More Justin Bieber music is getting closer and closer and closer.

“friday weeknd 2 live stream and albummm. see u then,” Justin captioned his post.
For his second weekend at the festival on April 18, he brought out SZA for her “Snooze” remix, and Big Sean to perform “As Long as You Love Me” and “No Pressure.” Sexyy Red also popped up for “Sweet Spot,” while Dijon was on hand for “Devotion.”
That was also the performance that included a special appearance by Bieber superfan Billie Eilish, who was invited onstage to be Justin’s “One Less Lonely Girl.”
Both of Justin’s Coachella performances, which also incorporated archival YouTube footage from throughout his career, drew 147 million global views and boosted his streams by nearly 1,800%.

Lil Wayne has issued an apology to fans after he failed to show up at the kickoff to his 20+ Years of Carter Classics tour.
With no explanation provided, he wrote on his Instagram Story, “My Maine fans I’m so sorry.”
“The show is being rescheduled to July 28,” he continued. “Please hold on to your tickets, they will be honored for the rescheduled date. More information will be emailed directly to ticket holders.”
He added, “I ain’t s*** without you. I can’t wait to come back and give you the show you deserve.”
Wayne’s tour launched without him at the Maine Savings Amphitheater in Bangor Tuesday night. According to WABI, he was scheduled to take the stage after 2 Chainz, but instead fans “waited through a lengthy delay before being notified around 11 p.m. that Lil Wayne, 43, would not take the stage.”
The tour will make a stop at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center in Saratoga Springs, New York, on Thursday.

Ringo Starr wants to make sure fans don’t forget his birthday.
The two-time Rock & Roll Hall of Famer posted a video reminding folks that he will once again be hosting his annual Peace & Love birthday celebration on July 7, this year marking his 86th birthday.
“Every July the 7th, on my birthday since 2008, I invite anyone who wants to join me in spreading Peace and Love,” Ringo shares in the video. “By posting, saying, or even just thinking: ‘Peace and Love’ at noon… wherever you are! Peace and Love at noon!”
Fans are encouraged to share their messages of “Peace and Love” on social media using the #PeaceandLove, and to tag Ringo’s social media accounts. Ringo’s Facebook page will also be sharing clips of local Peace & Love events around the world.
Starr’s birthday is also usually marked by a celebration in Los Angeles. Last year’s event featured appearances by his brother-in-law and Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh, members of his All-Starr Band, Jackson Browne, T Bone Burnett, Linda Perry, former Guns N’ Roses drummer Matt Sorum, Diane Warren and Richard Marx.
Beverly Hills Mayor Sharona Nazarian last year declared July 7, 2025, as Ringo Starr Day in Beverly Hills.
Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Richard Wright and Nick Mason reunited for the first time in 24 years for a performance in London as part of the Live 8 concerts.
The benefit events, organized by Bob Geldof, celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Live Aid charity concerts and were timed to precede the G8 conference happening a few days later in Auchterarder, Scotland.
Prior to the show, the classic Pink Floyd lineup last performed together in June 1981 before Waters’ departure from the group.
Their set at Live 8, which marked the final full reunion of the classic Pink Floyd lineup, featured classic Pink Floyd tunes “Speak to Me,” “Breathe (In the Air)/Breathe (Reprise),” “Money,” “Wish You Were Here” and “Comfortably Numb.”

Kid Rock is apparently late night phone buddies with President Donald Trump.
The “Bawitdaba” rocker tells Australia’s Sky News that his relationship with Trump is “f****** awesome” and says that he’ll call the president late at night.
“It’s one of my late night drinking tricks because I know when to get him,” Rock says. “He’s so gracious, he always picks up or he’ll call and check in just to shoot the s***.”
As for what they talk about, Rock says that Trump isn’t calling to ask, “What should we do in Iran … ?”
“But, if I’m sitting around having some beers if it’s like 11, 12, on a Friday or Saturday, I know he’s up,” Rock says. “He sleeps like me, he sleeps five hours.”
He adds, “I enjoy the hell out of hanging out with [Trump] and talking with him and just having a front row seat to the greatest s*** show on earth.”
Rock’s relationship with Trump previously made headlines when two Apache attack helicopters did a flyby near the musician’s home in Nashville in March. After the pilots involved were initially suspended, Rock told ABC Nashville affiliate WKRN, “I think they’re going to be alright — my buddy is the commander in chief.”
Shortly thereafter, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said that the suspensions had been lifted.
Jordan Davis will commemorate America’s 250th birthday this year by playing Pennsylvania’s free Philadelphia Unity Concert for America on Saturday.
When he makes it home to Nashville, however, he knows exactly what he’s doing to celebrate.
“I love, like, cooking for people,” Jordan says. “I love having people over to the house, grilling hot dogs, cooking, making brisket, just being around the people you wanna be around with, drinking beer, watching baseball.”
“I don’t know, maybe I’m just getting old,” he adds, “but my idea of fun now is having people over to the house and just playing host, and that’s exactly what we’re gonna do this year: have some friends and family over and hang out with the kids, let ‘em run around the sprinklers, and cook a bunch of food.”
The “Turn This Truck Around” hitmaker seems to have a little time to kick back with his nearest and dearest, since his next show isn’t until July 9 in Decatur, Illinois.

Chicago will help honor America’s 250th anniversary with a performance on A Capitol Fourth: 250th Weekend Celebration, taking place on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol building.
This isn’t the first time Chicago has performed on the annual special, and founding member Lee Loughnane tells ABC there’s no other show quite like it.
“We get to play before hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people in one fell swoop,” he says. “How many years would you have to be on the road to reach that many people?”
He adds they feel “honored and privileged” to take part in the celebration, noting this year is particularly special because “250 years as a country only happens one time.”
Chicago will play three songs on A Capitol Fourth, including “Saturday in the Park.” Loughnane says that will be particularly of note because this year “July Fourth is on a Saturday.” They’ll also play “Feeling Stronger Every Day” and “25 or 6 to 4,” with the latter performed against a backdrop of fireworks.
“It’s gonna be quite the celebration,” he says.
Loughnane adds that he hopes Americans take away an important message from the festivities.
“We’ve had ups and downs for 250 years and what we still have to this day is freedom,” he says. “And we are the freest country in the world. That’s a legacy to really be proud of.”
The performance comes not long after the June death of the band’s founding member Walter Parazaider. Remembering his bandmate, Loughnane says they “had some great times together.”
He says that after all those years touring together “you either get along or get out, and obviously we did not get out. … I will miss Walt.”
A Capitol Fourth: 250th Weekend Celebration, hosted by Alfonso Ribeiro, airs July 3 at 8 p.m. ET on on public TV stations nationwide.

Sunday marks the one-year anniversary of the Back to the Beginning concert, which took place July 5, 2025, in Birmingham, England. A stacked lineup of hard rock and metal bands led up to the final live performance from the original Black Sabbath lineup and Ozzy Osbourne, who died on July 22, 2025.
Several of the participating artists spoke with ABC Audio about their Back to the Beginning experience.
Tool’s Maynard James Keenan: “In the beginning was Black Sabbath, and then everything else fits neatly below when it comes to metal. They were it. So, it was an honor.”
Alice in Chains’ Jerry Cantrell: “Just the fact that that was able to happen and [Ozzy] was able to have that moment, we were invited to be a part of it, and celebrate the man and the band, I mean, it’s one of the most important things that I was ever included in, and well deserved, as well.”
Halestorm’s Lzzy Hale: “Everyone was having the same conversations, like, ‘Oh, we can’t believe we’re here,’ but also, we wouldn’t be the rockers that we are today without these guys, without Ozzy and without Black Sabbath. So just to get to be a part of that was just, we’re so grateful, what a tremendous honor.”
Mastodon’s Brann Dailor: “When we got to go into ‘Supernaut,’ I was just, like, ‘Oh man, this is, this is, like, the biggest moment of your life right now happening.’ But I just was pretty taken by the outpouring of love and respect and community. It was all for Ozzy, it was all for Sabbath, all for those guys.”
Lamb of God’s Randy Blythe: “A show like that will never happen again, for me, ever. It was a magic thing to be a part of, I’m very grateful.”

Myles Smith will start pulling double duty in North America on July 3. In addition to opening for Ed Sheeran on the LOOP stadium tour, he’ll be headlining his own shows in support of his new album, My Mess, My Heart, My Life. Myles says what he’s doing in front of Ed’s crowd won’t be the same as what he has planned for fans coming out to see him specifically.
“They’re two completely different experiences. Supporting Ed means walking out in front of, what, like, tens of thousands of people every night,” he laughs. “And introducing yourself to a lot of people for like the very first time.”
“And my headline shows, I mean, to me, they are so much more intimate, because everyone in the room already knows the songs and the stories behind them,” he adds.
Of course, both shows will include the hits, like “Stargazing” and “Nice to Meet You,” and possibly a cover or two.
“Honestly I love both experiences because they challenge me in different ways,” he says. “And both of them offer me so many different things. And yeah, it’s super special.”
Myles is set to open for Ed through Aug. 29 in Detroit, while his own shows will wrap up Sept. 10 in Atlanta. He’ll then head to Europe and the U.K. for more headlining shows.
