BILLIE EILISH DROPS $11 MILLION AND A MIC
When Billie speaks, people listen — and when she acts, the world moves. At the WSJ. Magazine Innovator Awards, the 22-year-old phenom not only picked up the Music Innovator Award but dropped a bombshell: over $11 million in donations from her Hit Me Hard and Soft world tour to climate, food, and social justice causes. “If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire? Give your money away, shorties,” she quipped, redefining what it means to be a pop star with purpose. This is the Billie era — powerful, playful, and politically charged — the perfect mix of rebellion and real-world impact.

Dark romantics, rejoice. The gothic legends return to the big screen with THE CURE: THE SHOW OF A LOST WORLD – REMIXED, RECUT, 4K REMASTERED, hitting cinemas worldwide December 11, 2025. A full live show experience reimagined in ultra-high definition — Robert Smith and co. promise a haunting immersion that captures every shimmer of eyeliner, every echo of heartbreak. It’s not nostalgia; it’s resurrection. For a band four decades deep, The Cure still makes gloom feel like glory.
FOO FIGHTERS TURN THE VOLUME BACK UP

The Foos are back in full throttle. Dave Grohl and company just dropped a new single, “Asking for a Friend”, a thunderous return to form that hits as hard as their earliest anthems. Alongside the track comes the announcement of their 2026 Take Cover Stadium Tour, with Queens of the Stone Age in tow — a double dose of pure, unfiltered rock mayhem. After all the loss and rebirth, Foo Fighters are charging into the next chapter like it’s their first.
VAMPIRE WEEKEND GO LIVE FROM THE GARDEN

Indie royalty in live technicolor. Vampire Weekend just dropped the live version of their latest album, recorded during their sold-out run at Madison Square Garden — a sparkling document of precision chaos and Ivy League absurdity. The energy? Electric. The sound? Tighter than ever. It’s the band at their most self-assured — playful, polished, and perfectly weird.
FLORENCE + THE MACHINE UNLEASH ‘EVERYBODY SCREAM’

Florence Welch is done whispering to ghosts — now she’s screaming with them. Her new record, Everybody Scream, dropped on Halloween and it’s everything you’d hope from the high priestess of drama: mythic, haunted, and bursting at the seams with power. Gothic-folk meets cathartic chaos, it’s an album built for candlelight rituals and late-night tattoo sessions. Florence isn’t just back; she’s transcending.
HAIDEN HENDERSON DROPS ‘CHEMICALS’ FOR TENSION (HEIGHTENED)
Alt-pop’s rising rule-breaker is giving fans more to feel. On November 7, Haiden Henderson will release his new single “Chemicals” as part of his expanded project tension (Heightened). The track amplifies his signature confessional style with lush production and cinematic textures, capturing heartbreak, longing, and the kind of late-night introspection that defines his sound. Vulnerable, electric, and made for replay, tension (Heightened) cements Henderson as one of alt-pop’s most compelling voices in 2025.
INHALER DROP NEW SINGLE ‘HOLE IN THE GROUND’

Dublin’s favorite sons are back with a new pulse. Inhaler just dropped their latest single, “Hole in the Ground,” on October 31, marking their first new release since Open Wide. The track finds the band at their most cinematic yet — a widescreen, slow-burn anthem layered with introspective lyrics and sky-high production. It’s moody, mature, and unmistakably Inhaler — the sound of a band digging deeper, not darker.
