Laura Pausini’s Yo Canto World Tour concluded its stop in Madrid, Spain on Monday night (April 6), after starting on March 27 in Pamplona and traveling through cities like Valencia and Barcelona.
At 7:45 p.m., the lights at the Movistar Arena dimmed. The show, which lasted nearly three hours, was built around a stage setup featuring six screens and a double platform that recreated a fortress. Pausini described it as a castle where the queen was music, and she was its defender.
The setlist revolved around Yo Canto 2, the album in which she covers songs by Italian, Spanish, and Latin American singer-songwriters, combined with hits from her own discography. But the concert extended beyond the main repertoire, including duets with guests like Jeanette and Pablo López.
After closing with “Mariposa Technicolor,” Pausini addressed the audience with one of the most repeated phrases of the night: “We make love, not war. Thank you, Madrid,” while the words “Make Music Not War” appeared on the screen.
After saying goodbye and with a new outfit change, she returned to the stage, accompanied only by her pianist, for an unscripted finale. “Since it’s the last night in Spain, anyone who’s tired can leave, because I’m not going anywhere,” she said before performing several songs requested by the audience — some a cappella — including “Amores Extraños” and “En la Puerta de al Lado.”
The Yo Canto 2 tour will continue in the Latin America, starting April 10 in Uruguay and passing through Argentina, Chile, Peru, Colombia, Mexico, the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. On May 16, the tour will head to the United States and Canada, starting in Miami and ending in New York on June 6. In October, Pausini will resume the tour in Italy and other European countries with a different repertoire, focusing on the Italian edition of her covers project, Io Canto 2.
Here are the five standout moments from her stop in Madrid.

Being in a pop group is a lot of work. Aside from the endless press, appearances, performances, choreo rehearsals and travel, there’s the trickiest work of all: managing personalities and relationships in an often high-pressure situation. Currently on-hiatus KATSEYE member Manon Bannerman hinted as much in a new NYLON cover story about the international girl group that was completed before the singer announced in February that she was taking a temporary hiatus to “focus on her health and well-being.”
“Being in a group, it’s just about good communication and setting good boundaries and building a friendship, but also work relationship, and always remembering that it’s a shared goal that we have,” Manon told the magazine, which noted that remaining members Yoonchae Jeung, Sophia Laforteza, Daniela Avanzini, Lara Raj and Megan Skiendiel declined to answer additional questions about Manon’s hiatus when the news broke of her hiatus after the initial interview was completed.
“There’s six of us, so obviously not everyone’s always going to be on the same page about everything,” Manon added. As an example, she noted that during photo shoots two members might have their eye on the same outfit, leading to a tough decision about who gets to wear what. “But I think we all are at, or have been learning and are finally coming to, a point where for the group’s sake, you give and you take. You pick your battles,” she told the magazine.
KATSEYE came together in 2023 via the reality competition series The Debut: Dream Academy, in which 20 candidates were cut down to the final six-member group, who’ve gone on to release two EPs — 2024’s SIS (Soft Is Strong) and 2025’s Beautiful Chaos — with the latter launching their first two Billboard Hot 100 hits: “Gnarly” (No. 82) and “Gabriela” (No. 26).
Since their formation, the group told NYLON that they’ve tried several methods of sorting out any differences, including a majority-rules method. Though when it came to tough decisions on new songs or choreo, that approach has sometimes felt too exclusionary and potentially divisive.
“We’ve learned that if even just one person doesn’t feel good about a certain thing, we need to heavily consider and communicate about it — because it’s not about the majority enjoying it and just having the people who don’t enjoy it adjust,” said Sophia. “If we don’t feel comfortable, we don’t feel passionate. We don’t feel good about something. We need to help that person see another perspective or adjust everything overall because it really is hard to perform a song if you don’t enjoy it.”
When all is said and done, Sophia said it’s all about professionalism and mutual respect. “We’re only as strong as our weakest member,” she told the magazine. “We need to make sure that we’re all showing up for each other and all going at the same pace. We cannot leave anybody behind.”
That all-for-one approach was in evidence in the announcement of Manon’s hiatus in February, when HYBE and Geffen posted a notice on the Weverse fan community that read: “After open and thoughtful conversations together, we are sharing that Manon will be taking a temporary hiatus from group activities to focus on her health and well-being. We fully support this decision. KATSEYE remains committed to showing up for one another and for the fans who mean everything to us. The group will continue scheduled activities during this time, and we look forward to being together again when the time is right. Thank you to our EYEKONS for your continued love, patience, and understanding.”
After missing out on a run of South American shows last month, Manon is also expected to sit out the group’s performance at the Coachella Festival this weekend in Indio, Calif. on Friday (April 10) and the following weekend (April 17). At press time it was unknown if Manon will be on hand for future shows this summer, including the Governors Ball Festival on June 5 in New York, the Hinterlands Music Festival in Saint Charles, Iowa on July 30 and the 88rising Festival: Head in the Clouds in Los Angeles on Aug. 8.

David Schwimmer has some strong opinions about Ye (formerly Kanye West) and Wireless Festival, which was canceled Tuesday (April 7) after the controversial rapper was booked as this year’s headliner.

U.K. Authorities Deny Ye a Visa Following Mass Exodus of Wireless Festival Partners Over Past Antisemitic Actions
A Timeline of the Consequences Ye Has Faced for His ‘WLM’ Shirts & Antisemitic Hate Speech
In a lengthy letter posted to Instagram on Monday (April 6), the Friends star, who is Jewish, praised Pepsi, PayPal and Diageo for pulling out as sponsors of Wireless 2026 before the entire event was canceled. “It’s great to see companies with moral clarity,” Schwimmer began. “Unlike Wireless and [promoter] Festival Republic, they decided not to platform an artist who became one of the most recognizable hate-mongering bigots in the world.”
The actor went on to slam the festival for booking Ye in the first place, even after the hip-hop star spent years championing hateful anti-Jewish rhetoric before taking out a full-page Wall Street Journal ad in January apologizing for his actions and blaming his behavior on a brain injury. As Schwimmer pointed out, “Ye’s apologized before, only to retract that apology and double down on his virulent hatred of Jewish people.”
“An apology letter is just that: Words on paper,” he continued, writing that Wireless had “disgraced itself” by inviting Ye to perform. “An advertisement, generating publicity before a concert tour. It does not erase years of abuse. I believe in forgiveness, but it takes much more than this. Then again, I do not profit from his appearing at Wireless.”
The Hollywood star also name-checked Lauryn Hill and Travis Scott, who appeared on stage at Ye’s show at SoFi Stadium, as well as CeeLo Green and Don Toliver, who are featured on Ye’s new album, Bully. Calling them “artists who seem to shrug off [Ye’s] history of rabid antisemitism,” Schwimmer went on to question why other brands such as Budweiser, Beat Box Beverages, Drip Water and Big Green Coach hadn’t pulled out of Wireless upon finding out about the 2026 headliner.
“It’s fine for his famous pals to pat him on the back and say, ‘It’s all good,’” Schwimmer wrote of Ye. “But the community he has harmed most has no reason to trust his apology is authentic. If he was sincere, he would take action to repair the damage he caused.”
The actor added, “Until Ye demonstrates a commitment to building back trust — not only with the Jewish community, but with ALL the fans he left heartbroken and disappointed by his hateful rhetoric the last several years — he should not be granted a platform to perform.”
Billboard has reached out to reps for Ye and Wireless for comment.
Since the time of Schwimmer’s post, Wireless has been canceled due to the United Kingdom announcing Tuesday (April 7) that Ye is no longer allowed to enter the country. With the rapper now unable to travel to London, the annual site of the hip-hop festival, Festival Republic confirmed to Billboard that the event had been scrapped and asserted that refunds would soon be issued to all ticketholders.
“As with every Wireless Festival, multiple stakeholders were consulted in advance of booking Ye and no concerns were highlighted at the time,” the promoter continued in a statement. “Antisemitism in all its forms is abhorrent, and we recognize the real and personal impact these issues have had.”
For his part, Ye also issued a statement before the cancelation of Wireless addressing concerns over his involvement. “My only goal is to come to London and present a show of change, bringing unity, peace and love through my music,” he wrote Tuesday. “I would be grateful for the opportunity to meet with members of the Jewish community in the U.K. in person, to listen. I know words aren’t enough – I’ll have to show change through my actions.”

Tyler, The Creator is back with Converse once again, expanding his line of ever-popular 1908 Joggers.
The new offerings, which dropped Tuesday (April 7), all retail for $105 and are available to shop online at Converse and GOLF le FLEUR*. Sizing for the shoe is available for both men and women. The drop features four new colorways of the jogger, an everyday shoe originally launched for sports purposes that has transitioned into a lifestyle sneaker over the years. The shoe is just one of many collaborative silhouettes the “Big Poe” rapper has created alongside the Converse team.
These are collaborative Tyler, The Creator and Converse sneakers. This jogger style is a blend between athletic and fashion, featuring pops of teal and yellow.
This collaborative style is blue like the sea with suede paneling. Each pair of shoes comes with two laces that users can change out.
This redesigned jogger marries athleticism and fashion with a sleek and aerodynamic runner’s silhouette, accompanied by those playful pops of color. This jogger style was introduced by Converse in 1976 during the rise of recreational running. Built for both performance and casual wear, this style features a mix of fun textural suede and nylon uppers, accompanied by a wrap-around heel and wedge outsole construction that imparts a retro vibe. Adding to the fun, the shoes come with two pairs of laces for each colorway, offering the wearer endless styling possibilities. To finish off the model, GOLF le FLEUR* branding can be spotted subtly on the uppers as a nod to the rapper’s brand.
Each shoe is based on a natural setting such as the jungle, the Arctic or the deep sea. The name of each shoe is reflected in the color. Jungle features brown suede uppers, likely representing the dirt and tree bark, while pops of vibrant green represent the foliage. Arctic, one of our favorites, is an ice-cold gray with pale blue paneling, mirroring ice and snow. Sahara is yellow, for the sand in the barren desert, complemented by a bright teal hue that could be representing the mirage of a cool oasis. Finally, Deep Sea comes in shades of blue like the frothing foamy ocean blue.
Ice cold, these joggers are called Arctic. The colorway reflects its name with gray suede uppers with icy pale blue accents and bright blue laces.
The “Sucka Free” rapper expanded on this 1908 Jogger line back when he released Don’t Tap the Glass in July 2025. Similar to this drop, the shoe was transformed into interesting hues that reflect Tyler’s impeccable taste. The new silhouettes were released alongside the 1908 Naut-1, a nautical-inspired boat shoe with canvas uppers. Tyler has collaborated with the Converse on numerous occasions now, tapping GOLF le FLEUR*, his own brand, as a sort of muse. The rapper began working with the footwear brand all the way back in 2017, and their partnership has remained steadfast, with tons of loyal sneaker enthusiasts and Tyler fans flocking to each drop.

If Tumblr got rid of all of the ads, Melanie Martinez might make a comeback on the platform.
Martinez joined Billboard‘s Hannah Dailey for a new episode of In Conversation, a video series that invites the biggest names in music to speak on their creative processes, personal journeys and careers. In the interview, the “Play Date” singer and former Tumblr icon shared how much she misses being on the social media platform (“I love the format, and I love being able to create a layout. It’s such a creative platform”), who she’s listening to (Big Thief and Mitski) and her favorite artist of all time (Fiona Apple).

Martinez also opened up extensively about the process of writing her fourth studio album, Hades. Released March 27, Hades introduces listeners to the singer’s newest fantasy world. With the new universe, Martinez decided to kill off her old alter ego, Cry Baby, a character that she first introduced with the album of the same name in 2015. In Cry Baby’s place, Martinez created a new main character, Circle, whose journey listeners follow throughout Hades and who will also be the protagonist of a film Martinez is working on.
The new LP is one half of a two-part project on which Martinez is building one dystopia and one utopia. Hades, of course, is the dystopia. Though the album creates a fantasy world, the songs’ themes are inspired by real life. In the In Conversation interview, Martinez goes through the Hades tracklist and explains what from the real world influenced each song. Themes such as toxic relationship dynamics, performative allyship, feminine rage and beauty standards are all featured on the album. Martinez also pulled inspiration from the COVID-19 pandemic, the housing crisis and Hollywood’s commodification of women.
“I do think it’s important as well to try to create melodies and sonnets around important topics to open up new perspective to people,” Martinez tells Billboard.
Though the themes on the dystopian album are pulled from real life, Martinez also acknowledges that there is also so much to be grateful for in the world — hence, why she will also be releasing the utopian album.
“There’s so much beauty in the world. There’s so much to be grateful for,” she says. “Human connection is palpable and potent and juicy.”

Slayyyter earns her biggest week yet on Billboard’s charts as her new album, Wor$t Girl in America, debuts at No. 1 on the Top Dance Albums chart dated April 11.
Released March 27 via RECORDS/Columbia Records, the album also launches at No. 22 on the Billboard 200 with 27,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States in its opening week, according to Luminate. Of that sum, 16,000 were in album sales, driving a No. 7 debut on Top Album Sales.
Three songs from the set land on the Hot Dance/Pop Songs chart: “Yes Goddd” and “Crank” debut at Nos. 13 and 14, respectively, while “Dance…” reenters at No. 15.
In a March interview with Billboard, Slayyyter said she considered quitting music after making the album. “I just kept saying, ‘I’m going to go back to school after this. I’m done,’” she shared. “This is going to be my last project. I’m going to do one last rollout and give it my all and then I’m going to tell my team that I’m over doing this and shift gears, because it’s not working out. Then I rediscovered my love for making music while working on everything and ended up signing to Columbia for this project and everything has been so great. I really felt hopeless, so I think all of this music came from a place of wanting to make a project that fulfilled me, and then to move on with my life.”
Slayyyter previously reached the charts in 2023 with her second LP, Starf–ker, which hit No. 10 on Top Dance Albums and No. 46 on Top Album Sales, marking her first Billboard chart appearances.
Up next, Slayyyter is set to make her Coachella debut this weekend in Indio, Calif., followed by her first performance at Governors Ball in New York in June. Her headlining Wor$t Girl in the World Tour kicks off in September with dates planned across North America, South America and Europe.

Posted Tuesday (April 7), the video finds the septet serving up intricate, powerful choreography in a variety of dark, barren landscapes shrouded in fog and dust. At one point, the Bangtan Boys unite atop a stark red platform as masked dancers weave around them, a stony palace looming behind. Elsewhere in the clip, the members walk through a dark and windy passage as gravity-defying civilians float overhead.
“Watch this, watch this beat goin’ hooligan/ We pop out, we actin’ a fool again,” RM raps. “Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, hooligan/ Watch this, watch this beat goin’ hooligan.”
“Hooligan” is just the latest track on new album ARIRANG — which dropped in March and recently notched its second consecutive week atop the Billboard 200 — to get a music video. The boy band has also unveiled sleek visuals for Billboard Hot 100-topping lead single “SWIM” and “2.0.”
The new video comes just two days ahead of the kickoff show on BTS’ highly anticipated world tour, which is launching with three performances at Goyang Stadium in South Korea. The trek is scheduled to run through March of next year and will take the members through cities in North America, Latin America, Europe, Australia and other parts of Asia, performing numbers from the new album — including a hidden track produced by SUGA, as teased by RM in a recent Weverse livestream.

Among the indie-leaning highlights are Stephen Fretwell, who will deliver a rare performance, alongside Dev Hynes (also known as Blood Orange), Orlando Weeks, Nilüfer Yanya, Bar Italia and Warpaint. Newer acts across the lineup include Bristol-based duo Getdown Services and in-demand Australian DJ and producer Ninajarichi.
The lineup also extends to jazz, featuring Kamasi Washington and Mulatu Astatke, alongside contemporary U.K. figures such as Yussef Dayes and Shabaka Hutchings.
Elsewhere on the bill, experimental pop acts Erika de Casier and Fousheé join ambient and electronic names such as Jon Hopkins, Beverly Glenn-Copeland and LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy, the latter being a key influence for Styles’ recent fourth LP Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally.
