Jet are heading back to regional Australia. Fresh off a run of east coast dates earlier this year, the ARIA Hall of Fame-inducted rockers have announced a second leg of their Rumblin’ Regional Revue tour, adding 11 shows across Australia this October and November.

The newly announced run kicks off in Canberra on Oct. 22 before making stops in Wollongong, Erina, Hobart, Forth, Toowoomba, Coolum Beach, the Gold Coast, Traralgon, Ballarat and Frankston.

The tour continues a busy period for the Melbourne band, which has experienced renewed momentum in recent years following its 2023 reunion touring activity and induction into the ARIA Hall of Fame.

Twenty-five years after forming in Melbourne’s southeast suburbs, Jet remain one of Australia’s most successful rock exports. Their debut album, Get Born, became a global breakthrough upon its release in 2003, selling more than 6.5 million copies worldwide and spawning enduring hits including “Are You Gonna Be My Girl,” “Look What You’ve Done” and “Rollover DJ.”

The album’s impact extended well beyond Australia. “Are You Gonna Be My Girl” reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Alternative Airplay chart and helped introduce the band to American audiences during the garage-rock revival of the early 2000s. Follow-up single “Cold Hard Bitch” also topped Alternative Airplay, making Jet one of the few Australian rock acts of the era to achieve sustained success on U.S. alternative radio.

Jet followed their debut with 2006’s Shine On, which debuted at No. 2 in Australia and produced singles including “Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is,” “Bring It On Back” and “Rip It Up.” The album was supported by extensive international touring and a high-profile appearance on the 2007 Big Day Out festival lineup.

Since returning to the stage in 2023 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Get Born, the band has maintained a steady touring schedule. In 2025, Jet joined Lenny Kravitz on the Australian leg of his Blue Electric Light Tour and also performed a series of U.S. dates.

Joining Jet on the newly announced regional run will be Sydney rock outfit Liquid Zoo at all mainland shows, while Tasmania dates will feature Hobart psych-blues group Spooky Eyes.

Tickets go on sale June 12, with a Live Nation presale beginning June 11.

The annual Farm Aid concert and food festival is headed to Virginia Beach, Va., for the first time this year. The fundraiser for American family farmers will touch down at Veterans United Home Loans Amphitheater on Sept. 26, with sets from board members Willie Nelson, Neil Young (& the Chrome Hearts band), John Mellencamp, Dave Matthews (with Tim Reynolds), Margo Price and Nathaniel Rateliff.

Joining them this year will be Turnpike Troubadours, Lukas Nelson, Mike Campbell & The Dirty Knobs, Jesse Welles, Sierra Ferrell, Mon Rovîa, I’m With Her, Amythyst Kiah, Lily Meola and Chris Pierce. Tickets will go on sale to the general public on Friday (June 12) at 10 a.m. ET via Farm Aid’s website and the box office. A limited number of tickets will be available in a presale beginning at 10 a.m. ET on Wednesday (June 10).

“Family farmers grow our food and strengthen our communities. And when farmers struggle like they are now, communities feel it too,” said Farm Aid cofounder Willie Nelson in a statement. “The challenges farmers face threaten their livelihoods and put all of us at risk. We’re bringing Farm Aid to Virginia to stand with the farmers and fishers who feed Hampton Roads and beyond — and to grow a food system that works for everyone.”

Since its founding in 1985, Farm Aid has raised more than $90 million for programs that help support family farmers and expand the Good Food Movement, which prioritizes locally grown, organic, humanely raised food. According to the press release, attendees of this year’s festival will get to see farmers’ contributions firsthand via Homegrown Concessions, which will offer a fresh menu with ingredients grown and raised by farmers using ecological practices, as well as hands-on activities in exhibits about soil, water, energy and farming.

Last year’s 40th anniversary Farm Aid took place in Minneapolis, and in addition to its founders, it featured sets from Bob Dylan, Kenny Chesney, Billy Strings, Rateliff & the Night Sweats, Lukas Nelson, Trampled by Turtles, Wynonna Judd, Steve Earle, Waxahatchee, Eric Burton of Black Pumas, Welles, Madeline Edwards and the Wisdom Indian Dancers.

Australian broadcaster Nova Entertainment has unveiled a first-of-its-kind Nova’s Red Room experience celebrating the release of Niall Horan‘s fourth studio album Dinner Party, with the broadcaster set to host an exclusive listening event in Sydney for 50 of the singer’s most passionate Australian fans.

Taking place on Wednesday, June 10 in Sydney, the invitation-only event marks a significant evolution for the long-running Nova’s Red Room brand — moving beyond the traditional intimate live performance format that has hosted everyone from Ed Sheeran and Billie Eilish to Sam Smith, Liam Gallagher and The Kid LAROI, in favor of an immersive dinner party-style listening experience centered on the album.

Created in partnership with Universal Music Australia and TEG, the event will bring together 50 of Horan’s most passionate Australian fans for an intimate listen to Dinner Party alongside premium food and beverages, bespoke merchandise and curated experiential elements.

“Nova’s Red Room has built its reputation on creating unique experiences that bring fans closer to the artists they love,” said Nova Entertainment Group Programming Director Brendan Taylor. “As audience expectations continue to evolve, we’re always looking at new ways to innovate while staying true to what makes the platform so special. Partnering with Universal Music Australia and TEG on Niall Horan’s Dinner Party allows us to extend the Nova’s Red Room experience, creating an intimate, highly curated event that celebrates one of the world’s most loved artists and his latest musical chapter.”

The event announcement comes following Horan’s revelation that he’ll be returning to Australia in early 2027 on Rolling Stone AU/NZ’s Rolling Stone Uncut podcast.

“I’ll be down early next year for sure,” Horan said. “We haven’t got to the announcement part of it yet, but there’s no doubt I’ll be down, [and] I can’t wait.”

While Horan stopped short of confirming dates, venues or ticket details, the comments are his clearest indication yet that an Australian tour announcement is on the horizon. The singer last visited the region in 2024 on The Show Live on Tour.

Dinner Party, released globally on Tuesday (June 9) via Capitol Records, marks Horan’s fourth solo studio album. Executive produced by longtime collaborators Julian Bunetta and John Ryan, the 12-track record sees Horan working with co-writers including Afterhrs, Amy Allen, Ian Franzino, Andrew Haas, Steph Jones, Rocky Block and Joel Little. The album opens with “Tastes So Good” and closes with “End of an Era,” with the title track “Dinner Party” landing in second position on the tracklist.

The multi-platinum singer-songwriter first rose to prominence as part of One Direction before launching one of the most commercially successful solo careers to emerge from the group, selling over 90 million records worldwide. His debut solo album Flicker topped the Billboard 200 in 2017 and produced the triple-platinum hit “Slow Hands.”

His subsequent records Heartbreak Weather (2020) and The Show (2023) both topped Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart and the UK Official Albums Chart, with The Show also reaching No. 1 on the ARIA Albums Chart in Australia. His 2024 global headline tour, The Show Live on Tour, played packed arenas across multiple continents.

Australian listeners hoping to attend the Nova’s Red Room Dinner Party can register via the Nova Player for the chance to win an exclusive invite.

Following Madonna’s debut of CONFESSIONS II —The Film at the 25th Tribeca Film Festival, the visual project is now available to audiences everywhere.

The 10-minute film became available on YouTube on Monday (June 8), offering a cinematic experience to accompany Madge’s anticipated album, Confessions II, dropping on July 3.

Directed by TORSO, the project has music direction by Stuart Price, who produced her 2005 album Confessions on a Dance Floor as well as its upcoming sequel. Projecting the spontaneity and confusion of a night out dancing at the club where anything can happen, CONFESSIONS II — The Film unfolds into six songs, each meant to represent a different chapter in the story. “I Feel So Free,” “Good for the Soul,” “One Step Away,” “Bring Your Love,” “Danceteria” and “Read My Lips” are all part of the project.

“I Feel So Free” became the first song release from the album in April and marked the singer’s return to four Billboard charts. The song debuted on Digital Song Sales, Hot Dance/Pop Songs and Dance/Mix Show Airplay and hit No. 1 on Dance Digital Song Sales.

The video includes two main collaborations, and familiar faces accompany Madge as she has a fever-dream-like experience. Sabrina Carpenter joins the show onscreen for a duet of “Bring Your Love,” and Colombian artist Feid takes center stage to sing in Spanish for “Read My Lips.”

Other scenes bring together a collective of some of pop culture’s most beloved faces through the years, including supermodel Kate Moss, actors Debi Mazar, Benedict Cumberbatch and DJ Honey Dijon. Julia Garner, who was tapped to play Madonna in the singer’s self-produced limited series, makes a cameo, looking like a younger version of the Queen of Pop. Lourdes Leon, Madonna’s 29-year-old daughter, also makes an appearance during the final scene, speaking a few words into the camera: “I wish a mother—- would” and “Cut b—-”

CONFESSIONS II – The Film received multiple standing ovations during the Tribeca Film Festival.

The lights are brightest on Broadway, and the New York Knicks tapped Cardi B to perform the halftime show for game three of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden.

Monday night (June 8) marks the first NBA Finals game at MSG for the Knicks since 1999, where they’ll be taking on the San Antonio Spurs in game 3. The Knicks currently sit up 2-0 in the series after taking the first two games on the road in San Antonio.

Media members and team personnel were in the building early and spotted the MSG crew testing out graphics and lighting for the halftime show, as online ticketing marketplace TickPick posted a photo revealing Cardi as the halftime entertainment for the evening.

“Halftime Entertainment Cardi B,” a graphic on the jumbotron read with a photo of the Grammy-winning rapper.

Cardi B will perform at halftime for Game 3 of the NBA Finals at MSG 🔥🔥 pic.twitter.com/PXwrkpCKq2

— TickPick (@TickPick) June 8, 2026

The Bronx native has been rooting on the Knicks during this playoff run and has been spotted courtside at games in the past, like when she and Stefon Diggs went public with their relationship while pulling up to a Knicks game during the 2025 playoffs against the Boston Celtics.

The Knicks have had plenty of New York rapper perform at halftime during their postseason run, including Fat Joe, Jadakiss and Fabolous all have hit graced the mic at MSG.

President Donald Trump is expected to be in attendance for game three, while Cardi B has been critical of Trump throughout his tenure in the Oval Office.

Cardi has been in performance mode for 2026. She embarked on her first headlining North American tour in February, as the Little Miss Drama Tour grossed over $70 million, according to Billboard Box Score.

The trek came in support of Cardi’s sophomore album, Am I the Drama?, which debuted atop the Billboard 200 last September with 200,000 total album units earned.

Billboard has reached out to Cardi B’s reps for confirmation.

Jadakiss is taking 38 Spesh’s challenge seriously.

In a clip that recently surfaced, the legendary rapper told a group of people that he was on his way to the studio because every time he tries to get out of the game, someone pulls him back in.

“I’m ’bout to go in the lab, I’m ’bout to do some samurai swording,” he said, seemingly in reference to Spesh’s comments on the Bag Fuel podcast. “You know what I mean? They asked for it. I tried to be a father, a businessman, but they wanna bring me outta my element.”

38 Spesh — an underground rapper hailing from Rochester, New York — recently told Bag Fuel that he feels Jada has been “ducking” him since they collaborated on the Benny the Butcher song “Sunday School” because he had the better verse. “It’s some n—as respected that just gonna work with you because they fans of the art, and some n—as gonna hear and act like they don’t or be scared to work with you,” he claimed.

“Some people don’t wanna be outshined on the record. Like to be honest with you, I did a record with Benny and ‘Kiss, and I happened to have the best verse on the record. I smoked the record, and ‘Kiss never did a song with me again. And I don’t think he’ll ever do a song with me again.”

He added: “You got a chance to come redeem yourself, ‘Kiss. Come on, come outside, n—a. He been duckin’ me since. Y’all gonna have to reorder your top fives.”

It looks like Spesh is going to get what he’s asking for.

Over the weekend, Billie Eilish and her family played pickleball for a good cause alongside Kristen Bell, Angelina Jolie and more stars.

Hosted by Support+Feed – the nonprofit founded by Eilish’s mother, Maggie Baird – the inaugural event on Saturday (June 6) brought together a number of stars and like-minded members of the community to raise awareness for issues around food insecurity and the environment. FINNEAS and his fiancée, influencer and actress Claudia Sulewski, were also in attendance, as were Dax Shepard, Jolie’s son Pax, Melanie C and Zane Lowe.

“It was incredible seeing so many wonderful people come out to help us raise funds to feed so many people in Los Angeles and a truly joyous and fun day,” Baird said in an exclusive statement to Billboard.

The day kicked off with a smattering of games such as Uno, Ping-Pong and cornhole, with vegan and plant-based food options available to keep the players fueled up throughout the competition. After Baird addressed the group, the official pickleball tournament commenced, ending with twin national champions Ford and Boone Casady taking first place.

As seen in photos from the event, Eilish was all smiles as she took part in the games, which raised money for Support+Feed’s programs combatting climate change and hunger through plant-based food solutions, free farmers markets and educational opportunities. Since the devastating Los Angeles wildfires in January 2025, the organization has also prioritized providing relief to the local community.

Suppor+Feed was present as a partner throughout Eilish’s recent Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour, and on Saturday, the Grammy winner showed up for the organization by taking part in the games. See snaps of her and other stars at the nonprofit’s very first Pickleball Invitational and Game Night Fundraiser below. 

This story is part of Billboard’s Global World Cup Series, a collection of 11 cover stories which pairs top soccer stars across the world competing in the 2026 FIFA World Cup with highly-touted musicians in accompanying countries.

This story spans cities scattered across the world and has three Argentine protagonists, all 25 years old and hungry for glory. Florencio Varela, in the southern outskirts of Buenos Aires, is a working-class neighborhood where cumbia and soccer share the same language. That’s where Tobías Medrano and Matías Rapen are from — the two halves of La T y La M, the duo that got its start during the 2020 pandemic and rose to prominence when the Argentine national team adopted their music as the locker room soundtrack. Around that same time, Enzo Fernández arrived in Varela: born in San Martín, in the northern suburbs of Buenos Aires, he was a talented prospect with no room at River Plate. Lent to Defensa y Justicia, he took over the midfield, showcasing his versatile style — panoramic vision, tactical intelligence, precision in the tackle and the pass. He was a key piece in the Copa Sudamericana 2020 and Recopa 2021 titles, trophies that opened the door to Europe: first Benfica, then Chelsea, who paid €121 million in one of the three most expensive transfers in Premier League history.

The same day Argentina kicked off Qatar 2022 with a shocking loss to Saudi Arabia, La T y La M released “Pa’ la Selección,” which would become the fans’ parallel anthem during the campaign that ended with Messi lifting the trophy. That tournament was also Enzo’s launchpad: at 21, he won the FIFA Young Player Award, honoring the best player at the event 21 years old or younger. For the duo, it was equally a turning point: they grew into regulars in the top 10 of the Billboard Argentina Hot 100, with “Amor de Vago” as their peak — 12 consecutive weeks at No. 1 in 2025.

Now, with the 2026 World Cup just around the corner — Argentina leads Group J and will face Algeria, Austria and Jordan — all three are facing new challenges. Enzo will arrive to defend the title fresh off the FA Cup final, amid rumors linking him away from Chelsea. La T y La M, meanwhile, will release Tierra de Campeones (Land of Champions), an EP inspired by the national team and the passion it ignites. 

Billboard Argentina brought the three together in late April in Madrid. Enzo arrived with his trademark wide smile and a mate kit — the natural icebreaker for a conversation woven through music and soccer. Flipping through a print issue of the magazine, his musical tastes came to the surface: Daddy Yankee (“he came to London to see me, we hung out after the game”), Bad Bunny (“top, top, top — I’d love for him to do a cumbia with La T y La M”) and some Argentine rock: “I don’t know much, I won’t lie to you. But I love La Beriso and Callejeros.” The mate kept going around. So did the conversation.

Enzo: What do you admire most about soccer players?

Tobías: The consistency and discipline to compete at such a high level. We can get together for a drink, have a barbecue, laugh, do normal things … but you won’t even touch a soda! (Laughs.) That tells me everything about why things work out the way they do for you. It’s the consistency and discipline, beyond the talent.

Matías: This guy never loses focus. You set the bar high for us, man! (Laughs.) 

Enzo: Fair enough. You guys have to keep me in check.

Tobías: And what do you admire about musicians? 

Enzo: Great question. The talent — what they show when they have to perform in front of so many people. Because in the end, it’s just you up there. What I admire most is that personality, the way they carry music out into the world.

Enzo: What do you think soccer and music have in common?

Tobías: The funnel effect. In Argentina, you lift a rock and find someone who plays soccer — but only 1% ever make it. Same with music: how many people have talent, can sing, play instruments, but never break through?

Matías: Talent and discipline go hand in hand. You can have all the talent in the world, but if you’re not disciplined, you stay stuck.

Tobías: How do you think music enhances the soccer experience?

Enzo: For me, music is life. It helps you focus, takes the pressure off before a game, motivates you. I love listening to music on the team bus on the way to the stadium, and then in the locker room. It really helps you get your head somewhere else.

Tobías: Who controls the music in the locker room? 

Enzo: On the bus, it’s Rodri [Rodrigo De Paul]. In the locker room, it’s Ota [Nicolás Otamendi]. We listen to everything, but mainly cumbia. A lot of La T y La M cumbia. 

Matías: Let’s go!

Matías: What excites you most about the next World Cup? 

Enzo: Getting to be with my teammates again and feeling that passion that Argentine fans bring. During the year we compete at a high level, but the World Cup is something else. The focus is different; we prepare mentally in a different way. It comes around every four years and you have to be at 100%.

Tobías: That’s everything.

Enzo: Forget that we’re friends and that you know some of the guys on the national team. As fans, what do you expect from our squad? 

Tobías: The “three W’s”: win, wow and wallop. The truth is, with the relationship we have, you end up feeling closer to the players. But beyond that — they did everything Argentine people ever dreamed of. They made us forget our problems, our crises. I love watching them play, I love seeing the national team string 20 passes together and put it in the net. We won everything there was to win. And I say “we” because I’m a diehard fan and I feel like part of it. Nobody can ask anything more of them today. The people just want to see them happy, the same way they made us happy. 

Enzo: You still have to demand things from us — that’s how we keep winning. 

Tobías: Sure … next time we’ll give you hell. (Laughs.) 

Matías: Son of a b–h, son of a b—h! (Laughs.)
