After four years away, BTS is back on The Tonight Show.

BTS’ appearance on the late-night talk show will be spread out between two days: March 25 and 26 via NBC at 11:35/10:35c. The episode will air the following day on Peacock. The boy group will sit down with host Jimmy Fallon to talk about its reunion post-mandatory military service and share details about their new album. Speaking of albums, the group’s spot on the show was prompted by the release of ARIRANG on March 20, the first album the act has dropped in years.

BTS on the Tonight Show at a Glance:

BTS will also perform two songs on the talk show. The interview and first song will air on Wednesday, March 25, and the second song will air a day later, according to NBC. According to Spotify, ARIRANG has become the platform’s most streamed album in a single day in 2026 so far. The release also set a new record as the most streamed K-Pop album in Spotify history. In support of the new album, BTS will be going on an ARIRANG world tour beginning in April.

This is the first time in four years that BTS has been on the show. The group’s last Tonight Show sitdown was in 2021 as part of the show’s “BTS Takeover.” That takeover featured performances of “Butter” and “Permission to Dance.” Below, find out how to tune in to the talk show for free so you can catch BTS’ performance and interview without spending a cent.

The Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special might have already premiered, but Miley Cyrus isn’t quite yet done celebrating the momentous occasion.

The star announced via her Instagram on Wednesday (March 25) that she will be releasing “Younger You,” which was featured at the end of the special, to commemorate the milestone anniversary. The track arrives Friday (March 27).

“Celebrating Hannah Montana isn’t just honoring a show, it’s a full-circle moment for me,” Cyrus starts her caption. “HM was the beginning of the life I know now.”

The song is more than just a celebration of Hannah Montana, it’s also the “Wrecking Ball” singer’s way of showing gratitude to her fans who have been with her since she first put on the famous blonde wig 20 years ago.

“The bond my fans and I share is as rare and beautiful as this whole journey has been,” Cyrus wrote in her announcement. “I adore you all and love you deeply. This anniversary special is a gift from me to younger you, my way of saying thank you for your loyalty and for growing with me every step of the way.”

Released on Tuesday (March 24), the Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special brought Cyrus and fans back into the world of Hannah Montana to reminisce on the impact of the iconic Disney Channel series. For the celebratory program, Disney recreated parts of the Hannah Montana set for Cyrus and her parents to reunite, and invited Call Her Daddy host Alex Cooper to interview Cyrus. The special also included a performance by Cyrus, during which she sang hit songs from the show such as the theme “Best of Both Worlds” and “The Climb” for a live audience.

The U.K. festival circuit is set to welcome a new addition this summer with the arrival of Diaspora Calling!, headlined by the legendary Lauryn Hill.

The event will make its debut on British soil on Aug. 7, taking over the 65,000-capacity Milton Keynes National Bowl in England. Alongside a rare appearance from Hill, the inaugural U.K. edition of Diaspora Calling! will feature fellow Fugees founding member Wyclef Jean as well as YG Marley and Zion Marley. 

Additional acts across two stages are expected to be announced in the coming months. According to a press release, the event will also feature a street food village and other immersive art installations. 

Tickets will be available on Tuesday, March 31, at 9 a.m. GMT. Fans can sign up for event news and further ticketing information at the Diaspora Calling! U.K. website. 

Established by Hill in 2016, the first edition of the Diaspora Calling! took place at Brooklyn’s Kings Theatre in New York, with the intention of showcasing artists and musicians from Africa and the African diaspora. The performance series has since seen Hill platform Haitian art exhibitions, alongside artists including Nas, Kehlani, Noname and Little Simz.

Singer and rapper Hill first rose to prominence as a member of hip-hop group The Fugees before releasing her landmark solo album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, in 1998, which scooped five Grammys including album of the year, with the star becoming the first woman to win five or more awards in a single night. Most recently, she performed at the 2026 Grammys ceremony to pay tribute to the late D’Angelo and Roberta Flack.

Hill’s live performances have been relatively scarce in recent years, while her headline slot at Diaspora Calling! U.K. is her only confirmed British show for 2026. In summer 2024, Hill and The Fugees announced The Miseducation Anniversary Tour, a run celebrating The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill alongside the group’s 1996 LP The Score.

The U.S. leg of the tour was canceled three days before the first scheduled show in August, with Hill citing “media outlets’ penchant for sensationalism and clickbait headlines” for low ticket sales. The U.K. dates still went ahead as planned later that year, however, including a night at London’s O2 Arena.

In recent years, the Milton Keynes National Bowl has played host to Yungblud’s Bludfest all-dayer, alongside My Chemical Romance’s U.K. comeback gigs in summer 2022 and a sold-out show from drum ‘n’ bass duo Chase & Status two years later.

Jack Harlow is headed out on the road in support of his new R&B-leaning album Monica. The Louisville-bred rapper’s Live Nation-promoted North American Monica Tour is slated to kick off on August 4 at the Brooklyn Paramount in Brooklyn, N.Y. and hit Chicago, Detroit, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, Toronto, Boston, Washington, D.C., Louisville, Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco before winding down on Sept. 21 at the Fox Theater in Oakland.

Tickets for the shows will go on sale first through a CITI presale slated to open on Thursday (March 26) at 10 a.m. local time, with additional pre-sales running throughout the week ahead of the general on-sale beginning on Friday (March 27) at 10 a.m. local time; sign up for early access to presale tickets and other ticketing information here.

Harlow’s fourth studio album was recorded at New York’s legendary Electric Lady Studios and marks a pivot to a more R&B and jazz-inspired sound, with production from Aksel Arvid (PinkPantheress’s Fancy That), Jermaine Paul (Brandy, Alicia Keys), Clay Harlow, Angel “BabeTruth” Lopez (Mariah Carey, Coldplay, Justin Bieber) and Hollywood Cole (Lil Wayne, Drake, 21 Savage), as well as features from Robert Glasper, Ravyn Lenae, Omar Apollo, and rising R&B singer James Savage.

In a recent interview with The New York Times, Harlow, 28, said he scrapped his planned follow-up to 2023 Jackman album and started over with a more neo-soul-inspired sound harkening back to 1990s R&B. “I was getting to the point where I was dreading going to the studio. And I thought about, ‘what do I actually want to do? What would intrigue me?’,” Harlow told the paper. “It just struck me that I would want to do something a little more egoless. As I’m getting older, I’m having more trouble reconciling being braggadocious on record. And it’s a pillar of rap. Part of the reason I love rap music is the braggadocio of it. But I spent some time thinking, How can I lean away from that?”

The result, he said, was something more sonically softer and melodic, with no braggadocio and an attempt to be less self-indulgent and, shockingly, no rapping. “As long as it was melodic — everything had to have melody is, I guess, the best way to put it. But in shorthand, we were saying no rapping,” he explained.
