During the concert, Grande welcomed Cynthia Erivo to the stage for a pair of performances tied to their work together. The two stars performed For Good, the emotional Wicked duet associated with their characters Glinda and Elphaba. They also sang Get Happy/Happy Days Are Here Again, another number they have previously performed together.

The guest appearance came during the second night of Grande’s London run. The shows mark the closing stretch of the Eternal Sunshine Tour, which began in North America before moving to the U.K.

Grande and Erivo developed a close musical partnership while starring in the Wicked films. Their latest live reunion continued that connection in front of a concert audience rather than on a movie set or television special.

The London performance added a theatrical moment to Grande’s tour and gave fans another chance to hear the pair sing together live.

Alongside the single’s release, Sivan announced that She’s the Best will also serve as the title track of his fourth studio album, arriving October 9. The project follows his 2023 album Something to Give Each Other and marks the beginning of a new chapter for the Australian singer.

Directed by Gordon von Steiner, the video also features drag performer Sasha Colby and shows Sivan appearing in drag. The visual explores femininity and admiration through nightlife, fashion and performance.

Kidman and Sivan have worked together before. Both appeared in the 2018 film Boy Erased, making the music video a reunion eight years later.

She’s the Best also features contributions from several collaborators, including Jack Antonoff, George Daniel, Styalz Fuego and Leland, with Charli XCX providing vocals on the song’s outro.

Collins said his condition eventually became severe enough to require hospital treatment. He described suffering organ failure and reaching a point where his family was called while he was receiving intensive medical care.

The 75-year-old musician has also faced several other health challenges in recent years. He continues to deal with mobility problems, including drop foot, and uses crutches to help prevent falls. Collins said multiple operations and ongoing physiotherapy have helped improve his overall condition.

Music remains part of his life as well. Although he has stepped away from regular performing, Collins still has a studio at home and has both unfinished and completed material. For now, his comments offer a rare update on his health, sobriety and connection to music.

The moment came as both Capaldi and Florence + The Machine appeared at the 2026 edition of the Hungarian festival. Capaldi used the lyrical reference as part of his stage banter, turning the contrast between his own persona and Florence Welch’s dramatic performance style into a joke.

Humor has long been a major part of Capaldi’s relationship with audiences. Even during large festival appearances, he frequently breaks between songs to make jokes about himself, his career and the experience of performing in front of thousands of people.

The Sziget appearance also continued Capaldi’s return to major live stages. His festival performances have placed him back in front of large international crowds, combining his emotional pop songs with the relaxed and comedic stage presence fans have come to expect.

During the August 16 show, Roan also took a moment to praise Kahan before the performance. She told the audience that Kahan has consistently supported her and described him as a good person, adding a personal note to their appearance together.

The duet came during a major night for Kahan, whose Rose Bowl date marked the largest headlining concert of his career. The show was part of his Great Divide Tour and included material from his recent work as well as fan favorites.

Kahan closed the concert with an encore featuring End of August, Homesick and Stick Season. Roan’s appearance added another notable live collaboration to a night that marked a new milestone in Kahan’s touring career.

Billboard said the album earned 369,000 equivalent album units in the United States during the tracking week ending August 13. Of that total, 357,000 came from traditional album sales, marking the group’s biggest week by units earned to date.

The achievement also extends a distinctive run for Stray Kids. All nine of the group’s albums to enter the chart have debuted at No. 1, making them the first act to reach the top with each of their first nine charting releases.

THIS & THAT was released on August 7 and features eight tracks. The project follows a series of No. 1 releases that includes ODDINARY, MAXIDENT, 5-STAR, ROCK-STAR, ATE, HOP, KARMA and DO IT.

The latest debut also places Stray Kids among the groups with the most No. 1 albums in the chart’s history.

During the concert, the pair performed Still together as cameras captured the moment for the song’s official music video. The stadium performance gave the collaboration a large-scale debut in front of a sold-out crowd.

Still is featured on Karol G’s latest project and adds another high-profile collaboration to her recent releases. Bruno Mars also stayed onstage to perform Risk It All with the Colombian singer, giving fans a second duet during the show.

Karol G played three consecutive dates at SoFi Stadium from August 14 through August 16 as part of her current world tour. The Los Angeles concerts are among several stadium stops scheduled across North America before the tour continues internationally.

The newly announced schedule includes stops in Minneapolis, Detroit, Philadelphia, Foxborough, Pittsburgh, Kansas City, Edmonton, Vancouver, Boise and Denver. The 2027 leg is set to conclude June 26 at Petco Park in San Diego. Treaty Oak Revival, Avery Anna, Shenandoah and Wyatt McCubbin were also announced as special guests for the stadium dates.

The extension follows a major 2026 run that sold more than 1.37 million tickets and recently included three shows in London. Combs is also touring behind his March 2026 album The Way I Am, which reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

Tickets for the newly added concerts are scheduled to go on sale Aug. 21, with access also available through his Bootleggers fan club presale.

During the weekend celebration, organizers brought together established artists and rising acts for performances designed specifically for the convention. Among the standout moments were covers of familiar songs by Justin Timberlake, One Direction, BLACKPINK and ATEEZ, giving fans a mix of K-pop favorites and unexpected pop selections.

ZEROBASEONE took a major role in the festivities, headlining the second-day concert and delivering one of the event’s most prominent sets. Special performances throughout the weekend also gave artists opportunities to step outside their usual catalogs and present new arrangements for the Los Angeles audience.

KCON has grown into a major gathering for Korean pop culture, combining concerts with convention activities and opportunities for fans to connect with artists. The 2026 Los Angeles edition continued that format, using exclusive stages and collaborations to make the live experience different from a standard tour stop.

During the opening London concert, the singer moved between newer material and songs from earlier chapters of her career. The set included tracks such as Positions and Hampstead, with the performance built around Grande’s vocals, detailed staging and a production designed to connect the different eras of her music.

The London dates are part of a 10-show residency at The O2, scheduled from August 15 through September 1, 2026. The run also represents the final stretch of the current tour.

For Grande, the concerts mark a major return to live performances in London after several years away from large-scale touring in the city. Rather than focusing on a single album, the show brings together music from across her catalog while giving Eternal Sunshine a central place in the set.

The result is a concert that reflects both her current work and the career that brought her to this point.
