Offset has been granted probation for allegedly attacking a security guard at a Los Angeles cannabis dispensary last year.

Last Wednesday (July 15), a judge in California state court entered a so-called diversion order that postpones Offset’s misdemeanor battery prosecution for one year. If the rapper (born Kiari Cephus) complies with all requirements, including completing community service and attending an anger management program, the criminal case will be dismissed and wiped from his record.

Offset was accused of striking security guard Jim Leobardo Sanchez in the face after being asked to provide an I.D. to enter a MedMen licensed recreational dispensary in March 2025. Sanchez brought a civil assault lawsuit against Offset in November, and prosecutors in the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office leveled a misdemeanor charge in December.

The former Migos rapper has denied Sanchez’s claims, which remain pending in civil court. He pleaded not guilty to the criminal count, and he has not admitted any wrongdoing as part of last week’s probation order.

In addition to community service and anger management, the diversion program requires Offset to stay away from the MedMen location near Los Angeles International Airport, refrain from any violent behavior or threats, and make financial restitution to Sanchez. His prosecution could be reinstated if he violates any of these provisions within the next year.

Offset is set to appear in court for a progress report this November.

Reps for Offset, Sanchez and the LA City Attorney’s Office did not immediately return requests for comment on Monday (July 20).

More new music from Gracie Abrams is arriving Sunday night (July 19). After unleashing new album Daughter From Hell on Friday, the singer-songwriter announced there are two additional tracks from the DFH sessions that fans will get to hear. Though they didn’t make the cut on the standard version of the album, “Out of Nowhere” and “Love Letter” are being made available as bonus tracks.

The two songs will be up exclusively on iTunes Sunday night, and only “for a limited time,” Abrams shared in a social media post.

Her post included her personal thoughts on the songs, as well as her gratitude for those who’ve listened to Daughter From Hell and shared positive feedback. Abrams also offered a couple selfie video clips of herself giving a very short, but playfully dramatic, preview of “Out of Nowhere” and “Love Letter.”

“Hey SURPRISE,” Abrams wrote on her social media accounts on Sunday. “Daughter from Hell (Bonus Tracks) with OUT OF NOWHERE and LOVE LETTER will be available to download tonight at 6pm PT on iTunes for a limited time if you can believe it.”

She added, “I’m so moved to hear from those of you who are connecting with the record so far. Really truly your messages have made my heart grow ten sizes. Fingers crossed you enjoy these too. I personally love them very much.”

Daughter From Hell is Abrams’ third full-length studio album, which has her once again teaming up with producer/co-writer Aaron Dessner. The set, the follow-up to 2024’s The Secret of Us (which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 albums chart), was led by the single “Hit the Wall.”

After a day of wildfire smoke that choked the air and thunderstorms that flooded parts of New York City, Sunday, July 19th dawned bright, clear and beautiful, the perfect setting for an event on which all eyes around the globe would be centered: the 2026 World Cup Final.

And with Spain and Argentina contesting the first all-Spanish-language final since the inaugural 1930 event (in which Uruguay bested Argentina), one word filled the air more than any other as fans began to mass around NYC’s Penn Station to take the trains or buses to New York, New Jersey stadium for the game: Vamos!

On the way to the stadium for the biggest — and most expensive — game of this month-long World Cup, Argentinian fans were singing loudly and joyously, with a sea of Lionel Messi jerseys far out-numbering those in Spain’s traditional red, with those supporters of La Roja nearly as unanimous as their counterparts in wearing the name and number of their 19-year-old superstar Lamine Yamal, a successor to Messi at the famed club Barcelona. But after a relatively simple transit situation (a relief after repeated warnings that things could get packed and hectic) that gave way to a media credential nightmare that left many media members stranded outside for hours in the early afternoon, Billboard made it into the stadium in time to catch the closing ceremonies, headlined by Post Malone, who closed up his brief set by bringing out Swae Lee for their smash hit single “Sunflower,” before the stadium settled into a pre-match tension that lasted until kickoff.

This, however, was not an ordinary World Cup Final: the 2026 edition was to be the first ever with a halftime performance akin in some ways to the Super Bowl, with superstars like Madonna, BTS, Shakira, Burna Boy, Coldplay, Justin Bieber, and more performing in a tight-knit 11-minute set at the half. Here, Billboard brings you through TK moments you may not have seen on TV during the high-profile event.

Morgan Wallen revealed the title and release date of his next single on Saturday night (July 18), giving fans the first listen of “Been By Now.”

Wallen played the song live for the first time at his show in Baltimore, Md., at M&T Bank Stadium and revealed it’ll officially be released on Friday (July 24), as seen in videos filmed by concertgoers. He’s currently on his Still the Problem Tour, which brings him to Ann Arbor, Mich., next weekend and then wraps in Philadelphia, Pa.

Post-show, he shared a 40-second clip of the recorded version of “Been By Now” on social media.

“If it was meant to be, we’d have been by now/ We wouldn’t have to keep trying to work things out,” Wallen sings on the midtempo track that seems to be about a relationship that isn’t progressing, even though “baby, we’re a breeze when the lights go down.”

“Been By Now” will be the country star’s first new song release since his “I Can’t Love You Anymore” duet with Ella Langley, which arrived in April, and his 2025 hit album I’m the Problem, which spent a total of 13 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200; it’s still appearing in the top 10 of the all-genre chart, landing at No. 3 on this week’s ranking. I’m the Problem currently leads the Top Country Albums chart (dated July 25) for the 45th nonconsecutive week — and he’s the artist with the most weeks at No. 1 in the chart’s 62-year history.

He has yet to announce any news about an upcoming studio album.

“Been By Now” can be pre-saved on streaming services here. Preview the new song via Wallen’s post on X below.

Matty Healy of The 1975 is about to marry model Gabbriette. With wedding festivities fast approaching, the couple were captured on camera by paparazzi Friday (July 17) in the Los Angeles area as they rehearsed their ceremony. Healy and Gabbriette (real name Gabriella Bechtel), both dressed in black, practiced a romantic dip-kiss at an outdoor rehearsal location as they readied for the real moment of saying “I do.”

TMZ shared the glimpse at Healy and Gabbriette’s wedding rehearsal on Saturday. The outlet also uploaded a video of the frontman behind the wheel of a Rolls-Royce convertible, all smiles with his fiancée in the passenger seat.

“Hey, man,” said Healy with a friendly wave, humoring someone asking questions about the wedding week. “We’re not done yet. We just started.”

“We’ve got like 10 more days of celebrations,” Gabbriette said.

Earlier this week, Healy enjoyed a Matty Healy-themed bachelor bash with live entertainment from 1975 cover band 9075. The singer joined right in — as shown in footage of the real Healy happily performing on stage with faux-Healy during “The Sound,” and crowd-surfing to “Sex” — at the shindig with loved ones, including his bandmates, at his side.

The soon-to-be bride and groom’s engagement was first reported in June 2024, when Gabbriette posted a picture of a black gem on her ring finger with the caption “MARRYING THE 1975 IS VERY BRAT” — a reference to Charli xcx, who was engaged to marry The 1975’s George Daniel; they wed in 2025.

Healy’s mother, Denise Welch, confirmed the news of her eldest son’s engagement on her U.K. talk show Loose Women, sharing at the time, “I have known for a few weeks that Matty got engaged. Black diamond [ring], he had it made for her. I couldn’t be more thrilled. We couldn’t be happier — she is everything I would want in a daughter-in-law.” The 1975 star’s most public romance prior to Gabbriette was with Taylor Swift, who’s since had a headline-making wedding of her own in New York just a fortnight ahead of Healy’s nuptials in Hollywood.

The 1975’s latest major live performance was a career-spanning, headlining spot at Glastonbury 2025, a triumphant set that opened with “Happiness” from the Billboard 200 top 10 album Being Funny in a Foreign Language (2022) and closed with BFIAFL’s widely-adored “About You.”

Details on the band’s next release remain unconfirmed, though God Has Entered My Body and DOGS have both circulated as potential project titles. Healy once said they’ve made two new albums.

Healy recently lent vocals to Tiny Habits’ “Anything He Was and was spotted in studio photos with his friend Phoebe Bridgers, whose Lost Weekend album arrives Aug. 14.

Noah Kahan’s concert at Citi Field in Queens, New York, was canceled shortly before doors Saturday night (July 18). The final call was made after the stadium’s team spent the afternoon monitoring weather patterns in the New York City area, and after issuing an initial plan earlier in the evening to proceed with the show with no opening act and an adjusted set time for Kahan.

“The show tonight at Citi Field has been canceled due to inclement weather. This was a very difficult decision to make, but the first priority is always to keep everyone safe,” the venue’s latest update said on Saturday. Rain showers and thunderstorms, with the possibility of damaging wind gusts and flash flooding, were expected into the night.

“Exhausted every option to make this happen.. love you guys,” Kahan wrote in an Instagram Story, where he shared the news.

No makeup date was announced for Kahan’s July 18 concert, which was meant to be night one of a two-night stand at Citi Field. The Great Divide singer-songwriter remains on the venue’s schedule for Sunday (July 19).

Citi Field provided details on ticket refunds for the scrapped July 18 gig: “For ticket holders: Refunds are available from point of purchase. If you purchased from Ticketmaster, you will be automatically refunded. Thank you for understanding.”

Nearby Forest Hills Stadium, also located in Queens, called off Saturday night’s scheduled performance by Zeds Dead. The concert is postponed to Aug. 14, and original tickets are valid for the new date. Refunds at original point of purchase are also available.

“The weather is just being too difficult,” Zeds Dead wrote in a statement released a few hours before the show. “There’s another storm that’s supposed to move in and we can’t even build our production anyway with all the delays from the rain already. So sorry to have to do this we really were looking forward to this one for a long time. We were hopeful all yesterday and today, and thought if the winds and lightning held off we could at least have a time in the rain and it would maybe even be more magical but alas there is no way to do it now. Once again very sorry but we have to be on the side of safety here. “

The duo’s Journey of a Lifetime Tour continues in Cleveland, Ohio, on July 24.

Martin Garrix gave fans a surprise during his Tomorrowland set.

The Dutch DJ debuted his new collaboration with U2, “Fireflies,” during his headlining performance Friday (July 17) at the festival in Boom, Belgium.

For the debut, U2 guitarist The Edge joined Garrix onstage to perform the previously unheard track, while Bono‘s vocals played as part of the song.

Garrix closed out Tomorrowland’s opening day with the main stage headline set at De Schorre.

For the final song of the night, The Edge added his signature guitar work to “Fireflies,” marking the song’s live debut before its official release.

“Fireflies with @u2 out soon.. premiered at @tomorrowland,” Garrix wrote on Instagram alongside a clip of the performance.

The upcoming single is now available to pre-save on Spotify and Apple Music.

Garrix and U2 are no strangers to collaborating. They previously joined forces on “We Are the People,” the official song of the UEFA Euro 2020 tournament, which reached No. 12 on Billboard‘s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart in May 2021.

Garrix also produced U2’s “Your Song Saved My Life” for the Sing 2 soundtrack, while Bono co-wrote several Garrix songs, including “Angels for Each Other,” “Catherina” and “Weightless.”

It was unclear at press time whether “Fireflies” will appear on an upcoming studio albums from Garrix or U2.

U2 recently released “Street of Dreams,” the soaring lead single from the band’s as-yet-untitled next studio album, its first since 2017’s Songs of Experience. Due later this year, the album features “Street of Dreams,” produced by frequent collaborator Jacknife Lee.

It arrives after U2 released the surprise six-song Easter Lily EP in April, just two months after the band’s Days of Ash EP was released in February.

BTS is adding another milestone to its Spotify legacy.

On Friday (July 17), Spotify announced that the superstar group’s “NORMAL” set the record for the most-streamed K-pop music video in a single day in the platform’s history.

Related

The streaming service revealed the achievement on its official Instagram and X accounts.

The music video for “NORMAL” was released Friday and is available exclusively on Spotify for its first 48 hours.

Directed by Ukrainian filmmaker Tanu Muino, the wintry visual premiered at midnight, offering a glimpse of BTS beyond the spotlight as Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V and Jung Kook unwind in an ornate mansion and embrace life’s simple moments together.

To watch BTS’ “NORMAL” music video, Premium subscribers in beta markets can open Spotify on their TV, desktop, iOS or Android device, search for “NORMAL” by BTS, press play and tap “Switch to video.”

“NORMAL” appears on BTS’ fifth studio album, ARIRANG, and serves as the project’s second single following “SWIM.” Interscope/Capitol Records will begin promoting “NORMAL” to pop radio during the week of July 27.

“SWIM” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in April, while ARIRANG opened atop the Billboard 200. The achievements marked the superstar septet’s seventh No. 1 on each chart.

Following its March 20 release, ARIRANG became the most-streamed K-pop album in Spotify history.

BTS’ ARIRANG world tour continues with a two-night run at Stade de France in Saint-Denis, France, on July 17-18 before the group heads to MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., on July 19 to co-headline the inaugural FIFA World Cup Final Halftime Show alongside Justin Bieber, Madonna and Shakira.

On Friday night (July 17), Grupo Firme delivered the first of two performances at the GNP Seguros Stadium in Mexico City, setting a new record for a regional Mexican artist at the iconic venue (formerly known as Foro Sol). The popular Tijuana-based group, which already held the record with nine concerts, will increase their total on Saturday night (July 18) to 11 performances since their first appearance there on March 24, 2022.

The two shows are part of La Última Peda Tour, a successful trek spanning Mexico, Central America and South America, with stops in Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia and Costa Rica. In May 2025, Grupo Firme was forced to cancel a performance at La Onda Fest in Napa Valley, California, due to the visas of its members and the promoter’s team being under “administrative process” at the U.S. Embassy in Mexico, as they announced at the time.

“Faced with a lack of visas to go to the U.S., we explored other possibilities and the result has been magnificent — sold-out shows wherever we’ve performed,” the band’s manager, Isael Gutiérrez, tells Billboard Español, adding that they still haven’t received an update about their visas.

With 13 No. 1 hits on Billboard’s Regional Mexican Airplay chart — including “El Amor de su Vida” with Grupo Frontera, “El Beneficio de la Duda” and their most recent hit “Cabrón y Medio,” their first recorded with mariachi — Grupo Firme is preparing to expand into Europe, with their first visit to Spain scheduled for September. There they have four dates planned, in Valencia, Málaga, Madrid and Barcelona.

“In Spain, we’ve already sold 80% of the tickets two months before we arrive there. We are thrilled with the love people are showing us,” Gutiérrez adds, excited about the success of what initially started as an alternate strategy due to their inability to return to the United States.

On Friday, at the GNP Seguros Stadium, amidst multicolored lights and a spectacular entrance by lead vocalist Eduin Caz, the concert began with songs from their early years, such as “El Amor No Fue Pa’ Mí” from 2019. With a setlist of around 45 songs, dancers and eye-catching outfits inspired by Aztec royalty to highlight Mexican culture, the night was filled with unforgettable moments.

And special guests were also part of the show. Moy Bobadilla, a young singer being supported by the group, was the first to hit the stage. Later, established stars from the Sinaloan banda scene, such as Luis Alfonso Partida “El Yaki,” Luis Ángel “El Flaco” and Joss Favela, joined the group to perform their collaborations. In an unexpected moment, Los Ángeles de Charly — a band that rose to fame in the early 2000s with their romantic cumbias — took the stage. And Caz, a fan of their music, surprised the audience by performing in this genre.

Here are five of the most memorable moments from the night.
