Somehow, we’ve already reached the portion of the year when we’re either recapping what happened or beginning to look forward to what is penciled in for the new year. Festivals, such as Bonnaroo and Welcome To Rockville, are slowly leaking out details about their 2024 events. Go ahead and lump Dreamville Festival into that group. On October 23, Dreamville Festival confirmed it will return to Raleigh, North Carolina on April 6 and 7, 2024. Below is everything else we know (so far) about what J. Cole, Ibrahim “Ib” Hamad, and the Dreamville crew have in store for 2024.
When Does Dreamville Festival’s 2024 Lineup Come Out?
The best we can do at the time of this writing is hypothesize based on Dreamville announcing its 2023 lineup in late February. It feels safe to assume that the 2024 lineup will arrive around the same time, considering the 2022 lineup’s unveiling happened in early March. The 2023 headliners were J. Cole, Drake, Burna Boy, and Usher.
When Do Dreamville Festival 2024 Tickets Go On Sale?
As of this writing, the Dreamville Fest official website does not disclose ticket prices. It feels like it’s worth noting that GA+, JV, Varsity, and MVP ticket packages are listed with prompts to “join the waitlist,” while General Admission does not have that designation. There are also hotel options available to book here.
The 2023 ticket prices ranged from $249 (to start) for general admission to $1,499 MVP VIP packages.
Dreamville Festival 2024 will take place on April 6 and 7, 2024, in Raleigh, North Carolina. Find more information here.

Some relationship “betrayals” hit right to the core. Like Netflix cheating, where one partner secretly watches the next episode of a show they had been watching with their significant other.
Or perhaps even worse—when one partner eats delicious food without telling their spouse.
This was apparently the sin committed by wife Shelby to her husband Dylan, a married content creator duo better known online as Shelb and Dyl.
And Dylan’s melodramatic reaction to the devastating news that she ate at his favorite Mexican food restaurant—without him— is pure relatable comedy.
“I have a confession,” Shelby sheepishly says in the viral clip. Though wary, Dylan still retorts with, “whatever it is, I love you.”
“…I don’t know if you’ll forgive me after I tell you what I did,” Shelby continues. That’s when Dylan’s eyes go wide,
“How bad could it be?” he asks, growing more concerned.
That’s when Shelby makes her confession that she ate her husband’s favorite cuisine in secret.
First, as with most cases of grief, comes denial..
“No you didn’t” Dylan says, in utter shock and disbelief.
Then come the other stages. Anger (“my belly could be full of Mexican right now!”), bargaining (“I realize I can be a little stingy with our money but MEixnac’s my favorite and you know that”) depression (wailing “aaaaah!” with his head in his hands). And finally…acceptance.
Watch the drama unfold below. If anything, just to hear Dylan say “you’re hurtin’ my heart” in a thick southern accent.
But at least with all the pain she caused, Shelby was kind enough to bring him leftovers. Sadly, that might not be enough to repair the relationship. For when she asks if Dylan can forgive her, he soberly replies “I don’t know if I can.”
Most viewers couldn’t help but empathize with Dylan a bit, saying they would feel the same way if their partner committed such a heinous act.
Despite this little bump in the road, Shelby and Dylan seem to have a pretty wholesome relationship, with plenty of videos showing how much fun they have with one another and making each other laugh.
So it feels safe to say that Dylan will, in fact, be able to forgive…though he may never forget.
It has been a while since fans heard from the elusive Frank Ocean, but after he recently broke radio silence, some fans might be wondering if he’s planning on releasing a new album soon.
Is Frank Ocean Recording New Music?
He must be. On Wednesday night (November 8), he posted an Instagram Story that appeared to contain a snippet of a new song — the first unheard music he’s shared with fans since December 2021, when he played a nine-minute song on his Apple Music show, Blonded Radio. This could be the first indication that more is in store, hyping up some fans for the possibility of a follow-up to 2016’s Blonde. So…
Does Frank Ocean Have An Album On The Way?
Back in April, Frank gave fans the most recent update on a potential album, which is that it exists — but not really(?). During his… “controversial” Coachella set, Frank said, “I want to talk about why I’m here because it’s not because of a new album. It’s because… not that there’s not a new album, just like… but there’s not right now.” Which clears everything right up. If there is, in fact, a new album coming, though, Frank will have plenty to address on it.
What Is Frank Ocean’s New Album About?
To be honest, there’s no telling, but with everything that has happened in the last seven years since Blonde, there’s no shortage of inspiration. We’ve had a global pandemic, an attempted insurrection, the rise and fall of crypto, and the emergence of AI. Black folks reclaimed dance music again, and we all know he has a vested interest in the ball culture that Beyoncé mined so expertly on Renaissance. Frank has also experienced personal turmoil; during Coachella, he talked about the 2020 death of his brother Ryan in a car crash, something that could have affected his music plans.
When Can We Expect A Release Date For Frank Ocean’s New Album?
Whenever Frank feels like revealing one. For what it’s worth, he’s never been fond of the traditional structures of the music industry, releasing Blonde literally a day after the visual album Endless without so much as a cryptic social media post to promote it.
Will Frank Ocean’s New Album Have Features?
Again, there’s little concrete information to go on here. However, judging by Frank’s past output and vast music industry connections, just about anyone from Beyoncé to Tyler The Creator could appear on a future project. While Endless and Blonde were both mostly solo affairs, his debut album Channel Orange contained features from André 3000, Earl Sweatshirt, and John Mayer. As a songwriter, he’s worked with Brandy, John Legend, Justin Bieber, and more, so he could easily call in a few favors.
Danielle Bregoli, or, as most might know her under the stage name, Bhad Bhabie, rose to viral notability after fighting with her mother as a teenager on Dr. Phil. Her catchphrase about telling haters to “catch her outside” led to her trying to craft a music career. (David Spade even appeared in one of her videos.)
Back in 2021, Bhad Bhabie turned 18 — and decided to celebrate by joining OnlyFans just a few days after her birthday (as one does). As it turns out, slightly weird men were waiting, and she profited immensely from their creepy energies. She now revealed in an Instagram story just how much she earned in the months following, with her earnings between April 2021 and November 2021 being around $38 million before taxes.
During an interview last year for Sundae Conversation With Caleb Pressley, Bhad Bhabie was also asked about who she thinks her subscribers are and if they should “be in jail.” (She answered the question with a simple “Yeah.”)
“I feel like they’re 20 to 40 years old, probably like a white man who’s married with like six kids — definitely has a daughter my age,” she continued, making it somehow even creepier if they do. While it’s unclear how much she still earns, she does charge $23.99 per subscription, according to Complex.
This year, Bonnaroo Music And Arts Festival staged Foo Fighters, Kendrick Lamar, and Odesza as headliners in Manchester, Tennessee, and the annual festival will return to The Farm from June 13 to June 16, 2024. On Thursday morning, November 9, Bonnaroo confirmed its presale will begin on Thursday, November 16, at 10 a.m. CST, and future attendees can sign up for the presale here. The natural follow-up question is, what artists are festival-goers signing up to see perform? Below is all of the information we have (so far) about Bonnaroo 2024.
When Does The Bonnaroo 2024 Lineup Come Out?
As of this writing, Bonnaroo’s organizers have not announced any lineup news. But for reference, the Bonnaroo Music And Arts Festival 2023 lineup was revealed on January 10, 2023, so keep your eyes peeled at the top of the new year.
How Much Are Bonnaroo 2024 Tickets?
Tickets to the 2023 festival ranged from $299 to $1,250 (as noted by Consequence at the time), but there is an increase for the 2024 tickets slate. As per the festival’s website, 4-Day General Admission tickets start at $355, 4-Day GA+ tickets start at $695, 4-Day VIP tickets start at $900, and 4-Day Platinum tickets start at $4,155. The good news? No hidden fees. On Wednesday, November 8, Bonnaroo explained the price hike. Read the festival’s full statement 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!”
Where Can I Buy Tickets?
All of the answers reside on Bonnaroo’s official website. There, you’ll find a prompt to sign up for texts (for US carries only) or emails regarding the November 16 presale. Additionally, there is the option get ahead and book your hotel here.
What do you get when you combine one of the most beloved food reviewers on TikTok, Keith Lee, with a burgeoning restaurant scene that is famous for its fresh takes on southern food made by talented young chefs? Chaos apparently. Things got a little wild after Keith Lee rolled through ATL, Georgia, and had a less-than-stellar experience at a number of restaurants. Lee has made a career out of reviewing food spots primarily in Las Vegas, where he’s based, but since he continues to grow a following (currently he has nearly 15 million followers on TikTok) he’s started to branch out to other cities including New Orleans, Detroit, Chicago, and New York.
Generally, Keith Lee coming to your city is good for business — once Lee runs through and highlights a restaurant, his fans follow, resulting in an explosion of business. But after a few negative experiences at Atlanta hotspots like the Atlanta Breakfast Club and The Real Milk and Honey, the city of Atlanta, Lee’s fans, Lee himself, and random people across the internet are up in arms about Atlanta’s dining culture.
Here is what happened.
What Happened When Keith Lee Visited Atlanta?
As is typical of Lee, he talked about each establishment he visited exuding good vibes — even when he wasn’t a fan of the customer service. Lee’s journey through Atlanta began at the Atlanta Breakfast Club, where the reviewer was first introduced to the “unique” rules of the Atlanta dining scene.
“The customer service was interesting,” begins Lee, “while the people were nice the rules that they had set were very unique to me.” Those rules included needing the entire party to be sitting (two people from Lee’s party had stepped out) before any orders could be placed, including receiving water, and only one single order for the whole table could be placed at one time, meaning if the party decided at a later time to add anything additional it literally couldn’t be done.
Lee was also charged $1 for butter, which got many in the comments talking.
“I understand that those are their rules. Unique to me, but it is what it is,” says Lee.
For the most part, Lee’s review of the Atlanta Breakfast Club leans positive and at that point, he seemed genuinely excited to explore what else Atlanta had to offer. By the time Lee had visited another Atlanta hotspot, The Real Milk & Honey, the real drama started to develop.
To keep himself anonymous, Lee sometimes sends his family to a restaurant to pick up an order for him, but at The Real Milk & Honey, his family was turned away at the door by the restaurant citing “deep cleaning” as a reason for closing early, despite several diners still being inside and picking up food.
After Lee himself walked in, The Real Milk & Honey recognized him and offered to feed him and his family, to which Lee “respectfully declined.”
“I’m a normal person. I pay for my food like everybody else, I walk in spots like everybody else. We are all normal people. Respectfully if you not going to do it then, don’t do it now, god bless you,” says Lee in his review.
As you might imagine, this led to a flood of negative reviews on The Real Milk & Honey’s Yelp page, presumably from Lee fans who took it upon themselves to criticize the restaurant they had never been to. To be fair, this wasn’t Lee’s intention, and in the video itself, he states:
I am going to make this very clear… I do no support, condone, or agree with tearing down these businesses. While we personally may not have the best customer service experience, that does not mean you will have the same experience. That also does not mean go on Twitter and tear these businesses down… The only reason I’m even making this is to share my authentic and real experience like I always do, I don’t mean no harm, I don’t have no malicious intent, but I always say I’m going to be 100% honest and that comes with the good and the not so good.
Later, Lee attempted to eat at Kandi Burruss’ Old Lady Gang restaurant.
Again, Lee sent his family in to order food only for them to be told the wait time would be over an hour. A few minutes later when Lee entered the restaurant, he was greeted and told they could sit him in five minutes. Once again, Lee respectfully declined. This once again led to a flood of negative reviews.
Eventually, all this negativity came back around to Lee and his family, who began receiving death threats in response to the bad press some of these Atlanta restaurants were receiving, with some accusing Lee of trying to tear down businesses. This led to a response video from Lee:
“Me and my family will postpone touring in other cities if it’s going to be like this. Every review not going to be the best, I’m going to be 100% honest. If you want me to come, please understand I will be honest,” says Lee, noting that the positive experiences he had in Atlanta were greatly overshadowed by all the negativity.
One of the voices accusing Lee of bringing negativity to Atlanta came from former wide receiver Chad Johnson, aka Chad OchoCinco, on his popular sports podcast “Nightcap with Unc & Ocho.”
In a debate over Lee’s visit with Shannon Sharpe, Ocho remarked “I don’t like the fact of what he’s doing… you know how hard it is for us to even get in the food industry and to have our own restaurants? … It’s hard enough for us as it is.” And remarked that he himself had never experienced bad service in Atlanta.
This led to a detailed response video from Lee, where the reviewer defended his brand.
“You said I should only give positive reviews. The reason I don’t believe that will work is because it would be inauthentic… If I was to be inauthentic and you waited in a three-hour wait time and you got to the front and the food was trash, who were you gonna be mad at?” Concluding with “This is my last time speaking on anything that has to do with Atlanta. I want to get back to the fun, get back to eating, get back to touring, get back to going to good restaurants.”
What This Means For The Atlanta Dining Scene
Lee’s experience had many people pointing to the faults of the Atlanta food scene. From regular diners:
I think the fact that his tour didn’t get this negative until he visited Atlanta should tell us everything we need to know about that place. https://t.co/0rbUnTL9FX
Keith Lee has been peacefully doing his reviews this whole time, but left Atlanta with death threats. This city is becoming harder and harder to defend
To celebrities like Cardi B, who took to her Instagram Live to talk about the event:
“I feel like Atlanta restaurants, they don’t like to make money… I feel bad for Atlanta residents. Thank you, Jesus, I’m famous, but even me being famous, it’s like a hassle.”
Still, Lee’s presence in Atlanta has some restaurants rethinking the way they do business, with The Real Milk & Honey posting an update to their rules on their personal Instagram account.
While it seems like Lee’s presence in Atlanta was unfortunately negative for everyone involved, it’ll be interesting to see if things in the Atlanta dining scene change.
Daneshevskaya, the project of songwriter Anna Beckerman, writes music that feels like a comforting hug. Much of her songs pay homage to her family, so it’s understandable why her music can be soft and soothing. While writing her latest project, Long Is The Tunnel (which is out Friday on Winspear), Beckerman found herself revisiting letters from her grandmother, who sadly passed away before she could finish the writing process.
Like her, Berckerman’s grandmother was a poet and worked with children, which is why the songs on her 7-track project are infused with childlike curiosity. Offerings like “Somewhere In The Middle” and “Roy G Biv” provide confessional snapshots and wistful instrumentals that fit in nicely with Beckerman’s equally dreamy vocals.
Ahead of the release of Long Is The Tunnel, Daneshevskaya sits down with Uproxx to talk Frank Ocean, working with pre-schoolers, and staying curious in our latest Q&A.

Going into the highly anticipated Invincible Season 2, fans began wildly speculating that Mark (Steven Yeun) would turn evil after a trailer showed him making an announcement to the people of Earth that he and his father Omni-Man (J.K. Simmons) would be taking over the planet together. It was a stunning reveal considering Mark just spent the Season 1 finale getting brutally pummeled after refusing to join his dad in enslaving the planet for the Viltrumite empire.
Heading into the Season 2 premiere, Reddit theories were flying that Mark/Invincible would ultimately turn evil, but only after trying to resist becoming his father. Mark’s violent tendencies have been on full display, so the seeds are there for a heel turn.
However, when the premiere arrived, the episode threw a twist at fans. The announcement was from an alternate universe where Mark didn’t resist Omni-Man after he revealed the truth about his mission on Earth. Instead, Mark joined his father and fans began speculating that Invincible could become an even far worse threat than his all-powerful dad.
“I feel like evil variations of Mark are a far more sinister level of evil than even Omni-Man,” a Reddit user wrote. “I say this because Mark grew up human, with Earth being his world. Omni-Man grew up doing what he does and it being normal. Even his wife is a pet to him. Mark paralyzing Eve and ‘practicing on protesters’ is just another level because he’s not far removed from humanity at all but is still the way he is. It’s dark.”
As of this writing, the real Mark is still a good guy. He’s working with Cecil (Walton Goggins) again and determined to prove he’s a hero who’s not like his dad. However, the Season 2 villain Angstrom Levy (Sterling K. Brown) revealed an interesting truth during the premiere. In every other reality, Mark joined his father and enslaved the Earth. Only in the show’s current reality did Mark resist, but for how long?
Invincible Season 2 streams new episodes Thursday night on Prime Video.
Honeyland Festival is returning to Sugar Land, Texas this weekend, with performances being held on November 11 and 12. The lineup also has some pretty cool acts not to miss.

ASAP Rocky went to court yesterday for a preliminary hearing in the shooting case against him. There, ASAP Relli, the former ASAP Mob member who accused Rocky of shooting him in the hand in 2021, testified that Rocky told him, “I’ll kill you right now,” before opening fire four times.
Police also raided Rocky’s home in Los Angeles, reportedly finding a gun, but not the one used in the alleged shooting. Police also said they secured footage of the shooting, providing enough evidence to officially charge the rapper for assault.
Relli later sued Rocky and his lawyer Joe Tacopina for defamation, arguing that statements Tacopina made about Relli “trying to get money from Rocky” constituted slander.
According to TMZ, Tacopina cross-examined Relli, trying to expose inconsistencies in his story and questioning why he delayed going to law enforcement. Relli insisted that he only waited to report the alleged attack for fear of retaliation. He also denied that the report was a money play, while detailing how exactly the ASAP Mob members fell out.
