Sir Rod Stewart called in sick just four hours before he was scheduled to hit the stage at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas on Sunday night. The 80-year-old rock and roll legend posted to his Instagram Stories to give fans the news, while Caesars Palace also confirmed the postponement. “I am sorry to inform you that I’m not feeling well and my show tonight at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace is being rescheduled to June 10,” wrote Stewart. “Your tickets will be valid for the new date.” Later this month, the legendary artist is slated to perform at Glastonbury as one of the oldest artists to play the UK festival. He has confirmed the show will feature a Faces reunion with Ronnie Wood. Throughout the summer, Stewart will also perform more shows across North America for his One Last Time World Tour, and will continue with his 200-show residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace through the fall. Stewart was forced to cancel a few shows in Las Vegas last summer due to a combination of strep throat and COVID. Last week, he was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2025 American Music Awards. “I love what I do, and I do what I love,” Stewart said in an Instagram post last year. “I’m fit, have a full head of hair, and can run 100 meters in 18 seconds at the jolly old age of 79.” “This will be the end of large-scale world tours for me, but I have no desire to retire,” he said, speaking on his One Last Time farewell tour. “I’d like to move onto a Great American Songbook, Swing Fever tour the year after next—smaller venues and more intimacy,” Stewart explained. “But then again, I may not.” View the full article

The same black holes that tear apart stars and bend reality have become unlikely collaborators of NASA after the space agency released musical compositions formed through telescope data. NASA recently released sonifications—translations of digital data to sound—drawing from observations made by a number of its most powerful telescopes, including the Chandra X-ray Observatory, the James Webb Space Telescope and the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer. For astronomers, sonification offers a new way to analyze data that might reveal patterns invisible to traditional visualization methods. For the rest of us, it's a reminder that the universe is full of phenomena so extreme and beautiful that they can literally make music, even in the vacuum of space. NASA has been experimenting with turning space data into audio for years as both an accessibility tool and a way to help scientists identify patterns in complex datasets, but these black hole compositions represent some of the most sophisticated examples yet. The first piece captures WR124, a massive star located 28,000 light-years from Earth that may be in its final stages before potentially collapsing into a black hole. At the center is a "hot core of the star that may explode as a supernova and potentially collapse and leave behind a black hole in its wake," according to NASA. In their sonification, the star's surrounding nebula resonates as flutes while background stars chime like bells. The central star itself produces a descending, scream-like sound that begins the piece, with X-ray sources detected by Chandra translated into delicate harp tones as the musical scan moves outward from the stellar core. The second movement explores SS433, a binary system approximately 18,000 light-years away where a Sun-like star orbits either a neutron star or black hole. This cosmic dance creates fluctuations in X-ray emissions that multiple telescopes have observed. The sonification captures these orbital undulations as pulsing sounds while radio waves from the surrounding nebula, which collectively resemble a "drifting manatee," provide a backdrop. The system's location emanates a plucked sound while bright background stars mirror the plinking noises made by water droplets. The triptych concludes with Centaurus A, a galaxy 12 million light-years away that harbors a supermassive black hole at its center. Creating one of the most dramatic structures in the known universe, it's an "enormous black hole that is sending a booming jet across the entire length of the galaxy," per NASA. In the sonification, X-ray data from Chandra becomes wind chimes while continuous X-ray frequencies from IXPE produce other wind-like sounds. Meanwhile, the galaxy's stars, captured in visible light by the European Southern Observatory's MPG telescope, are translated into string instruments. These compositions were developed by the Chandra X-ray Center (CXC), with support from NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center and NASA’s Universe of Learning program. The collaboration was led by visualization scientist Kimberly Arcand as well as astrophysicist Matt Russo and musician Andrew Santaguida along with consultant Christine Malec.

A broad array of leading automakers and technology companies have sent a letter to the Chairs and Ranking Members of the Senate and House Judiciary Committees, asking them to advance the American Music Fairness Act (AMFA). The legislation will require big radio companies that made $13.6 billion in advertising revenue last year to pay the artists whose music they currently play for free. The letter was signed by the Alliance for Automotive Innovation, the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), the Zero Emissions Transportation Association (ZETA), and the musicFIRST Coalition. “Mandating AM radio without addressing the performance royalty issues would perpetuate an inequity that denies hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation to countless recording artists every year,” the group writes. “While some of our coalition members have concerns about the AM bill for a variety of reasons, we also believe that Congress should not mandate the use of an infringing platform that exploits artists by not paying them for their work. Our position is simply one of fairness and equity, and one that we think all Americans can agree: if you put in the hard work, you should be compensated.” Their call to action comes as the House Energy and Commerce Committee prepares to consider the AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act. In their letter, the coalition warned that mandating AM radio in vehicles without first addressing the issue of performance royalties would exacerbate an already unfair system. “AMFA addresses a longstanding inequity and would ensure that music recording artists are finally paid when their work is played on terrestrial radio. Under current law, terrestrial radio is the only music delivery platform that is not required to pay recording artists for their music,” the letter reads. “Satellite radio and streaming services, including some of our member companies, must compensate artists for their work. The lack of a performance right on terrestrial radio puts some of our member companies at a competitive disadvantage.” “We urge the Senate and House Judiciary Committees to consider the American Music Fairness Act without delay to ensure this longstanding loophole is finally closed and that music artists are not left behind if Congress moves forward with the AM bill,” the coalition writes. “We stand ready to work with you to achieve this goal.” View the full article

Adventure Club have revealed a "Throwback Tour," a series of 2025 shows that's set to transport fans straight back to the golden era of melodic dubstep. The influential duo first made waves at the turn of the 2010s, when dubstep was beginning to evolve and cross over the Atlantic to court a new North American audience. With breakout tracks like their haunting remixes of Yuna’s "Lullabies" and Flight Facilities' "Crave You," they struck a rare balance between emotional catharsis and heavy-hitting electronic music. Adventure Club's signature fusion of cinematic melodies with thunderous, rushing synths became a cornerstone of the genre's melodic wave. Their more recent work, like collaborations with Said The Sky and EDM.com Class of 2025 artist Jessica Audiffred among others, has pushed their sound into new terrain, but the "Throwback Tour" is a deliberate celebration of the blueprint that first made them festival mainstays and global fan-favorites. The tour will kick off August 8th in Houston and hit a slew of major US cities including New York City, Philadelphia, Chicago and Nashville before wrapping in Tampa in late-December. Fans can register for a pre-sale scheduled for Thursday, June 5th before tickets release the following day. View the original article to see embedded media.

Photo Credit: Kneecap Kneecap are getting ready to play their largest show outside of Ireland at Wembley Arena in London. The 12,500 capacity event comes at a time when the group is facing criticism for promoting proscribes terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah. After being removed from Glasgow’s TRNSMT festival due to police concerns—organizers cited the need for a “significant policing operation” if the group were to perform—the rap trio quickly pivoted. They announced a new show at the O2 Academy in Glasgow and sold-out the show in just 30 seconds when tickets became available. Fans at Wembley can expect a setlist spanning their acclaimed albums 3CAG and Fine Art, alongside singles like “H.O.O.D.” and “Its Been Ages.” The Wembley Arena show is also the centerpiece for a packed summer; Kneecap has several other dates slated including Glastonbury, Dublin’s Fairview Park, 2000 Trees, and Sziget in Budapest. Kneecap’s set at Coachella this year drew international headlines for its pro-Palestinian messaging and anti-Israel sentiment—prompting calls for visa revocation. Their first set at Weekend 1 for Coachella was censored, while the second weekend featured the group getting the crowd to lead a chant of ‘Maggie’s in a box’ a reference to former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. The fallout from their appearance at Coachella included the loss of their booking agent and cancellations of several appearances at European music festivals. Kneecap member Mo Chara (real name Liam Og O Hannaidh) faces a terror charge in London. The charge stems from footage showing the rapper chanting support for Hamas and Hezbollah, both proscribed terrorist organizations in the UK. Mo Chara has denied these allegations, dismissing them as a “carnival of distraction.” He is scheduled to appear in Westminster Magistrates’ Court on June 18. Despite the controversy, the group has no shortage of upcoming tour dates.

The infamous Fyre Festival brand, associated with the disastrous 2017 event, is attempting another comeback, this time as a week-long “experience” in the Caribbean. Announced on June 2nd via an Instagram collaboration between the official Fyre account and its founder, the convicted fraudster Billy McFarland, the new venture is dubbed the “Fyre Coral View Pop-Up.“ Scheduled to take place from September 3rd to 10th on Utila, one of Honduras’ Bay Islands, the event is being marketed as a getaway for “adventurers, creators, and the curious.” According to a statement on the newly launched Fyre Hotels website, a small beach resort on Utila approached Fyre after hearing the brand’s intellectual property was for sale. Their idea was to leverage the Fyre name to bring global attention to their “off-the-map gem” by having Fyre program “unforgettable experiences.” The Fyre Hotels website further explains that this return to the Caribbean is seen as a way to reconnect with the “spark that started it all,” referencing earlier, smaller-scale island trips that predated the ill-fated Fyre Festival. This new pop-up promises to blend adventure, spontaneity, and paradise. This announcement comes after McFarland’s plans for a “Fyre Fest 2” were indefinitely postponed in April 2025, and a portion of the Fyre IP was reportedly sold to a documentarian for a music-focused streaming platform. Despite the brand’s notorious past, this latest iteration aims to re-establish Fyre with a resort pop-up experience. About Fyre Festival The Fyre Festival, a name now synonymous with spectacular failure, was the brainchild of Billy McFarland and rapper Ja Rule. Initially conceived in 2016 to promote McFarland’s Fyre music booking app, it was marketed as an ultra-luxurious, exclusive music festival on a private Bahamian island once supposedly owned by Pablo Escobar. Promoted heavily by social media influencers, the event promised high-end accommodations, gourmet food, and A-list musical acts, with ticket packages costing thousands, and in some cases, hundreds of thousands of dollars. However, when attendees arrived in April and May of 2017, they were met with chaos: disaster relief tents instead of villas, inadequate food (famously including cheese sandwiches in styrofoam containers), no medical services, and a complete lack of organization. The festival quickly collapsed, leading to multiple lawsuits, widespread media ridicule, and ultimately, a federal conviction for McFarland on fraud charges. But a federal conviction wouldn’t hold McFarland back. Since his release from prison, he’s made several attempts to keep the Fyre brand alive and generate new ventures. He announced plans for “Fyre Festival 2,” initially slated for late 2024 in the Caribbean, and later promoted for April or May 2025 in Mexico, with tickets going on sale. These plans, however, faced setbacks, including denials from officials in proposed locations and eventual indefinite postponement. In April of this year, McFarland announced that the Fyre brand itself was up for sale, including its trademarks and intellectual property, stating the brand was “bigger than any one person.” Now, just two months later, McFarland has shifted his focus back to promoting Fyre with the “Fyre Coral View Pop-Up.” If there’s one redeeming quality McFarland has, it’s his perseverance.

Swedish electronic music icon Eric Prydz premiered his groundbreaking Holosphere 2.0 production at Ibiza's [UNVRS] club on Monday night, a production characterized by the venue's owner, The Night League, as "the most advanced club show on Earth." The centerpiece of the show is a massive spherical structure that required every component to be custom-engineered from scratch, according to a press release. The installation achieves what the club describes as a "razor-thin balance between engineering-grade strength and near-total transparency," a feat made possible only by its cavernous main room and arena-scale infrastructure. The visual content represents a collaboration between Prydz and a phalanx of digital artists, including renowned visual effects artist GMUNK. Working from a Los Angeles studio, the team filmed crystal orbs, plasma balls and burning glass in 360 degrees, then laser-mapped and stitched the footage into immersive holographic environments. Each visual loop functions as what the creators call "a standalone digital sculpture," with dramatically improved resolution, pixel density and color depth compared to the original Holosphere that debuted in 2019. Rather than a sequel, however, Prydz positions Holosphere 2.0 as a complete reimagining of his iconic show concept, potentially setting a new standard for immersive electronic music experiences. "We’ve waited six years for this," Prydz said. "Not because we wanted to, but because we had to. The technology needed to catch up with our vision as every single part of Holosphere 2.0 is bespoke and original. This is what we always dreamed of." [UNVRS], Ibiza's newest superclub, officially launched Friday night with a spectacular opening party. Watch a video of the debut of Holosphere 2.0 below, courtesy of Prydz.

Get ready to dive deep into the cosmos of sound as EDMTunes sits down with one of the most explosive names in today’s techno scene, Space 92! Known for his searing basslines, relentless energy, and chart-topping releases that have dominated dancefloors worldwide, the French producer has carved out a unique and powerful niche. We recently had the incredible opportunity to connect with the maestro himself to discuss his meteoric rise, creative process, and what aural asteroids he has in store for us next. So, buckle up and prepare for a journey into the mind of a modern techno titan – this is one interview you won’t want to miss! Hi! Thanks so much for speaking with us. How are you and how has your year been so far? Hi, thanks for having me! I’m good, can’t complain. This year has been my biggest so far so I’m very happy and satisfied, even if this means I’m touring all the time and not getting much sleep – it’s so worth it. I played at Ultra Miami’s 25th anniversary as well as Beyond Wonderland SoCal and EDC Vegas, in addition to other prestigious events and venues. And I’ve recently performed in Hong-Kong for the first time, it was insane! Tell us about your TAKEOFF label. What is the story behind it and what ethos are you trying to put across with your platform? I’ve always dreamed of launching my own label so, as soon as I consolidated my own position as an artist and producer, I went for it. Having my own label means I’m completely free and in control. It also means that, today, I can play an active part in giving other talented artists a chance. My label does not care about names or notoriety, it cares about good music being released – period. Tell us about the Formula 1 influence on your new track “Formula Loca”. What’s the story behind that? The F1 sounds are just something that I really like, they’re super powerful and project this image of speed, of fast tracks – just like Formula Loca, pun intended! Also, what made you want to go with the Malena Navay feature? How do you think this carries the release? I really wanted to use sultry, feminine vocals on this track and I’d actually found some; I had already integrated them into the whole thing. That was until one day, a colleague messaged me out of courtesy saying he’d used those same vocals and was releasing his track before me. Very understandably I panicked and posted a message on my socials, where my Argentinian supporters happen to be the most involved, loyal, feral even haha. In no time, I’d received a million messages telling me to check out a beautiful and talented singer & actress called Malena Narvay, who’d already worked with Boris Brechja. So I messaged her, she replied, and you know the rest! You’re released on Drumcode, Filth On Acid and Factory 92. How did you form a relationship and come to release on such heavyweight imprints. I am so honored to have released on these labels. I guess my music spoke for me and matched their vibe & spirit! What advice would you give to young producers wanting to start a label? What are the benefits and what are the hindrances? Be organized, have the right people around you, save everything to your Drive and plan waaay ahead! The benefits are complete creative freedom and not getting exploited, which totally happened to me when I was starting out as a producer. As for the hindrances well, you really need to be careful with your deadlines and not get carried away. Tell us about the journey to your sound. How did your upbringing shape your sound? I’ve always been a music fan, I like all genres. But stumbling upon techno music when I was a teen completely changed my perception of music. I’d dream all day every day of producing and buying those damn expensive machines. I guess it was in my DNA. What have been your main musical influences? So many but Stephan Bodzin was my slap in the face (in a good way). What are your three essential tracks? ‘Formula Loca’ with Argentinian singer Malena Narvay and myself, out now on my very own label TAKEOFF! I’m so proud of this release, Malena is super talented. ‘Jack’, my upcoming collab track with my friends Joyhauser, coming up on TAKEOFF – it’s one of those tracks that essentially tear the dancefloor apart. I really mean it! ‘Rolling’, my upcoming collab with Maddix, probably one of the year’s best tracks for me. Not telling you more! What do you look for in an artist before signing them to your label? His or her music. I don’t care about the rest. Is the production clean, is the track interesting or original, do I want to dance when I listen to it? They could be a Hong-Kong producer with 180 Instagram fans that it would not matter a bit. What music do you listen to outside of the electronic spectrum? Pretty much everything, from French pop music to Rick Astley : ) What shows have you got coming up and which are most looking forward to? Extrema, Awakenings and Tomorrowland, as well as other huge events I can’t talk about right now. There’s also an all-night-long show in Buenos Aires coming up in August… Argentina has a very special place in my heart. It’s going to be exceptional. What was the last record that blew you away? My own!!! I am so serious right now, haha. I was working on a thing and out of nowhere I came up with something so huge it blew me away. I swear it wasn’t just me, my tour manager was sitting there and she jumped up to the ceiling when she heard it. Any comment on the current techno scene in France to leave with? The Techno scene is so dynamic and lively, it’s a blessing. French Hard Techno producers are especially really tearing it up at the moment, from IHM to Nico (Moreno) to Shlomo.

Just a year after suggesting Suno and Udio are direct threats to human artistry, the world’s biggest music companies appear to be changing their tune. Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group and Sony Music Entertainment are now in advanced talks to license their catalogs to generative AI music startups Suno and Udio, Bloomberg reports. If finalized, the deals would not only bring long-standing legal battles to a close, but also mark a dramatic strategic pivot in how the music industry chooses to engage with AI. The companies behind Suno and Udio have been central players in a heated copyright debate since last summer, when the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) sued both startups on behalf of the major labels. At the heart of those lawsuits was a charge of mass infringement alleging that the services copied "decades worth of the world’s most popular sound recordings" to train their text-to-music models. The potential damages, by some estimates, soared into the billions. Yet in a striking departure from their prior hardline stance, the same music corporations are now reportedly weighing licensing agreements that would not only grant Udio and Suno access to copyrighted works, but also potentially include equity stakes in the platforms themselves. Sources familiar with the talks indicate that while the labels are pressing for stronger oversight and safeguards, Suno and Udio are seeking flexible arrangements at prices that won’t stifle innovation—especially critical for startups still in their growth phase. Suno recently raised $125 million while Udio secured $10 million in early-stage funding from investors. Both startups maintain they do not store or replicate copyrighted material, emphasizing that their models are designed to generate original works. Still, in their own public statements, Udio previously acknowledged that their systems “learn from examples" and Suno defended its mission as empowering musicians with “transformative” technology. Should the talks reach an agreement, the resulting licensing frameworks could set a precedent for how recorded music is integrated into machine learning ecosystems, potentially influencing how artists and rightsholders are compensated across the AI sector.

After making a powerful statement with her first single “When She Was Your Soldier” from the upcoming debut album “Forever Fighting” (out August 8), 23-year-old dance artist LUNAX now showcases a lighter, more carefree side with her new single “Summer Nights” (feat. myne) – just in time for summer and ready to take over playlists and dance floors. “Summer Nights” is an infectious dance-pop anthem that combines LUNAX’s driving festival beats with catchy pop melodies. The song captures the essence of everything we associate with an unforgettable summer: freedom, friendship, and living in the moment. The accompanying music video, released simultaneously with the track, brings that exact energy to life. It features friends fully embracing summer – partying, goofing around, hanging at the beach, and cruising in a convertible. Scenes that make you want to dance your way into the next summer night. With her fourth single release, “Summer Nights,” LUNAX opens a new chapter – the track is danceable, uplifting, and still deeply personal. For LUNAX, the song also symbolizes the freedom and lightness she has fought for over the past few years as an artist. “It’s about THAT summer – the one where you forget everything around you, spend time with friends, and just feel life. That’s exactly the feeling I wanted to put into this song,” she explains. Her debut album “Forever Fighting” – out August 8, 2025 – celebrates not only five years of LUNAX on the big stages, but also showcases the full range of her sound: from empowering messages to anthems for endless nights on the dance floor and high-energy festival vibes.

EDC Las Vegas has never been short on spectacle, but what unfolded in 2025 with Tchami and Malaa was a farewell sermon for the ages delivered by two of dance music's most enigmatic figures. For the better part of a decade, the duo's "No Redemption" series stood as one of the scene's most compelling live collaborations with equal parts panache and pummel. And on a spring night in Las Vegas, Tchami and Malaa brought that saga to a close with a DJ set that embraced the very duality that's always defined their creative partnership. Set against the monumental LED walls and eruptive pyrotechnics of EDC's circuitGROUNDS stage, Tchami and Malaa's final "No Redemption" performance took place Saturday, May 17th. "Almost 8 years of No Redemption ended last night at EDC Las Vegas," Tchami wrote at the time. "Glad we could take it this far with my brother." The duo leaned into their shared catalog, revisiting the tracks that shaped their distinct alliance. Those include “When The Beat Bang,” “Underground," “N9” and the four-pronged collaboration “Made In France” alongside DJ Snake and Mercer. One of the night’s most emotionally charged moments came with Malaa’s remix of Linkin Park’s “In The End,” a track that, in the context of this farewell, carried an added layer of poignancy as it echoed across the desert air. And in true Tchami fashion, the set concluded on a note of cinematic clarity with a layered mashup of “Adieu.” You can watch the full "No Redemption" finale live from EDC Las Vegas below.
