Historically speaking, musicians use their platforms to make statements about political and social issues, so it stands to reason that a massive music festival could represent the ideal place to do it. This raised the question of whether that might be a theme during the first weekend (October 3 to 5) of the 23rd edition of the Austin City Limits Music Festival, which drew 75,000 people per day to the Texas capital’s sprawling Zilker Park.

The resounding answer: not really.

Save for a comment by Ray Benson of Asleep At The Wheel (who have opened nearly every ACL Fest since its inception in 2002) and a statement at the end of Hozier’s headlining set, where the Irishman pontificated for several minutes on the importance of unity and compassion in the face of myriad affronts, the remainder of the roster’s 100-plus artists didn’t delve into current issues. It was a little unexpected given many recent high-profile cases, but perhaps also unsurprising since a music festival is just as powerful as a safe space where people can celebrate what should be considered another sort of baseline human right: the freedom to embrace unpoliticized joy and pure, old-fashioned fun.

Exuberance abounded consistently throughout the three days. Friday’s highlights kicked off with French-Korean artist Spill Tab, whose performance ranged from uber-chill (“Hold Me,” “Assis”) to explicitly energetic (“Pistolwhip,” “Crème Brûlée!”). Animal Collective’s Panda Bear continued in that vein, kicking off his set with the floaty 2015 number “Selfish Gene” before launching into more of the upbeat, guitar-driven selections from this year’s Sinister Grift. King Princess offered up a healthy helping of tunes off her new album Girl Violence, equal parts sultry-smooth (“Jaime”) and raucous (“I Feel Pretty” was bookended by ripping guitar solos). Finneas and Ashe, performing as The Favors, then delighted with their first-ever festival set (and just their third show to date), while Empire Of The Sun worked one of the day’s largest crowds into a dancing delirium, climaxing with mega-hit “Walking On A Dream.”

Saturday’s lineup featured another slew of bangers. Riize, the festival’s first K-pop band, absolutely astounded with their flawless choreography and kinetic cuts from the full-length debut Odyssey, proving that ACL might benefit significantly from booking a K-pop headliner in the future. Early on, one of Austin’s biggest recent success stories, the powerhouse trio Next Of Kin, shifted effortlessly between southern-tinged, show-stopping stompers like “It’s a Shame” and heartfelt ballads (“Jekyl And Hyde” and “Homemaker”), all of which featured the three singers delivering hypnotizing harmonies and trading lines with lightning-quick sass. Keep an eye on their meteoric rise in the ranks of downhome hotshots – they might just be the Destiny’s Child of queer country.

Though Japanese Breakfast thrilled with her inclusion of premier ATX drag queen Louisanna Purchase to bang the gong on set opener “Paprika” and Magdalena Bay to collaborate on a cover of MGMT’s “Time To Pretend,” Sabrina Carpenter won the accolade for best cameo, bringing out Shania Twain to duet on “That Don’t Impress Me Much.” Though many might’ve been disappointed they didn’t get Taylor Swift — it was heavily rumored she might show up to perform the title track to her just-released twelfth album, The Life Of A Showgirl — it was a momentous occasion that solidified Carpenter’s role as a superstar torchbearer. Interestingly, however, The Strokes garnered an equally large audience across the field, proving that indie rock nostalgia is just as viable in today’s music industry (see also: Modest Mouse, whose classics-dominated set saw a surprising number of teenage fans losing their sh*t at the barricade).

The day’s true headliner, however, was Florida rapper Doechii, who easily drew the largest crowd of the session. Even without a band, backup dancers, and dazzling production like she brought for her dazzler at Lollapalooza — instead opting for a simple swamp-themed setup with only her DJ for support — she retained command for the entirety of the hour-long set. The rapid-fire run of heavy hitters from her 2024 debut album Alligator Bites Never Heal, deep cuts (“GTFO,” “Crazy”), and even a ferocious freestyle over Beyoncé’s “America Has A Problem,” saw her running, thrashing, and twerking non-stop to fill up the empty space. The display revealed Doechii as a chief ambassador for retaining the old-school rap spirit while leading the pack in cutting-edge technique, solidifying her path to a rightful place among contemporary rap’s greats.

Honestly, she should’ve been elevated to Sunday night headliner when Doja Cat dropped out. The Killers are not a like-for-like choice, and their fest finale felt slightly contrived. To that end, two Willie Nelson covers — “Whiskey River” featuring local artist Guy Forsyth on harmonica to kick things off, plus a take on “Always On My Mind” — somewhat reeked of desperation to win over an Austin-centric audience who didn’t get what they originally paid for. Even so, the Las Vegas band’s audience was enormous, and they visibly exhilarated with a hits-laden set that resulted in the largest sing-along of the weekend during the “I’ve got soul but I’m not a soldier” refrain of “All These Things That I’ve Done.”

And there were plenty of other artists who helped the festival go out with a bang: The Dare, despite being slotted in the afternoon heat instead of a more appropriate nighttime setting to complement his dance club vibes, swept his fans into a frenzy of fun for his first live show in Austin. Wet Leg satisfied the rock itch with their massive main stage maelstrom. T-Pain staged a western-themed, hits-heavy sunset shebang for the ages. Phantogram harnessed the ultimate potential of darkness to conjure a superior industrial rock-electro dance party.

It all goes to show that the festival didn’t require a litany of comments critiquing our current political climate — even if those that were offered were truly heartfelt — to proliferate widespread compassion and safety. Healing was achieved through the immortal jubilation derived from sharing live music, with more to come during ACL Fest’s second weekend.

Running and drumming overlap in more ways than one. Practice, rhythm, and tempo all play crucial roles in both; the former creates blisters on your feet, while the latter makes blisters on your hands. All this common ground isn’t lost on Travis Barker, Blink-182 drummer and pop-punk’s figurehead in demand. He initially got into running because he wanted to be around for his children for as long as possible. Now it’s a daily practice that has blossomed into a beloved hobby, and as of last year, the opportunity to host 5Ks in various cities. Run Travis Run encourages participants to join Barker himself for a 3.1-mile run while benefiting Community Organized Relief Effort (CORE), a humanitarian nonprofit focused on storm relief and preparation for climate-based disasters, such as hurricanes and wildfires.

As both a drummer and runner myself, I called Barker to discuss why he enjoys running, how he got the idea to start the Run Travis Run events, how he maintains his cardio routine while on tour, the commonalities that drumming and running share, and more.

This conversation has been edited for length and clarity.

Tell me how you first got into running. What was the catalyst?

I just got into running when I found out I was going to be a father for the first time, and I had this overwhelming desire to be better and to be healthier, and that was the spark that led to eating right, to stop drinking, stop smoking, and it led to a better lifestyle. It helped me balance out some of the bad stuff I was doing at the time and helped me sober up. I felt like I was getting closer and closer to being the person I wanted to be, which was a good, healthy father for my son who was about to be born, and I wanted to be a father that could play sports with him, or run with him, or skateboard with him, and, ultimately, live a long life with him. I just left the house, laced up some bands, and ran to the freeway and back. I didn’t really know what I was doing, and I didn’t really need to know what I was doing. God gave me running. I could just go run. So that started being my regimen: run to the freeway and back every day. I wanted to be in shape, and this was the first and easiest way I knew how.

When you’re on tour, what does your routine usually look like? Do you take a treadmill around with you, or do you try to find a park somewhere?

My favorite is running outside. Sometimes, it just depends. If I’m at a venue and there’s nowhere that I can run, I have a treadmill that I think goes up to, like, 7.6 miles per hour. So I’ll go on that and get my mileage in for the day. I walk for three miles every morning, regardless of what’s happening. I’ll wake up early and just knock that out and prepare for the day ahead. It’s kind of my routine, and then I’ll hit a workout. It’s kind of iffy if I can do circuit training or resistance training on show days because I feel like my arms are just at capacity.

As far as the Run Travis Run events go, how did you get the idea to start those?

My goal every day is to run three miles before showtime. So I was doing it. I had the idea, ‘Well, why don’t I do it with people who also love to run and touch base with that community of people?’ Then I figured out a way to partner with CORE and give back. It was a no-brainer for me, and we threw our first one last year. Originally, I was going to the Boys and Girls Club and donating in every city we went to, but CORE figured out what every city needs. Instead of me blindly doing it with my eyes closed and trying to give back, CORE really helped figure out things for those in need, like storm relief.

Also being a drummer, I feel like there’s some things that intersect with running, like the rhythm and the tempo and whatnot. Where do they coincide for you?

If I can find the flow state where I’m not thinking, then that’s the best show or the best run. For me, especially on tour, playing is one thing, and it’s very intense, and running is my escape, but it also helps me. I have to run. I have to jump rope in order to be able to play the way I want to play, and whatever comes to my head that I want to try and do for how long, I pretty much can do because I train every day and I work out every day. Some people look at it like it’s grueling, it’s painful. It’s all the things that I practice to be good at. I know it might be the hardest part of my day, but I’d rather initiate it. I’d rather start my day like that and run toward those things then have those things creep up on me. Running has been that for me. I love challenging myself, and I love the hard workouts. I love being sore. I love the blisters that come with playing drums and the bloody hands. I love the blisters that come with running. They go hand in hand, and I feel like they both train me to be a better person, drummer, and runner.

There are times when I get up for a run at 5 and I come back and it’s 7:30 and come and wake my wife up: ‘I ran a half-marathon.’ She’s like, ‘Oh my gosh. Who does that?’ And I was like, ‘Me! I do that!’ It does take a certain person that’s disciplined. 250-mile, you know, ultra-marathons, I can’t even imagine, but I do understand it at a smaller, less intense level, why people do it. I do love it, and it does make me feel better.

What would you tell somebody who wants to get into running but maybe feels a little daunted by it?

That’s sort of why my run club exists: to get people that may have been discouraged or don’t want to exercise or are afraid of exercising. You could come walk three miles, come jog three miles. Come do whatever you want for three miles. I felt the same way for forever. I’m not really an athlete or a jock or whatever. But I can still love running. Like we spoke about earlier, it’s the one thing no one needs to teach you. You don’t need any fancy gear. I didn’t have running shoes up until a year and a half ago. It was more about figuring it out. I’m probably still learning how to run correctly, like no one’s ever shown me how to run. But that’s the beautiful thing about it. It’s very DIY, and it has become something that’s meditative and therapeutic for me. There’s nothing else that gives me that runner’s high.

I know you’re on tour and super busy, so I don’t want to take up too much more of your time, but I do want to know: What is your favorite thing about running?

My favorite thing about running? Well, I love everywhere running takes me, whether I’m in New York and I’m running on trails, or in the middle of nowhere, or if I’m in South Carolina and I’m staying close to a beach, and I get to go run on the beach. I love everywhere running has taken me. I love all the people that it’s brought into my world or my life. I ran in New York at my 5K that we threw out there, the Run Travis Run, and I had a New Yorker that was on my ass in the best way, who was just hyping me up. And it was one of my best PR times. I didn’t know him. We just met, and we were there pushing each other. I love that part of it, and then I just love all the landscapes and everywhere that running has taken me that I normally wouldn’t see if I wasn’t a runner.

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.”

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.
