*NSYNC superfans who were squirreling away cash and wishing for a possible 30th anniversary reunion tour in 2027 might want to re-allocate those funds because member Joey Fatone says the chances of him taking the stage again with former bandmates Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Lance Bass and Chris Kirkpatrick are pretty slim.

While making the rounds this week promoting his new docuseries Boy Band Confidential, Fatone said a reunion is unlikely at the moment, even with the anniversary of the band’s 1997 self-title debut album on the horizon next year. While the group technically went on hiatus in 2002 following the Celebrity tour and have not officially broken up, Fatone said he’s constantly asked if there are any plans to get back together. “Do I see anything in the near future? No I don’t,” he told ET.

When ET‘s Nischelle Turner noted that Chasez stirred the pot again last month during a panel at the Rewind Washington convention when he noted that all of them were about to hop on a Zoom call for unspecified reasons, Fatone confirmed that all five did indeed gather for that chat. “All of us were there,” Fatone said cryptically. “Talking, just talking to each other. ‘Hey, do we see anything?’ Or anything like that? It’s like … no.”

As for whether he would want to do it, Fatone said yes, but it’s not just his call, explaining that some of the boy band’s members have young kids at home, some are also all-in, but “some of the other guys? Maybe not. I can only speak for myself.” When Turner said the “general consensus” is that Timberlake — by far the most successful solo act of the bunch — is the “holdout” on any get back, Fatone said that would seem to make sense, but at the end of the day it is a “group thing,” because they all have a little bit of doubt about whether it makes sense.

“I know it sounds crazy, but we also have the doubt of, ‘what happens if this sucks? What happens if it ain’t good?’,” he said of a fear that re-capturing their early millennium chart magic and onstage chemistry might be hard after more than 20 years apart. When Turner suggested a Coachella surprise performance as a potential vehicle for a return, Fatone reminded her that they did hit the stage together with Ariana Grande during her Coachella debut in 2019, sans Timberlake.

Fatone also noted that he still does Broadway and solo shows because he loves performing and plans to keep doing it “until the day I die. I’m ready to go! So whenever you guys are ready.”

It’s not like they never appear together. In a sweetly nostalgic post last October celebrating the 30th anniversary of their formation, all five men appeared in a video compilation in which they reflected on their deep bond with fans and each other. “30 years. ✨ October 1, 1995 feels like yesterday… and somehow a lifetime ago. Five guys chasing a dream turned into something bigger than we ever imagined,” the post began. “The music. The shows. The memories. An unbreakable bond: with each other, and with all of you. Through every high and low, your love has carried us. Forever grateful. 💙 Here’s to three decades of *NSYNC.”

From 1995 until their hiatus in 2002, *NSYNC released four albums and scored an unbeatable run of chart hits, including the 2000 Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 “It’s Gonna Be Me,” as well as the 1999 No. 2 hit “Music of My Heart” with Gloria Estefan, the No. 4 smash “Bye Bye Bye” and a pair of No. 5 singles with “Girlfriend” and “This I Promise You.”

They also reunited in 2013 for a surprise performance at that year’s MTV VMAs, then again in 2018 for a Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony, as well as to release the song “Better Place” for Timberlake’s 2023 Trolls Band Together animated film and in the studio to record “Paradise” from Timberlake’s sixth solo album, 2024’s Everything I Thought It Was.

Despite all those collaborations, though, Fatone made it sound like the chances of all five hitting the stage for a major tour is not in the cards for now. “I’ve always pushed the issue,” he told ET. “I’ll be honest, I always say, ‘Hey, why not? because I think I’m ready. I don’t think everybody else is ready yet.”

Giving credence to the saying “it’s not me, it’s you,” Taylor Momsen is beginning to think that touring with AC/DC might be a hazard to her health. The Pretty Reckless singer posted a video on Wednesday (April 8) in which she received medical treatment from a doctor in Mexico after she was bitten by a venomous spider.

“When do my superpowers kick in? That’s what I want to know,” a nonplussed Momsen says with a smile as a doctor cleans a nasty-looking bite mark on her lower right leg while another member of the medical team gives her a shot in her left arm in what looks like a green room backstage.

The brief video ends with a snippet of the old “Spider-Man, Spider-Man, does whatever a spider can” cartoon theme song.

You see, this is becoming a habit for Momsen, who revealed in the caption that this isn’t her first bite on a tour with the Australian hard rock legends. “🕷️🕷️🕷️ So it wouldn’t be an AC/DC tour if I didn’t get bit,” wrote Momsen. “This time a massive spider decided to take a chunk out of me and its venom did a number on my system so had to have the wonderful doctors in Mexico come and deliver quite the shot before the show last night…add it to the list!”

The last time Momsen toured with AC/DC in 2024, she was bitten by a bat while on the road in Spain during a performance of, no joke, “Witches Burn” from her band’s 2021 Death By Rock and Roll album. In a clip from the time, a bat landed on the singer’s thigh and she didn’t notice it at first. But after spotting some fans pointing at her she looked down and said, “There’s a f–king flying bat on my leg right now … I must really be a witch!”

A crewmember helped her remove the flying menace, but not before it sank into her leg, which sent her to a Spanish hospital, where she had to get treatment and two weeks of follow-up rabies shots. “Thanks to all the staff at the hospital who dubbed me #batgirl after seeing it on the local news that morning…more footage to come…that’s one for the books!!!!,” she wrote at the time.

She was equally chill about her latest unexpected venom incident, doubling-down on her joke from 2024, writing, “Spider woman? Batgirl? 🕷️🕷️🕷️🦇🦇🦇 WTF 😬”

Momsen has a couple days to rest before hitting the stage to warm-up for AC/DC at Estadio GNP Seguros in Mexico City on Saturday (April 11) and then again April 15. The band will then take some well-deserved time off before moving on to a European swing beginning with a June 5 show at the Rock Im Park festival in Nuremberg, Germany and then teaming back up with AC/DC in Charlotte, N.C. on July 11 for a North American summer stadium run in-between their own club shows.

Check out Momsen’s spider scene below.

Pop stardom is about the big moments. Securing one, and nailing it. Keli Holiday’s arrival at the 2025 ARIA Awards was a moment that many of us would rate as the stuff of nightmares, a phobia right up there with heights and massive, fangy spiders.

Holiday had the honors of opening the ARIAs with a performance of his viral smash “Dancing2.” Just Holiday, his hair teased like a mane, chest out, staring down the barrel of national TV cameras. Right on cue, he strutted through the industry tables at Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion, singing and cutting a path to the stage where an all-star band awaited. No worries.

Big moments, if and when they come, rarely do so with such a high degree of failure. He nailed it. Later, he nabbed an ARIA Award for best video, a fan-voted category.

In the five-plus months that have passed, Holiday has been gliding like he did at the ARIAs.

Holiday’s second studio album Capital Fiction, opened at No. 3 on the all-genres ARIA Albums Chart in February, and topped the national Australian albums tally. His tour in support of the LP got underway in March and went deep into regional Australia, visiting the capitals with a string of sellouts, and expands with his first-ever run of dates in North America, followed by more shows Down Under, and then the United Kingdom and Europe.

On April 29, Holiday has two chances of adding to his collection. He’s a first-time nominee for the APRA Music Awards, including the coveted song of the year for “Dancing2,” which took flight on TikTok, where fans clamored to its message of love, connection and positivity.

This new chapter for Keli Holiday is a “representative of love,” he tells Billboard over Zoom. “The core of it, it’s really joyous. It’s really about love. Human beings, we’re constantly craving love. We constantly hold on to love. It’s top of the rock. There is something to be said for the fact that, with all the madness going on in the world, any skerrick of sunshine we can clutch onto, whether that be through a song, or a movie, or a conversation is welcomed with a wide embrace. That’s what I represent with my shows and what I want to do it, because I really feel it, so I got to give it back.”

Holiday has been here before, but all of this is new. He’s the alter-ego of Adam Hyde, who alongside Reuben Styles is co-founder of Peking Duk, the multi-platinum, ARIA Award-winning electronic duo which has accumulated more than 400 million streams across such songs as “High,” “Take Me Over,” “Stranger” and “Fire.” The duo’s debut album, Paradise, is due out Aug. 14 and features the cut “Thrills” with Rico Nasty.

Want a job done, ask a busy person. Holiday is that person. He’s already making headway on a new album. “I’ve written the majority of the next record,” he tells Billboard. “I want to get that album as close to ready as possible before embarking on those shows. Because I have a lot of ideas coming out of me at the moment, and to not act upon them while they’re creating a little buzz within would be remiss. It’d be a disservice to the idea itself, so I’m really looking forward to that.”

And how far along is the process? “As far as the agonizing part goes, I’d say I’m about 60% now. The most important thing is the bones of it, the writing. So, I’ve really hunkered down. I think I’ve written all the songs for the record. I could be wrong.” Holiday plans to “get with some people in L.A., throw some different sonic ideas around. We’ll see where we land.”

Next stop, The Echo in Tinseltown on May 1.

For those fans about to experience Keli Holiday for the first time, he sets the scene with the “wild, sweaty, beautiful union of people getting down to a bunch of new music” on his Australian tour. “It felt so refreshing to be able to bring this show that I created around this country, and to have it received in a warm embrace. It was gorgeous. I’m still kind of humming from it.”

That confident ARIAs performance last November, and hanging out backstage with Olivia Dean and his peers, was like a gate opening for Holiday. “Buzz is definitely the word,” he recounts of the experience. “It was, like, a different kind of nervous energy. It was a real excitement. To be able to walk through the room, sing this song, meet all these wonderful people, it was just a great way to introduce Keli Holiday to Australia, in a really kind of formal way. Even though I wasn’t wearing a shirt.”

For their next musical adventure, PNAU is aiming straight for the heart — with some help from Mexico’s The Warning.

The electronic music hitmakers return with “Tu Corazón (Your Heart),” a good time crunched into three pumping minutes. It’s a piece of art years in the making, honed on multiple continents.

“Tu Corazón,” say reps for PNAU’s Nick Littlemore and Peter Mayes, is a song about opening your heart to the beauty around you, an important reminder in this ever-changing world.

PNAU were first made aware of The Warning when Littlemore’s other project, Empire of the Sun, was filming in Mexico more than a decade ago. At the time, The Warning, the Villarreal Vélez sisters Daniela (guitar, vocals, piano), Paulina (drums, vocals, piano), and Alejandra (bass guitar, backing vocals, piano), were a band on the way up, dreaming of the big stage.

After an initial meeting, the siblings headed to a recording session in PNAU’s studio in downtown Los Angeles. “Tu Corazón (Your Heart)” is part of that long-percolating collaborative process.

“Tu Corazón is a flash of ecstatic dance, coming at you from our sister city of Monterrey,” comments Littlemore. “A once storied adventure, now a booming jam – punk, love and all wild. Try as you might to sit still, I challenge you to do so. You have been warned!”

The Warning adds: “This song is about opening your heart to every beautiful thing this world has to offer through community and the people we love. We had a great time working with PNAU creating something this unique and fun! It was a very nostalgic process for us and we loved connecting with our past selves through this song. We are grateful to have been a part of this record and we love Pete and Nick very much!”

The official music video was shot in Monterrey, and can be seen below.

Forged in Sydney’s rave scene, PNAU has gone where few Australian electronic acts have ventured before: landing No. 1 hits around the globe.

An international breakthrough came when PNAU joined forces with Elton John on the Rocket Man’s 2012 remix album Good Morning to the Night. The collection went to No. 1 on the Official U.K. Albums Chart. PNAU and Elton repeated the feat for another remix, the 2021 single “Cold Heart” with Dua Lipa, and landed a bonafide global smash.

“Tu Corazón” follows The Warning’s single “Kerosene,” and a bunch of high-profile concerts and festival spots including Lollapalooza Chile, Argentina, Brazil, and a record-breaking crowd of 50,000 for their homecoming date at Monterrey. Later this year, the sister act will support YUNGBLUD on his IDOLS World Tour in the United States and United Kingdom.

“Tu Corazón (Your Heart)” comes on the heels of PNAU’s collaborations with Italian trio MEDUZA, “Rollin,” “Light Me Up” with Kungs, and a slew of remixes with the likes of including Coldplay, Parcels, Tame Impala, Diana Ross and Sophie Ellis-Bextor.

The latest incarnation of PNAU is the OG lineup. Sam Littlemore, Nick’s brother, joined in 2016 and wrapped up at the end of the last album cycle, 2024’s Hyperbolic. Billboard understands Sam contributed to the production of the new song, which was recorded before they parted ways.

To coincide with the new release, PNAU announces a 12-date Nirvana Tour of Australia’s East Coast this June and July, the winter months in these parts. Before that, the lads will debut their live show May 1 at Foro Indie Rocks! in Mexico City.

BTS‘ certainly made a splash with “SWIM,” the lead single from their seventh studio album ARIRANG. The 2026 LP was the K-pop group’s first record after they announced they would be taking an indefinite break in 2022 for the members to complete their mandatory military service.

In true BTS fashion, the new album and lead single topped the charts immediately upon release. “SWIM” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and ARIRANG did the same on the Billboard 200. Seven must be the band’s lucky number, as ARIRANG was their seventh album and seventh Billboard 200 No. 1 while “SWIM” was their seventh Hot 100 chart-topper.

Below are the lyrics to BTS’ “SWIM.”

Swim, swim
Water falling off your skin
Swim, swim
I could spend a lifetime watching you
Swim, swim
This is how it all begins
Swim, swim
I just wanna dive

Bad world
Gone away, I still wake up in this mad world
Name a place that I could breathe on this map, world
Lookin’ like a goody, goody in this bad world, bad world
Don’t know how to act, girl
I’m in the deep, tell me where the hell you at, girl?
Oh, you ain’t even gotta love me back, girl
You know that I’m never holdin’ back, girl, yeah

So easy
Don’t make it so hard
Nights like these, I just wanna get lost
Right here with the moon and the sharks
I ain’t gotta think ’bout a thing, baby, I just

Swim, swim
Water falling off your skin
Swim, swim
I could spend a lifetime watching you
Swim (swim), swim (swim)
This is how it all begins
Swim, swim
I just wanna dive
I just wanna dive

Water, water so deep
Water so deep
Take it off the ground
I ain’t never gettin’ cold feet
Yeah, you know me
Yeah, you know me
Sittin’ on the shore
Now I’m ready for the whole sea
I can feel the high waves comin’ (yeah)
Why you run away? You can run in (yeah)

You’re the only place that I wanna be, yeah

I make waves with my two fins (two fins)
Splash (woo), drip (drip)
I just wanna take it across the line
Under here, we don’t chase the time
Baby, everything can’t be so sad (so sad)
Turn my face from the land
I just wanna dive
I just wanna dive

Swim, swim
Water falling off your skin
Swim, swim
I could spend a lifetime watching you
Swim (swim), swim (swim)
Let it all begin
Swim, swim
I just wanna dive
I just wanna dive
