Brian Eno’s Together For Palestine concert took place in London on Wednesday evening (Sep. 17) with early estimates indicating that the benefit gig raised over £1.5 million ($2m) and counting for Palestinian-led charities and organisations.

The all-star concert was held at the OVO Wembley Arena and featured a series of performances and speeches by 150 leading artists and figures from around the world, including Eno, Blur’s Damon Albarn, Paul Weller, PinkPantheress and Palestinian artists Elyanna and Saint Levant. The funds raised by the concert will be distributed by the pro-immigration charity Choose Love, to organizations such as Taawon, Palestine Children’s Relief Fund and Palestine Medical Relief Service.

Eno, alongside fellow producers Khalid Abdalla, Khaled Ziada and Tracey Seaward, announced the concert in July. He wrote, “What we are witnessing in Gaza isn’t a mystery, and neither is it a blur of competing narratives making it ‘hard to understand’,” it read in part. “When dozens of non-partisan organisations like Amnesty International and Doctors Without Borders describe it as genocide, the moral line is clear. We can’t remain silent. Which is why I’m helping to organise Together for Palestine – a night of music, reflection and hope at Wembley Arena.” 

On Tuesday (Sep. 16), the UN’s commission for inquiry declared that Israel had committed genocide during its ongoing military operations in Palestine. Since the Oct. 7 attacks, which saw terrorist group Hamas murder 1,200 Israeli citizens and take 251 hostages, over 64,964 Palestinian citizens have been killed by Israeli attacks, according to the Hamas-run health ministry. Over 90% of homes in Palestine are estimated to have been damaged or destroyed with the vast majority of the population displaced and requiring urgent aid. 

The concert, hosted by comedian Guz Khan, was streamed live on YouTube. Prior to the event, Billie Eilish and brother Finneas appeared alongside actors Cillian Murphy, Javier Bardem, Brian Cox, Joaquin Phoenix and more in a short video pledging support for Palestine people.

The evening hosted a number of special musical performances. Eno teamed up with Albarn, Weller, Nadine Shah, Hot Chip’s Alexis Taylor and Adnan Jourban for a rare public performance; he performed a piece of music especially composed for the event, before reciting Khaled Juma’s poem Oh Rascal Children of Gaza. The show’s visuals were designed by Malak Mattar, a painter known as the “Picasso of Palestine.”

Portishead reunited for a special pre-recorded performance of their 1994 song “Roads,” and Albarn’s Gorillaz joined Omar Souleyman for a rendition of “Damascus” which appears on the animated band’s upcoming album, The Mountain. Albarn also joined the London Arab Orchestra and the ​​Juzour Dance Collective for a number of traditional Palestinian songs.

Annie Lennox contributed a pre-recorded performance of her hit single “Why?,” amending the closing lyrics to: “This is the sound of drones and guns/ Watch the people run run run/ Shoot to kill them just for fun/ Bodies falling one by one.” The new version, “Why? – For Gaza,” will be available on streaming platforms in the coming days with all proceeds from the single going to the Together for Palestine fund.

Performances on the night also came from Neneh Cherry, Greentea Peng, and Dan Smith (Bastille), Cat Burns, Rachel Chinouriri, Celeste, James Blake, Sampha, Jamie xx and Paloma Faith.

The performances were interspersed with speeches, poems and recitals by actors Riz Ahmed, Guy Pearce, Benedict Cumberbatch, Florence Pugh, Richard Gere, and more. Broadcaster Mehdi Hasan was joined by Palestinian reporter Yara Eid in a segment focusing on the targeting of the press in the conflict area by Israeli forces.

Manchester United legend Eric Cantona made a surprise appearance alongside Mahmoud Sarsak, whose teammate Suleiman al-Obeid – referred to as the “Palestinian Pele” – was killed by Israeli forces while waiting for humanitarian aid. During the segment, Cantona called for a boycott of Israeli teams: “Clubs everywhere must refuse to play Israeli teams, current players everywhere must refuse to play against Israeli teams… football fans around the world, recognize your power – those teams represent you. It’s time for everyone to get off the sidelines, who will follow me?”

A number of musicians did not perform, but appeared with speeches. “I think a lot about what I can do, not only as an individual, but as an artist,” said PinkPantheress in her segment. “We have a responsibility to use our platforms. Neutrality or silence shouldn’t be an option. Give Palestine your voice, and when your voice goes hoarse, hang your flags, wear your keffiyeh. Show them we are here.” See footage from her clip below.

Merchandise from the event is available to purchase here with all proceeds being directly donated to the overall fund. Direct donations can be made here.

Tame Impala‘s fifth studio album Deadbeat is still a month away, but we now know a little more what it will sound like.

Kevin Parker‘s psychedelic pop project has dropped the 12-track setlist for Deadbeat, using the platform of his socials to do so.

Tame Impala gets word out with a simple post, which features a spinning, colored vinyl with the album’s tracks flashing up, three at a time.

If that doesn’t get the juices pumping, switch on the audio. The soundbed to Tame Impala’s post is a snippet of a new track. On it, Parker sings: “In the end I hope it’s you and me / In the darkness I would never leave, you / Ever seen me in the light of day / It’s far too late, the time must come.”

Deadbeat is primed for a global release Oct. 17th, Tame Impala’s first through the Sony Music machine, by way of a new deal with Columbia Records, ending a years-long relationship with Modular Recordings and Universal Music.

The first two tracks from it are the lengthy, dancefloor ready “End of Summer,” and the latest release, “Loser,” a funky throwback track that’s accompanied with a music video directed by Kristofski and starring Stranger Things‘ Joe Keery (aka Djo).

Another cut, understood to be “Ethereal Connection,” was gifted to the world as an untitled b-side for the 12-inch of “End of Summer”, which was sold on the Aussie artist’s website with a limited number of copies.

As previously reported, Deadbeat is inspired by the “bush doof” culture of Parker’s native, Western Australia rave scene.

A message on the pre-order page for the Deadbeat vinyl reckons “Parker sculpts a collection of wickedly potent club-psych explorations as a vehicle for some of his most direct, brain-wormy songwriting to date, recasting Tame Impala as a kind of future primitive rave act in the process.”

Deadbeat will drop more than half a decade after The Slow Rush, from February 2020, a record that went to No. 1 on Australia’s ARIA Chart, and earned career peak positions on the Billboard 200 and Official U.K. Albums Chart UK, both at No. 3. Its predecessor, 2015’s Currents, topped the Australian chart and crashed the top 5 in the U.S. (at No. 4) and in the U.K. (No. 3), where Parker and his Tame Impala bandmates collected the Brit Award for best international group.

Although Tame Impala is not currently on tour, Parker will enjoy the southern summer when he takes the stage as a a special guest DJ for Justice’s Australian arena tour in December 2025.

Steph Curry has a reputation as one of the nicest guys in the NBA, but the basketball superstar will draw a line in the sand when it comes to disrespectful comments about his wife.

The Golden State Warriors point guard hopped in the comments section when he spotted rapper Killer Mike responding to a video criticizing Steph’s wife of 14 years, Ayesha Curry. TikToker Bookie Woodz posted the video, accusing Ayesha of “embarrassing” her husband by sharing her insecurity over not getting as much attention from men as Steph gets from women. “She wants to go be GloRilla or some sh–,” Woodz says in the TikTok. “Like, we get it, bro. Just go drop an album or some sh–.”

For his part, Killer Mike took to the comments section, writing alongside three laugh-crying emojis: “My n—a said she wanna go be Glo!!! Man Steph doesn’t deserve the embarrassment [for real]. God bless him.”

In his response, Steph Curry said he’s come to expect takes like these from “other clowns,” but thought better of the four-time Grammy-winning Run the Jewels MC.

“@killermike naaaaa not you Mike,” Curry wrote, in a screen shot from The Shade Room. “I’m cool [staying] silent and letting these other clowns have [their] moment! And you’re the worst of them,” he wrote, tagging the original poster Bookie Woodz. “But you’re better than that @killermike. Stay in your lane and let God keep blessing me like he is. We r good over here.”

Steph ended his missive with a peace-sign emoji.

While they first met when they were teenagers, Steph and Ayesha Curry didn’t start dating until 2008 before getting married in 2011. The couple have two daughters (Riley and Ryan) and two sons (Canon and Caius).

The Muppet Show is coming back — and it better have an unlimited sequin budget, because pop A-lister Sabrina Carpenter will be joining her fellow bedazzled diva Miss Piggy on the Muppet Theatre stage.

On Wednesday (Sept. 17), Disney+ announced that The Muppet Show — which originally ran from 1976 to 1981 — will return for a one-off special in 2026, just in time for the 50th anniversary of the series premiere.

“It’s time to play the music, it’s time to light the lights, it’s time to get things started as The Muppet Show returns for a triumphant event on Disney+ in 2026 with special guest star @SabrinaCarpenter!” reads a caption on the Disney+ social accounts, alongside photos of the show’s logo and a mug engraved with Kermit the Frog’s name. “This brand-new installment from The Muppets Studio and Point Grey Pictures will feature Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo, and the gang as they return to the Muppet Theatre to put on a variety show filled with music, comedy, and plenty of chaos.”

Carpenter will also serve as an executive producer on the special, alongside Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, James Weaver and Alex McAtee, who are exec-producing for Point Grey Pictures, and David Lightbody, Leigh Slaughter and Michael Steinbach, executive producing for The Muppets Studio.

The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that the special will serve as a “backdoor pilot” for a proper revival of the series next year.

Carpenter is also in the news this week as one of the headliners for next year’s Coachella festival — a gig she predicted back in spring 2024 when she told her afternoon Coachella crowd, “See you back here when I headline!” Well, she might have manifested this Muppet Show job as well: Back in 2020, when she participated in the COVID-era TV special The Disney Family Singalong: Volume II, Carpenter was one of the singers who joined Rogen (yes, the new Muppet Show EP) to perform “The Muppet Show Theme” together through virtual video.

Cam’ron and Damon Dash continue their war of words, stemming from the news that 50 Cent and Killa are supposedly linking up to produce a series based on Dash’s 2002 film Paid in Full.

This time, Cam responded to Dame’s contentious recent interview with The Breakfast Club, during which the Roc-A-Fella co-founder claimed he’s been named the chairman of Revolt TV with a “pathway to acquisition,” news that was first exclusively reported by VIBE and has since become the subject of controversy.

“I ain’t know you’d be lying like this, yo, it’s sad,” Cam said on his Instagram as 50’s “What Up Gangsta” plays in the background. “They told me, but you know when a n—a, your man, you don’t pay attention to a lot of sh–. I didn’t know, bro, that you’re a flagrant liar like this, man. Now look, Talk With Flee comes on tomorrow at 5 p.m. on Revolt’s YouTube, but that was sh– that he talked about last week, so part two will be out this Friday on Revolt’s YouTube about what he talked about this week.”

The Harlem rapper then went on to try to clarify the current situation with Revolt and Dash from his perspective.

“The n—a called Revolt last week and say he wants to put his content on Revolt channel,” he explained. “Revolt programming is booked up until 2026. … So I have two more shows I could do this year and so when I found that out, I called my man Fendi — ’cause I know that Fendi and Dame speak — I said, ‘Yo, tell Dame I’ll put the shows on my slot on Revolt … if I can executive produce the shows.’”

Cam added that Dash once helped him and The Diplomats out when the former record executive brought them over to the Roc during the early 2000s. “He did it for me,” he recalled. “When I needed help, he put my album out on Roc-A-Fella and I let him be executive producer. I’m trying to do the same thing for you. I got two slots left. If you want two shows on Revolt this year … and you wasn’t getting paid ’cause you said you’d do it for free, I got a couple dollars for you. I’m just the executive producer of the show.”

Cam then went on to say that Dame wasn’t the biggest fan of that idea and continued to describe the conversation he had with their mutual friend.

“He tells Fendi, ‘Yeah, aight, bet. Nah, matter of fact, f— that. I’m the Godfather. He can’t executive produce my shows.’ Dame, your own godkids don’t want you. How you the godfather of anything? Your word don’t count no more. You don’t got teeth. You have dentures. Your word don’t mean nothin’. You fell off the Mount Rushmore Harlem a long time ago, but we’ll address it all tomorrow and Friday. But don’t say I ain’t trying to help out.”

Dame and Cam’ron knew each other from their days running the streets of Harlem before they became rap legends in their own right and have had a lucrative business relationship in the past when Cam and The Diplomats spent some time on Roc-A-Fella Records.
