Adam Levine finally got his country moment.

During Monday night’s Blind Auditions episode of The Voice, Hunter Jordan’s performance of Billy Currington’s “Let Me Down Easy” sparked a Triple Turn from Levine, Kelly Clarkson and John Legend — setting off one of the night’s most competitive coach battles.

For Levine, the stakes felt personal. The Maroon 5 frontman has long joked about his inability to land country artists on the show, and he leaned into that history in his pitch to Jordan.

Framing himself as the unexpected choice, Levine encouraged the singer to “break the mold” and resist the obvious country lane, arguing that his smooth, controlled power and effortless delivery signaled broader crossover potential.

Clarkson countered by pointing to her own country credentials and versatility across genres, while Legend emphasized the fluid boundaries between soul, R&B and country, highlighting his own collaborations within the format. But in the end, Jordan chose to “blaze a path” with Levine, handing him one of the night’s most significant wins and adding another Triple Turn artist to his team.

Jordan’s audition capped an episode that saw multiple coaches jockeying for position in the ongoing Triple Turn competition — a new Season 29 twist that rewards the coach who secures the most three-chair artists with a Super Steal advantage in the Battle Rounds.

Earlier in the night, JW Griffin opened with “Long Haired Country Boy,” earning a Triple Turn before ultimately joining Clarkson’s team.

Mike Steele also secured a Triple Turn with his rendition of Giveon’s “For Tonight,” choosing Legend after a debate over artistic identity versus predictability.

Other standout moments included Tia Durant’s soulful take on “Midnight Train to Georgia,” which landed her on Team Kelly, and Jaali Boyd’s performance of “No Air,” which prompted a two-chair battle between Clarkson and Levine before Boyd opted for Team Adam.

Legend added country singer Kendra Remedios as his sole chair turn of the night, while Adi Arora’s falsetto-heavy take on Bruno Mars’ “It Will Rain” further strengthened Team Legend’s roster. Levine rounded out his team additions with Bijou Belle and Moses G., both earning single-chair turns.

By the end of the episode, Clarkson maintained a strong presence in the Triple Turn race, while Levine’s acquisition of Jordan marked a strategic breakthrough in a genre that has historically eluded him on the show.

After taking his catalog to London’s Royal Albert Hall, New York’s Carnegie Hall and the Hollywood Bowl in sweeping orchestral form, Beck is bringing the symphonic reinterpretation of his music to Australia for the first time.

The Grammy-winning artist will perform five orchestral shows this May, including three nights at the Sydney Opera House with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra and two performances at Melbourne’s Palais Theatre alongside Philharmonia Australia.

The concept leans into the cinematic undercurrent that has long threaded through Beck’s work. Albums such as Sea Change and Morning Phase — the latter of which won album of the year at the Grammy Awards — were already orchestral in spirit, layered with strings and expansive arrangements. In this setting, those songs are foregrounded differently, while earlier material from Odelay and Mutations has been reshaped to reveal melodic details often buried beneath the genre-hopping production that defined his 1990s output.

Since breaking through with “Loser” in 1994, Beck has moved fluidly between alternative rock, folk, electronic experimentation and chamber pop, earning multiple Billboard 200 top 10 albums and eight Grammy Awards across his career. The orchestral format underscores the compositional range behind that stylistic restlessness.

Beck last performed in Australia in 2023, appearing at Bluesfest and Harvest Rock alongside headline theatre dates. The 2026 performances mark a more curated, concept-driven return — one that aligns his catalog with venues historically reserved for classical and large-scale productions.

Presale tickets for Sydney Opera House Insiders members begin March 3, with additional presales on March 4. General on-sale begins March 5, with Sydney tickets available from 10 a.m. AEDT and Melbourne tickets from 11 a.m. AEDT.

Tour dates are below.

mgk and Megan Fox’s 11-month-old daughter is named Saga Blade — a name that is definitely cool enough to immortalize in ink forever.

In a post to Instagram, Berlin-based tattoo artist Zsofi Csepai shared photos and videos of new work she completed for the “Lonely Road” artist and his team. While his bandmates got things like an octopus and Lady Liberty smoking a cigarette, MGK got “SAGA” tattooed on his right hand in bold capital letters.

The new ink comes ahead of Saga Blade’s 1st birthday later this month. mgk and Fox welcomed their baby girl on March 27 of last year, just four months after the duo called off their two-year engagement and officially ended their four-year on-again-off-again relationship.

Though Saga is Fox and mgk’s first child together, the two both have children from past relationships. Fox has three sons — Noah, Bodhi and Journey — with ex-husband Brian Austin Green. Meanwhile, MGK has a 16-year-old daughter, Casie, with his ex Emma Cannon. Although they are no longer together, Fox and mgk have expressed that they dedicated to co-parenting their daughter. During a break in between legs of his Lost Americana tour in January, the musician shared a recap video to Instagram featuring a clip of his two daughters playing together.

As of a Feb. 15 stop in Italy, MGK is back on the Lost Americana Tour. He plays his next show on Tuesday (March 3) at Amsterdam’s Ziggo Dome before continuing across Europe and the U.S. through the summer, and concluding at the Summer Sonic musical festival in Tokyo.

Hosting The Kelly Clarkson Show is now a family affair — at least it was on Monday (March 2) for P!nk.

The “So What” singer is taking over the daytime talk show for the first week of Women’s History Month, and for the first episode of her stint, she brought along Willow Sage Hart, her 14-year-old daughter with husband Carey Hart.

Together, the mother-daughter duo did a very special Cameo-oke, a segment where the show’s guests cover a song without Kelly present. Both Broadway superfans, P!nk and Willow performed a beautiful rendition of “Hopeless War” from the 2024 Tony Award winner for best musical The Outsiders.

Keeping with the Broadway theme, P!nk and Willow also invited Glee and Maybe Happy Ending star Darren Criss and Grammy-winning Broadway legend Shoshana Bean to the show. Together, the group of four played a Broadway trivia game called “I Have to Know If You Know This Show!” It was mother vs. daughter, as Bean and Willow partnered up against Criss and P!nk and answered questions about shows like Grease, Wicked and Hadestown. Although Criss and P!nk put up a good fight, they ultimately lost to Willow and Bean.

The Cameo-oke performance with her daughter was not the only duet P!nk performed on Monday’s episode: After interviewing Bean about her new album Only Smoke, P!nk joined the Broadway star for a performance of her single “Let Me Believe.“

P!nk’s time on The Kelly Clarkson Show comes a month after Clarkson announced that the series would be ending after seven seasons. Despite rumors that P!nk would permanently take over the show, the “Raise Your Glass” singer shared in a now-deleted Instagram video that her stint on the show is a temporary thing and that hosting a talk show full-time is not something she has time for in her “busy, busy, busy world.”

The next episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, also hosted by P!nk, will feature special guests Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox and Chloe Kim, airing Tuesday on NBC.

Marshall has announced an initiative to support independent music venues worldwide.

On Monday (March 2), the audio and technology company launched a new membership program, Amplify, with the long-term goal of creating a more sustainable music industry. Through Amplify, Marshall commits an amount equal to 1% of member purchases on marshall.com to support local music communities, starting with independent venues.

Amplify is free to join via marshall.com and offers members benefits including early access to products, free shipping and priority support. Every eligible member purchase made through marshall.com will go toward the initiative.

“For over 60 years, Marshall amplified live music, from local independent venues to the world’s biggest stages,” said Marshall CEO Jeremy de Maillard in a statement. “Small venues are where the next generation of musicians turn first time listeners into lifelong fans. Through Amplify, Marshall is building a long-term model to support the future of live music.”

The Amplify initiative will initially focus on independent venues globally that are selected “for their role in supporting emerging artists and local music communities,” according to a press release. Support can come in the form of backline equipment, funded live events and longer-term partnerships.

“It is a real pleasure to work with a brand that truly respects our DNA and places full trust in us when it comes to both the actions we lead and the programming we curate,” said Cecilia Sparano, communication director at independent Paris rock venue Supersonic, in a statement. “This partnership represents genuine support for the fragile economy of small concert venues, and it plays a key role in allowing festivals such as Supersonic’s Block Party and They’re Gonna Be Big to continue to exist.”

The Amplify initiative is now live. Head here for more information.
