The Golden State Warriors are playing host to the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday night. It’s the first game the team will play since the death of beloved assistant coach Dejan Milojevic, who passed away last week due to a heart attack. Milojevic was 46 years old.

The NBA postponed a few Warriors games as the team attempted to process the loss, and unsurprisingly, it was an emotional scene in the Chase Center prior to tip. Golden State took some time prior to the game to pay tribute to their beloved assistant, which included a video that played on the jumbotron.

Steve Kerr grabbed a microphone and addressed those in attendance, and spoke about the coach and person that Milojevic was during his time on earth. And at the conclusion of his address to the crowd, he insisted that everyone in attendance gave “an ovation that he can hear up in heaven,” which led to thunderous applause from everyone who made their way into the building.

Every member of the Warriors wore special jerseys for the ceremony, as they replaced their names across the back with “Milojevic.” And before they could start playing, all of the players took them off and laid them down, one by one, on the seat dedicated to him on Golden State’s bench.

Bourbon & Beyond has range. Last year, the Louisville, Kentucky-based festival was headlined by the likes of Brandi Carlile, Bruno Mars, Billy Strings, Train, The Killers, Duran Duran, Hozier, The Black Keys, The Black Crowes, and The Avett Brothers. On Wednesday, January 24, Bourbon & Beyond unveiled an equally expansive 2024 lineup, featuring Zach Bryan, Dave Matthews Band, Tyler Childers, Neil Young, Beck, The National, and 21 rows’ worth of artists more on the poster.

“Get ready for the kickoff of Louisville’s most monumental music extravaganza, Bourbon & Beyond,” the festival captioned its Instagram announcement. “Celebrate 4 days of jam packed performances with more bands, more stages, and more fun than ever before. Passes are ON SALE NOW and start at just $1 down. Here’s the chef’s kiss—lock in your passes now at the lowest price, and your first payment won’t hit until February.”

The Bourbon & Beyond official website lists all ticketing options here. All of the options are available for purchase, except for the Weekend 4-Day Beyond VIP package, for which you’ll have to join the waitlist. Hotel packages are also available to book here, although some VIP packages have already sold out.

Burboun & Beyond will take place within the Highland Festival Grounds at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville, Kentucky from September 19 to September 22, 2024.

There wasn’t even supposed to be a second round of Big Little Lies. The original season, which bowed in 2017, was supposed to be a one-off, much like The White Lotus was a few years later. Then they came back for more. But will they do so again, for a third time? Last week HBO brass revealed they’re working on it. And if Season 3 does get off the ground, it might all be thanks to co-star Nicole Kidman’s teenage daughter.

In a new chat with Vogue Australia (in a bit caught by Entertainment Weekly), the Oscar-winning actress talked about watching the show with Sunday, who’s 15. That’s a little young to be watching such an adult program, but she, Kidman says, has a “very good understanding of things, and life, so she was hand-held through it.”

And heck, Sunday loved it — loved it so much she asked if there was more. When Kidman informed her daughter that was it, she wasn’t having it.

“‘No. There’s no more discussion. The third series has to happen…I’m sick of the talk. Sick of circling it. Just get it done,’” Kidman recalled Sunday saying. “You need a teenager to go, ‘Enough. Just do it.’”

Did that do the trick? Possibly. Reese Witherspoon, one of the other main cast members, also said at the Golden Globes the other weekend that they’re working on it. Still, as said HBO exec said, wrangling such a big name cast back together can be tricky.

“Where you have all these stars, you’ve got to get their schedules in line, we have to get it written,” said HBO/Max honcho Casey Bloys. “So, there’s a lot that needs to be done. It’s very early stages right now. The entire cast is doing shows and movies, and everybody’s very busy.”

But when/if the stars align again, it might be all the fault of Nicole Kidman’s one daughter.

On Wednesday, January 24, the Ohana Festival confirmed it will return to Doheny State Beach in Dana Point, California from September 27 to September 29, 2024. Now the question becomes whether the 2024 staging will be able to top the sentiment expressed in Uproxx‘s Philip Cosores 2023 review, entitled, “Ohana Festival Does Everything Just A Little Bit Better.” There are a few other logistical questions as well, like the one below.

When Do Tickets For Ohana Festival 2024 Come Out?

Ohana Festival hasn’t announced anything beyond the dates for its 2024 festival, but the Instagram announcement also instructed, “Sign up for SMS at the link in bio to be the first to know about the 2024 lineup, tickets, festival updates, and more.”

Ohana Festival’s official website features an easy prompt to sign up for SMS (for mobile numbers from US carriers only) or sign up for email updates. You can sign up for ticket-specific updates here.

For reference, the 2023 Ohana Festival lineup was announced on April 11, 2023 — the headliners were The Killers, Haim, Eddie Vedder, The Chicks, Foo Fighters, and Pretenders — and the presale began two days later. VIP tickets sold out immediately, while 3-Day General Admission tickets were sold out by April 16. So, if you’re serious about attending Ohana Festival, be ready to pounce — likely in mid-April.

ESPN’s main broadcast booth for NBA games is going through a midseason change. As a result of the news that Doc Rivers would return to the coaching ranks and take over for Adrian Griffin in Milwaukee, ESPN lost one of the two analysts that join Mike Breen to call its biggest games.

Fortunately, Doris Burke is still there, and a report indicates that ESPN might just roll with an alliterative Breen and Burke booth. The duo were on the call for the Worldwide Leader’s broadcast of the game between the Dallas Mavericks and the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday, and before things could tip off, Breen decided to give a pretty funny tribute to Rivers as he embarks on a new chapter in his lengthy coaching career.

“Our dear friend has decided that life as an NBA broadcaster is way too stressful, so he’s decided to opt for a less stressful job: an NBA head coach on a team that’s trying to win a championship,” Breen said. “We thank him for all his many weeks of service, and we wish him all the luck in the world.”

It’s an extremely funny tribute from Breen, who changed his tone and got serious by saying that “we’re a little heartbroken today, disappointed, but we’re thrilled for our friend because coaching is in his blood, it’s what he loves to do.” Burke then chimed in and spoke glowingly of her time working alongside Rivers, saying he “brought unbelievable energy every single day” as a member of their booth.

Wisp has offered another contender for a future “All The Best Indie Music From This Week” list here at Uproxx, seeing as her “Once Then We’ll Be Free” made an early November edition. On Wednesday, January 24, the 19-year-old shoegaze artist dropped “See You Soon,” a hypnotic single capturing the relatable infatuation of an elusive crush.

“‘See You Soon’ is about being infatuated with a person and wanting to spend all of your time with them, but the resolve at the end of the song represents knowing that person will not last and the feelings on their side aren’t as passionate as yours,” Wisp said in a statement.

The song is accompanied by an official visualizer, directed by Nick Vernet and Sophia Álverez. Wisp is wandering alone by the shore, but she’d rather be somewhere else.

“I’d trade hours for minutes with you,” she sings in the opening line. As described in a press release, “‘See you soon’ reinforces Wisp’s penchant for precise maximalism. The song’s verses gather momentum deliberately with a swirl of chorus-effects and glide guitar modulation so that when the inevitable explosion hits, it’s an indelible and cathartic release of tension.”

To that point, Wisp delivers a gut punch in the outro, singing, “To fall so fast for someone who may never last.”

Who’d a thought a movie about Barbie the doll would ever have its own awards page on Wikipedia? Certainly not Oliver Stone. On Tuesday last year’s biggest cinematic money-gobbler added a bunch more honors to its pile, amassing eight Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture. Alas, it missed out on two biggies, one for director Greta Gerwig and another for star Margot Robbie. (For what it’s worth, both were nominated in other categories.) The snubs prompted instant outrage. On Wednesday even a former FLOTUS and presidential candidate joined the angry mob.

Per The Daily Beast, no less than Hillary Clinton weighed in on the omissions. “Greta & Margot,” she wrote on Twiter/X. “While it can sting to win the box office but not take home the gold, your millions of fans love you. You’re both so much more than Kenough.”

After Gerwig and Robbie’s names were AWOL from the Oscar nominations, not only did fans voice their displeasure. So did fellow Barbie alumni, even fellow performers. America Ferrera and Ryan Gosling, both of whom scored noms, spoke out, as did — why not! — John Stamos, who went so far as to do a weird re-enactment of one of its scenes.

Back in 2018, Gerwig became only the fifth woman ever nominated for the Best Director Oscar, for her solo directorial feature debut Lady Bird. The actress/filmmaker wasn’t nominated for her follow-up, the 2019 take on Little Women, which also led to similar backlash. Gerwig is nominated this year alongside her cowriter/now-husband Noah Baumbach in the Adapted Screenplay category. Robbie, meanwhile, is one of the film’s producers, which means her name is on the Best Picture nomination.

The 2024 Academy Awards are set to unfold on March 11.

Earlier this month, Bonnaroo announced its 2024 lineup, headlined by Pretty Lights, Fisher, Post Malone, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Fred Again.. from Thursday, June 13, to Sunday, June 16. The festival will be staged on The Bannaroo Farm in Manchester, Tennessee, and it’s always one of music’s hottest tickets of the summer.

Is Bonnaroo 2024 Sold Out?

Good news! Tickets are still available for Bonnaroo 2024. According to the festival’s official website, there are four different ticket packages to choose from: 4-Day General Admission (starting at $435), 4-Day GA+ (starting at $695), 4-Day VIP (starting at $1,105), and 4-Day Platinum (starting at $4,155). Layaway plans are also available for each ticketing package, ranging from $25 down to $200 down.

Additionally, Bonnaroo offers camping and parking. Those prices range anywhere between $60 to $4,450.

For reference, tickets to Bonnaroo 2023 ranged from $299 to $1,250, but Bonnaroo explained the 2024 price hike in a statement last November, as excerpted below.

“Bonnaroo is incredibly important to each and every one of us who works to make it happen each year, and we know how special this experience is to you. We are proud of this community that we have built together. In the spirit of the Roo community and communication, we wanted to give you a heads up as we prepare for the annual presale.

Ticket prices are going to look different this year, and here’s why:

When you purchase your presale tickets, you’ll see a new price that includes all fees upfront — the only additions at checkout will be your chosen shipping option and your locally applicable sales tax.

For the first time in more than a decade, we’re also making a notable base price increase. This increase will still be far less than inflation over that time. The cost of producing this magical world has increased and our goal is to be as transparent with you as possible. To continue to deliver the quality experience you have to come to love and appreciate, prices need to go up just slightly.

The Farm is truly the most magical place on Earth and 2024 is going to be an incredible year. We can’t wait to see you next summer!”
