Zane Lowe.

Asked if she played the song for Robert Smith, Olivia says, “Oh my God, I actually don’t know if I played it for him. … I played him a bunch of other songs on the album, I don’t know why I didn’t think to play this one for him though, I should.”

As for the overall theme of “drop dead,” Olivia tells Zane, “It’s about a first date, and so it just feels like a new beginning and it’s just trying to capture all those feelings of meeting someone that you have feelings for, and just being, like, nervous and, like, kind of insecure, but super-excited and just lovesick over this person.”

Olivia’s new album you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love is out June 12.

Now that Iron Maiden is finally getting into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, wouldn’t it be a shame if the studio where they recorded one of their best-known albums was demolished?

An online petition has been started by the studio’s owners to stop the destruction of London’s Battery Studios, which is currently facing redevelopment into an apartment building. The studio is where Iron Maiden recorded their 1982 album, The Number of the Beast, their first to feature singer Bruce Dickinson and top the U.K. charts. The album features the classic title track and the hit “Run to the Hills.”

Other albums recorded at the studio in northwest London included Def Leppard’s 1981 album High ‘n’ Dry and the 1983 smash Pyromania, Black Sabbath’s 1975 release Sabotage, and albums by Whitesnake, Krokus, The Cars, The Stone Roses, Paul McCartney and more.

“We are calling on the music industry, artists, and the public to stand together to protect this irreplaceable cultural landmark,” the petition reads, adding, “The music created within its walls has shaped global culture and helped define the UK as a world leader in music.”
