In support of his recent albums Swag and Swag II, Justin Bieber has shared a handful of videos. They’ve all been pretty low-key, mostly just sharing slices of his life. The same is true of the new visual for “Bad Honey.”

The video sees Bieber hanging out in a club, rocking cozy-looking hoodies and sipping on drinks as he sings the song and enjoys the environment.

Meanwhile, it was revealed last month that Bieber will be headlining Coachella in 2026, alongside Sabrina Carpenter and Karol G, with a lineup also featuring The xx, Disclosure, Turnstile, Ethel Cain, Dijon, Teddy Swims, The Strokes, Addison Rae, Sombr, Alex G, Young Thug, FKA Twigs, Wet Leg, Clipse, Wednesday, PinkPantheress, and others.

Ed Sheeran also recently revealed that his song “Camera” was meant to be a collaboration with Bieber at one point.

When Fcukers released the single “Play Me” this summer, it was teased that fans should “expect much more from the Fcukers very soon.” Well, today (October 7) brings more, as the duo have released “I Like It Like That.”

Like the single that preceded it, this one was produced by Kenneth Blume (also known as Kenny Beats). The song will be celebrated with a free release party at Madrid’s Clamores.

Furthermore, it was also revealed that the duo is supporting Tame Impala on a forthcoming run of shows, including stops at major venues like New York’s Barclay’s Center and Los Angeles’ Kia Forum.

Pooh Shiesty is back home. The “Back In Blood” rapper has been seen on social media celebrating his freedom alongside colleagues like Big30 and K Carbon after being released from prison. He was released after three years, having been sentenced in April 2022 to 63 months in prison; including time served since his original arrest in June 2021, he’s out just a few months early.

Fellow Memphis rapper K Carbon posted a slideshow of photos celebrating Shiesty’s release alongside 30 on Instagram, with the caption, “IT DONT GET NO BIGGER THEN DS #WelcomeHomeShiesty.” Pooh was also tagged in a slew of videos on social media capturing his emotional reunion with his rap cohorts, donning his signature ski mask and being bequeathed a massive gold chain.

He’s returning to a relatively stable situation musically, as well, after 1017 Records founder Gucci Mane declared he was keeping Pooh and Foogiano on his roster last year. However, he’s got a few conditions on his release; he’ll be on probation for the next three years, including periodic drug tests and scheduled check-ins with a probation officer.

Still, it could have been worse for him; prosecutors pushed for an eight-year sentence after Pooh pled guilty to firearms conspiracy to avoid a potential life sentence. He was arrested shortly after appearing on the 2021 XXL Freshman cover, accused of shooting and robbing another man after a sneaker deal, of all things.

Earlier this year, there was some confusion when a photo of Bon Iver and actress Cristin Milioti appeared in a behind-the-scenes SABLE, fABLE photo book. Why were they together, posing for a photo? Crucially, why did they look like a couple, complete with Justin Vernon holding a baby?

As far as why they were together, it appears we now have our answer: Today (October 7), Bon Iver shared a star-studded new video for “Day One.”

The song itself features Dijon and Flock Of Dimes (Wye Oak’s Jenn Wasner), and they’re in the video, too, aside from them and Milioti, the visual also features Jacob Elordi and St. Vincent’s Annie Clark. Why? Well, the video starts with an on-screen message: “In 2025, Bon Iver announced his retirement, and the search began for his replacement. These are the audition tapes.”

From there, the video goes about how you’d expect: A bunch of different folks, taking to a gymnasium, put their hats in the ring to be the next Bon Iver, doing so as they mouth along to the song. It’s a fun and silly little thing, but those focused on the plot will end upset, as it’s not revealed who was chosen.

Atlanta’s roller rink culture takes the center stage in JID’s new video for “Sk8” featuring Ciara and Earthgang, as the four ATLiens show off their slickest moves on the hardwood while evoking Peach State staples like Cascade Skating, Golden Glide, Skate Towne USA, and Sparkles Family Fun Center. Naturally, some of the city’s coldest teams join them on the rink and in the parking lots, dipping and stepping to the trunk-rattling Atlanta bass beat.

“Sk8” follows “WRK” and “Community” featuring Clipse as promotional videos for the Dreamville artist’s new album, God Does Like Ugly.

Later this month, he’ll continue that promo with a run of God Does Like World Tours dates that will take him all over the US and Canada, Europe, the UK, and Australia. You can see the dates below.

Young Thug’s new album Uy Scuti is out now after being pushed back a week to not conflict with Cardi B’s Am I The Drama?, so what’s next for the Atlanta trap pillar’s comeback? Well, how about a benefit concert in his hometown to celebrate his Hometown Hero status?

That concert will take place on December 16 at the State Farm Arena, and will include, of course, a bill consisting of “Young Thug & Friends,” keeping the “Friends” part a surprise. Considering the guests who appear on Uy Scuti, fans can probably expect appearances from frequent collaborators like 21 Savage, Future, Lil Baby, Quavo, T.I., and Travis Scott, although some of the guests, like Mariah The Scientist, seem unlikely. Fingers crossed for an onstage reunion with Gunna, because neither artist has really been the same since their falling out.

This sort of show has become all the rage since Kendrick Lamar held his Pop Out: Kendrick & Friends show in Los Angeles last year; the guestlist then also consisted of surprise appearances including TDE compatriots Ab-Soul and Jay Rock, LA rap mainstays like Blxst, Dom Kennedy, and Tyler The Creator, and even NBA stars like DeMar DeRozan and Russell Westbrook.

Tickets for Young Thug’s Hometown Hero concert go on sale Wednesday, October 8 at 10 AM EST on Ticketmaster’s website.

Five months removed from the release of her latest mixtape, Fancy That, British dance-pop artist PinkPantheress announced a star-studded remixed version, Fancy Some More?, alongside her animated alter ego. In a video posted to social media, PP wrote, “pinkpantheress and victoria have a message,” while introducing herself to the character — which first appeared in her video for “Illegal” — in front of a whiteboard. “Victoria” scribbles down a bunch of names on the board, revealing just how extensive the guestlist for Fancy Some More? really is.

The artists on the updated project will include Anitta, Basement Jaxx, Bladee, DJ Caio Prince, Groove Armaada, Jade, Joe Goddard, JT, Kaytranada, Kilimanjaro, Kylie Minogue, Nia Archives, Oklou, Rachel Chinouriri, Ravyn Lenae, Sega Bodega, Seventeen, and Zara Larsson. Unfortunately, her dream collaborator, soul icon Sade Adu, does not appear here, but with PinkPantheress’ profile rapidly rising, it might only be a matter of time until she’s on her fellow Brit star’s radar.

After impressing with performances on The Tonight Show and NPR Music Tiny Desk Concerts, PP has been tapped to play a number of high-profile festival sets next year, including Coachella and Primavera Sound, so it doesn’t look like the part-time chess master will be permanently switching careers anytime soon.

Fancy Some More? is due on 10/10 via Warner Records.

Joyce Manor have been a consistent punk favorite since the 2010s, and their most recent LP was the well-received 2022 album 40 Oz. To Fresno. They teased a new project this summer with the single “All My Friends Are So Depressed,” and now the news fans have been waiting for is here: Today (October 7), the band announced I Used To Go To This Bar, a new album set for January 30, 2026.

There’s also a new single, “Well, Whatever It Was.” The band’s Barry Johnson says of the song:

“‘Well, Whatever It Was’ has got to be one of the most Southern California sounding songs ever recorded. I hear Jane’s Addiction in the verses, Beach Boys / Weezer in the chorus, and RHCP in the outro. It was LITERALLY produced by the guy from Bad Religion FFS. Everyone was just firing on all cylinders for this one. Joey Warnoker’s drumming, TLA’s mix, and Lenny Castro’s percussion all just sent it to the end-zone. This song would go insanely hard in a Shrek film.”

The song arrives with a video directed by Lance Bangs and it parodies The Great British Bake Off.

Watch the “Well, Whatever It Was” video above. Below, find the I Used To Go To This Bar cover art and tracklist, along with the band’s upcoming tour dates.

I Used To Go To This Bar is out 1/30/2026 via Epitaph. Find more information here.

Ed Sheeran has been busy. He released his new album Play and he already has its follow-up ready to go. He’s been releasing music videos. Now, he has something else lined up, as he just announced One Shot, a new performance film coming to Netflix on November 21.

A press release calls the project “a groundbreaking, one-shot music experience” and says:

“The multi-Grammy Award winner will take viewers on a mesmerizing journey, during one afternoon, in real time, as he travels the streets of New York City, performing his greatest hits, captured in a single take. From impromptu performances on bustling sidewalks and subway cars, to intimate interactions with fans and passersby, Ed Sheeran’s journey through New York will be captured in a series of unforgettable moments, highlighting the pandemonium and excitement that follows.”

The film is directed by Emmy Award-winning director Philip Barantini, known for his work on Adolescence.

Meanwhile, Sheeran has some other plans on the horizon, too. He was recently announced as one of the big names on the 2025 iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour lineup. He also has a slew of North American appearances lined up, as last month, he announced new tour dates on his Loop Tour launching next summer.

Austin City Limits Music Festival prides itself on featuring predominately local eateries, so if you don’t have much time to explore the city outside of the fest, never fear: ACL offers a full range of foods from revered local establishments.

Over the years, the fest has mirrored its commitment to booking diverse musical acts by consistently upping its culinary game, which emphasizes the city’s flourishing foodie culture by including fine-dining restaurants with adapted menus, in addition to typical chains and street food.

With more than 70 culinary mainstays featured throughout three food centers — ACL Eats, ACL Sweets, and ACL Eats South — making choices can get a little overwhelming. So, we’ve highlighted a handful of options below that are sure to hit the spot, whether you’re running from stage or looking to relax for a few moments between sets.

OKO

Adapted from the fine-dining, family-style format offered at its brick-and-mortar location in East Austin, OKO offers fest-friendly Filipino fusion grab-and-go options. The monok chicken skewers were our go-to: juicy and tender chunks of chicken with a blend of lightly grilled and lime zest flavor that melts on the tongue. You can eat them straight off the skewers, or create a wrap using the provided roti flatbread. Its crepe-like quality adds a sticky sweetness to the savory poultry, resulting in a combined texture bordering on decadence, but not overwhelmingly rich — a meal’s worth of mouthfuls for a reasonable price.

Salt & Time

Though this locally beloved butcher shop shuttered last summer, it’s still making waves with comfortably high-brow-low-brow options at the fest. The sole entree, a wagyu smash burger, does the trick, featuring the classic ingredients of pickles and American cheese on a top-quality patty (or two, for a few extra bucks). The meat is moist but not overly greasy, the bun lightly toasted, and the pickles notably fresh, providing a satisfying crunch (add bacon for extra crispiness). It’s a perfect walking-friendly option for those needing to keep moving quickly, and we’d recommend pairing it with the beef fat french fries. They’re thick and flavorful but light enough that the full meal will fill you without inducing sluggish-ness that might prevent you from staying hyped from the headliners.

Cuantos Tacos

Austin is synonymous with tacos, so if you’re looking to check that box while enjoying the fest, this award-winning trailer (recipient of a 2024 Michelin Bib Gourmand award) is spot-on. The menu offers a straightforward mix: a trio of either suadero, carnitas, or campechana tacos, or a quesadilla with your choice of the three proteins. In our opinion, suadero is the way to go — it’s basically Mexico City-style brisket topped with traditional and fantastically fresh cilantro, chopped onions, and lime.

A lot of taco joints fall short with the corn tortillas (the only option here), but these are perfectly grilled. You know it’s the real deal when it’s not under-cooked and crumbly, and this one won’t break while you bite. Opt for red or green salsa to top it off, or get adventurous and combine the two. Both provide a nice kick, but not so spicy as to overwhelm on ACL’s notoriously scorching days.

Four Brothers Venezuelan Kitchen

Food fit for eating in transit is essential at a festival, and of this restaurant’s half-dozen options, the pork arepa hits the mark. Don’t be fooled by the generous amount of dough (masarepa) used to form the two “buns.” It’s not your typical cornmeal, soft and silky rather than dry and bread-y, and packed with a proportionate amount of slow-cooked, shredded pork bursting with flavor and topped with melted cheddar cheese and garlic sauce. Though you can chow while walking without spilling since it’s conveniently wrapped in foil, its generous juiciness does result in some sticky fingers, so make sure you have a moment to clean up after taking it down.

Saigon Le Vendeur

Carbs, fiber, and protein — all three are necessary to endure at ACL. Might as well make it tasty and healthy with banh mi from the fest-adapted menu of this East Austin Vietnamese staple. We chose the spicy chicken (time for some lean meat after all that pork), which comes packed in a fresh baguette. And we mean seriously fresh — the bread was soft as if straight out of the oven. Topped with gloriously chilled cucumber and shredded carrots, it hit the mark. For an extra kick and a touch of garlic, drizzle on some of their signature hoisin sauce.

We also needed to test the vegan option, a pair of fried tofu spring rolls. These were simple yet filling: an evenly spread slab of flavorful, firm tofu wrapped alongside clean, crispy greens. Pair it with the homemade peanut sauce for best results.
