By the time Coachella officially opens their gates to gleeful music lovers this spring, it will have been three years since the last time the Indio, California festival took place. As one of the more buzzworthy music events of the year, there had been much speculation about which performers organizers would book to headline the anticipated 2022 event. Rumors alleged that musicians like Billie Eilish and Ye would be invited to headline in addition to Swedish House Mafia, but fans weren’t sure who the fourth closing act would be. On Wednesday, Coachella organizers reportedly confirmed that, along with Billie Eilish, Ye, and Swedish House Mafia, Harry Styles will be invited to headline their 2022 iteration.
The report comes through Billboard, which claims to have received confirmation from a source at Coachella. Apparently, a poster was making the rounds on the internet which alleged headliners Ye, Eilish, Styles, and Swedish House Mafia.
It wouldn’t be the first time some of the musicians have taken the Coachella stage. Eilish performed music from her debut album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? at Coachella 2019. Meanwhile, Ye was invited to take over a nearby field to share an installment of his Sunday Service gospel event.
Coachella 2022 will once again take place over two weekends to accommodate for the massive number of music fans who hope to attend. It kicks off the weekend of April 15 to 17 and continues the next weekend, April 22 to 24. Tickets sold out pretty much as soon as they were made available, but fans can still join a waitlist in hopes of securing a ticket.
Through nearly the midpoint of the 2021-22 NBA season, Kyrie Irving has yet to play a home game for the Brooklyn Nets and has suited up for just two games in total. All of it stems from Irving’s refusal to get vaccinated and comply with New York City’s mandate for indoor events.
Yet according to Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News, Irving could play home games if the Nets wish to pay a price. Bondy articulated the financial penalties for anyone who fails to comply “with The Key to NYC, as outlined in Bill de Blasio’s executive order.”
Kyrie Irving could be available in Nets home games if Brooklyn is willing to pay a ‘small fine’, per @SBondyNYDN
Nets owner Joe Tsai has a net worth of more than $8 billion dollars. At most, the Nets have 36 home games remaining, including the playoffs. The fines would amount to fewer than $180,000 if Brooklyn opted to immediately begin allowing Irving to play home games.
The Nets, one has to presume, were probably already aware of these stipulations and it seems unlikely things will change imminently. However, the chances he is fully available for the playoffs doesn’t seem implausible. Merely issuing a small financial penalty to a billionaire for enabling the refusal of public health protocols amid a pandemic is pretty futile, albeit unsurprising.
Whether Brooklyn, Tsai, and Irving opt to incur those fines is unknown, though. Regardless, this adds a new wrinkle to a long-standing storyline and is worth monitoring moving forward.
Euphoria is back! After two very depressing — but compelling — single character-driven special episodes, the full cast of Euphoria has finally returned after an almost three-year break. We’re only one episode in but we’ve already been given more drama and gasp-worthy moments than most shows can muster in a full season, and while everyone flocks to the show for its high drama, it’s the style that keeps us highly addicted.
I’m not just talking about the way the show is shot — though the move to use actual Kodak film stock for the first episode was beautiful — I’m talking about the amazing outfit inspiration that the show is able to deliver without fail from scene to scene. From Fez’s head-to-toe Palace drip to Maddy’s neck-breaking cut-out dress, everyone was rocking their best looks Sunday night, which probably has you itching to update your own personal wardrobe.
That’s why every week we’ll be giving you the run-down on who wore what and where to buy it for yourself in our new series, Euphoria Fit Watch. We’re not talking about look-alike outfits, we’re talking about the real deal and searching out the actual brands worn by our favorite characters. I will try to keep this series as spoiler-free as possible, but if you’re seeking out outfits for an episode you’ve never seen I have to ask… why?
Here are the latest episodes’ best-dressed.
Fezco — Palace Cable Knit
HBO
Everyone’s favorite drug dealer, Angus Cloud’s Fezco is a certified streetwear king. Last season we saw him rocking a whole lot of Supreme (even during the recap!) and this year he’s updated things a bit with a head-to-toe outfit supplied by London-based streetwear label Palace. We’ve analyzed the episode so deeply that we caught not only Palace branded sweat pants, but underwear too (we take this…maybe a little too seriously?).
But the true star of the show was that dope teal cable knit sweater. The sweater is from Palace’s recent Spring Summer 2021 line and is readily available on aftermarket sites like StockX. Move fast though, we’re sure the resale price of this sweater is going to start soaring for anyone that’s trying to cop a little of Fez’s energy.
Buy the Palace Cable Knit here. It’s also available in cream and blue.
Maddy — Akna Damien Black Mini Dress
HBO
Maddy has always been Euphoria’s fashion queen and she did not disappoint in this season’s first episode when she rolled up to the party in this head-turning cut-out by Akna. The dress is handmade to order in Los Angeles and composed of polyester and spandex, providing four-way stretch with a back zipper closure in an extra small to xx large size range.
To complete the outfit she also wore matching Akna gloves, which really help to pull the outfit together. The dress has yet to be released but is currently available for pre-order on the Akna website.
Jules killed it in last weekend’s episode, from her eye make-up to her hairstyle to her heavily layered fit, she was easily this week’s best dressed. Sorry Fez, you’ll always be our streetwear king.
We aren’t going to get into the intricacies of Jules’ full look, but the core of her outfit consisted of a Sheer Beaded Halter by Nihl over a Lavender Maroske Peech Geotard, and an off-white Gamine Skirt by Orseund Iris.
Buy the Nihl halter here, the Orseund Iris skirt here, but unfortunately, if you want the Maroske Peech leotard, you’re going to have to do some Depop hunting.
Travis — Amiri Playboy Bunny-print Silk Shirt
HBO
Aside from Fezco and his little brother Ash Tray, the male cast of Euphoria… just doesn’t have style (we’re looking at you Nate). But this week brought some new characters, one of which is the Maddy-obsessed Travis (played by Lil Meech) who was absolutely dripping with swagger.
At the episode’s big party, Travis was seen rocking a silk Playboy Bunny shirt by Amiri. The shirt features a graphic all-over print with a notched collar and is made in Italy of 100% silk. It is… quite pricey.
Pick up the Amiri Playboy Bunny Silk Shirt at FarFetch.
Cassie — CB Ella Mini Dress And Prada Sandals Combo
HBO
The internet collectively loves Cassie the way we all hate Nate — without question — even after the events of last week’s episode. While Maddie was rocking the edgier dress, Cassie kept things simple with a ruched blue mini dress and white Prada sandal combo. The mini dress comes from the House of CB and is made of a blend of mesh and satin with a body-contouring fit in an extra small to extra large size run.
The sandals are Prada Appliquéd Patent Leather in white and are unfortunately sold out across the internet.
Pick up the CB Ella Mini Dress here, as for the sandals, try your luck on eBay!
In 2019, New Zealand’s Aldous Harding released a brilliant album of nuanced folk music in Designer. The corresponding tour was one for the ages, as Harding remains one of the few artists in our attention deficit world who can render an entire concert crowd silent in awe of her impeccable performances. Today, Harding released new music, announced the new album Warm Chris, and a robust tour schedule.
The new album will be out on March 25th and the new single “Lawn,” is a shimmering reflection of Harding’s unique spirit as a musician. The track rolls along with the same grassy, groovy feeling that makes her such a mesmerizing artist. The song and album are both produced by John Parish, who along with Harding’s previous two albums, produced Dry Cleaning’s standout New Long Leg, and has worked extensively with PJ Harvey.
Watch the video and listen to “Lawn” above and check out the album artwork and tracklist for Warm Chris below. 2022 tour dates are also listed below with tickets now on sale here.

After conquering the Australian theater stage as an actor, Grace Cummings is now ready to make her mark as a songwriter on her self-produced sophomore album, Storm Queen. Many of the songs on Storm Queen were captured in just a few takes, showcasing Cummings’ raw songwriting and captivating vocal performances. While her debut album Refuge Cove garnered some buzz upon its release in 2019, Storm Queen is surely to take things to the next level for Cummings as she plots her debut appearances in the United States.
Ahead of the new album’s release, Cummings sat down to talk Canadian tuxedoes, Beck, and Scotland in the latest Indie Mixtape 20 Q&A.
What are four words you would use to describe your music?
Simple. Hard. Light. Dark.
It’s 2050 and the world hasn’t ended and people are still listening to your music. How would you like it to be remembered?
Great that we’re still going… I suppose if it’s being listened to then I would hope that what I have written is still relevant and might manage to connect with people of all kinds.
What’s your favorite city in the world to perform?
Edinburgh or Glasgow.
Who’s the person who has most inspired your work, and why?
I think It’d have to be my friend Leah Senior… Without her I wouldn’t have had the encouragement to begin in the first place.
Where did you eat the best meal of your life?
Notto, Sicily.
What album do you know every word to?
That’s a long list…
What was the best concert you’ve ever attended?
I’d have to choose between Neil Young and Crazy Horse or the GZA.
What is the best outfit for performing and why?
Mmmmm anything you’re comfortable in so you can move around I suppose… Maybe a Canadian tuxedo…
What’s your most frequently played song in the van on tour?
Let’s just say Odelay by Beck… It was the last album I gifted to somebody and I reckon it’s a pretty perfect album.
What’s the story behind your first or favorite tattoo?
My first tattoo was done by my friend Country Tim in his bedroom while he was still figuring out how to do them… The tattoo itself doesn’t really have much meaning behind it.
What’s one piece of advice you’d go back in time to give to your 18-year-old self?
You’re insane but it might work out for you if you embrace it.
What’s the last show you went to?
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard.
What movie can you not resist watching when it’s on TV?
Bridget Jones.
What would you cook if Obama were coming to your house for dinner?
I dunno, I’d cook him the same things that I’d cook anybody else.
Storm Queen is out January 14 via ATO Records. Pre-order it here.
Finneas may be fresh out of a very successful 2021, but that hasn’t stopped him from sharing even more content. Not only did he drop his debut album Optimist, but he also received Grammy nominations across all four major categories, including Best New Artist, Record Of The Year, Album Of The Year, and Song Of The Year. Now giving fans more insight into his creative vision around his debut album, Finneas shares a visual alongside his poignant track “The Kids Are All Dying.”
The visual was directed by Philip Andelman, who has worked with the likes of Rihanna and John Mayer in the past. Shot in Los Angeles, it sees Finneas breaking into a jewelry shop and causing a scene. The song itself speaks to how exhausting the world can feel at times. As Finneas is seen smashing the glass encasing expensive necklaces, he sings of people being concerned with frivolous things while politicians are lying, schools are on lockdown, and kids are dying.
Alongside the visual’s release, Finneas offered a statement behind the meaning of the track. “Even if we are living through a time of chaos and uncertainty, the human experience is never going to exclude love, sex, fun, leisure, and adventure,” he said. “If you’re in love, you’re going to write a love song. It’s how the brain works.”
Watch Finneas’ “The Kids Are All Dying” video above.
Optimist is out now via Interscope Records. Get it here.

If there is one thing the Far Cry series is known for, it’s the bombastic and charismatic villains who typically dominate the plots of the games — most recently, Giancarlo Esposito put on an incredible performance as Anton Castillo. While all villains of the Far Cry series are popular in their own right, there might not be anyone that is quite as well-known as Pagan Min from Far Cry 4.
With an iconic design and maybe the most compelling personality in the franchise, Min is maybe the perfect definition of a villain in Far Cry. This is why it wasn’t a huge surprise to see him featured in the series of DLC for Far Cry 6. In this DLC, players will get the opportunity to play as Min and learn more about his backstory, personality, and really dig into the character. The DLC even features co-op where only one person needs the DLC to play it, so hop in with a friend and go on an explosive adventure together.

Even before a global pandemic knocked the education world on its hindquarters, some school systems were already hard-hit by budget issues — districts like Philadelphia providing some of the best examples. However, local celebrities are pitching in to make a difference. Today, Philadelphian rapper Meek Mill, along with hometown comic hero Kevin Hart and 76ers co-owner Michael Rubin, announced plans to donate $15 million to 110 Philadelphia schools for the 2022-2023 school year.
The $15 million figure marks a huge jump from the last big donation Meek and Rubin made in 2020 when they created a $2 million scholarship fund to help students through the pandemic and coinciding lockdowns. It also sees the partners following through on a commitment they made in 2019. During an interview on The Breakfast Club, Rubin said, “We care about education a lot. I don’t know if you guys saw, Meek and I have been talking a lot about education. We’re actually gonna commit, between Meek and I in Pennsylvania, millions of dollars to Pennsylvania schools this year.”
Kirby and the Forgotten Land is a game that fans of the franchise have been asking for basically ever since the pink puff ball first went 3D on the Nintendo 64. They didn’t want a 2D adventure with 3D graphics, they wanted a full-on 3D world that Kirby could explore, battle, and copy his way through. So when it was revealed that the next Kirby game would be a 3D adventure, we were, of course, excited.
On Wednesday, Nintendo dropped a follow-up trailer for Kirby and the Forgotten Land that not only showed off some more gameplay of the upcoming 3D adventure, but also gave us some pretty important bits of information. For starters, the game will be released on March 25. While that’s expected to be a strong month full of heavyweight games, Kirby will fit right in, especially now that we know this game is also going to feature co-op. The Kirby games have always been really fun to play with friends, and we’re thrilled to know that tradition will continue with the next installment.
