Diplo is taking off on foot across the country, with the announcement that Diplo’s Run Club will happen in six U.S. cities in 2025 and 2026.

Featuring a 5k run and what’s being categorized as a “mini music festival” headlined by the namesake producer, Diplo’s Run Club will take place in Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle, Los Angeles, New York, San Diego, Miami and Phoenix. The first Run Club happens in Philadelphia in July. See the dates and locations for each event below.

The news follows the debut of Diplo’s Run Club last year, with upward of 20,000 people taking part in Run Clubs in Seattle and San Francisco. (And yes, Diplo has — and will! — run each race.) The San Francisco installment was among the top 10 largest 5k races in the United States in 2024.

“Getting Diplo’s Run Club started last year was some of the most fun I’ve had in a long time,” the producer says in a statement. “Bringing so many people together to run and celebrate is really all I ever want to do. Stoked to bring you guys a bunch more this year with a ton of friends from around the world.” 

A press release also notes that “Diplo originally came up with the idea for this event series after he ran the Miami half marathon and then found himself at the club with other runners craving a post-workout celebration.”

Diplo’s Run Club is presented in partnership with Mascot Sports and Wasserman. Tickets for the all-ages events go on sale March 14. $1 from each ticket will go to supporting local nonprofits in each city.

Coldplay vocalist Chris Martin is working with FIFA to curate the first Super Bowl-style halftime show at the World Cup final next year.

The MetLife Stadium in New Jersey — to be known as New York New Jersey Stadium for the World Cup — will host the final on July 19, 2026. FIFA is also staging what its president Gianni Infantino called a “takeover” of Times Square for the final weekend of the tournament, which will be co-hosted by the U.S., Mexico and Canada.

“I can confirm the first ever halftime show at a FIFA World Cup final in New York New Jersey, in association with [advocacy organization] Global Citizen. This will be a historic moment for the FIFA World Cup and a show befitting the biggest sporting event in the world,” Infantino posted on Instagram on Wednesday (March 5) after attending a FIFA conference in Dallas.

He didn’t clarify whether Coldplay would perform, but said Martin and Coldplay manager Phil Harvey would be involved in booking other artists.

“I also want to thank Chris Martin and Phil Harvey of Coldplay, who will be working with us at FIFA to finalize the list of artists who will perform during the halftime show, as well as at Times Square,” Infantino wrote.

Infantino didn’t say whether the show will require extending halftime beyond the usual 15 minutes.

The NFL’s Super Bowl has played host to decades of A-list artists at its halftime show, with Kendrick Lamar most recently headlining the 2025 halftime and Coldplay helming the 2016 show, with memorable appearances from Beyoncé and Bruno Mars.

Kimberly Burch, the fiancée of Faster Pussycat frontman Taime Downe, has died after going overboard on the first night of The ‘80s Cruise, a nostalgia-themed music cruise featuring performances from Faster Pussycat, Warrant, Dokken, Firehouse, Squeeze, Adam Ant, Tiffany, and Men at Work.

According to TMZ, the incident occurred around 11 p.m. on March 3, aboard the Royal Caribbean Explorer of the Seas. A search operation was launched, involving the ship’s crew and two nearby vessels, but Burch was not found.

Burch’s mother, Carnell Burch, told TMZ that her daughter had been involved in a heated argument with Downe before going overboard. However, she emphasized that Kimberly “wouldn’t purposefully hurt herself.” Authorities have not yet confirmed whether she fell accidentally or jumped.

A spokesperson for Royal Caribbean Group told THR: “Our crew immediately launched a search and rescue effort, is working with local authorities, and we are providing support and assistance to the guest’s family during this difficult time. To respect the privacy of our guests’ family, we have no additional details to share.”

A U.S. Coast Guard spokesperson said the ship was approximately 20 miles from Freeport, Bahamas, when the incident occurred.

A Facebook post from Burch’s family on Tuesday said she “will be greatly missed by all that knew and loved her,” and asked for prayers “during this time for our family as we try to wrap our minds around this heartbreaking tragedy.”

Downe and Burch had reportedly been together for six to seven years. Just last month, Burch shared a heartfelt Valentine’s Day post featuring photos of the couple, writing, “Happy Every Day! From your first hello to me, I fell head over heels in love. You are my Valentine every day of my life. We are a tornado at times and pure raw love. I wouldn’t have it any other way. We do us like no other. I love you with my entire heart and soul.”

Faster Pussycat, formed in the mid-1980s, became one of the defining acts of the glam metal era, selling over two million albums worldwide and touring with rock legends like Alice Cooper, Ozzy Osbourne, Mötley Crüe, Guns N’ Roses, and Kiss.

Bring Me the Horizon has reacted to the unexpected support from Liam Gallagher after covering Oasisiconic “Wonderwall” for Spotify Singles earlier this year.

The band, who reworked the Britpop anthem into a heavier, more atmospheric version, admitted they were taken aback by Gallagher’s positive response.

“It’s a good song, it’s actually one of my favorites. Top five,” frontman Oli Sykes said of the track while speaking to NME on the red carpet at the BRIT Awards 2025. “We always usually cover stuff that no one has ever heard of, so we were like, ‘Now let’s try to reimagine something that everyone knows. Make it easy for ourselves.’ It came out alright I think! It was crazy that Liam didn’t slag it off to the high heavens…”

Drummer Mat Nicholls echoed the sentiment, acknowledging Oasis’ influence on their generation of British musicians.

“[We grew up] listening to them, definitely. It’s hard to ignore them, especially being our age, because Oasis are a British staple. We were expecting [Liam] to absolutely rinse us, but he said some actually nice things! It was cool and I think it went down as good as we wished it could.”

Gallagher had previously responded to the cover on social media, writing, “I f—ing LOVE it.” When a fan speculated that his brother Noel might be displeased, Liam doubled down: “I’m not, it’s absolutely incredible, made my day. I’m off out on my skateboard, f— y’all.”

The BRIT Awards marked another milestone for the band, who previously won Best Alternative/Rock Act in 2024. This year, they were nominated for Group of the Year but lost out to Ezra Collective.

The band is set to headline Reading & Leeds Festival 2025 alongside Travis Scott, Chappell Roan, and Hozier. It marks their second time topping the bill at the twin-site festival, following their 2022 co-headlining slot with Arctic Monkeys.

Suzanne Vega is set to make a long-awaited return in May, announcing the release of her first album of new material in over a decade.

Titled Flying With Angels, the record is Vega’s tenth and arrives on May 2nd. “Flying With Angels is my first studio album of new songs in eleven years,” she said of the new LP. “Each song on the album takes place in an atmosphere of struggle. Struggle to survive, to speak, to dominate, to win, to escape, to help someone else, or just live.”

The record’s announcement has been accompanied by the release of its opening track, “Speakers’ Corner,” which itself features an animated music video by Michael Arthur. “A Speakers’ Corner is an area where free speech, open air public speaking, debate, and discussion are allowed,” Vega wrote on social media. “I guess we better use it now before we find it gone!”

“That’s something you don’t want in democracy: the shutting down of the Speakers’ Corner where people get a say,” she continued in a press release. “This is a moment in time when people are saying a lot, but sometimes they’re not making sense or not telling the truth. People should be accountable for what they say. They can’t just lie. One would think that that would be self-evident.”

Flying With Angels is Vega’s first new studio release since 2016’s Lover, Beloved: Songs from an Evening with Carson McCullers, which was based on Vega’s 2011 play Carson McCullers Talks About Love, written about the titular American poet. Tales from the Realm of the Queen of Pentacles, her most recent album of entirely new material, arrived in 2014.

Vega’s new album also arrived almost 40 years to the day since the release of self-titled debut record. It reached No. 91 on the Billboard 200, though Vega made a marked improvement on that feat with 1987’s Solitude Standing, which peaked at No. 11. The album’s success was largely thanks to second single “Luka,” which gave her a career-best when it hit No. 3 on the Hot 100. Three years later, she returned to the top of the charts, landing at No. 5 with the DNA remix of her a cappella track “Tom’s Diner.”

Vega has also announced an extensive run of tour dates in support of the new album. She’ll launch her Flying With Angels tour in East Greenwich, RI on Thursday (March 6), with a total of 40 dates currently planned for North America, Europe, and the U.K. throughout 2025.

Virginia indie-rock outfit Car Seat Headrest are making their grand return with an even more grandiose record, announcing new rock opera The Scholars as their forthcoming LP.

The new record will arrive on May 2 via Matador, arriving exactly five years and one day since their last studio release, Making a Door Less Open. According to a press release, the narrative of the nine-track LP is set at the fictional college campus Parnassus University, focusing on “students and staff whose travails illuminate a loose narrative of life, death, and rebirth.”

The forthcoming record is previewed by the release of 11-minute single “Gethsemane,” which itself is accompanied by an Andrew Wonder-directed visual.

“Rosa studies at the medical school of Parnassus University,” the band explains of the lead single. “After an experience bringing a medically deceased patient back to life, she begins to regain powers suppressed since childhood, of healing others by absorbing their pain. Each night, instead of dreams, she encounters the raw pain and stories of the souls she touches throughout the day. Reality blurs, and she finds herself taken deep into secret facilities buried beneath the medical school, where ancient beings that covertly reign over the college bring forth their dark plans.”

First formed in 2010 as a solo project of frontman Will Toledo, Car Seat Headrest shared a handful of self-released records before signing to Matador and expanding to a full-band setup in 2015. 

2018’s Twin Fantasy (Face to Face) served as the band’s breakthrough, becoming their first (and so far, only) album to chart within the top half of the Billboard 200, reaching No. 92. It also charted within the top five of the Independent and Alternative Albums charts, and reached No. 11 on the Top Rock Albums. Their latest release, 2020’s Making a Door Less Open, hit No. 184 on the Billboard 200 and reached No. 22 on the Independent Albums chart.

The release of The Scholars puts to rest a protracted period of creativity and touring for Car Seat Headrest, who had fully intended to return sooner with new music. However, the impact of long COVID necessitated the cancellation of tour dates, and the downtime Toledo experienced as a result led to a “dedication to following spiritual practices,” which informs the new album.

Car Seat Headrest will also be launching a series of North American tour dates following the release of their new record, with nine shows currently scheduled between May and November.

Netón Vega makes his first appearance on a Billboard albums chart, as his debut set, Mi Vida Mi Muerte, starts at Nos. 1 and 2 on the Regional Mexican Albums and Top Latin Albums charts (dated March 8), respectively.

Mi Vida Mi Muerte launches with 26,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the tracking week ending Feb. 27, according to Luminate. The 21-track project, released via Josa Records, gives the independent label its first entrance on any Billboard chart.

Streaming activity contributes the majority of Mi Vida Mi Muerte’s activity, which translates to 38.3 million official on-demand streams of the album’s songs. In turn, the set debuts at No. 17 on the overall Top Streaming Albums chart. Plus, it makes its No. 19 debut on the all-genre Billboard 200.

“Together, I’m confident we’ll bring his music to new heights,” said Josa Records founder Jesus Chavez, as the independent record label inked a distribution deal with Downtown Artist & Label Services last December in support of Vega’s music –and so they have. Vega takes Josa Records to its first No. 1 on any Billboard chart as Mi Vida Mi Muerte opens atop Regional Mexican Albums.

With its No. 1 debut on Regional Mexican Albums, Vega joins a select group of soloists who launched at the summit in the 2020s decade. Here is the list of those five champs, two of which placed two No. 1 debuts since.

Artist, Title, Debut Date
Alejandro Fernández, Hecho En México, Feb. 29, 2020
Junior H, $ad Boyz 4 Life, Feb. 27, 2021
Natanael Cano, A Mis 20, June 12, 2021
Junior H, Mi Vida En Un Cigarro 2, Feb. 26, 2022
Ivan Cornejo, Dañado, June 18, 2022
Ivan Cornejo, Mirada, August 3, 2024
Neton Vega, Mi Vida Mi Muerte, March 8, 2025

Though none of the songs from the new album have reached any Billboard airplay tallies, the 23-year-old Vega, Billboard’s Artist on The Rise, placed one song on the Regional Mexican Airplay chart last December: The No. 27-peaking “Si No Quieres No,” with Luis R. Conriquez (The latter is also one of 11 guest artists on Mi Vida Mi Muerte.)

The stacked guest list of well-established corridos tumbados acts also includes Peso Pluma, Tito Double P, Gabito Ballesteros, Chino Pacas, Oscar Maydon and more.

Six songs from Mi Vida Mi Muerte have reached the multi-metric Hot Latin Songs chart. All but “CDN,” with Luis R Conriquez, make progress on the current list. (The latter, now gone from the tally, debuted and peaked at No. 42 the March 1-dated list). “Loco” leads the pack at No. 3 and, with 9.8 million official U.S. streams, is the top-streamed track from Mi Vida Mi Muerte for the week. Here’s the recap of the album’s placements on this week’s ranking:

No. 3, “Loco”
No. 18, “Morena,” with Peso Pluma
No. 23, “M&M”
No. 24, “Mi Vida Mi Muerte”
No. 40 “Chiquita,” with Tito Double P

Barbra Streisand’s My Name Is Barbra won audiobook of the year at the 2025 Audie Awards, which were presented on Tuesday (March 4) at Pier Sixty in New York.

Streisand’s audiobook won a second award, autobiography/memoir. Karen Dziekonskiof Penguin Random House Audio accepted on Streisand’s behalf. “Every recording session with Barbra was an absolute open door into her process,” Dziekonski said. “It showed what a steadfast and committed artist that she is. And a remarkable human being.”

These wins help make up for Streisand’s recent Grammy loss for best audio book, narration and storytelling recording. The award went (inevitably) to Jimmy Carter’s Last Sundays in Plains: A Centennial Celebration. The former president died at age 100 on Dec. 29, near the end of the Grammy voting period.

Streisand’s audiobook competed in the autobiography/memoir category with a work by another certified music legend, Elton John. Unlike Streisand, John didn’t narrate his own memoir (Farewell Yellow Brick Road).

Whoopi Goldberg won the award for narration by the author. Goldberg, who was present to accept, expressed her gratitude to all the narrators in the room. She then jokingly said, “You all should know that I probably have each and every one of you in my phone because I have 10,000 audiobooks.” She added, “I grew up dyslexic so hearing things read to me is heaven.”

Kate McKinnon won in the humor category for The Millicent Quibb School of Etiquette for Young Ladies of Mad Science. She narrated the audiobook with Emily Lynne.

Stephen King won the award for short stories/collections for You Like It Darker: Stories. King narrated the audiobook with Will Patton.

Here are the nominees in selected categories for the 2025 Audie Awards, with winners marked.

The awards are voted on by members of the Audio Publishers Association (APA), which bills itself as the premier awards program recognizing distinction in audiobooks and spoken-word entertainment.

Mötley Crüe won’t be launching their upcoming Las Vegas residency as planned this month, with vocalist Vince Neil set to undergo an unspecified “medical procedure.”

The tour – which was originally scheduled to run for 11 shows from March 28 through April 19 – will now be taking place throughout September and early October instead. According to a statement from the band, the reason for this shift relates to Vince Neil needing to undergo a “required medical procedure” as per doctor’s orders.

“To all the Crüeheads who were looking forward to see us this Spring, I’m truly sorry,” Neil wrote in the statement. “My health is my top priority so I can bring you the awesome shows you deserve, and I can’t wait to return to the stage. Thank you for all the well wishes that keep reaching me. Your support means more than you know.”

In a joint statement, Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee and guitarist John 5 all shared their well wishes for Neil. “Please join us in wishing Vince a speedy recovery,” they wrote. “We are looking forward for him to get well again and to take over Vegas together in September. We can’t wait to see you all out there, and thank you for your understanding and support in the meantime.”

The revised tour will still take place at Dolby Live at Park MGM, albeit from Sept. 12 to Oct. 3 instead. While tickets from the original residency dates will remain valid for the new shows, the tour has now been pared down to just ten shows, with the April 19 performance having been canceled entirely.

Neil’s undisclosed medical procedure is the latest misfortune to affect the singer in recent weeks. On Feb. 10, a plane owned by Neil was at the center of a fatal crash in Scottsdale, AZ. Neil was not present at the time of the incident.

“At 2:39 p.m. local time, a Learjet aircraft Model 35A owned by Vince Neil was attempting to land at the Scottsdale Airport,” a statement from Neil’s representative, Worrick Robinson IV read. “For reasons unknown at this time, the plane veered from the runway causing it to collide with another parked plane. On board Mr. Neil’s plane were two pilots and two passengers.”
