BIA shares what her prep process was for her first solo set at Coachella 2026, bringing out OhGeesy & Denzel Curry, and what inspired her to do the “WE ON GO (RAGE MIX).”

Offset has returned to the stage for the first time since being shot in Florida.

On Saturday (April 11), the 34-year-old Migos rapper was rolled onto the stage in a wheelchair during his appearance at the University of Arkansas’s Rowfest.

Footage from the concert shows Offset — who was released from the hospital after being shot outside the Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood, Florida, on April 6 — performing on what appears to be an outdoor stage surrounded by energetic college students.

“REAL LOVE,” Offset captioned an Instagram photo gallery from the event.

The carousel included clips of the Atlanta rapper being wheeled onto the stage, as well as photos of him posing in a red shirt, sunglasses, a hat and a skeleton mask.

Offset was shot in the valet area of the Hard Rock Casino following an altercation. He was later transported to a nearby hospital, where he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

Lil Tjay was later arrested on a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge in connection with the incident and posted a $500 bond on April 7. After his release, Lil Tjay gave an interview in which he called Offset a “rat” and recounted the alleged shooting.

“The last thing I seen was Offset looking at me like this, ‘Yo, that n—a shot me. That n—a shot me.’ La la la. N—a is a rat. N—a is a rat. I don’t do no damn fighting,” he said, before being asked if he was the one who shot Offset. “I didn’t do no damn fighting. Did I shoot Offset? That s–t is crazy.”

During the Rowfest performance, fans in the audience were seen holding up phones displaying the message “F—k Lil Tjay.”

Offset’s next scheduled performance is set for May 9 at the Xperience Live Event Center in Orlando, Florida, according to his website.

No Doubt guitarist Tom Dumont is sharing a health update with fans.

On Saturday (April 11), the 58-year-old musician posted a video on Instagram revealing that he has been diagnosed with early onset Parkinson’s disease.

“A number of years ago I was experiencing a number of symptoms,” Dumont said. “I went to my doctor, I went to a neurologist, did a whole bunch of tests, and I was diagnosed with early onset Parkinson’s disease. It’s been a struggle, it’s a struggle every day.”

Dumont, who joined No Doubt in 1988, said in his message that he has spent recent months preparing for the ska-pop group’s upcoming residency at Las Vegas’ Sphere, which launches on May 6.

“The last couple months, getting ready for the No Doubt Sphere shows, it’s been very fun,” the guitarist said. “Looking through old footage and looking at old photographs and relearning old songs and rehearsing and creating all the video stuff for the Sphere. It’s kind of made me think about how grateful I am for the life I’ve gotten to lead, as a musician all these years. It’s thanks for our families and our friends and our listeners and you and everyone who’s come to our shows over the years.”

Despite his diagnosis, Dumont confirmed in the clip that he will still be taking part in No Doubt’s run at the MSG-owned 17,600-capacity venue. The group currently has dates scheduled through mid-June at the Sphere.

The guitarist also said he plans to share another video explaining his diagnosis and the symptoms he is experiencing in more detail.

“The good news is I can still play music, I can still play guitar,” Dumont said. “I’ve been doing really well. I’ve just been very inspired by other people who have come out to talk about their health issues on social media and that sort of thing. I think it helps erase some of the stigma and it raises awareness obviously, and awareness is really important for prevention and for research.”

Early onset Parkinson’s disease is a progressive nervous system disorder that affects movement, cognition and mood, according to the Mayo Clinic. While there are a number of treatments and lifestyle changes that can help ease Parkinson’s symptoms, there is currently no cure for the disease, according to the American Parkinson Disease Association.

He ended the video by saying, “I’m really excited about the shows, can’t wait to see everybody.”

Dumont’s No Doubt bandmates also showed their support in the comments on the post. Drummer Adrian Young wrote, “My friend, bandmate, and hero……I love you brother,” while bassist Tony Kanal added, “Love you beyond words my friend. Can’t wait to get on stage with you again.”

Asha Bhosle, one of India’s most versatile Bollywood singers whose performances shaped the country’s musical memory and modern cinema, has died. She was 92.

The legendary singer across genres died Sunday (April 12) of multiple organ failure at Breach Candy Hospital in Mumbai, Pratit Samdani, a physician at the hospital said. Her son, Anand Bhosle, told reporters that her last rites will be performed on Monday.

Asha was admitted at the hospital on late Saturday with a chest infection and exhaustion, her granddaughter Zanai Bhosle said in a social media post.

Asha’s timeless voice resonated across a film-obsessed India for nearly eight decades, recorded on about 12,000 songs. She boldly embraced cabaret and Western-influenced melodies to forge a distinct musical identity that stood uniquely apart from her sister, Lata Mangeshkar, herself a legendary voice revered as the “Melody Queen.”

Asha’s death was widely condoled.

“I am deeply saddened” by her passing, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in a social media post.

“Her unique musical journey spanning decades has enriched our cultural heritage and touched the hearts of countless people around the world,” Modi said. “From soulful melodies to spirited compositions, her voice carried a timeless brilliance.”

Born on Sept. 8, 1933, Asha Bhosle was initiated into music by her father Dinanath Mangeshkar, who was also a trained singer. All her four siblings became accomplished singers and musicians.

Asha’s first marriage, in 1949, ended in separation in 1960. Her second marriage was to iconic music composer R.D. Burman in 1980. She is survived by a son and grandchildren.

Anitta lit up Studio 8H during her Saturday Night Live debut.

The Brazilian superstar appeared as a first-time musical guest on the late-night sketch show on April 11, alongside host Colman Domingo.

Anitta, born Larissa de Macedo Machado, delivered two electrifying performances from her upcoming album Equilibrium, due April 16 through Republic Records.

For her first performance, the Rio de Janeiro native brought a striking visual to her newly released Shakira collaboration, “Choka Choka.” Dressed in a form-fitting brown ensemble and flanked by similarly styled dancers, she powered through the pulsating track amid flashing lights and a live backing band. When Shakira’s vocals kicked in, Anitta flashed a smile and kept the momentum going.

The singer-songwriter returned later in the show for an atmospheric performance of the moody track “Várias Quejas,” which translates to “Several Complaints.” Now dressed in a beautiful purple dress against a lush, greenery-filled stage design, Anitta delivered an emotionally charged rendition of the track, moving sensually with the groove of the live band.

Anitta has long been a trailblazing force in bringing Brazilian music to the global stage. From her viral reggaetón hit “Envolver” — which reached No. 3 on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart in 2022 — to her standout performances at festivals like Coachella, she has continued to expand her international reach as one of Brazil’s most prominent musical exports.

The Grammy-nominated artist recently released her latest single, “Pinterest,” an acoustic bossa nova–inspired track infused with her signature pop flair. Issued in both Spanish and Portuguese versions, the song highlights her versatility and serves as part of her new album, Equilibrium.

The upcoming project follows 2024’s Funk Generation, which earned a nomination for best Latin pop album at the 2025 Grammy Awards.

At long last, Euphoria season three is finally here.

It’s been four years since season two wrapped, leaving fans on the edge of their seats to see what’s next for main character Rue, played by Zendaya, and the accompanying colorful cast of characters seen post-college set in a timeline five years after the events of season two. Season three of Euphoria is set to premiere Sunday, April 12, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on HBO.

It’s been a while since viewers last caught up with all the happenings of Euphoria, so it’s understandable if you don’t remember what went down. In the finale episode of season two, Nate, played by Jacob Elordi, turned his father in, Ashtray died during a police raid, Fezco, played by Angus Cloud, was shot and Rue found stability in her sobriety. Cassie, played by Sydney Sweeney, had a major breakdown, spiraling due to a secret, toxic relationship with her best friend Maddy’s ex-boyfriend, Nate. Maddy is portrayed by Alexa Demie.

How to Watch Season Three of Euphoria, at a Glance:

While little is known about season three, it seems Rue is working to pay off debt to dealer Laurie, played by Martha Kelly, in Mexico. Cassie and Nate are together and living in the suburbs, and Jules is in art school. Maddy is seemingly working in Hollywood. Rosalia will also make an appearance in the new season as a character named Magick.

Here’s how you can tune into the new season of Euphoria for free. As previously mentioned, the show will premiere Sunday, April 12, at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

After the first month, users will pay $169.99 monthly. This package includes HBO, along with 185+ channels and everything in DIRECTV’s ULTIMATE package.

This subscription gives users access to everything in Philo’s Essentials plan, 70+ must‑have live TV channels, 75,000+ on‑demand titles and a year of unlimited DVR, along with access to HBO Max’s Basic plan with ads. This access to HBO will give you the ability to stream Euphoria. In short, this plan gives you access to two streaming libraries, saving users around $17 since you’re not buying subscriptions separately. Philo also offers users a seven-day free trial, so you can test out the bundle before deciding to subscribe.

Disney+, Hulu, HBO Max Bundle

If you’re looking to watch the show while saving some cash in the process, we’d also recommend watching Euphoria via Hulu’s Disney+ and HBO Max bundle. The bundle includes all three streaming services with ads for $19.99 a month or $32.99 a month without ads. Whichever tier you choose, you’ll be able to tune into Euphoria via HBO Max, while saving money because this plan is miles cheaper than just subscribing to each streamer separately.

You can also watch the new season of Euphoria via Prime Video.

Once you’ve secured your membership, you’ll gain access to Prime Video, and add on HBO Max to start streaming past and present Euphoria episodes.

More About Euphoria

The music of Euphoria is just as prominent as the storyline. Most of the music you hear from the show comes from Labrinth. The producer has been working with Euphoria and its creator, Sam Levinson, since the show’s beginning in 2019, composing, producing and sometimes singing on all of the songs on the soundtracks for seasons one and two. “I’m Tired” from the second season, which features leading lady Zendaya on vocals, reached No. 53 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The musician doesn’t seem to be on good terms with HBO or the show at the moment, given an Instagram Story Labrinth posted March 13, where he stated, “I’M DONE WITH THIS INDUSTRY. F–K COLUMBIA. DOUBLE F–K EUPHORIA.” He concluded, “I’M OUT. THANK YOU AND GOOD NIGHT X.” With that in mind, it looks like we’ll have to watch season three to see if Labrinth will be lending his musical talents once again.

Over the years, Justin Bieber has become a Coachella regular, both as an attendee and surprise performer. At the fest’s 2024 edition, he popped out as a guest with Tems and Wizkid to perform their hit “Essence,” and in 2019 dropped in on Ariana Grande’s headlining set to perform “Sorry” and tease new music, telling the crowd he had to get his “swag back” (major spoiler alert for those who clocked it).

But tonight, the only person Bieber had to show up for was himself. And he did just that.

Leading up to his headlining set on Saturday night (April 11), the pop superstar delivered two intimate shows at famed West Hollywood venues, The Roxy and the Troubadour. Both sets were filled exclusively with SWAG and SWAG II tracks, not only helping Bieber get a feel for the new material live but also – and perhaps more importantly – bringing him back to the stage for the first time in four years.

Now, the desert is a different type of stage entirely, especially compared to 500-capacity venues, but Bieber didn’t treat it as such. Instead, he managed to make a polo field of strangers feel like a late-night hang among close friends. 

The set design was minimal, featuring only a fluid, cocoon-like structure on which Bieber could walk around, lay down and at times even shrink into — equal parts playground and safe space. His only prop: a laptop (but more on that later). 

Bieber started strong with the boundary-setting “All I Can Take,” which also opens SWAG and serves the same purpose here: to remind himself and his fans that he will and always has given all that he can at any given moment. And it hasn’t been easy.

While Bieber openly chronicles such ups and downs across SWAG and SWAG II, hearing these albums live en masse crystallized their message. Together, they are a testament to his near two-decades of working out his identity, faith and purpose in the public eye. So much so that he spent the first 50 minutes of his set in the swagverse (save for a brief swerve into “Stay” featuring a surprise appearance from The Kid Laroi). Early set standouts included “Speed Demon” about keeping a tight inner circle and “getting better by the second” for it; “Go Baby,” his ode to wife and mogul Hailey Bieber; and “Walking Away,” his commitment to their family.

Next up: an acoustic portion, with Bieber seated in the center of an extended walkway accompanied by Carter Lang and Dylan Wiggins. The trio performed songs including “Glory Voice Memo,” “Zuma House” and an emotional and extended “Everything Hallelujah” with Bieber including the new line, “Coachalla, hallelujah.” (Tears coated his eyes when he sang, “Hailey, baby, hallelujah/ Baby Jack, hallelujah.”)

It was a quiet yet overwhelming moment of gratitude, and proved that Bieber’s biggest strength – in addition to being one of the greatest and perhaps most effortless vocalists of this generation – lies in those softer moments, when he wields his star power to make thousands of fans fall silent to hear his prayers. 

“Tonight is such a special night,” Bieber said to the crowd, concluding the acoustic section. “But I feel like we gotta take you guys on a bit of a journey…” he continued. And oh baby, did he. 

For the next 25 minutes, Bieber essentially embodied a millennial iPad kid – meaning, he sat at his laptop on YouTube. Before inevitably falling down an internet hole, pulling up once-viral clips such as “Deez Nuts” and “Double Rainbow” (you either know ‘em or you don’t), he dove into the archive. He played clip after clip of his greatest career-launching hits, singing along to snippets of “Baby, “That Should Be Me” and “Never Say Never,” among others, as their music videos filled the screen behind him. Lil Bieber then threw it all the way back to Baby Bieber, playing the video that launched his career: his famous “With You” cover.

It was a clever and authentic (albeit, time-consuming) way into his past, a reclaiming that celebrates the little kid he was while still aligning with the man he is today. Plus, it was perhaps the most efficient way to power through 12 songs that, truthfully, may have otherwise felt out of place in the set – even to those who don’t want to admit it. 

But most of all, it was an oddly humanizing moment for someone of Bieber’s stature (especially when he pulled up clips of his younger self walking into a glass door or falling through a hole on stage). Underneath it all, there was an unspoken understanding of, “we’re good here” — like a long-awaited release. He revisited his roots, ran through the hits (including “Sorry” and “Where Are Ü Now) and poked fun at himself – like so many others have before. Only now, he’s in control – and owning it. Just look at his festival merchandise. 

Is it clocking to you yet?

He filled his final moments with “Yukon,” “Devotion” featuring Dijon, “I Think You’re Special” with Tems (followed by “Essence,” for which Wizkid also joined) and finally, concluding with his latest hit, “Daisies,” spotlighting Mk.gee on guitar.

For fans, Bieberchella may have been a celebration of his career thus far. But for Bieber, it seemed to be more about celebrating his hard-earned and much-deserved peace — the reward at the end of a long road that has required Bieber to believe in himself every step of the way. Even, or perhaps especially, when others were quick to count him out.

And now, he’s made it perfectly clear that there’s nothing more important than protecting that peace — for himself, for his family and for his creativity. And that’s exactly the kind of business worth standing on.

Saturday (Apr. 11) at Coachella was all about Justin Bieber‘s long-anticipated headlining performance, as fans swarmed the fest in his merch, including “My mama don’t like you and she likes everyone” and “Standing on business” hoodies. The excitement spread to the performers, many of whom shouted out Bieber and his upcoming performance, and at least one of whom actually covered an old Bieber song.

But as attendees waited for The Bieb’s first-ever Coachella headlining performance — for which he was reportedly paid a record fee — there was a wide array of other artists also putting their imprint on the festival’s second day.

It was a particularly good day for legacy alt-rockers, with legends like Trent Reznor, David Byrne, Jack White and Billy Corgan all showing up for either their own solo shows, debuting new collaborative projects or simply coming on as a newer alt-rocker’s special guest. (One other all-time great alternative band was also featured in its own art instillation, which made for a great escape from the heat.) But pop was also once again ably represented, with a couple still-rising hitmakers possibly making the case for even bigger looks the next time they’re on the lineup, and other such artists from around the world also proving their impact translates stateside.

It was generally a more temperate and disaster-free day than Friday, with attendees still buzzing about Anyma’s canceled set from the day before. Here are 10 of our staffers’ picks for the most memorable moments from the second day of Coachella 2026.

Sabrina Carpenter has addressed online chatter regarding her reaction to a loud, high-pitched cheer from the crowd during her Coachella performance Friday night (April 10).

The pop star seemingly wasn’t aware that it was the trilling vocal sound known as a Zaghrouta, a chant common to various cultures that’s meant to honor and celebrate. (Music fans might recall Shakira expressed herself this way amid her 2020 Super Bowl halftime show, while wagging her tongue at the camera ahead of singing “Hips Don’t Lie.” Shakira, who is half Colombian and half Lebanese, was paying homage to her Middle Eastern roots.)

During the Coachella livestream and in video recordings circulating the internet of Carpenter on stage Friday in Indio, Calif., the Man’s Best Friend singer was seen sitting at the piano with a confused expression on her face upon hearing the sound, and heard saying, “I don’t like it.”

When someone in the crowd loudly called out, “It’s my culture!” Carpenter retorted, “That’s your culture, yodeling?” before adding, “Is this Burning Man? What’s going on? This is weird.”

On Saturday, Carpenter followed up on the comments she’d made on stage.

“my apologies i didn’t see this person with my eyes and couldn’t hear clearly,” Carpenter wrote in reply to a post on X that accused the artist of reacting in a way that was “insensitive and Islamophobic.”

The pop star continued: “my reaction was pure confusion, sarcasm and not ill intended.”

“could have handled it better!” she said. “now i know what a Zaghrouta is! I welcome all cheers and yodels from here on out.”

A Zaghrouta is often used by women in the Middle East and North Africa as a way to express joy, and — as explained by the educational resource Arab America — is “best described in English as ‘ululation.’ It is a form of a long, wavering, high-pitched vocal sound representing trills of joy. It is produced by emitting a high-pitched loud voice accompanied by a rapid back and forth movement of the tongue.” 

Carpenter headlined night one of the first weekend of Coachella 2026 on Friday. The lead slot comes just two years after the her debut performance at the annual festival — the time when she accurately predicted, “Coachella, see you back here when I headline” in an ad-libbed lyrical outro to her song “Nonsense.” Since then, she’s released two Billboard 200 No. 1 albums, 2024’s Short n’ Sweet and 2025’s Man’s Best Friend.
