Two-time Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter, and subversive performance artist Poppy has officially unveiled the chaotic new music video for her latest single, "Dying To Forget." The visual was helmed by director Orie McGuiness, marking a continuation of his creative partnership with the artist following their recent video collaborations on "Guardian," "Bruised Sky," and "Time Will Tell."

The industrial-tinged video centers on Poppy and her live band performing against a dark, gritty industrial backdrop. It features a narrow corridor packed with real-life fans who were brought in as production extras, delivering a palpable, high-thrash energy that mirrors the track's heavy lyrical delivery. Adding serious weight to the performance, the video features prominent cameos from Isaac Hale of Knocked Loose and Stephen Harrison of House of Protection, both of whom serve as credited co-writers on the heavy-hitting track.

"Dying To Forget" serves as a standout single from Poppy’s acclaimed seventh studio album, Empty Hands. The album seamlessly weaves industrial grit with sharp pop sensibilities and surrealist vocal delivery, earning critical praise from outlets like Pitchfork, which noted that the versatile vocalist "amplifies all her strengths on her seventh album—it's heavier, savvier, and quirkier than ever." To back the new material, Poppy is currently on her Constantly Nowhere Tour. Having already wrapped dates across Australia and Europe, she is set to launch the highly anticipated North American leg alongside French metalcore standouts Landmvrks and post-hardcore outfit Thousand Below.

A formal police investigation has been launched in the United Kingdom after a couple was caught engaging in an explicit intimate act inside a Ferris wheel pod at this year's Download Festival. The incident reportedly took place on Saturday, June 13, 2026, at Donington Park in Leicestershire, drawing a massive crowd of spectators directly below the attraction.

The viral encounter unfolded at the busiest point of the evening while tens of thousands of rock fans were tightly gathered at the main Apex Stage, waiting for Guns N' Roses to begin their highly anticipated headlining performance. According to eyewitnesses, the couple appeared to mistakenly believe the glass paneling of the pod was tinted. "They were literally in a glass pod above everyone's heads," one festival attendee told the Daily Star. "As soon as the cameras came out and word started getting around about what happened, the atmosphere completely changed—they made the night. All I can think is they thought the glass was tinted, but it wasn't at all; it was actually spotless, you could see everything."

While the act drew amused reactions and immediate memes from sections of the crowd, it also sparked sharp condemnation from families in attendance. Other eyewitnesses reported feeling disgusted by the overt public display, noting that numerous children present at the 95,000-capacity rock and metal festival were exposed to the encounter.

A spokesperson for the Leicestershire Police officially confirmed that an active investigation is underway to identify the individuals involved. "Officers are aware of a video on social media concerning two people acting inappropriately while on a Ferris wheel at Download this weekend," the department stated, confirming they are working in close tandem with Download Festival organizers. Authorities have requested that anyone with relevant information or details regarding the identities of the couple contact them online via the official Leicestershire Police portal, quoting crime reference number 26*346427.

Celebrity tattoo artist and beauty mogul Kat Von D has taken to social media to firmly deny viral allegations holding her personally responsible for a devastating 2010 house fire at a rented Hollywood Hills property. The controversy reignited after a user named Teva, the son of the late property owner Deborah, posted a series of TikTok videos claiming that Von D's alleged negligence and obsession with lit candles destroyed the historic "castle" rental, causing years of legal and emotional distress for his family.

Responding directly via her own TikTok account, Von D disputed nearly every element of the viral claims, asserting that she was not even inside the structure when the blaze broke out. Instead, she pointed the blame at faulty electrical wiring in the basement, an issue she claims she had repeatedly warned the property owner about prior to the incident. Von D further alleged that the landlord had sent an untrained spouse to address the wiring problems rather than hiring a licensed professional. Pushing back against the narrative that unattended candles caused the inferno, Von D emphasized that she suffered profound personal losses in the fire as well, including her computers, hard drives, clothing, and her beloved pet cat, Valentine.

While the internet debate centers on competing personal accounts, the dispute carries a heavily documented legal history. In May 2012, State Farm Insurance filed a civil negligence and breach of contract complaint against Von D (born Katherine von Drachenberg) in Los Angeles Superior Court. Court documents from that suit revealed that the insurance company sought to recover a payout of $909,199, alleging that an internal investigation determined Von D was liable for leaving multiple lit candles unattended on November 21, 2010. Addressing Teva directly, Von D stated that while she could not imagine the pain of losing a parent, the fire was ultimately a terrible tragedy completely outside of both parties' control.

The Obama Foundation has unveiled a powerhouse musical lineup consisting of "global icons" to celebrate the grand opening ceremony of the Obama Presidential Center. Set to take place on Thursday, June 18, 2026, the highly anticipated dedication ceremony will officially kick off a weekend of grand opening festivities spanning the Juneteenth holiday weekend from June 19th through June 21st.

Rock legends Bruce Springsteen and Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder are among the stellar list of confirmed performers taking the stage for the event. The multi-genre celebration will also feature world-class appearances from Bono and The Edge of U2, Stevie Wonder, Christina Aguilera, John Legend, Jennifer Hudson, Marc Anthony, Common, The Roots, Tems, and actress Marsai Martin. Designed to be a direct celebration of the core community values that shaped the Obama presidency, the star-studded ceremony will be broadcast live online for global audiences starting at 12:00 p.m. ET / 9:00 a.m. PT.

The sprawling, 19-acre cultural campus is located on Chicago's South Side and breaks from the traditional presidential library model. The public grounds feature an athletic center, a local Chicago Public Library branch, community gathering spaces, a playground, a sledding hill, and a fully interactive ticketed museum. Notably absent from the guest list is Donald Trump, who previously criticized the $850 million project on social media. Despite the past criticism, representatives for the Obama Foundation publicly stated that Trump remains "welcome" to visit and tour the expansive grounds at any time.

In a resurfaced philosophical reflection from an extended interview with The Guardian, The Cure frontman and primary songwriter Robert Smith shared a candid, deeply personal look into his views on existence, parenthood, and life. Known for shaping the sonic landscape of post-punk and gothic rock with his signature introspective style, Smith addressed his long-standing decision to remain child-free, framing it not as a matter of regret, but as a direct extension of his broader belief system. "I’ve never regretted not having children," Smith stated openly. "I objected to being born, and I refuse to impose life on someone else."

The iconic musician elaborated that bringing a new life into the world requires a level of absolute certainty about human existence that he does not personally hold, viewing life as something that should not be passed on without profound consideration. During the conversation, Smith also addressed public speculation surrounding "A Boy I Never Knew"—an unreleased track by The Cure that many fans suspected was about fatherhood. Smith clarified that while the song carried a deeply personal tone, it was actually inspired by a combination of wider influences, including stories of loss among his close friends and historical references to the early human fossil known as the "Turkana Boy."

Beyond his personal life, Smith also expressed his natural inclination toward keeping his creative output focused on internal, emotional themes rather than overtly political commentary. He noted that while he has attempted to write about real-world political issues in the past, he found it difficult to balance artistic strength with an overt political message, ultimately leaving those tracks off final releases. For Smith, who has remained the sole constant member of The Cure through decades of defining alternative rock history—from 1979's Three Imaginary Boys to landmark albums like Disintegration—keeping interviews and music tethered to genuine creative and existential themes remains paramount to his enduring legacy.

To celebrate a monumental two decades since breaking onto the mainstream music scene, front-man Chris Daughtry and his namesake rock outfit have announced a special, stripped-back theater run for this fall. Dubbed the "20 Years Unplugged" tour, the upcoming trek purposefully steps away from massive arena production, opting instead for intimate performance spaces designed to let the core melodies and emotional weight of their lyrics take center stage. Buffalo, New York singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Ryan Perdz is officially locked in to provide direct support across all scheduled dates.

The acoustic retrospective officially gets underway on October 12th in Troy, New York, at the historic Troy Savings Bank Music Hall. From there, the tour will weave down the East Coast and cut directly across the Midwestern U.S. before hitting California and ultimately wrapping up on November 14th at the Majestic Theatre in Dallas, Texas. The timing of the anniversary trek perfectly aligns with the band's latest musical chapter, following the comprehensive arrival of their Shock To The System (Deluxe) project via Big Machine Rock, which masterfully combined their recent heavy-hitting EPs with completely new live recordings.

Dedicated fans looking to score a seat in these smaller rooms can jump into the official artist pre-sale and exclusive VIP package offerings starting Wednesday, June 17th at 10:00 a.m. local time. Local, venue, and promoter pre-sales will immediately follow on Thursday, June 18th, before the remaining ticket inventory drops for the general public on Friday, June 19th at 10:00 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster and the band's official web portal.

Hard rock juggernauts Skillet have officially secured a monumental place in streaming history as their multi-platinum anthem "Monster" eclipsed 4 billion global streams. The milestone officially lands the track a coveted spot in Spotify's exclusive Billions Club and solidifies its status as one of the most-streamed rock songs of all time.

The achievement arrives on the absolute high of the band's completely sold-out 2026 European headline tour, which saw them perform in front of the largest international crowds of their career. The trek moved over 90,000 tickets across 23 cities—including packed houses in London, Glasgow, Munich, and Warsaw—and broke venue ticket records at the legendary Zénith Paris. Skillet's cross-over momentum has accelerated well beyond the concert stage this week, as their hit single "Legendary" was selected as the featured theme song for a historic UFC promotional event hosted at the White House.

The global wave of success follows an incredibly strong multi-format run for the band, which took off late last year when their first-ever holiday recording, "O Come, O Come Emmanuel," went viral and captured the No. 1 spot on five different Billboard charts. Boasting more than 23 million albums sold worldwide and averaging 12 million monthly listeners on Spotify, the two-time Grammy-nominated outfit continues to expand its global footprint. Fans of the band's heavy sonic style have even more to look forward to, as the group has recently teased that some of their heaviest and hardest-hitting new studio material to date is officially expected to drop later this year.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame guitarist Tom Morello has fiercely fired back at critics who argue that musicians should keep out of politics, labeling the sentiment deeply hypocritical. In a candid conversation with Katrin Riedl for Germany's Metal Hammer magazine, the lifelong activist and Rage Against the Machine co-founder passionately defended the intrinsic bond between artistic expression and political discourse, especially in modern times.

"When people say that musicians should not be involved in politics, it means they are people that disagree with your politics," Morello leveled directly. "The second that you write a song that agrees with their politics, all of a sudden they're all for it. So, one, it's very hypocritical, but two, I also think that, why should you give away your free speech rights in the job that you do? Because it offends someone?" Morello expanded the philosophy beyond the stage, insisting that no worker—whether a tour manager, bus driver, or journalist—should be forced to leave their core beliefs at the door. He warned that self-censorship out of fear of internet trolls only serves the rise of authoritarianism, noting that "there's an extra hot layer of hell for people in times of great injustice who censor themselves and remain quiet."

The iconic guitarist, currently tearing through a massive summer European festival circuit that has already hit Download, Rock am Ring, and Nova Rock, also reflected on how political music fundamentally shaped his own identity. Morello credited hip-hop legends Public Enemy and punk pioneers The Clash with showing him that artists could provide a crucial "beacon of hope" for marginalized communities.

That defiant spirit is fully alive on his latest collaborative single, "Adjourn It," which unites Morello with longtime friend Serj Tankian of System of A Down and Morello’s 15-year-old guitar prodigy son, Roman Morello (who wrote the track's driving main riff). Inspired directly by heavy-handed enforcement tactics and ICE raids in Los Angeles, the crushing anthem serves as a direct protest against institutional injustice. The track's music video beautifully underscores this message by weaving in powerful h…
