Alan Jackson is launching his own festival this summer when the inaugural 5 O’Clock Somewhere Fest comes to The Palm Beaches Waterfront Commons in West Palm Beach, Fla., on June 12-13.

Ella Langley, Old Dominion and Jimmy Buffett’s Coral Reefer Band will headline the festival, which also includes performance sets from Dylan Scott, Clint Black, Shenandoah, John Anderson, Rodney Atkins, the Jimmy Buffett tribute band Jammy Buffet, and Allen Stone. Comedian Dusty Slay and SiriusXM Radio Margaritaville’s JD Spradlin will host the fest.

Jackson directly played a role in the fest’s creation and conceptualization. He shared in a statement: “I’ve gotten to enjoy so many experiences at my concerts over the years. I’m not touring anymore, but I like the idea of still being able to give people an opportunity to have a ‘Good Time’ and enjoy some great country music while they do.”

The fest, which takes inspiration from Jackson’s 2003 collaboration with Jimmy Buffet, will take place in the region Jackson filmed the song’s music video, and the area where Jackson also once had a home.

“After 15 years of working with Alan, I’ve seen how much the beach lifestyle and that ‘Five O’Clock Somewhere’ mindset mean to him,” longtime Alan Jackson Tour Manager and Peachtree Entertainment’s CEO Nathan Baugh said in a statement. “It’s not just a song — it’s how he lives. This festival is a natural extension of that. At Peachtree, we focus on creating real, memorable experiences, and this one is special because it’s rooted in Alan’s story and a place he’s always loved.”

The festival has partnered with StubHub to introduce a safe and secure fan-to-fan ticket exchange, giving fans access to sold-out ticket types and the ability to purchase verified tickets directly through the official platform if fans’ plans change. Tickets will go on sale Friday, March 27, and the festival will also feature VIP experiences such as chef-curated food and beverages, dedicated entrances, air-conditioned spaces and premium platform viewing options.

This year, Jackson will also play his “finale” concert in Nashville at Nissan Stadium on June 27. The concert will celebrate the Country Music Hall of Famer’s four decades of shaping country music and releasing enduring hits. The concert will feature performances from artists including Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Luke Combs, Riley Green, Cody Johnson, Miranda Lambert, Jon Pardi, Keith Urban, Carrie Underwood and Lee Ann Womack.

The Guggenheim in New York City is one of the most famous art museums in the world, and on the morning of Wednesday (March 25), BTS descended on the landmark to add a little performance art to its galleries ahead of the band’s Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon appearance.

Billboard was on the scene as RM, Jin, Suga, j-hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook sang and danced to two tracks from their new album, ARIRANG, which dropped earlier in March. One of them was “SWIM,” the project’s lead single, while the other was “2.0.”

There were about 150 fans invited to the top-secret performance, and no phones were allowed. The septet performed the two tracks in the Guggenheim’s striking multi-story round in the main lobby — and while RM was able to dance for “SWIM,” he sat on a stool during “2.0” as he recovers from the ankle injury he suffered shortly prior to BTS’ March 21 comeback show in Seoul.

As previously announced, the Bangtan Boys will appear on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday night for their first full-group late-night interview since reuniting. One of BTS’ Guggenheim performances from Wednesday morning will air during the episode, while the second will be shown to Fallon viewers on Thursday (March 26).

The Guggenheim showcase and Fallon interview come as BTS has been promoting ARIRANG — the group’s first full-length since 2020’s Billboard 200-topper Be — in New York City. A few days prior, the members answered ARMY questions and performed for an immersive Spotify fan event.

Check out BTS’ interview and the first of the band’s two Guggenheim performances when Fallon airs at 11:35 p.m. on NBC.

A lot of fans have Taylor Swift posters up on their walls at home, and Travis Kelce is no different — his “home” just happens to be Arrowhead Stadium, where the tight end recently returned to sign his new contract with the Kansas City Chiefs.

In a clip posted by the team on Monday (March 23), Kelce strolls through the familiar corridors of Arrowhead — his home away from home — walking by wall posters of famous faces who have previously visited the venue. One of them, of course, was a certain 14-time Grammy winner, who played two shows on her global Eras Tour trek there (with her future fiancé, who’d later lament his inability to meet her backstage afterward, in the crowd).

As the football player went past the image of his superstar fiancée standing on stage while taking in the crowd at Arrowhead, he throws up a hand to sweetly wave at her and mouths the word “Hi.”

“Home sweet home!” he then tells the camera.

The video then shows Kelce signing papers, presumably the three-year $57.7 million contract he signed to continue his 13-year career with the Chiefs. His official commitment to more time with the team comes after months of rumors that he’d be hanging up his helmet after this past season.

In a recent interview, the Grotesquerie star said that Swift was a big reason he decided to return for a 14th season. “We share the same love for what we do,” he told Pat McAfee earlier in March. “We’ve had this desire since we were kids in our selective professions.”

The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday (March 25) rejected a billion-dollar music piracy lawsuit filed by the major labels against telecom giant Cox Communications, ruling that the internet service provider cannot be held responsible for infringement by its users.

In a decision against Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment and Warner Music, the justices unanimously overturned an earlier ruling that held Cox liable for thousands of songs illegally shared by its users — a decision that led a staggering $1 billion infringement verdict in 2019.

“Countless people use the Internet for legal activities, but some use it to illegally share copyrighted works, such as songs and movies,” Justice Clarence Thomas wrote for the court. “Under our precedents, a company is not liable as a copyright infringer for merely providing a service to the general public with knowledge that it will be used by some to infringe copyrights.”

UMG, Sony and WMG teamed up to sue Cox in 2018, claiming the internet provider itself was legally responsible for enabling the digital sins of its users. The labels claimed Cox had received hundreds of thousands of notices about piracy, but had never permanently terminated a single subscriber accused of stealing music.

In December 2019, a jury issued a verdict holding Cox liable for helping users infringe more than 10,000 songs, awarding the labels more than $99,000 per song — adding up to a whopping $1 billion fine.

Before the Supreme Court, Cox argued the case “jeopardizes internet access for millions of users” by forcing ISPs to terminate users rather than risk billions in legal damages. The labels argued such fears were overblown and designed to distract from the facts of the case: “Cox made a deliberate and egregious decision to elevate its own profits over compliance with the law,” the claimed.

But in Wednesday’s ruling, the justices sided with Cox — ruling that an ISP can only be held responsible “if it intended that the provided service be used for infringement” and not merely if it was aware of certain bad actors.

“Cox neither induced its users’ infringement nor provided a service tailored to infringement,” the court wrote. “Accordingly, Cox is not contributorily liable for the infringement of Sony’s copyrights.”
