The Weeknd releases new album and announces North America stadium tour

Fresh off the release of a new album, 'Hurry Up Tomorrow,' The Weeknd has announced a massive North American stadium tour — not an easy feat for a contemporary solo act and further confirmation of his popularity.
The 'After Hours 'Til Dawn' tour kicks off May 9 in Phoenix at the State Farm Stadium and concludes in San Antonio on Sept. 3 at the Alamodome.
The tour will also hit Detroit; Chicago; East Rutherford, New Jersey; Foxborough, Massachusetts; Minneapolis; Denver; Inglewood, California; Las Vegas; Santa Clarita, California; Seattle, Vancouver, Canada; Edmonton, Canada; Montreal; Toronto; Philadelphia; Landover, Maryland; Nashville, Tennessee; Miami; Atlanta; Orlando, Florida; Arlington, Texas, and Houston.
He will be joined by Atlanta rapper Playboi Carti and Mike Dean.
Tickets can be purchased through the artist presale, which will begin Wednesday at 10 a.m. local time and run until Thursday at 9 a.m. local time. The general sale will begin on Feb. 7 at 10 a.m. local time via theweeknd.com/tour.
'Hurry Up Tomorrow' is the final album in The Weeknd's record-breaking trilogy that began with 2020's 'After Hours' and 2022's 'Dawn FM.' It features a number of all-star collaborations, including Future on 'Enjoy the Show,' Anitta on 'São Paulo,' and Lana Del Rey on 'The Abyss.'
The album was at least partially inspired by a set at Inglewood, California's SoFi Stadium just outside Los Angeles in 2022, where the musician born Abel Tesfaye lost his voice. He has described the moment as the start of a breakdown. He will return to the venue for two nights in June.

Ciara has got 'a lot of love' for Rihanna as she breaks silence on rumored rift

Ciara has revealed her bad blood with Rihanna is now water under the bridge. In an interview with Bravo's Watch What Happens Live on Thursday, the 39-year-old singer revealed that past tension has now disappeared. 'CiCi got a lot of love for RiRi,' said Ciara. The feud between the stunning singers started in February of 2011, when Ciara admitted she and Rihanna hadn't been on the best of terms while appearing on the E! series Fashion Police. Ciara said back then: 'I ran into her recently at a party and she wasn't the nicest and it's crazy because I've always loved and respected what she's done with fashion. I've ran into her before, but this time it wasn't the most pleasant run-in.' However, she's now revealed they have both matured and traded their youthful rivalries for parental responsibilities. Ciara is parents to four kids: son Future Zahir 11, with rapper Future; and with Wilson, daughter Sienna Princess, eight, son Win Harrison, four, and Amora Princess, one. Rihanna is mom to two kids with ASAP Rocky - sons RZA Athelston Mayers, two, and Riot Rose Mayers, one - and expecting her third. Ciara went on: 'Oh my gosh, we were babies - now we're mamas doing our thing - it's all love.' Ciara said that she recently crossed paths with Rihanna at the Met Gala last month, revealing they 'got to have a good conversation'. She added: 'She's now having her third baby, which is so cool - so shout out to mamas out here doing everything!' Back in 2011, after Ciara was critical of the S&M singer on the E! series, Rihanna replied to the onscreen snub tweeting, 'My bad ci, did I 4get to tip u? #howrudeofme.' Ciara replied: 'Trust me Rhianna u dont want to see me on or off the stage' to which Rihanna said in reply, 'U gangsta huh? Haaa. Good luck with bookin that stage u speak of.'

Coldplay perform hit song for first time in 9 years

Coldplay treated concert goers to one of their most loved songs, after declining from singing the hit in nearly a decade. The British band was in Texas on June 14, performing to a huge crowd while on their North American leg of their 2025 Music of the Spheres tour. Towards the end of their concert, frontman Chris Martin announced to the crowd that they were going to attempt to sing a hit song from their 2005 album X&Y, Speed of Sound. 'To finish a good time here in El Paso, why don't we try and reclaim the song Speed of Sound?' which was met with an eruption of cheers from the crowd. He then promised that the band would at some point release a cleaner version of the song, admitting that he wanted to improve the tune. 'At some point, we'll do a proper edit of the song. Just do a remix, I'd like to make it a little bit quicker, a little bit shorter, a little bit tighter, maybe mix the drums slightly. 'You understand? And it'll just be a much better song, Will! I'm so sorry I messed it up when I was a young man,' he said, speaking to the band piano player Will Champion. He then said to the crowd: 'For those of you who were not born in 2005, here's Speed of Sound, it's not that good, but we're going to try and play it anyway!' The song was met with cheers from the crowd, who appeared to be delighted with this change in the set list and applauded the band.

It charted in the UK singles chart at number two and debuted in the US at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100. This was a milestone for the band at the time as their first top 10 hit. The hit was even nominated for two Grammy Awards and won an MTV Europe Music Award for Best Song. It was the band's highest ever peaking song until Viva La Vida in 2008. Despite the song's success, the band and Chris have been open about their dislike of the song. 'We never got it right,' Chris told Howard Stern in a 2011 interview. 'It pains me.

The band last performed the song live in 2016, when they were on their seventh concert tour, A Head Full of Dreams Tour. The tour was in support of their seventh studio album of the same name, which featured hits including: Hymn for the Weekend, Adventure of a Lifetime, Up&Up, and Birds. While Speed of Sound wasn't on their set list, they performed the tune in Sao Paulo as a surprise song when they asked concert goers to send in requests for an extra tune on the set list.
