Olivia Rodrigo is a big fan of Justin Bieber’s headlining set at this year’s Coachella.

In an interview with Audacy Check In posted Thursday (April 23), the Gen-Z pop star praised a number of acts she saw recently at the second weekend of the festival — including Nine Inch Nails and David Byrne — before raving about the Saturday main-stage closer. “I did see Bieber, it was so epic,” she told host Bru. “I loved it.”

“When he sang ‘Baby,’ I think I lost my mind,” she continued about the lead single from Bieber’s 2010 debut album. “I thought it was so beautiful the way he did it with the laptop, too. It almost felt like he was paying homage to his younger self, having his younger self on screen, seeing him in real life so happy. It was really powerful.”

Bieber’s was one of the most talked-about sets from this year’s Coachella. Beyond serenading Billie Eilish on stage and duetting with SZA at weekend two, he also poignantly searched through YouTube videos of his preteen self on his computer as the crowd looked on.

That same day, Rodrigo made a surprise appearance during Addison Rae’s set to perform “Drop Dead,” the former’s newly released lead single from upcoming album You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love (June 12). “I’ve known her [Rae] for so long,” the Grammy winner said on Audacy Check In. “She has such a vision and is such like a positive, wonderful person and I’m just so happy she’s having so much success.”

“We’re friends,” Rodrigo added of how the cameo came to be. “We text all the time, and I text her, and I was like, ‘Maybe I could come out at Coachella. I feel like the song is so fun and free and very you.’ And she was so stoked.”

At long last, K-Pop boy group ENHYPEN is embarking on their 2026/2027 ‘BLOOD SAGA’ world tour with a handful of slated stops in a city near you. The boy band’s latest tour endeavor is set to span 30 shows across 21 cities, starting in Seoul in May, before heading to South America, North America, Japan and Europe. ENHYPEN will make stops in Dallas, San Diego, Tacoma, Oakland and Las Vegas from July through August.

This world tour follows the release of the group’s 7th mini album, THE SIN : VANISH, in January of this year, featuring the lead single “Knife.” This EP gave ENHYPEN the momentum they needed to top Billboard‘s Artist 100 chart for the first time, re-entering at No. 1 on the Jan. 31, 2026-dated chart. The milestone also helped the group become the top musical act in the U.S. for the first time.

‘BLOOD SAGA’ World Tour Dates & Venues

Kaleena Zanders dreamed of being the lead singer in a rock band. That’s until a part time job at a Trader Joe’s on Hollywood and Vine in Los Angeles became the catalyst for a career in dance music.

“My friend there was like, ‘Yo, I have a friend who’s a DJ and he’s looking for a vocalist,’” Zanders recalls. “‘Do you ever do dance music?’”

She did not. Born in San Jose, Calif., Zanders had been a musical theater kid and basketball player who’d grown up playing in rock bands. A fan of Primus, Korn, Insane Clown Posse and Rage Against the Machine, as a teenager Zanders “wanted to be like, Lenny Kravitz.” As such, in college she and some friends formed a band called Molder’s Lounge (named after the lounge in their dorm) that gained traction in the Bay Area and eventually traveled south for a gig at The Roxy in L.A.

“We opened for some metal band, and it was a packed show,” says Zanders, who was the group’s vocalist, and at the time sported a red mohawk. “They had big hair and it was like, Hot Topic to the max. It was nuts. After I was like, ‘You guys, we have to move to L.A.’”

Zanders packed up her things and made the move, but the band dissolved around her as life took everyone in different directions. Still wanting to pursue music, she enrolled in the city’s Musicians Institute, starting in the vocal program. But school was expensive and she wasn’t convinced she needed a formal education to be a singer, so she quit. She then took some time off from music to become a yoga instructor, supplementing her income by working at Trader Joe’s, where her career as a dance artist began amid the aisles.

The coworker who’d asked if she did dance music was friends with the producer SNBRN, who invited Zanders to his downtown L.A. apartment to record vocals for a song. The track they made became the 2015 collaboration “California,” which quickly racked up tens of thousands of streams, then got another boost when it was remixed by Chris Lake and Matroda.

“When I was feeling broken about music and thinking I was going quit, that happened,” Zanders says while speaking to Billboard at a bustling Hollywood cafe. “In 2015 that became the biggest song, and I was like, ‘Wow, okay. This is cool. This is new.’”

New in so many ways. Zanders was at this point mostly unfamiliar with the dance scene in which she was suddenly in high demand. “At first it was overwhelming, because suddenly there were all these DJs hitting me up to work, but I didn’t know them,” she says. “Even the big ones, I had no clue who they were.” She had little experience writing dance toplines and was also finding that the artists approaching her to collab wanted “the belty, soulful, churchy” kind of vocals she wasn’t entirely comfortable delivering.

“Sometimes women with my voice who are Black… how they were treated at that time, if I had known, there’s no way I would have done it,” she says. Feeling overwhelmed by the number of requests she was getting and also disrespected by the way some of these producers were approaching her “I just put up a wall to everyone who was was hitting me up.”

Simultaneously, however, Zanders was finding that she enjoyed the dance world. SNBRN took her out to perform with him at a few festivals, and she attended her first EDC Las Vegas in 2016. “I started to understand more,” she says, “and I loved the community. I wasn’t used to people just being nice to each other and sharing space and enjoying music together, celebrating it, dressing up. I was like, ‘This is amazing.’”

Getting more comfortable in dance, she did a few more collabs, but ultimately still felt worn out by “not getting the right royalties or splits and having to negotiate and fight for those things. That started taking a toll on me. I think the [attitude] among some DJs can be like ‘Let’s just find some vocals,’ very casual. I’m just like, ‘Okay, but I’m a whole human.’”

The final straw came when an artist she’d done a session with released a track with her vocals on it, giving her a credit but no money. “I was outraged,” she says, “but at that point I was already hitting a wall with it and feeling on edge in general. All these vocalists often make the tracks and make them big, and, at least at that time, weren’t able to have careers the same way DJs do.”

The pandemic then hit, and during it a new version of Zanders formed. “I’m actually really thankful for that reset,” she says, “because it made me look at myself and be like, ‘Hey, I think I have the power to do this on my own.’”

Why Kaleena Zanders Is an Up-and-Coming Dance Artist

During the pandemic, Zanders taught herself to DJ, working out a performance style during which she both played behind the decks and sang elements of the songs she’d guested on.

The setup worked, with Zanders booking her her first big solo gig when she opened for Australian sister duo Nervo at Avalon in Los Angeles in early 2022. Her second set happened at EDC Las Vegas 2022, where she played as part of a Femme House art car takeover alongside artists including Femme House co-founder LP Giobbi and scene leader Sam Divine.

“I had just started DJing for s–ts and giggles,” she says, “And then I was like, ‘Oh, I’m playing real shows.’”

Amid these shows, she was also finding her people. Giobbi became a regular collaborator, with the pair working together on the 2021 track “Carry Us.” She eventually signed with The Team (formerly Wasserman Music) and locked in with her manager Travis Alexander, who she started working during the pandemic and who, like Zanders, comes from a rock background. She found a groove playing bass house music in the the tradition of her friend AC Slater and his revered Night Bass parties, eventually finding that “Something that had been frustrating had turned into something really empowering.” In 2025, she continued expanding her world while performing with Griz during his comeback show at Seven Stars festival in Virginia, saying she was “reborn” in the experience given how open and loving she found the bass scene to be.

Now, Zanders is on the verge of releasing her debut album Anything Goes, coming May 15 on Helix Records. Featuring collaborations with Bi-Polar Sunshine, Shift K3Y and Hayley May, the seven-track project is both confessional and catchy, with Zanders delivering lyrics about her tendency to overthink and how brighter days are coming over soulful, buoyant productions. It comes after a headlining tour that launched yesterday (April 23) at Public Records in New York and continues this month and next with dates across North America in Toronto, Chicago, San Diego, Chicago and beyond.

“I’m just thankful for the clarity of this year,” she says, “and that I’m doing this album so that I can tour.”

Best Songs to Start With

Released in February, “Can You Imagine” is the lead single from Zanders’ debut Anything Goes.

“Nobody Else” was released in December of 2025, two months after Griz and Zanders performed together at Seven Stars festival.

Zanders’ powerhouse vocals are on full display on “Carry Us,” her 2021 house collaboration with LP Giobbi.

Release this week, “Stronger Than Machines” is the latest single from Anything Goes.

What’s Next for Zanders

Zanders has clocked several recent high-profile shows, playing on a bill with Diplo and Calvin Harris in San Francisco over Super Bowl weekend in February and performing at EDC Mexico later that month. Beyond her current headlining tour, Zanders’ summer and fall schedule includes festival performances at Wisconsin’s Force Fields Festival, Michigan’s Electric Forest, Beyond Wonderland at The Gorge in Washington and Seven Stars Music Festival in Virginia.

Past Billboard Up-and-Coming Dance Artists of the Month

Metallica paid tribute to beloved San Francisco Symphony conductor and composer Michael Tilson Thomas, who died on Wednesday (April 22) at his home in San Francisco at age 81. “It is with great sadness that we learned of the passing of legendary conductor Michael Tilson Thomas,” the band wrote in a statement. “A towering figure in classical music, many of you became familiar with the man known as MTT when he worked with us as a major driving force in the development and live performances of the S&M2 shows in San Francisco in September of 2019.”

The veteran hard rockers collaborated with MTT (as he was affectionally known) for a pair of shows with the San Francisco Symphony on Sept. 6 and 8, 2019 dubbed S&M2, marking the 20th anniversary of Metallica’s original 1999 collaboration with the Symphony at Berkeley that produced the live album, S&M.

“MTT was more than a conductor; an accomplished pianist and composer, he served as the San Francisco Symphony’s musical director for 25 years. During his time with the orchestra, he brought innovation, experimentation, and community engagement to San Francisco,” the band continued about the energetic, beloved conductor who led the San Francisco Symphony from 1995-2020 and was known for mixing audience favorites with more challenging and lesser-known works by contemporary composers and his work to expand the orchestra’s audience.

“He fostered contemporary music by forming relationships with living composers and creating fresh accounts of standard repertory. Throughout his career, he earned 12 Grammy Awards,” Metallica wrote. “We cherished our time with MTT and learned so much working with him to prepare the S&M2 performances; it was a very high honor to have him on the podium for our shows. He will be sorely missed.”

The S&M2 shows at San Francisco’s Chase Center drew 18,000 fans to the opening of the venue and it featured many of the same songs from the original show, in addition to tracks recorded in the two decades since, including “The Day That Never Comes,” “Confusion,” “Moth Into Flame,” “Halo on Fire” and “All Within My Hands.” The shows were conducted by Edwin Outwater and MTT, with the subsequent film directed by Wayne Isham grossing more than $2.5 million in theaters.
