The immersive Gorillaz exhibition House of Kong is coming to New York City.
The exhibit will be open at the Agger Fish Building in Brooklyn from Sept. 1 to Sept. 28. Presales begin June 29 at 10 a.m. ET, and tickets go on sale to the general public on June 30 at 10 a.m. ET.
“House of Kong is not a retrospective, it’s an audio-visual artwork; an installation that takes a glance backwards in order to identify the path ahead,” says creative director Stephen Gallagher says in a statement.

(WASHINGTON) — The Supreme Court on Thursday struck down a Hawaii law that prohibits the carry of a firearm onto private property that is open to the public unless the property owner gives express consent.
In a 6-3 decision by Justice Samuel Alito, the court’s conservative majority said the law imposed “severe restrictions on the daily activities” of lawful gun owners in violation of the Second Amendment.
“Rather than allowing all to enter private property open to the public unless specifically prohibited, these new laws provided that no one carrying a firearm may enter without express authorization,” Alito wrote.
“The Hawaii law at issue here violates the constitutional right to keep and bear arms,” the opinion said.
The ruling, which likely also invalidates similar laws in California, Maryland, New York and New Jersey, is a setback for gun control advocates that had argued the measures were necessary for public safety in places like shopping malls, bars, restaurants, theaters, farms, arenas and private beaches.
Hawaii had argued that there is no such thing as a right to armed entry onto private property without consent, pointing to a handful of historical examples of similar laws since America’s founding.
But the court’s conservatives concluded that those analogues were “outlier legal rules adopted in a few locales.”
“Overwhelming evidence shows an enduring American tradition permitting public carry,” Alito wrote.
While private property owners may still prohibit firearms on their premises, the onus now falls entirely on those owners to post signage banning guns. The default rule, in essence, is that lawful gun owners may carry their weapons unless told otherwise, according to the decision.
Forty-five states presume that it is okay to carry guns on private property open to the public unless property owners make their contrary wishes clear.
In dissent, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, joined by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, said the ruling “only further binds the hands of modern legislatures attempting to balance and protect their residents’ interests.”
“Today’s decision makes one thing clear: The Court’s objective is protecting guns, not consistently preserving any principle of law,” Jackson wrote.
The National Rifle Association, which backed the challenge to the Hawaii law, praised the majority decision in a statement on X.
“Law-abiding gun owners will no longer be forced to beg for special permission simply to exercise their constitutional right to bear arms in public places,” wrote NRA-ILA Executive Director John Commerford.
Brady, a gun safety group, slammed the court’s decision as “deeply dangerous” and one that “privileges guns over everything and all people in society.”
“This common-sense law is what the people of Hawaii wanted, but the court has complete disregard for that community will. Ultimately, the court makes it clear that it cares little about the threat of gun violence posed to the American people,” said Kris Brown, the group’s president.
If you like what Miranda Lambert’s been cooking up with “Crisco,” you’ll be glad to know the song is also the title track of her new record arriving Oct. 2.
The 12-song collection also includes “A Song to Sing” with Chris Stapleton, her cover of Jim Croce’s “I’ll Have to Say I Love You in a Song” and “Till the Going’s Gone,” which drops Friday.
“I’ve always loved every corner of country music,” Miranda says. “The heartbreak songs, the honky-tonk songs, the songs that make you think and the songs that make you dance. Making this record reminded me that those things don’t have to be separated. We followed the songs wherever they wanted to go, trusted our instincts and ended up with something that feels really fun and really honest to who I am.”
Here’s the complete track list for Miranda Lambert’s Crisco, which she produced with songwriter Jesse Frasure:
“Snakeskin Boots” “Crisco” “Cowgirl Curtsy” “Two Things Can Be True” “Cuttin’ Onions” “Till The Going’s Gone” “To Everything” “Whiskey Business” “Right Where We Left It” “A Song To Sing” (with Chris Stapleton) “I’ll Have To Say I Love You In A Song” “Sunset Marquis”

The New York Times is on full Taylor Swift wedding watch, with even more details to share about the reported upcoming nuptials, which are rumored to be taking place at New York’s Madison Square Garden.
The paper reported Thursday that an entertainment industry executive said that Taylor has indeed rented out the arena. That same executive and one other person “with knowledge of the matter” offered more details on how the celebration would reportedly progress: On July 2, an “intimate gathering” of about 100 people is expected at the Garden, followed by a July 3 celebration with “about 1,000” guests and “possible stage appearances.”
The paper reported Wednesday that the police officers who patrol the Amtrak train station beneath the arena have been told that Taylor and Travis Kelce will get married that weekend. It also reported that several members of the Kansas City Chiefs had booked rooms around those dates at the Marriott Marquis hotel in Times Square.
Meanwhile, ABC News has confirmed that an event company has filed a permit requesting the closure of West 31st Street near the Garden from July 2 through July 4. In addition, city officials told ABC News that the company has also requested permission for an “exterior canopy” to be set up outside the arena to conceal the comings and goings for the event.
Paul McCartney headlined the U.K.’s Glastonbury Festival in Somerset, England, performing a 38-song set on the Pyramid Stage.
The concert took place one week after McCartney turned 80, making him the oldest solo headliner ever to play the festival.
McCartney’s set opened with The Beatles’ “Can’t Buy Me Love” and was filled with Beatles and Wings tracks, as well as solo material.
It also included a special guest appearance by Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl, who joined him on “I Saw Her Standing There” and “Band on the Run.”
Bruce Springsteen also made a surprise appearance, performing his Born in the U.S.A. hit “Glory Days” with McCartney. They also teamed up for The Beatles’ “I Wanna Be Your Man.”
Both Springsteen and Grohl came out at the end of the set to help McCartney close the show with The Beatles’ “The End.”
The reunited ’90s alt rock band Sugar has released a new song called “Keep Looping.”
“Living in [San Francisco], I have a love/hate relationship with AI,” frontman Bob Mould says of the inspiration behind “Keep Looping.” “It’s bringing my City back to life, but at what cost to society and the environment? And do we trust the current regime to do the right thing with this new tech?”
He adds, “The new song has more snarl, and the lyrics say it all: A touch of dopamine. The steady beat of the drum. Get used to the constant hum of the Lie.”
“Keep Looping” marks the third new track from Sugar since they announced their return in October. It follows “House of Dead Memories” and “Long Live Love.”
Sugar played their first live shows in over 30 years in May in New York City. They’ll kick off a full U.S. reunion tour in August.
A new Joy Division box set, described as the band’s “first-ever official collection of live concert recordings,” has been announced.
The compilation, titled Eternal, is due out Sept. 25. It consists of 192 tracks sourced from 16 live performances, including the final Joy Division concert in 1980, spread over 14 CDs. The package also includes two DVDs featuring two-and-a-half hours of live footage.
You can listen to a rendition of the song “Transmission,” recorded in Paris in December 1979, out now.
Joy Division was active from 1976 to 1980 and released just two albums during their brief but incredibly influential run. Beyond their significant musical impact, the cover artwork for their 1979 album, Unknown Pleasures, has become an iconic image in alternative music.
Joy Division disbanded in 1980 following the death of frontman Ian Curtis, who was 23. The rest of the band — guitarist Bernard Sumner, bassist Peter Hook and drummer Stephen Morris — then founded New Order alongside keyboardist Gillian Gilbert.
Joy Division and New Order will be inducted together into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as part of its 2026 class.

The FBI said it is offering a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to the arrest of Oscar Sanchez-Munoz. (FBI)
The man wanted by the FBI in a string of shootings in the Kansas City, Missouri, area is believed to have been found dead, according to police.
Oscar Sanchez-Munoz, 22, allegedly shot at a car in Wyandotte County, Kansas, on June 11, authorities said, and then on June 16, he allegedly shot at five cars along Interstate 70 in Kansas City, Missouri. The June 16 shootings killed one person and wounded four, police said.
On the night of June 16, Sanchez-Munoz barricaded himself inside a house in Independence, Missouri, east of Kansas City, and engaged in a standoff with police, authorities said. In the middle of the night, the house went up in flames, and once firefighters put out the blaze and police entered the house, Sanchez-Munoz was not there, authorities said.
The manhunt for Sanchez-Munoz had been underway ever since, with the FBI offering a $25,000 reward.
On Wednesday afternoon, Sanchez-Munoz’s relatives, who were going through the damage at the house in Independence, called detectives to say they noticed the smell of decomposition in the basement, and when they moved some items aside, they saw what they thought was a body, police said.
Responding officers found a body in clothes consistent with what Sanchez-Munoz was wearing the night of the shootings, police said.
“Based on clothing description, and last known location, detectives preliminarily believe this deceased person in the residence is Sanchez-Munoz,” police said in a statement.
The medical examiner will confirm the identity and determine the cause and manner of death, police said.

Dolly Parton made a surprise appearance Wednesday at the grand opening of her new venture, a gas station and restaurant called Dolly’s Tennessean Travel Stop.
The legendary singer-songwriter, author and businesswoman, now 80, cut the ribbon in a grand opening ceremony for the travel stop and welcomed guests in a pink-and-blue fringe outfit, complete with a “Dolly” name tag and stiletto heels.
“I’m sure some of you are wondering why I wanted a truck stop. Well, I couldn’t leave it to beavers,” the “9 to 5” singer said in remarks at the ceremony, referring to popular gas station chain Buc-ee’s, whose mascot is a bucktoothed beaver named Buc-ee.
The new one-stop travel center is located off exit 22 on I-65 in Cornersville, Tennessee, about an hour south of Nashville, Tennessee, and an hour northwest of Huntsville, Alabama.
In addition to the usual fuel station, general store, coffee shop and restaurant, Dolly’s Tennessean Travel Stop also features a tour bus, mural, lounge, dog park, electric vehicle charging stations and event space.
Parton’s appearance on Wednesday comes almost two months after she canceled her Las Vegas residency amid ongoing health issues. The singer had previously postponed her Vegas shows back in September citing “health challenges” before announcing their cancellation in May this year.
In a May 4 Instagram post, Parton said she was responding well to medications but needed more time to get better and “up to stage performance level.”
“My immune system and my digestive system got all out of whack over the past couple, three years, and they’re working real hard on rebuilding [and] strengthening those, and hopefully I’ll be up to snuff again soon,” Parton said in part in a video at the time.
