Rising country star Bailey Zimmerman has a whole bunch of tour dates coming up in 2026. He’s adding to that, too, but in a different, more football-oriented way. (The football connection is a natural one given that Zimmerman and Luke Combs’ “Backup Plan” is ESPN’s 2025 college football season anthem.)

Today (September 22), Zimmerman announced a run of tailgate pop-up activations on college campuses. The Different Night Same Rodeo College Tailgate Experiences are tied to Zimmerman’s tour dates and there’s a lot to love about them. The events will feature exclusive custom merch, like free school-color bandanas, koozies, hats, and T-shirts with on-site customization. There will also be a temporary tattoo parlor and a Silverado photo moment, featuring a Different Night Same Rodeo-branded Chevy Silverado.

The takeovers actually already started this past weekend, with Zimmerman heading to Clemson University as the football team was taking on Syracuse. To get a feel for what it was like, and was future activations will be like, there’s a video here.

The following activations are coming up soon:

University of Georgia – Athens, GA – Alabama vs. Georgia – September 27, 2025
Texas Christian University – Fort Worth, TX – Colorado vs. TCU – October 4, 2025
University of Tennessee – Knoxville, TN – Arkansas vs. Tennessee – October 11, 2025
October 18, 2025 – To Be Announced

Fortnite goes hard when it comes to getting the music world involved in their goings-on. This year, they’ve teamed up with stars like Sabrina Carpenter, Bruno Mars, and Gorillaz. Now, we can add Daft Punk to the list.

It was announced today (September 22) that the defunct electronic duo will be honored with the “Daft Punk Experience” in Fortnite A press release calls it “the biggest musical experience in Fortnite‘s history.”

The experience is set to have a grand opening on September 27 at 2 p.m. ET, preceded by the pre-event lobby opening at 1:30 p.m. ET. It’s described as “a fully interactive playground that includes multiple rooms with different ways to experience Daft Punk’s music,” including 31 songs from the group’s discography. The festivities kick off with a supercut from Daft Punk’s Alive tour and the Alive 2007 album.

It’s further described:

“Remix Daft Punk’s previously released music and create mashups of Daft Punk’s songs within Fortnite at Dream Chamber Studios, blast hordes of robots with a soundwave laser in the Robot Rock Arena, make a LEGO® music video at Around the World, or hit the Daft Club to dance ’til dawn. You’ll also find furniture from longtime Daft Punk collaborators Hervet Manufacturier throughout the experience.”

The Fortnite Shop will also have a new Daft Punk bundle available starting September 25 at 8 p.m. ET. Accessories include “the signature GM08 helmet, outfit, and accessories (both in Fortnite and LEGO styles); TB3 helmet, outfit, and accessories (both in Fortnite and LEGO styles); along with instruments and a “Get Lucky (feat. Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers)” Jam Track.”

On top of all that, there will also be an afterparty and details about that will be revealed later.

Check out images of the virtual venue and what will be available in the Shop below.

Bad Bunny has had a pretty major past week. He received more Latin Grammy nominations than anybody else for the upcoming ceremony.

The performance was the finale of Bunny’s residency at Puerto Rico’s José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum. The show, which included 43 songs, featured a number of surprise guests, including Miky Woodz, Tommy Torres, Jowell & Randy, Ñengo Flow, De La Ghetto, Rainao, Arcángel, and Marc Anthony.

When you’ve held onto the follow-up to a beloved debut album like Invasion Of Privacy as long as Cardi B has, the pressure to deliver can not only be overwhelming, it can be debilitating — understandably so. The hype train has no brakes: It simply picks up speed until it hits terminal velocity, but if you ride it out too long, it loses momentum and stalls out permanently.

So, your options become one of three: Either you deliver, which is often the most difficult outcome to achieve, roughly akin to throwing a dart at a bullseye from 30,000 feet at 500 MPH. In this metaphor, the jetliner you’re throwing from also somehow doesn’t depressurize and throw you screaming into the void. Then, there’s failure. I don’t think we have to explain the dreaded “sophomore slump.”

The third option, and the one that’s seemed to become the most popular in recent years, is the swerve. You know your long-awaited assumed opus can never live up to its predecessor, so you juke expectations and drop a left-field project no one could possibly expect. This is what Kendrick Lamar did with his 2015 jazz-rap classic To Pimp A Butterfly, which is well-regarded now, but left fans desperate for Good Kid part deux scratching their heads. That same year, Kendrick’s mentor, Dr. Dre, finally abandoned the insanely anticipated Detox for Compton, a decidedly less ambitious project that nonetheless fed fans’ hunger for high-concept gangsta rap (and made Anderson .Paak a star in the process).

Of course, Cardi B, being Cardi B, went ahead and invented another option: On Am I The Drama?, her sophomore album six-plus years in the making, she over-delivers, for better or worse, in more ways than one.

Starting on the surface level, Am I The Drama? contains 21 all-new songs, in addition to megahits “Up” and “WAP,” bringing in a tracklist of 23 songs — an increase of a full LP’s worth of tracks over Invasion Of Privacy. No one can say she hasn’t been busy in the seven years since 2018. Those 20-plus songs run the full gamut of what we’ve come to expect from Cardi since: boisterous club songs, vulnerable love songs, antagonistic battle rap, and nods to New York’s vibrant Hispanic subculture.

She also holds nothing back; She dedicates no fewer than three tracks to addressing her extremely public and fraught breakup with ex-husband, Offset. In “Man Of Your Word,” Cardi leaves little doubt, snarling, “I held back for you, was really biting my tongue / Should’ve fell back from you, instead, I gave you a son.” The regrets continue on “What’s Goin’ On?,” where Cardi autopsies the relationship for its cause of death: “You wrote down some beautiful vows / Gave my first beautiful child / Told me you was quiet for all of these hoes / Come to find out you the one loud.”

“Shower Tears” details the aftermath, as Cardi negotiates with herself through the “getting over it” phase of the breakup. “I’m on the edge, this the last straw, you got me fed,” she muses. “I have to question this again, then this sh*t is dead.” This is the raw, unflinching honesty that has so endeared her to the listening public. It’s also overkill; Invasion Of Privacy hit similar notes more efficiently. Yes, relationship drama is messy, and clearly, this was the biggest thing on Cardi’s mind as she finished up this album, but the sprawl takes away some of the urgency of her confessional, and we really didn’t need Lizzo’s 4 Non Blondes impression. 33 years later, “What’ Up” still grates.

Fortunately, from there, Cardi gets back on her bullsh*t, and shows she’s willing to try new things. While “Outside” is a fairly standard Cardi trap track, “Pretty & Petty” steps out of Cardi’s comfort zone for what is ostensibly a BIA diss track, but is secretly the result of so much of the New Yorker’s recent time spent in LA. That Cardi’s first-ever West Coast club anthem doubles as a scathing dressing-down of one of her dwindling number of semi-worthy foes (at least until you-know-who decides to step back in the ring instead of sending proxies) is a testament to Cardi’s growing prowess as a songwriter and sound scout. I would love to see her continue to branch out.

I would also love, as I wrote in my review of Invasion Of Privacy, to see her excavate Latin American sounds and standards, because that’s where her best material resides. In 2018, it was the boogaloo-sampling “I Like It”; Here, it’s the bachata banger “Bodega Baddie,” which blasts through like a clarion call for any Spanish speakers in earshot to sashay their way to the nearest dance floor and hit those steps. It’s also all too short: We need a ten-minute remix with Romeo Santos and Luis Vargas, stat.

Cardi hits another half-dozen stops on her rap subgenre world tour, including airy soul-sampling trunk thump on “Better Than You” (think Curren$y and Wiz Khalifa’s “The Check Point” from How Fly), Memphis goth trap on “Errtime” (anything Three 6 Mafia), even classic New York boom-bap on “Imaginary Playerz.” But there’s the sense here that despite showing off so many facets, she could have maybe held some of these tracks back, as plenty of them end up saying the same things as the others, just in a different font. We love a versatile queen, but the back half drags in an effort to prove facts no serious music listener ever doubted.

These are minor quibbles, though. If the album’s a hair overlong, it’s only because Cardi is making up for the wait and indulging the impulse to show off as much of the work as possible. This is far more forgivable than it would be for someone like, say, Drake, who refuses to let 12 months pass without inflicting his presence on the pop music world, or the fleet of SoundCloud rappers who never really had anything to say in the first place. Cardi is not only the drama, she’s a one-of-a-kind, once-in-a-generation artist who can get away with a lot. She’s not only paid off fans’ patience but earned herself a lot of leeway for the next one.

Am I The Drama? is out now via Atlantic Records. Find more information here.

The 2026 Coachella headliners were revealed last week: Sabrina Carpenter, Karol G, and Justin Bieber. The festival, of course, is only next year, but Bieber is scoping the place out early in his new “Speed Demon” video.

The black-and-white clip was shared today (September 22) and it’s a lo-fi production, much like other Swag and Swag II visuals Bieber has shared. In this one, he roams around the empty festival grounds (the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California) as he dances and sings along with the song. The video was shot and edited by Rory Kramer, known for his work with artists like Chainsmokers and Shawn Mendes.

Watch the “Speed Demon” video above and find the Swag II cover art and tracklist below.

This year, Harry Styles has been seen just about everywhere in the world. The sightings have piled up. Earlier this month, he was at a wedding in Paris. In May, he was seen at the Vatican when Pope Leo was introduced. In March, he was in Japan to run the 2025 Tokyo Marathon.

The latest Styles sighting was also at a marathon: This past weekend, he was in Germany to run the Berlin Marathon. As Billboard notes, he reportedly used the pseudonym Sted Sarandos and wore a headband and sunglasses. Styles’ presence was confirmed by Richard Whitehead, a two-time gold medal winner at the Paralympic Games, who shared a photo of himself with Styles.

As for Styles’ time, he had a big improvement over his Tokyo run. In Japan, he finished in three hours and 24 minutes, while in Germany, his time was two hours, 59 minutes, and 13 seconds, crossing the coveted three-hours barrier. That put his pace at about 6 minutes and 50 seconds per mile. For reference, according to Runner’s World, the average marathon time for a man as of this year is about 4 hours and 22 minutes. Styles’ Berlin time would have put him in roughly the top 15 percent of finishers at this year’s Boston Marathon.

Meanwhile, fans continue to wait for Styles to follow his 2022 album Harry’s House.

Welcome to SNX DLX, your weekly roundup of the best sneakers to hit the internet. After two super-sized weeks, it’s nice to take a bit of a break with a short and sweet drop. The big brands must be giving our wallets a break — or they fear the rumored Travis Scott Jordan 1 drop absorbing all the attention from sneakerheads. Yup, we feel like that’s a lot more likely.

Outside of Travis Scott, we have some solid releases out of Adidas for you Spezial silhouette fans out there, and on Nike’s end, we have a Supreme link-up and a luchador-inspired Jordan drop. And that’s about it. But hey, if you’re a fan of the four different silhouettes dropping this week, this is looking like a pretty solid week. Let’s dive into the best sneakers you can buy right now.

Adidas Roelee SPZL F.C.

Price: $130

What we love about the Adidas Role Special F.C. is how much it looks like the classic design we’ve come to expect from the brand, filtered through a more urban edge. If Adidas’ sneakers are for the pitch and tennis court, this iteration of the sneaker is built for traversing through the streets. It’s like an Adidas sneaker combined with a Timberland boot.

The sneaker features a leather upper with synthetic textile lining and a semi translucent outsole in a steely grey color with gold foil Adidas branding.

The Adidas Roelee SPZL F.C. is out now for a retail price of $130. Pick up a pair at Adidas.

Adidas Handball Spezial Made in Germany

Price: $200

If our last pick gave you pause because you’re an Adidas purist, let us direct you toward this Made in Germany rendition of the Handball Spezial. This sneaker sees the ‘70s classic getting the luxury treatment with a premium leather upper, a plush leather lining, and classic design details over a gum sole. It’s simply an elevated take on the Spezial — every super fan of this shoe would be well served by a pair.

The Adidas Handball Special Made in Germany is out now for a retail price of $200. Pick up a pair via the Adidas CONFIRMED app.

Supreme/Nike Air Force 1 Low White/Black (2025)

Price: $124

Supreme is playing things incredibly safe with its latest Nike link-up, but you know what? We’re not mad at it! This is simply a dope looking AF-1 available in two classic colorways (white and black or black and white) with Supreme box logo branding. The sneaker sports a full-grain leather upper, embroidered details, and debossed branding.

The Supreme/Nike Air Force 1 Low White/Black is out now for a retail price of $124. Pick up a pair at Supreme.

Fragment x Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low

price: $155

All signs point to a “surprise” release of this sneaker on Saturday morning. This sneaker is the second collaboration between Travis Scott, Fragment and Air Jordan and sports a tumbled leather upper in sail, the classic TS backwards Swoosh, and Fragments custom blue tones.

Expect to take the L on this one unless you’re a bot. But a general SNKRS release is rumored to follow, so fingers crossed you don’t have to spend a fortune to cop a pair of these.

The Fragment x Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low is set to drop on September 20th for a retail price of $155. Pick up a pair at Travis Scott’s official website.

Air Jordan 3 Retro El Vuelo Summit White and Pine Green

Price: $230
A version of the Jordan 3 that honors Mexican lucha libre wrestlers? Sure, why not! It’s hard to complain when the sneaker looks this dope. Draped in the colors of the Mexican flag, this sneaker features a leather upper with textured overlays inspired by lucha libre design details and gold hardware for a slight luxury look.

The Air Jordan 3 Retro El Vuelo Summit White and Pine Green is set to drop on September 20th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $230. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app.

Doja Cat’s fourth studio album, Vie, is now just a week away from release. Doja’s gone all-in on the ’80s motif during the , with the multi-talented star sharing its release date with a French-speaking video clip, dropping an ’80s pop-inspired single, “Jealous Type,” and doubling down on the ’80s nostalgia with her MTV Video Music Awards performance. Even the deluxe edition announcement saw Doja nod to pop culture of the era, donning a Max Headroom-inspired persona.

Today, she shared the album’s tracklist, along with a snippet of “Gorgeous,” which will presumably be the next single. She posted the clip — which leaned even more into the New Wave aesthetic, referencing artwork specific to the time period — to Instagram. The clip even has a little VHS/CRT filter, giving it some authenticity in that respect.

Back in July, Doja tipped fans to the sound of the new album in an interview with V Magazine, saying, “I do want to be self-aware enough to admit the fact that this is a pop-driven project. I know that I can make pop music, and pop is just that it’s popular. It starts to become a bit of a thing that’s viewed as a sport by people who are just bystanders to it, who enjoy it, but maybe also don’t respect it or what it is, which is just music … They see it as if this is some kind of football for girls and gays.”

She’s not interested in competing, just in being herself, and judging from the stuff she’s put out so far, there won’t be much like her latest this year — and that’s just how she likes it. You can check out Vie the tracklist below.

Doja Cat Vie Tracklist

01. “Cards”
02. “Jealous Type”
03. “Aaahh Men!”
04. “Couples Therapy”
05. “Gorgeous”

Vie is due on 9/26 via RCA Records. You can find more info at DojaCat.com.

Outside of The Who, Pete Townshend’s biggest musical success is the 1980 single “Let My Love Open The Door,” which was his sole top-10 single on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. (That actually matches The Who’s career total of top-ten songs with one, as 1967’s “I Can See For Miles” was the band’s high point with its No. 9 peak.)

Now, Mitski has brought the song to present day: The soundtrack of the movie A Big Bold Beautiful Journey is out today (September 19) and it features Mitski’s cover of the song. In contrast to the upbeat original, Mitski’s recording is just her voice and piano, stripping the song back and slowing it down.

Shortly after the song’s release, Townshend told Rolling Stone it was “just a ditty” but later said in 1996, “It’s supposed to be about the power of God’s love. That when you’re in difficulty, whether it’s major or minor, God’s love is always there for you.” That was the year Townshend released the slower “E. Cola Mix” version of the song, which was used in many movies.

As for A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, the logline reads, “Some doors bring you to your past. Some doors lead you to your future. And some doors change everything. Sarah (Margot Robbie) and David (Colin Farrell) are single strangers who meet at a mutual friend’s wedding and soon, through a surprising twist of fate, find themselves on A Big Bold Beautiful Journey — a funny, fantastical, sweeping adventure together where they get to re-live important moments from their respective pasts, illuminating how they got to where they are in the present…and possibly getting a chance to alter their futures.”

Listen to Mitski’s cover of “Let My Love Open The Door” above.
