Month: July 2025

All eyes are on Oasis right now as the band prepare to launch their long-awaited reunion tour this week, on July 4 in Cardiff, Wales. Before they start, though, they have a bit of pre-tour news: Today (July 2), they’ve announced a deluxe 30th-anniversary edition of the iconic album (What’s The Story) Morning Glory?.

Most notably, the reissue includes new unplugged versions of five songs: “Cast No Shadow,” “Morning Glory,” “Wonderwall,” “Acquiesce,” and “Champagne Supernova.” The new versions were “produced and mixed by Noel Gallagher and Callum Marinho from the original master recordings,” per a press release. The unplugged version of “Acquiesce” is available now.

Meanwhile, Liam Gallagher recently promised a straightforward stage presence on Oasis‘ reunion shows, saying, “We’re just gonna walk on and get on with it we’re not at the f*cking circus we’re not getting fired out of a cannon ball and we’re not SHOWOFFS.”

Listen to “Acquiesce (Unplugged)” above and find the (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? (30th Anniversary) tracklist below.

Zach Bryan is prone to dropping new songs out of nowhere outside of an album cycle. He unveiled “High Road” last year amid relationship drama and shared “Dear Miss” to celebrate the Philadelphia Eagles winning the Super Bowl, for example. Now, he’s done it again times three.

As Stereogum notes, Bryan played his first UK festival headline show at BST Hyde Park in London, and during the set, he played an unreleased song called “Streets Of London.”

Bryan promised to release the song on Monday, June 30, but he didn’t. In an Instagram Story, he explained:

“yoooo decided to put two songs out instead of just one it’s gonna take an extra day!! Songs’ll be out Tuesday sorry sorry sorry

They are kind of just tunes that didn’t belong on the record, and they didn’t fit on an EP either, so I’m just releasing them to get them out into the world cause I love them. Hope you guys enjoy them. I love each one of ya!! even the folks who talked mad sh*t all year

also only five people ever have sold out Hyde Park two nights in a row. I have you guys to thank for it. I love you so much for showing out London. I will love your beautiful city and country forever! See you next time!”

The songs didn’t arrive on Tuesday either, but today, he dropped a whopping three new songs.

Listen to “Streets Of London,” “River Washed Hair,” and “Song For You” above.

With his fourth studio album, God Does Like Ugly, peeking over the horizon, JID has gone back to one of his favorite standbys: releasing a fiery freestyle to help promote the project. He dropped “30” back in January 2024 and “31” in October, so of course, his latest is “32.”

The video opens with a scroll running down his accomplishments over the past few years: 3 Grammy nominations, 4.6 billion YouTube views, and cheekily, “best rapper under 100 years old.” The rest of the video features fuzzy VHS footage of his exploits on the football field (he played two seasons of NCAA Division I football at Hampton University before his rap career took off). Funnily enough, did you know JID’s real last name is “Route?” You could say he was born to ball — only now, he does so in a different arena.

While JID has already released two videos to promote God Does Like Ugly — “Bodies” and “WRK” — “32” doesn’t appear to be an offical video for the album. Instead, it’s part of a mixtape he’s releasing on the 4th of July as a prelude to the project titled GDLU Preluxe, presented by JD Sports. Between JID and J. Cole, Dreamville remains on the cutting edge of the overlap between athletics and music.

Watch JID’s video for “32” above.

God Does Like Ugly is due on 8/9 via Dreamville/Interscope. You can find more info here.

Larry June and Cardo Got Wings have reunited for another project, bringing in Bay legend E-40 on their latest single. The video for “Ya Feel Me” is understated, yet elegant (much like June’s raps), finding the two Californians trading laid-back verses with the Golden Gate Bridge towering in the background. 40 sips from a bottle of his Earl Stevens Selections wine, while Good Job Larry has a glass of his favorite drink, orange juice. And just like both ingredients in a mimosa, they make a damn fine combination.

Mr. June’s had a pretty busy year thus far, teaming up with The Alchemist and 2 Chainz to release Life Is Beautiful, which they supported with songs such as “Bad Choices,” “Munyon Canyon,” “Colossal,” and the title track. Larry also performed on the BET Awards alongside such breakouts as Gelo, GloRilla, and Playboi Carti.

E-40, meanwhile, is coming off a few high-profile performances of his own, including ones at The Roots’ Hollywood Bowl “Class Of ’95” show and the NBA’s All-Star Weekend as a member of a medley highlighting the Bay Area venue, along with Too Short, Saweetie, and En Vogue.

Watch the video for Larry June’s “Ya Feel Me” featuring E-40 and Cardo Got Wings above.

It was confirmed last month that Ava Max is set to perform on the Macy’s 4th Of July Fireworks special (as are the Jonas Brothers, Eric Church, Lenny Kravitz, Keke Palmer, and Trisha Yearwood). Well, as of today (July 1), Max will have the perfect song to perform for the rapidly approaching occasion, as she just released “Wet, Hot American Dream.”

That said, the upbeat, synthy song’s subject matter wasn’t exactly crafted for network television, as she sings on the chorus, “Tell me all your dirty secrets / All your fantasies / I wanna be your blue jean, white tee, wet, hot American dream.”

The single is the latest from Max’s album Don’t Click Play, which is set for this August.

Watch the “Wet, Hot American Dream” video above and find Max’s upcoming tour dates below.

“Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)” is a typical set-closing song at Green Day concerts, and at a show in Luxembourg yesterday (June 30), the band again leaned on the 1997 hit to wrap up their performance. This time, though, they let a fan on stage to play the acoustic guitar, but he went rogue.

For a few lines, the fan played the song as expected while Billie Joe Armstrong sang, but after a while, he stopped and had a chat with the singer. The fan seemingly indicated he didn’t know the entire song before he began strumming Oasis’ “Wonderwall.” Once Armstrong realized what was happening, he said, “Oh, f*ck me,” then took his guitar back from the fan as they were escorted off the stage. Armstrong seemed to be a good sport about the whole thing, as he laughed before saying, “Nice try, nice try.”

Here’s one video of the moment and here’s another.

Oasis’ Liam Gallagher caught wind of the situation, tweeting in response to the video, “Best song of the night.”

Green Day had a much better fan-on-stage experience at Coachella earlier this year, when a fan joined Armstrong in singing “Know Your Enemy” and had an unforgettable moment.

Gunna takes his fitness very seriously in his new video. In the motivational “Won’t Stop” visual, the Atlanta employs the latest sports science, running, lifting, biking, and more while being monitored by experts and futuristic technology as he trains for glory. The Uproxx Visionary remains linked up with longtime producer Turbo, who also makes a cameo appearance, playing a piano in the courtyard of The (W)rapper building in Los Angeles, which undergoes its own digital makeover in the video to form our hero’s favorite letter, a giant capital “P.”

Gunna appears to be cooking up a new album, following up his 2024 release One Of Wun. In May, he appeared to tease a new project sometime in June. However, it now appears that the date he initially gave was for the release of the first single, while the album itself remains shrouded in mystery. All we know for sure is that he’s working on one, and as usual, expectations are high. One Of Wun debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 driven by the singles “Prada Dem” with Offset and “Whatsapp (Wassam)“, making it his sixth US top-10 album. Can he top it? Hopefully, we’ll find out sometime this year.

Watch the video for Gunna’s new single, “Won’t Stop,” above.

Danish-born Norwegian director and writer Joachim Trier earned his first Oscar nomination for his most recent movie, 2021’s The Worst Person In The World. It’s been a few years since then, but Trier has spent that time working on his next project, which is set to arrive soon: a new movie called Sentimental Value.

The early returns indicate it’s one to really look forward to, as at Cannes this year, it was a Palme d’Or contender (and Grand Prix winner). Trier told Variety that after his movie’s big festival premiere, he was “grateful and a bit exhausted, but most of all relieved,” and in that same chat, he also described the film as an “emotional, personal piece of cinema.”

Ahead of the movie’s release, read on for everything you need to know before it hits theaters.

Plot

The logline reads:

“Sisters Nora and Agnes reunite with their estranged father, the charismatic Gustav, a once-renowned director who offers stage actress Nora a role in what he hopes will be his comeback film. When Nora turns it down, she soon discovers he has given her part to an eager young Hollywood star. Suddenly, the two sisters must navigate their complicated relationship with their father — and deal with an American star dropped right into the middle of their complex family dynamics.”

In an interview with Numéro, star Elle Fanning also explained, “I play the role of Rachel Kemp, an American actress hired by Gustav, played by Stellan Skarsgård. He’s a Scandinavian filmmaker living in Norway and preparing to shoot his upcoming movie. He meets me at the Deauville Film Festival and offers me the role. So, I fly to Oslo. Rachel is a bit disoriented. She’s a major Hollywood star, very famous and with a large audience. But she’s at a low point in both her career and life. She’s seeking creativity and a grittier role that will allow her to express her talent and feel something. So, she turns to a foreign filmmaker, but ends up finding herself entangled in a family drama. And we soon discover she might not be the ideal person for the role.”

Cast

The film is led by Renate Reinsve, Stellan Skarsgård, Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas, Elle Fanning, Cory Michael Smith, Catherine Cohen, Anders Danielsen Lie, Andreas Stoltenberg Granerud, and Øyvind Hesjedal Loven.

Trier told Cineuropa, “I’ve reached a ‘lucky’ point in my career where I can approach actors of a certain stature — a very lofty one, at that. On that ‘list,’ I have Stellan at the very top.”

Release Date

The film is set to hit theaters in select cities on November 7.

A couple weeks ago, it was reported that BTS, following the group members’ mandatory South Korean military service, have set a date for the long-awaited reunion, for some point in early 2026. Well, on Weverse today (July 1), all seven members of the group formally reunited for a livestream, and it turns out the reports were accurate.

During the broadcast, BTS confirmed they’re prepping a new album set for Spring 2026. They said:

“We’ll be releasing a new BTS album in the spring of next year. Starting in July, all seven of us will begin working closely together on new music. Since it will be a group album, it will reflect each member’s thoughts and ideas. We’re approaching the album with the same mindset we had when we first started.”

They added, “We’re also planning a world tour alongside the new album. We’ll be visiting fans all around the world, so we hope you’re as excited as we are.”

The group also noted they’ll start work on the album in the US.

This comes shortly after the band announced Permission To Dance On Stage – Live, their first-ever live album that’ll feature 22 tracks, including “Dynamite,” “Butter,” “Life Goes On,” “Boy With Luv” featuring Halsey, and “On.”

Glastonbury, historically speaking, has a strong claim to the “biggest festival” crown. Glasto has been kicking since way back in the ’70s, before solidifying as an annual event in the ’80s (save for fallow years), with artists like Elvis Costello, The Smiths, and The Cure leading early lineups.

Of course, so much has changed since then. Today’s music industry would be unrecognizable to a time-traveler from Glasto’s early days (although they might be surprised by how much vinyl is still sold). The sorts of music that fans crave have undergone radical shifts; Charli XCX’s set from this year might have a “Victorian child” effect on a festivalgoer from 1982.

But, in another sense, many things remain the same. Heck, even The Cure’s Robert Smith is still involved, via a fest-defining moment when he shared the stage with headliner Olivia Rodrigo. Some of modern music’s most dynamic and exciting artists continue to lead lineups, whether it’s Rodrigo, Charli XCX, The 1975, Turnstile, Wet Leg, Doechii, or Lola Young. There were crowd-pleasing vintage favorites, too, like Rod Stewart, Travis, and Kim Deal of the Pixies and The Breeders. After all these years, it’s also still an event capable of surprising: Lorde opened the weekend with an unannounced daytime performance, during which she played the entirety of her new album Virgin live for the first time.

It’s an event of remarkable breadth as well. Even if you didn’t see a single one of the aforementioned acts, you could still have had a 10-out-of-10, no-notes weekend. This year’s fest had literally thousands of performances on dozens of stages. It’s a bit of a “how many grains of sand are on all the world’s beaches” situation when it comes to how many unique Glastonbury weekends are possible, depending on any given attendee’s musical interests and scheduling priorities.

That makes Glasto futile to sum up in any definitive way, but what can be said is this: The high points were high and the options beyond them were nearly limitless. It was hard to go wrong at Glastonbury this year, and it’s thanks to the mix of quality and quantity that the festival has endured as long and prosperously as it has.
