Before hit ’90s shows like South Park and King of the Hill, we had Beavis and Butt-Head, the eccentric, counter-culture duo poking fun at music videos, musicians and pop culture in general.
Decades later, the hit animated series created by Mike Judge is back after a two-year hiatus. With season 11 (or season 3, if you’re counting from its 2022 reboot) out today, we’ve gathered all the info you need to stream the latest episodes online for free.
At a Glance: How to Watch the New Season of ‘Beavis and Butt-Head’ Without Cable
In season 3, our favorite counter-culture teenage icons are now older, richer than ever, and out to “buy Metallica.” After being hit a with a gold bar mid-concert, band co-founder and lead singer James Hetfield is prevented from doing the deal but the mayhem doesn’t stop there. The trailer reveals even more whacky mischief the pair get into, including becoming aliens, Butt-Head removing his braces (he falls in love with himself), and the usual inventive and gratuitous acts of violence.
Yes, the series did originally end in 2011, however, Paramount+ pumped new life into the hit series back in 2022. After its two-year hiatus, the show is back for its eleventh season and fans can stream the latest season online on the streaming service without cable.

As opposition to the $775 million acquisition of Downtown Music Holdings by Virgin Music Group heats up, Downtown CEO Pieter van Rijn says the controversial deal has attracted more attention because of the buyer’s owner, Universal Music Group (UMG), than it has for the benefits musicians would enjoy from the combination.
In an open letter obtained by Billboard, which arrived as the European Commission investigates the acquisition’s potential effect on competition, van Rijn took aim at what he called “misinformation” aimed at “undermin[ing] our longstanding and trusted client relationships….It’s disappointing to see how quickly some parts of our industry closed the door to rooms we — and others — helped build.” He added that the debate about the acquisition, announced on Dec. 16, and its impact on the independent music community “must be honest. It must be about facts, not agendas.”

Warner Music Japan CEO Takeshi Okada on the Company’s New Vision and Japanese Music Being the Next Trend: Interview
While van Rijn referred to the acquisition as a “merger” of Downtown and Virgin, a label services provider owned by UMG, European regulators are more concerned about the transaction’s potential to hurt competition for artist and label services. In July, European regulators began a four-month investigation into the acquisition after a standard preliminary review, owing to the fact that UMG is the largest record label/publisher by both annual revenue and market capitalization, and that Downtown owns a variety of companies that allow independent recording artists and songwriters to generate revenue in today’s digital-focused market, including distributors FUGA and CD Baby, publishing administrator Songtrust and rights management company AdRev.
Opposition quickly mounted after Virgin and Downtown announced the acquisition. The day after the revelation, the deal was opposed by independent music groups IMPALA, Association of Independent Music (AIM) and IMPF, a global trade body for independent music publishers. IMPALA executive chair Helen Smith called the transaction “another land grab” and urged European competition authorities “to set the standard internationally” by blocking the deal.
But van Rijn has painted the company’s acquisition by Virgin as an opportunity to better serve independent artists who need a range of services to compete in the modern global music business. He called Virgin “a business that aligned with our own, not only in its philosophy but also in the complementary services that we offered.” Downtown had been approached by other interested suitors, van Rijn said, but Virgin’s interest marked the first time Downtown encountered a potential partner “who wanted to invest in Downtown, our team, and our clients.”

Without naming names, van Rijn referenced independent music groups that “chose to overlook the clear benefits for their members” that the acquisition offers. Independent artists, he continued, need partners “to open doors and unlock the potential of their music.” He added that these artists would be better off under a combined Downtown-Virgin that could offer “more resources, greater support, more innovative technology, all while not only maintaining, but actually building on, the great service levels, platforms, and the flexibility of our current offering.”
Van Rijn’s open letter followed a similar statement by Virgin co-CEOs JT Meyers and Nat Pastor in July that explained the motivation behind the acquisition (to combine the two companies’ “unique capabilities” to create “an even more robust and flexible suite of services”) and addressed concerns about independent artists and labels’ sensitive data ending up in the hands of a UMG-owned company. “Virgin already handles — with the care and confidentiality they deserve — the sensitive client data of hundreds of partners,” they wrote. “Betraying the trust our clients have bestowed on us would be self-destructive: they would quickly, and quite rightly, end the relationship.”
In his letter, Van Rijn also acknowledged artists’ concerns about data protection and security as “natural” but insisted that “Virgin, like Downtown, operates in a culture built on trust. And, therefore, our clients can expect the same, if not expanded, industry-leading data protection and security they are used to now.”

Young Thug is finding himself in a bit of precarious situation these days. Over the past week or so, the Atlanta rapper has been dealing with leaked audio from jail phone calls and interrogations from when he was incarcerated for three years awaiting his YSL RICO trial, and some of the subject matter has led to him receiving backlash online.

Thugger seemingly addressed the vitriol that’s been coming his way this afternoon with a tweet that reads, “Bashing me only goin f— that rap community up more, I’m the blue to this fake a– game.”
Last week, Thug tweeted, “Stop trying to make me one of those boys. Death before dishonor this way kids,” and also tweeted and deleted a message that read: “They didn’t play my interrogation video in court cause I helped my brada #Ratwhere,” in regards to leaked interrogation room audio in which he allegedly mentioned Peewee Roscoe when talking to investigators about Lil Wayne‘s tour bus incident from 2015.
Roscoe then came to Thug’s defense by addressing the audio on social media. “Jeff clean as Listerine, man,” he said. “Clean as ivory soap, ya feel what I’m saying? I done the time. I did that. That’s what you supposed to do. When you go into the interrogation room, that’s what you do.”
The Gunna fanpage @Gunnaupdates on X is mainly responsible for posting the leaked audio and recently told Rolling Stone that some fans “have been sitting on these for a while now,” and that anyone can obtain public records like jail calls by making an Open Records Request with the county.
If you recall, last year a jail call between Thug and his girlfriend Mariah the Scientist made its way online, and the Cobb County Jail told Billboard the same thing, saying that “the Cobb County Sheriff’s routinely receives and fulfills open records requests of phone calls and video visitations for Jeffery Williams.”
Since Gunna decided to take an Alford Plea a few months after being arrested in connection to the YSL RICO case, Young Thug has thrown jabs online at his former collaborator once tweeting, “If u a rapper and u a rat, u gotta just go gospel twin,” and deleting a tweet telling Gunna to “stop acting like we friends on the internet.”

The L.A. stadium — which is also the home venue of the L.A. Chargers and hosting a number of big-ticket concerts this fall, including two headlining dates by Chris Brown (Sept. 13-14) — showcased dozens of menu items sold across its suites, clubs and concession stands during the tasting event, from tomahawk steaks to the stadium’s signature all-beef hot dog, which regional executive chef Robert Biebrich at Legends for SoFi Stadium says is the venue’s reigning best-seller.
“We sell about 8,000 hot dogs per game,” Biebrich tells Billboard, noting that other stadium staples like hamburgers and pizza come in second and third place on game day, followed by regional flavors at the stadium, which are sold at the stadium’s concession stands and organized by street name honoring four well-known Los Angeles neighborhoods. On display were beef empanadas and al pastor tortas sold at Olvera Street, Asian-infused fried chicken at Sawtelle, square pepperoni pizzas on San Vicente and American eats like cheeseburgers and chicken strips at the stadium’s Fairfax stand.
“We source the vast majority of our menu items locally and rely on our vendors to buy fresh from suppliers across Southern California — we are very blessed with the abundance of choices available to us,” Biebrich tells Billboard.
In the stadium’s suites and club levels, those choices included Louisiana hot link sandwiches, bacon-wrapped L.A. street dogs, hand-cut sushi rolls and breaded chicken cutlet sandwiches. Much of the menu was based on popular street food items, like BBQ-grilled sweet corn smothered in cajun butter, hot sauce and cheese, or loaded mac and cheese bowls, topped off with BBQ burnt pork ends and pickled onions. One of Biebrich’s favorite items, the Texas Twinkie Burger, borrows from a Lone Star State tradition, replacing the Hostess snack cake with a tender beef brisket and cream cheese-stuffed jalapeno pepper wrapped in bacon and slathered in smoky barbecue sauce.
Biebrich also showcased a number of specially crafted cocktails available at Rams and Chargers games, including the Mexican-themed Ultra Michelada, which is built for a Michelob Ultra beer and includes San Marzano tomatoes, ancho chiles, tamarindo, tajin and chamoy stick, or the Hail Mary Mule, which includes Ketel One Vodka and Chinola liqueur, key lime agave, Fever Tree ginger beer and is garnished with dehydrated citrus.
“We try to offer a wide selection, with items that are adventurous and daring, and those that feel a little more familiar and approachable,” Biebrich said. “The goal is that fans have a unique and memorable experience each time they visit SoFi Stadium and they feel good about the time they spent here.”
Recent music stars who have headlined SoFi include Shakira, for two dates of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour in August; BLACKPINK, for three dates of their DEADLINE tour in July; and Beyoncé, for five concerts of her Cowboy Carter Tour in April and May.
Beyond Brown’s two-night stand this month, the next non-football event on the SoFi schedule (so far) is a one-night-only show from comics Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias and Jo Koy in March 2026.

LightWire Shine In The Darkness For ‘America’s Got Talent’ Quarterfinal Spot
On Tuesday’s (Sept. 2) episode of the show, Sanchez appeared in the third quarterfinal round to deliver a heart-wrenching performance of Alex Warren’s breakout hit “Ordinary.” Wearing an oversized suit to show off her eight-month baby bump, Sanchez powered through the song, earning a raucous standing ovation by the end of her performance.
Audiences were even further impressed when judge Simon Cowell revealed that Sanchez was powering through some health complications during the number. “Seconds ago, before Jessica came out, I heard that she wasn’t feeling too good. And I said, ‘Genuinely, it’s your choice whether you want to do this or not,’” he said. “And Jessica said, ‘No, I want to do this.’ I was like, ‘You are a brave, brave person.’”
Cowell continued showering Sanchez with praise, saying that the singer had “an amazing tone” and a “glow” throughout the performance of the song that topped Billboard‘s weekly Songs of the Summer list for all 14 weeks this season. “People are going to really like you, I really believe [they will] root for you,” he said. “I am so happy after all these years, on our 20th anniversary, you’ve come back. Thank you.”
The storied singing competition judge was referring to Sanchez’s first performance on America’s Got Talent‘s very first season. The singer, who was then 10 years old, made it to the semifinals round of the competition as a wildcard contestant, but ultimately did not secure the votes to move onto the finale.
Sanchez came back to AGT for its 20th season, where she auditioned for the show singing Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things.” The judges were so impressed that Sanchez wound up earning a golden buzzer from judge Sofia Vergara, sending her immediately to the live round of the competition.
Watch Sanchez’s stirring performance of Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” above. The results of Tuesday night’s voting will be revealed on Wednesday night’s (Sept. 3) show at 8 p.m. ET on NBC.
With an announcement expected soon, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell cranked up the hype machine for the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show to 11 on Wednesday morning (Sept. 3) when he appeared on the Today Show and casually dropped the biggest name in the pop universe as a possibility.

Asked if it’s possible that Taylor Swift might do the honors on Feb. 8 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., Goodell played it coy while saying the loudest part out loud. “We would always love to have Taylor play. She is a special, special talent, and obviously she would be welcome at any time,” he said.
Asked by co-host Savannah Guthrie if a Swift-time show is in the works, Goodell said, “I can’t tell you anything about it.” When Guthrie wondered if it was a “maybe,” Goodell continued the tease, adding, “It’s a maybe.”
Swift’s name has bubbled up as a possible halftime performer in the run-up to what is typically an early September announcement for a number of reasons. The first, of course, is that she has become a staple at NFL games over the past two years thanks to her relationship with Super Bowl-winning Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, to whom she got engaged last month. The singer also has a new album coming out on Oct. 3, The Life of a Showgirl.
Whoever it is, they will have big shoes to fill after Kendrick Lamar crushed it at this year’s halftime in February. Billboard has gotten in on the speculation, with everyone from Swift to Lady Gaga, Mariah Carey, Justin Bieber, Drake, BTS, Bay area legends Green Day and Metallica and Jay-Z making our short list.
While avowed Swiftie Goodell kept it vague with Today, he added, “I’m waiting for my friend Jay-Z. It’s in his hands. I’m waiting for the smoke to come out.” Jay-Z and his company Roc Nation, have been producing the Super Bowl halftime shows since 2020. While the roster has leaned into the R&B/hip-hop vein since then, with shows by The Weeknd, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, 50 Cent, Anderson .Paak and Kendrick Lamar, Rihanna, Usher and Lamar last year, Swift’s name has perennially been in the mix as a possible performer on the biggest stage of the year.
And in her inimitable fashion, Swift has been subtly dropping Easter eggs that seem to point to a possible Santa Clara Sunday in February. In advance of the album that Swift has teased will bring back her big pop era, the singer announced the LP on the Kelce brothers’ New Heights podcast last month, noting that she learned she’d secured the rights to her master recordings just a few months before attending this year’s Super Bowl.
She also noted that she used to not pay attention to the big game growing up, though her dad was a huge NFL fan. “My relationship with sports was like, I grew up in Pennsylvania, I always heard my dad yelling at the screen watching Eagles games,” she said. “I was up in my room playing guitar, learning instruments, playing piano — I was focused on different things. I would go to sporting events so that I could sing the national anthem. I know every halftime show from the Super Bowls, but I didn’t watch the sports.”
Though her focus on the halftime show was seemingly random, she also did a deep dive into her latest obsession: sourdough bread. That was telling because the mascot for the San Francisco 49ers franchise — whose home stadium will host the game — is Sourdough Sam and the this season will end with the 60th Super Bowl, a number that just happens to match the percentage Swift used to describe her level of bread talk lately.
Swift also kept bringing up the number 47 during the pod, thanking co-host Jason Kelce for “screaming for like 47 seconds for me” and saying she’d visited “47,000” countries on her Eras Tour (actually 21). It’s worth noting that the 47th of 149 shows on the global Eras tour was, of course, July 2023 at Levi’s Stadium. Never a coincidence, as Swifties know all too well.

R&B/Hip-Hop Power Players: Billboard’s 2025 List Revealed
Odeal Is Billboard’s African Rookie of the Year
The first hit rap song of 2025 came not from Drake, Kendrick Lamar or Travis Scott, but from the 6-foot-5, tattoo-covered Ball — who now records as GELO. In January, the hooper-turned-rapper set social media ablaze with his scorching “Tweaker,” a nostalgic sonic recall to Big Tymers with an earworm of a hook that organically rose from NBA and NFL locker rooms to the Billboard charts in just two weeks.
Livestreamers serve as today’s 106 & Park, and GELO accordingly had first previewed a snippet of the thumping track during an appearance with popular streaming personality N3on in late December. “When it got posted, everybody was sending it back to me like, ‘Hey, bro, you need to start making music,’ ” Ball recalls. “I had hella music, but I’d just [keep] it to myself until I did that.”
The song’s catchy “I might swerve, bend that corner, whoa” hook took on a life of its own on social media, and “Tweaker” soundtracked a 2000s-themed skit from internet comedian Druski, filled with tall T-shirts and baggy jorts. Memes flooded X that riffed on its throwback aesthetic, ranging from fans inserting “Tweaker” on the Madden NFL 2005 soundtrack to jokingly burning a “Tweaker” CD.
Soon the full single premiered on WorldStarHipHop, and it hit streaming services on Jan. 3. “Tweaker” catapulted to a top 40 Billboard Hot 100 debut (and a No. 29 peak) with 12.4 million streams in the United States in its opening week, according to Luminate.

Labels quickly came calling and GELO wasted no time signing with Def Jam — a deal announced Jan. 13 by ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania, who reported that it was “worth as much as $13 million, with $8 million guaranteed,” while GELO retained ownership of his masters. (Def Jam declined to comment on the contract’s specifics.)
Rolling Loud California added GELO to its March festival lineup, and he gave “Tweaker” its live debut in front of 80,000 NFL fans in Detroit during the Lions’ playoff game against the Washington Commanders on Jan. 18.
“Tweaker” also yielded some impressive co-signs: GELO heard from industry vets like E-40, Tyga, Boosie Badazz and Lil Wayne, the lattermost of whom appeared on the “Tweaker” remix; GELO calls the collaboration a “perfect fit” and compares having Weezy on a track to “hooping with [Michael] Jordan.”
Even though GELO’s meteoric success came faster than he could “swerve bend that corner,” his life prepared him for the bright lights. With Lonzo leading the way as ESPN’s top-ranked high school player in California for the class of 2016, the Ball brothers grew up as basketball royalty in the Los Angeles suburb of Chino Hills. Looking back, GELO laughs at how he was signing autographs for classmates as long ago as elementary school, as the trio went on to pack high school gyms across the state.
But it’s easy to see where he gets his confidence: His father, the boisterous patriarch LaVar Ball who played collegiate basketball and had a practice squad stint in the NFL, has long promoted his sons’ NBA aspirations and his own Big Baller Brand of sports apparel. “My dad showed me how to be like that since [I was] real young,” GELO says. “So I think my mind is poised.”
Erica Hernández
Lonzo and LaMelo were drafted into the NBA in 2017 and 2020, respectively. But while GELO played collegiate hoops at UCLA and bounced from a Lithuanian league to brief tenures in training camps with the Detroit Pistons and Charlotte Hornets, he never suited up for an NBA game. Now, with a breakout hit, he wants to prove his talent goes way beyond just “Tweaker” — starting with his debut album, League of My Own, which arrived July 18. On the album, he comes out of the gate firing with the braggadocious, trunk-rattling opener “Pollaseeds,” a track targeting his opposition that interpolates Fast Life Yungstaz’ 2009 classic, “Swag Surfin’.” “I kind of wanted to reboot it a little bit and swag it out for the younger generation,” he explains.
The album’s not a complete sonic rehash of “Tweaker,” either. GELO’s experimentation took a melodic turn on “Humble Abode,” a vulnerable moment where he admits he’s not completely bulletproof. “It’s stuff that people go through every day, damn near, so I feel like [they] could relate,” he says. “It’s just a matter of putting it in a swaggy way on the beat.”
A deluxe edition of League of My Own is in the works and tentatively set for a September release. While the original album boasts a lone feature from GloRilla, GELO expects a few collaborations to land on the deluxe.
And as the chatter around GELO’s rap career, family and relationships has gotten louder, he has remained focused. “I don’t really listen to outside noise,” he says. “I’m pretty levelheaded, and I know what I’m about as a person.
“I do feel like I opened a lane for athletes in general,” he continues. “It’s probably more comfortable for them to put out music now. I’ll be telling all my homies this s–t. Bro, I could rap until I’m like 60. I feel like I have bangers for real.”
This story appears in the Aug. 30, 2025, issue of Billboard.

In 2022, Puth embarked on a series of “One Night Only” concerts that saw him debut his album Charlie live for the first time. The following year, he sold out arenas and amphitheaters in the U.S., Mexico and Canada on his The Charlie Live Experience Tour.
Beyond music, Puth starred in the six-episode series The Charlie Puth Show on the Roku Channel last year.
“Charlie’s prodigious artistic vision extends well beyond the world of music,” said UTA partner/co-head of talent Jay Gassner in a statement. “His incredible talent as a storyteller and creator opens the door to new opportunities and we’re excited to bring them to life.”
“Charlie is a global star and a remarkable live performer,” added UTA partners/co-heads of global music David Zedeck and Sam Kirby Yoh. “As he steps into a new chapter in his career, we look forward to championing his growth on the world stage.”
Puth continues to be represented by managers Mikaela Puth and Ty Stiklorius, along with business manager Josh Klein and legal rep Paul Rothenberg at Rothenberg, Mohr, Binder.
“Hosting an artist of Miranda’s caliber, just after our one-year anniversary, is a catalyst for that vision — solidifying the Ford Amphitheater’s place in the cultural fabric of Colorado Springs and setting the stage for what’s ahead,” VENU founder and CEO JW Roth tells Billboard via email. Randy Rogers, of Randy Rogers Band, will open the show.
Lambert, who just released the sultry, ’70s-inspired collaboration with Chris Stapleton, “A Song to Sing,” is not only known for Billboard Top Country Albums chart-topping projects including Revolution and Wildcard, but she’s also artist with the most Academy of Country Music overall award wins, with 33 ACM trophies. She also has the most wins for ACM female artist of the year, with nine wins. Randy Rogers Band is gearing up to release its latest EP The Going on Oct. 24.
The 8,000-capacity, open-air Ford Amphitheater opened a year ago, and has welcomed artists including Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit, Dwight Yoakam, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, OneRepublic, The Black Keys, Cage the Elephant and Godsmack. Ford Amphitheater is booked in partnership with AEG Presents.
The Sept. 28 event will benefit the VENU Arts and Culture Foundation and the Air Force Academy Athletic Corporation. The Colorado Springs area is home to the U.S. Air Force Academy.
“By supporting AFAAC, we’re not only investing in cadets, but also reinforcing Colorado Springs’ identity as a community that proudly stands behind its military and future leaders who will serve across the nation,” says Roth, who was born and raised in Colorado. “Just as the VENU Foundation invests in the next generation of artists, this event ensures we’re also giving back to the next generation of defenders and leaders.”
Upcoming shows at the Ford Amphitheater include The Red Clay Strays, Train, In This Moment and Brantley Gilbert. In June, Billboardannounced a partnership with VENU that will power industry events and spotlight disruptors in the live music space.
As Billboard has previously reported, VENU venues operate an innovative business model that allows music fans and shareholders the opportunity for fractional ownership and a chance to invest in VENU stock, which is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol VENU.
Additionally, fans can invest in upscale Luxe FireSuites. Ford Amphitheater has 130 Luxe FireSuites, which can accommodate up to eight fans per suite. Each FireSuite includes a natural gas fire pit, and space for food and drinks. Ownership of a FireSuite also includes amenities such as venue-adjacent VIP parking, a private entrance and food/beverage service. The venue’s original Luxe FireSuites’ rates began at $250,000 each.
Among VENU’s other immersive venues are The Hall at Bourbon Brothers, with venues in Georgia and Colorado. VENU has three amphitheaters set to open in 2026, with the goal of reaching 25 amphitheaters and 15 indoor entertainment complexes by 2030.

Kesha just collaborated with sustainable bag company Solgaard in celebration of her hit 2025 track “Joyride.”
The resulting collection centers around a sustainably crafted Joyride Bag for $175 and a coordinating Joyride Solarbank Boombox also for $175. The full collection is available for purchase at Solgaard.com. If you want both the speaker and the bag, that’ll run you $300. Not your ordinary bag, this mini tote features a custom fitted compartment that securely holds the accompanying Joyride Solarbank Boombox, letting the wearer bring their tunes with them on wherever life may take them, hopefully on a joyride.
If you don’t want to fit your speaker in there, the pocket also acts as a compartment to hold small tech like a Nintendo Switch or your phone. The bag is made of vegan leather with a microsuede lining, giving the accessory an overall luxe feel. To avoid a bulky look, the custom pocket can be folded flat when the speaker is not in use. The bag is also equipped with an adjustable and removable shoulder strap that allows the wearer to tailor their bag-wearing experience to their mood for the day.
“Joyride” and Kesha x Solgaard branding can be seen embossed throughout the bag’s design. The bag comes in a cheeky Tanline Beige colorway and features a striped orange, green and and red graphic throughout that is vaguley reminiscent of the 7/11 logo. Funnily enough, the idea for the collaboration was sparked following a photoshoot in a convenience store. The photos snapped and their surroundings led Kesha and Solgaard’s CEO Adrian Solgaard to dream up pieces that mix pop-art, tech innovation and luxury accessory design.
The Solarbank speaker is a bright orange with that same 7/11-esque design affixed to the front. The piece functions as a solar-powered powerbank and Bluetooth speaker, allowing you to charge up your phone and listen to music wherever you may be. You get up to 80+ hours of playtime from a full charge with no solar exposure. How cool is that? Once you do get it into the sun, however, one hour of sun gives you two hours of music. Solgaard suggests that you charge up the speaker with a USB-C ahead of use, allowing the sun’s rays to keep your tunes going throughout the day.
Tapping into both Kesha and Solgaard’s love of the environtment, every purchase from the collection will clean up 6 lbs. of ocean-bound plastic from waterways, rivers and mangroves around the world, meaning you can feel extra good about your purchase.
