Regardless of whether you prefer ready-made or DIY costumes, it’s always fun to dress up for Halloween! But when it comes to finding that perfect costume, it all depends on what makes you comfortable.

Face masks, for example, have been the norm for more than two years, so you might feel better wearing a Halloween mask instead of going all out on a costume. If so, horror icons like Michael Myers, Jason, Ghostface from Scream, and even Squid Games masks are good options that won’t cost you very much money.

Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale is excited to be touring in support of a new album he’s genuinely proud of — but it’s a tough time to be on the road.

“This year has been equally as disastrous for me as the other two years I didn’t tour,” Rossdale tells Billboard‘s Behind the Setlist podcast. After six weeks in Australia and another six weeks in Europe, Bush joined Alice in Chains and Breaking Benjamin for a 30-city tour across North America that wrapped up Oct. 8 at the Xfinity Center in Mansfield, Mass. As an opening act with a new single to support, Rossdale likens Bush to “a quintessential baby band” rather than a veteran act that gets more than 3 million monthly Spotify listeners. 

Rossdale’s need to promote a new album and reacquaint with fans has run into the harsh realities of the post-pandemic world: a glut of bands rushed back to touring in 2022, inflation has reached a 40-year high and equipment is in short supply. “Rooms are more expensive. Buses are more expensive. What about the f—ing gas companies? OK, hey, there’s a war going on. So sorry, but we have to hike prices up or $8 a gallon in L.A., right?” he says sarcastically.

Rossdale pauses and changes to an optimistic tone. “But creatively, we’re on a high,” he says. Bush’s ninth studio album, The Art of Survival, released Oct. 7, finds Rossdale and company full of bombast, huge guitars and memorable hooks. “I think this record is fire. And thank God it’s a good record. Imagine doing all this and having a mediocre record!”

Rossdale and Bush hit it big in 1994 with Sixteen Stone, one of the most successful albums of the grunge era that has been certified six-times platinum in the U.S. on the strength of such tracks as “Everything Zen,” “Glycerine,” “Comedown” and “Machinehead.” Sixteen Stone accounts for about half the songs in a typical set on the recent tour. “It feels mean-spirited to not play those songs,” he says. The balance of the set are tracks from Bush’s 2020 album The Kingdom, and the first single from The Art of Survival, “More Than Machines.” Other songs made occasional appearances, such as “The Sound of Winter” from 2011’s The Sea of Memories and “The Chemicals Between Us” from 1999’s The Science of Things.

Bush has gone through cycles over the last three decades, and Rossdale is realistic about the band’s position. “There are times I’ve reaped the benefits of this band, and there are times I’ve laid the groundwork so that the band continues,” he says. “It’s just the hard reality of life. I feel like I never want to discuss the business, but it’s good for people to know that we’re truthfully in it together, and I’m just planting seeds.”

At times acerbic (when talking about corporate greed) and passionate (when talking about the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe vs. Wade that inspired the song “More Than Machines”), Rossdale comes off as more grateful than anything else. “I’m living like everyone else: just day to day, getting through it as best I can, and appreciating that I’m damn lucky to be alive and have this great record.”

Mac Miller‘s talent lives on, as the late rapper is featured on Robert Glasper‘s newest track, “Therapy, Pt. 2.”

“Give an inch, they take a mile, take a mile, I’ll take a acre/I’m a, alien communicator, f—ing up the human nature/Projectile vomit on a song, the fluid nasty, uh,” Miller raps on the sequel to Glasper’s 2014 song of the same name.

The song is “product of the friendship the two shared and perfectly encapsulates the musical gifts of both artists,” according to Miller’s estate, per Rolling Stone. “Anyone that followed Malcolm’s career closely is already aware of the respect he held for Robert’s work.”

“It was such an honor to have been able to do this joint with my bro @macmiller before he left us.. may his legacy live on,” Glasper wrote on Instagram celebrating the new track.

Miller passed away at age 26 on Sept. 7, 2018 from an accidental overdose of fentanyl, cocaine and alcohol, according to the toxicology report released by the Los Angeles County Coroner’s office. 

Listen to “Therapy, Pt. 2,” off of Glasper’s Black Radio III: Supreme Edition album out on Friday (Oct. 14).

With their triumphant performance Saturday night (Oct. 8) in New York City, Wisin & Yandel displayed their formidable trajectory. Although they became reggaeton fixtures over two decades ago — including in the Big Apple, with performances in iconic clubs like Club Exit and Copacabana for the Latin American diaspora — their Madison Square Garden gig showcased their undisputed stature as legends of the genre. 

Clad in Mad Max-esque gear, the Puerto Rican pair appeared onstage and enthralled for about two hours. Fresh off releasing their tenth — and perhaps final — album together, La Última Misión (The Last Mission), Wisin & Yandel performed a mix of classics and new songs from their latest release. Their high energy was felt on a thousand, complete with riveting pyrotechnic effects, captivating back-up dancers, and a set of costume changes that brought more eye candy to the crowd.  

The dynamic duo kicked off their tour in Miami’s FX Arena on Sept. 30, the same day of their album release. They will set foot in major North American cities like Toronto, Houston, Las Vegas, Ontario and Los Angeles. And, in December, Wisin & Yandel are poised to break their own record with a series of 14 homecoming gigs at Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot, belovedly known as El Choli to locals. That also includes a performance on New Year’s Eve, the first time ever the iconic venue holds a show on said date. 

Here are five things that stood out at the Wisin & Yandel MSG show. 

Their Apocalyptic Style Is Reinforced With Riveting Pyrotechnic Effects 

Wisin & Yandel arrived on stage dressed in Mad Max-esque combative gear, with Wisin in all black, and Yandel in off-white combative attire. There were the pyrotechnic effects in full force to boot, blazing between the fans and performers, and against a Jumbotron that showed a collage of dystopian, Fast & Furious-type visuals with plenty of explosions. A costume change later, the Puerto Rican duo fired up in a shiny, fire-engine red get-up as they continued to captivate fans for nearly two hours. 

Latin Pride Is on Full Display

Doing a quick 360, one saw plenty of Latin American flags lofted throughout. Although New York City is one of the most racially and ethnically diverse places in the U.S., there’s no denying that Wisin & Yandel will keep representing Latin pride throughout their next tour stops. “¿Dónde está mi gente Latina?” or “Where are my Latin people!?” will always be a signature call-out in reggaeton. 

Nostalgia Is a Significant Factor 

Although fresh off releasing a brand-new album, their MSG set was packed with classic bangers. Opening with 2007’s combustible “Ahora Es,” their explosive energy inspired a gigantic throwdown, with concert-goers dancing all around. Whether standing on their seats, thrusting with their beas or moving towards the stair aisles for more space to gyrate, one couldn’t help but burst out with lots of motion, especially when one recalls the yesteryears. The pair spanned through their hits since their chart-topping 2000 album, Los Reyes del Nuevo Milenio, and when they nearly wrapped up with their penultimate number “Rakatá,” all hell broke loose. 

“You don’t know how many things are going through my mind right now,” said Wisin in Spanish. “I want to thank all of you for so many years of love and affection. There are many people here who have been fans of Wisin & Yandel for more than 20 years.” 

Calling Out All the Single Ladies 

Let’s be real, no old school or modern day reggaeton show would be complete without the frequent single-lady call outs. “Where are the Dominican ladies?!” Wisin often shouted in Spanish. The genre first came to notoriety for its lyrical raunch, a quality that has remained at the core of reggaeton. The affection is reciprocated, especially when femininity and feminism have evolved in the last two decades. “Where are the women who are in charge of their household?!” the group further shouts. “Where are the women who like to dance reggaeton?!” (Never forget “Si no estás bailando con ella, ¡salte!”, lyrics from “Rakatá,” “Sexy Movimiento” or “solo para mujeres” songs.) Couples were embraced too, as the kiss-cam went around shooting affectionate pairs. 

La Última Misión Tour Is Wisin & Yandel’s Last Stint Together — For Now 

New songs from La Última Misión were received with lots of excitement, especially since it marks the revered group’s legendary run as a formidable act of reggaeton. They’ve continued to churn out massive hits — like their recent single “Besos Moja2,” featuring Rosalía, which was highly praised. Because they killed it on stage and performed loads of worthy chart-toppers, and because Wisin & Yandel as a team will come to an end, this is why La Última Misión Tour is one not to miss.
