Beyoncé concert surprise: Mom stuns daughter with dream tickets
Eight-year-old Nalah was stunned when her mom, Brinn Nicole, surprised her with Beyoncé concert tickets in Los Angeles.
Two iconic punk bands, hailing from the '70s, are coming together for a limited-run tour this fall.
Devo and The B-52s announced their 11-city "Cosmic De-Evolution Tour" on Monday, June 16. Tickets go on sale this week for the tour that starts in late September.
The joint tour comes after both bands have performed farewell tours. The B-52s concluded its retirement tour in November 2022 and has had a residency at The Venetian Theatre in Las Vegas, Nevada since. And Devo will finish its "50 Years of De-Evolution" tour in November (after extending the tour last year).
"In 2022, I swore I'd never get on a tour bus again," B-52s front man Fred Schneider said in a news release. "But we were careful to say to our fans that we would still perform in special situations that don't require all of the awful tour travel. Our Vegas residency is going great, and when we were offered the chance to do a small run of shows with Devo, we all said this is an extraordinary opportunity we couldn't say no to."
The B-52s and Devo, punk bands that emerged during the 1970s, reconvened for "SNL50: The Homecoming Concert" at New York City's Radio City Music Hall in February. It was here that the bands talked about doing one last kick off together.
"Believe or not, we've never done more than a festival or two together in all this time," B-52s lyricist Cindy Wilson said in a news release. "This will be amazing and I can't wait for The B-52s to share these stages with Devo."
Here's what to know about the "Cosmic De-Evolution Tour," including tour dates and cities and how to purchase tickets.

Ray Gifted Keys Releases 'That's On Me' Lyric Video Ahead of Upcoming Album I Am Gifted

Detroit artist Ray Gifted Keys drops her latest lyric video while teasing her new album I Am Gifted - a powerful message of growth and self-accountability. '"That's On Me' is me calling the bluff--no more saving face for fake love. If it costs me peace, it's too damn expensive.'— Ray Gifted Keys DETROIT, MI, UNITED STATES, June 21, 2025 / / -- Detroit's own Ray Gifted Keys returns with the official lyric video for her unapologetic new single, 'That's On Me,' dropping Friday, June 21. The emotionally charged visual is the latest step in her rollout toward the highly anticipated upcoming album, I Am Gifted, set to shake the R&B world this summer. 🎧 Lyric Video Premiere: 💿 Stream/Download: Written and performed by Ray herself under her label Ray Gifted Keys Entertainment LLC, 'That's On Me' calls out emotional games, false love, and personal accountability. The track is the second major release from her forthcoming album, I Am Gifted—a 10-track statement piece that celebrates healing, growth, and self-ownership. ''That's On Me' is about breaking the cycle of blaming everyone else and finally reclaiming my peace,' says Ray. 'It's not about being bitter—it's about being better. The album I Am Gifted is the full story.' Ray's unique ability to blend vulnerability with conviction has earned her major viral moments, co-signs from industry icons like T-Pain, Timbaland, and Donell Jones, and features on platforms like TikTok, YouTube, and the Nappy Boy Podcast. Her last single 'Wrong One' drew wide press attention and helped position her as a next-gen voice in soul and R&B. As I Am Gifted nears release, 'That's On Me' offers a sneak peek into the bold themes and signature sound fans can expect. The lyric video marks the next visual in her rollout, following a calculated build across platforms and a direct-to-fan distribution strategy through her official website.

When in London, Miley Cyrus Wears the Capital's Favorite Freakiest Shoe

Miley Cyrus spent the week taking Paris by storm, the streets her runway: She played a secret show for fans in Moulin Rouge-esque, vintage and crystal-encrusted Mugler corsets, and took to the streets in full Valentino, a sheer gown with a feather bra, and a very special Eiffel Tower-embellished archival mini-dress. Photo: Backgrid Photo: Backgrid Photo: Backgrid Photo: Backgrid Alongside her very different takes on French girl chic, Cyrus also joined Beyoncé on her mammoth Cowboy Carter tour to become her very first guest performer. The duo performed 'II Most Wanted' from 2024's Cowboy Carter, which won them the Grammy for best country duo or group performance. The crowd, of course, went wild. For the moment, they both opted for gilded, golden looks: Cyrus in custom Alexander McQueen, and Bey in custom Rabanne. So stepping off the Eurostar at London St. Pancras International station yesterday (June 20), Cyrus exhibited a style more in step with the London fashion set aesthetic, as she arrived to keep promoting her latest album Something Beautiful. She wore a blue-gray trench coat with light blue wash straight leg jeans rolled up at the ankles, and a black tank layered with gold necklaces. She brushed back her usual '80s blow-out into a slick back ponytail, with huge aviator sunglasses and a Maison Margiela 5AC black handbag. On her feet, every east London girl's favorite choice for freaky footwear: the Margiela tabi ballerina flat.

Beyoncé pens sweet note to Sir Paul McCartney

Beyoncé closed out her six-show run in London on Monday night with a heartfelt thank you to a music legend. 'Thank you, Sir Paul McCartney, for writing one of the best songs ever made,' she wrote in a caption on Instagram. 'Every time I sing it, I feel so honored.' Beyoncé is referencing his song 'Blackbird,' which she sings on her 2024 album 'Cowboy Carter.' However, she spells it 'Blackbiird.' Mario Lopez weighs in on deportations: 'Immigrants are what makes America beautiful' She called it a full-circle moment as the singer was wearing his daughter Stella McCartney's design while singing the song during the show. The Cécred founder then thanked her fans across the pond. 'Thank you, London, for creating unforgettable memories for me and my family,' Beyoncé said. 'Holla at 'ya when I come on tour again!' The 32-time GRAMMY winner's Cowboy Carter Tour continues to break records, even ones she previously held. Her six shows at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium received over 275,000 fans and 'grossed over £45,000,000 ($61,500,000 USD), making it the most tickets and highest gross for any artist in the stadium's history,' LiveNation explained in a press release. Taylor Swift surprises patients at children's hospital Beyoncé now holds the venue record for most concerts performed by any artist. Her 2025 tour 'surpassed the benchmark she previously set with five sold-out nights during her Renaissance World Tour in 2023, breaking her own all-time record for most performances by any artist at the venue.' The 'Crazy in Love' singer now heads to Paris, where she'll hit the stage of the Stadium in Saint-Denis, France on June 19, 21 and 22. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
