Chance The Rapper is just days away from releasing his long-awaited comeback album, Star Line, and now, he’s announced the dates for the accompanying road show. The And We Back Tour will hit 15 cities from late September to mid-October, with stops in Houston, Atlanta, Toronto, New York, Los Angeles, and of course, his native Chicago.

Chance’s last tour would have been for his “debut album,” The Big Day, but was delayed so he could spend time with his family and ultimately canceled due to both pandemic shutdowns and the lukewarm reception to that album. Since then, he’s hosted a handful of shows celebrating the tenth anniversary of his breakout mixtape Acid Rap, but otherwise mainly focused on putting out Star Line singles as he finished up the album.

He also held a series of Star Line Gallery art shows, displaying his personal favorite artists’ works while playing fans the album. The last listening experience before the album rollout began in earnest was at Art Basel in Miami last year, and now, fans around the country will finally hear what he’s been cooking up — and get to experience it live.

You can see below for the tour dates. Tickets go on sale Friday, August 15 (the same day Star Line drops), with presales this Tuesday, August 12. You can find more info on that at chancestuff.com

Florence Welch Screams At A Hole In The Ground To Seemingly Tease Something From Florence + The Machine

Florence And The Machine Welch 2019

We got a touch of new Florence + The Machine last year, when the group was featured on “Florida!!!” from Taylor Swift’s album The Tortured Poets Department. The band’s latest proper album, though, is 2022’s Dance Fever. Now it looks like that might be changing soon, as a teaser video shared this morning (August 11) may indicate.

The clip shows Florence Welch on her hands and knees in an overgrown field, wearing a red dress and digging away at a spot in the ground. The video then cuts to a hole-POV shot of Welch looking into it before she repeatedly and intensely screams.

On a perhaps-relevant note, in a 2022 interview with British Vogue, Welch said, “I feel like as a female artist, you spend a lot of time screaming into the void for people to take you seriously, in a way that male artists just don’t have to do. [I was] so tired of trying to prove myself to people who are never going to get it.”

In a more recent British Vogue chat, she said of her Swift collab, “I almost didn’t think of the scale of it. There’s the sort of bigness of [Taylor Swift the phenomenon], and then there’s the Taylor I spend time with in the studio, who is just the sweetest and most down to earth. […] We had such a fun time. And then when it came out I was like, ‘Oh, sh*t!’”

The Best Music Festivals Still To Come In 2025

Music Festival Preview 2025

The Uproxx Music Festival And Tour Preview series is sponsored by Priceline, where music fans can find deals on flights, hotels, and more.

Festival season is in full swing. With two of America’s behemoths, Coachella and Lollapalooza, in the rearview mirror, it’s time to examine the best of what’s left on the 2025 festival calendar. There are plenty of excellent, uniquely tailored fests left that cater to music fans with a variety of tastes to fill out the rest of your summer and early autumn. We here at Uproxx sifted through the noise to give the best of what’s left.

Shaky Knees Festival

Where: Piedmont Park, Atlanta, GA
When: Sept. 19-21

Since its 2013 inception, Shaky Knees has grown into one of the country’s preeminent rock festivals. This year is no exception. Taking place in Piedmont Park in Midtown, the festival’s footprint is perfect for music fans to hop from stage to stage seamlessly, nursing a Sweetwater while relaxing under a Magnolia tree. The powerhouse lineups include My Chemical Romance’s only American festival headlining date, and a blend of young and old with IDLES, Spoon, the Marias, Lenny Kravitz, Pixies, the Backseat Lovers, rising Third Man-approved garage rockers Die Spitz, Johnny Marr, Public Enemy, and rabble-rousing punks the Lambrini Girls.

Portola Fest

Where: Pier 80, San Francisco, CA
When: Sept. 20-21

Not to be outdone by Outside Lands, the Goldenvoice-promoted event features one of the more eclectic bills of festival season. Alternative dance giants like LCD Soundsystem, Chemical Brothers, Duke Dumont, combined with Gen Z favorites the Dare and Magdalena Bay, and turn of the century pop icon Christina Aguilera, give Portola a bill unlike anything out there. Plus, nestled on Pier 80 during the Bay Area’s best month for weather, the two-day event is the place to dance yrslf clean while basking under the glow of the Pacific sun.

Riot Fest

Where: Douglass Park, Chicago, IL
When: Sept. 19-21

Celebrating its 20th year following a year that saw it deal with its fair share of issues (mainly on-again, off-again location battles with the city), Riot Fest roars back with one of its strangest lineups – in a good way! Where else can you see Jack White rock, Weezer revive its Blue Album show while the “new” Sex Pistols, Jawbreaker, Marky Ramone Plays the Ramones, and Bad Religion keep the fest’s punk cred? Add to that a stage curated by “Weird Al” Yankovic (!!!) and outside-the-box bookings of the Mike Love-led Beach Boys and Hanson (Yes, that’s right, “MmmBop” Hanson), Rico Nasty, and the Linda Lindas kicking ass, and you have one of the best fests of 2025.

Louder Than Life

Where: Highland Festival Grounds, Louisville, KY
When: Sept. 18-21

Long the centerpiece of the Danny Wimmer Presents empire, this year’s Louder Than Life is easily one of the best heavy festivals in the world. Spread across six stages with 160 bands performing, highlights include the resurgent Deftones, Bring Me the Horizon, Slayer (performing a year after weather caused them to cancel their set), Avenged Sevenfold, mysterious masked sensation Sleep Token, Rob Zombie performing Astro-Creep 2000, and hardcore heroes Knocked Loose’s triumphant homecoming. Along with a steady dose of bourbon and beer flowing, and reunions such as Acid Bath, Crossfade, and LetLive, fans better have their earplugs ready, with the festival’s name being precisely what you should expect.

Ohana Festival

Where: Doheny State Park, Dana Point, CA
When: Sept. 26-28

Imagine sitting at a park, and on a beach, sipping a Mai Tai or cold beer with 16,000 of your closest friends while a beautiful late September ocean breeze crinkles the air? That, my friends, is Ohana Festival. The Eddie Vedder-helmed event stands out not just for being Gen-X and family-friendly, but also for not being beholden to the festival-industrial complex. Sure, frequent 2025 festival headliners Green Day and Hozier appear, but there’s also Eddie Vedder and the Earthlings’ only show of the year. Add to that artists like Wet Leg, Garbage, Rainbow Kitten Surprise, Leon Bridges, Stereophonics, and Vedder pals Kings of Leon — what better way is there to celebrate the beginning of fall than with a lineup featuring the past, present, and future of rock?

Austin City Limits

Where: Zilker Park, Austin, TX
When: Oct.3-5, Oct.10-12

Since its 2002 inception, Austin City Limits has cemented itself as not only the most relevant festival in Texas but also as the unofficial end to festival season. Also, there’s nothing that screams the beginning of autumn quite like sitting in the idyllic Zilker Park with its crisp air, surrounded by ravenous Texas Longhorn fans huddled around TVs watching their football team take on their Red River rivals, Oklahoma. Taking place over the first two weekends of October, as usual, ACL has two slightly different lineups that make each weekend special. As the spiritual home of behemoth festival promoter C3, ACL’s weekly lineup tweaks go a long way in creating a different event. Outside of the main headliners and most of the lineup, weekend one features Maren Morris, Phantogram, Hotline TNT, and Modest Mouse, while Pierce the Veil, Bilmuri, Zed’s Dead, and Rilo Kiley drop in for weekend two.

Ethel Cain Can Make Huge-Sounding Pop Songs – I Just Wish She Did It More Often

ethel_caine(1024x450)
Getty Image/Merle Cooper

Hayden Anhëdonia is a master mythologist. As the creator of Ethel Cain, pop music’s reigning undead goth princess, she signaled a vibe shift away from the nonstop millennial moralism of the Trump 1.0 era and toward something darker, sicker, and more immersive. Her 2022 debut Preacher’s Daughter is one of the decade’s genuine left-field hits — possibly the pop cult success of the 2020s, so long as Chappell Roan no longer counts as a cult hero — and the single “American Teenager” remains a stirringly subversive spin on post-Taylor Swift coming-of-age anthems. In an era where “empowerment” and “trauma” became overused buzzwords in album PR announcements, Anhëdonia stood out with songs drenched in cannibalism, murder, and sexual perversity, among other transgressions.

There are, however, limits to her virtuosic prowess for spinning beautiful BS. For instance: In a recent interview, Anhëdonia claimed that she watched Twin Peaks while making her new album, Willoughby Tucker, I’ll Always Love You. Nothing surprising about that — few musicians of her generation are better suited for the adjective “Lynchian” than Anhëdonia. However, she insisted that this was her first time watching the iconic television series. And, I’m sorry, but even in the fanciful world of Ethel Cain, that statement strains credulity. It would be like if Quentin Tarantino declared that he caught his first Scorsese movie just last week.

Then again, it’s possible that Anhëdonia hasn’t studied Twin Peaks as closely as I assume. Along with co-creator Mark Frost, David Lynch pulled off two very different feats with that show. On one hand, he crafted something wholly unlike anything on television, a meditation on moral corruption and small-town secrecy that indulged fearlessly in atmospheric and semi-subliminal visual abstractions. On the other hand, Twin Peaks also worked as conventionally satisfying television, with well-written characters and a compelling mystery that captured the cultural zeitgeist. To make a musical analogy: Twin Peaks functioned as both an experimental ambient record and an easily accessible pop tune.

Striking that perfect balance has been a challenge for Anhëdonia — if she’s actually interested in that balance. “American Teenager” proved that she’s capable of dominating the “easily accessible pop tune” lane, and Willoughby Tucker similarly frontloads the pair of captivating singles released prior to the album release, “Fuck Me Eyes” and “Nettles.” The former track is another variation on the “Hot Topic Taylor Swift” vibe of “American Teenager,” with cinematic lyrics about a lusted-after sweetheart who “goes to church straight from the clubs” and “looks just like her mama before the drugs.” (Like Lana Del Rey, Anhëdonia can play with redneck tropes in a manner that both highlights their camp silliness and red-meat Pavlovian resonance.) The latter song, meanwhile, more or less resembles a straightforward country-pop ballad, albeit one laced with spectral synth lines played on the same keyboard used by the late Twin Peaks composer Angelo Badalamenti. (It also features the album’s best storytelling lyric: “We were in a race to grow up yesterday / Through today, ’til tomorrow / But when the plant blew up, a piece of shrapnel flew and slowed that part of you.”)

While those songs were used as teasers to draw listeners to Willoughby Tucker, they aren’t really representative of the overall record. “Dust Bowl” is more indicative — a glacially paced mood piece trained on a sadomasochistic relationship dynamic (“I knew it was love / When I rode home crying / Thinking of you fucking other girls”), it’s noticeably stingy when it comes to dishing out dynamic musical morsels. It unfolds largely as an unchanging block of sound, where the appearance of a distorted guitar riff at the song’s midpoint feels like a drop of water in an arid desert. It hits hard, but it’s not enough.

Anhëdonia’s albums are never lacking for backstory. She’s described Willoughby Tucker as a prequel to Preacher’s Daughter that delves into the Ethel Cain character’s titular high school sweetheart. As she explained to The Guardian, it’s set in 1986 (five years before Preacher’s Daughter) and concerns the teenaged Cain “trying to navigate her first love in a broken world in a broken town.” The problem is that the story is much clearer when Anhëdonia talks about it interviews than when you’re listening to her music. As is the case with all concept albums, the particulars of the plot matter less than communicating a certain essence to the listener. And on Willoughby Tucker, that essence often seems hazy and not fully baked.

I wrote favorably about Cain’s previous release, the 90-minute so-called EP Perverts, which arrived in January as a strident anti-fame provocation. However, I admired it more as a gesture than as music — her willingness to tweak the expectations of her audience felt courageous given the aggressive push for pandering fan service in all corners of streaming-dominated media. But after Willoughby Tucker, I’m starting to wonder if she has a misplaced sense of where her strengths lie. A lot of her new album, supposedly the “pop” follow-up to the experimental EP, deals in the same sort of elongated instrumentals that populated Perverts. Between them, “Willoughby’s Theme,” “Willoughby’s Interlude,” and “Radio Towers” drone on for nearly 20 minutes, despite having severely limited melodic ideas. What’s worse is that she also saddles her pop songs with that same room-tone bloat, seemingly out of the misguided belief that it makes her music more profound or momentous. Album closer “Waco, Texas,” for example, would have been a perfectly good power ballad if it lasted eight minutes (about as long as “November Rain”) instead of 15. But on Willoughby Tucker, more often means less.

Once Anhëdonia gets over her Twin Peaks phase, I hope that someone can point her to another classic of teenaged angst and monumental dread, Disintegration by The Cure. Like David Lynch, Robert Smith has a gift for larger-than-life romantic doomerism. Like Hayden Anhëdonia, he also loves long, scene-setting instrumentals, like Disintegration‘s entry point “Plainsong.” But the main reason why Disintegration became part of the “cool weird kid” syllabus is that it also has multiple hit singles, including “Lovesong,” “Pictures Of You,” “Fascination Street,” and “Lullaby.” It’s unrelentingly bleak and highly tuneful. Anhëdonia has already shown an ability to make songs that sound just as huge. I just wish she would allow herself to do it more often.

Willoughby Tucker, I’ll Always Love You is out now via Daughters Of Cain Records. Find more information here.

Latto Pays Tribute To ATL Rap Royalty In Her Long-Awaited ‘Chicken Grease’ Video

It has been a while since Latto officially released the full-length version of her T.I. tribute, “Chicken Grease,” on the deluxe edition of her third album, Sugar Honey Iced Tea. That didn’t stop her from finally releasing a music video for it to celebrate the album’s one year anniversary, complete with Latto showing off her culinary skills, twerking on an ATV, and yes, rapping in a tooled-up Chevy alongside the man whose 2003 hit she sampled for “Chicken Grease.”

But hey, you just knew T.I. was going to make an appearance. Not only is he Atlanta rap royalty as one of the godfathers of trap music (arguably even giving the subgenre its name with the title of his second album), but “Chicken Grease” samples the lead single from Trap Muzik, which put T.I. on the mainstream map. Aside from all the commonalities, T.I. has been instrumental as a mentor in the careers of many of Atlanta’s hottest young stars, whose number includes Latto.

In addition to marking the anniversary of Sugar Honey Iced Tea‘s release, Latto also shared the link for limited edition S.H.I.T. vinyl which includes the standout track. The strategic release is just one of the many reasons Uproxx advised, “[Latto] belongs in the conversation about the best rappers out today, and she’s making sure you never forget it.”

You can watch Latto’s “Chicken Grease” video above. You can find the special edition Sugar Honey Iced Tea vinyl here.

Sabrina Carpenter Unveiled Another Classy Alternate Cover For ‘Man’s Best Friend,’ With A Bonus Track

The cover for Sabrina Carpenter’s new album made quite the kerfuffle online, but in the weeks since, she’s revealed that it’ll have multiple alternate covers that are a little less… controversial.

After sharing a cover for Man’s Best Friend that was “approved by God,” Carpenter has revealed one last cover that might just be the classiest of the bunch.

“the final alternate cover for Man’s Best Friend features such a special bonus track called ‘Such A Funny Way’ available only on vinyl,” she wrote on Instagram. “pre order now + a limited number of signed vinyl.”

On the new cover, Carpenter wears a glittering aquamarine evening gown as she holds court among a group of attractive, tuxedoed young men. They appear to be at a fancy dinner, complete with white tablecloths, glasses of champagne, and a vase full of red roses.

The new cover brings the total to four, including two other alternate covers. In one, Carpenter lounges on an easy chair surrounded by bouquets of roses, while the second bears a black-and-white photo of the “Espresso” singer resting her arm on a man’s shoulder. Of course, the first one, the one that polarized audiences over its striking imagery, features the singer in a suggestive pose, kneeling in front of a man whose face the audience doesn’t see.

Whatever your interpretation of the various looks, Man’s Best Friend is due on 8/29 via Island Records. Find more information here.

JID Says He Recorded A Joint Album With J. Cole That Fans Will Undoubtedly Be Really Chill About

jid.jpg
Getty Image

JID dropped his album, God Loves Ugly, today, but a comment he made on the promo run will probably have fans clamoring for another new release from him in short order.

During an appearance on The Joe Budden Podcast, JID revealed that he had recorded a joint album with his Dreamville benefactor, J. Cole. While talking about his rhyme mentor, he boasted, “Me and Cole got a body, a 15-track smoker. Me and him, back and forth. We worked on this sh*t in New York, I ain’t never told nobody this. Sorry, Cole!”

Considering the chemistry J. Cole and JID have displayed on songs like “Stick,” “Off Deez,” and “Down Bad,” Dreamville fans will undoubtedly be excited for an official release.

However, they probably shouldn’t expect to see one anytime soon. JID will be busy promoting God Loves Ugly for the foreseeable future, and then, there’s that long-awaited joint album with Metro Boomin that’s supposedly been in the works for a couple of years. That was “still a thing” as recently as last April, according to Metro Boomin, although there are probably still all kinds of business considerations to be worked out.

That won’t stop fans from asking about it now that they know it exists; there are some who still think that there’s a joint project from J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar floating around, even with their adamant insistence that they never had any plans to make one. So, I’m sure they’ll be really chill about the possibility of Cole and JID possibly releasing a joint project at some point.

Don Toliver Takes A Ride In The Glitchy ‘No Comments’ Video

Don Toliver’s glitchy “No Comments” video continues the rollout for the Jackboys 2 compilation from Travis Scott’s Cactus Jack crew. The visual has a psychedelic, CGI-inspired texture, following Toliver as he hops off a private plane with his girlfriend Kali Uchis and their son, rides a bike through a deserted oasis, and whips around town in a dune buggy. It’s the second video to be released since the Jackboys 2 compilation dropped, following Travis’ similarly avant-garde video for “Kick Out.”

Aside from his contributions to Jackboys 2, Toliver has made a few profile-raising moves this year. In June, he was a featured performer on the lineup for Lyrical Lemonade’s Summer Smash festival in Chicago, after appearing on the F1 soundtrack’s lead single, “Lose My Mind” with Doja Cat.

Prior to that he continued to promote his 2024 album Hardstone Psycho with videos for “No Pole” and “Tore Up,” and dropping off a brand-new song, “LV Bag” alongside J-Hope from BTS and Pharrell Williams.

Although Toliver has yet to announce a follow-up for Hardstone, it looks like Jackboys 2 is helping to keep him in the limelight as he dedicates his time to being a dad.

Watch Don Toliver’s “No Comments” video above.

Jackboys 2 is now via Cactus Jack/Epic Records. You can find more info here.

SNX: This Week’s Best Sneakers, Feat. The Air Jordan 4 Worn Blue, A JJJJound Salomon Link Up And More!

SNX_08_07(1024x450) (1)
Uproxx

Welcome to SNX DLX, your weekly roundup of the best sneakers to hit the internet. As we enter the first full week of August, we’re being treated to a short but sweet drop list that includes a new Jordan colorway, a Nike Shox Ride 2, a new Air Max 95, and a premium Made in Italy release from Adidas. On the collaboration front, we have just one release, JJJJound’s link up with the running sneaker brand Salomon.

We love to see both JJJJound and Salomon getting some love. This year, all the focus has been on Nike and Adidas, so getting these smaller brands in the mix is a welcome change (even if they had to team up to make something noteworthy). Here is to hoping the rest of this year has more bangers in store! For now, here are the best sneaker drops happening this week and where to find them. Let’s dive in!

JJJJound x Salomon XT-6

JJJJound

Price: $190

This two sneaker pack is JJJJound’s first take on the Salomon XT-6 and we have to say — they knocked it out of the park. This sneaker features a synthetic upper with mesh underlays, textile lining, JJJJound branding on the medial quarter and tongue, and woven and mesh detailing. The XT-6 is dropping in two different colorways: a blue version with red and yellow accents and a stealthy black iteration with contrasting red accents.

If we had to pick a favorite, we’re going blue!

The JJJJound x Salomon XT-6 is out now for a retail price of $190. Pick up a pair at JJJJound.

Adidas Italia 60S Made in Italy

Adidas

Price: $400

Adidas is in a weird place — the brand has a roster of some of the strongest-looking silhouettes of all time, and yet, their new sneakers, save for the Bad Bunny collabs and their signature basketball sneakers, just can’t live up to their past highs. It’s a tough time to be an Adidas fan, but we appreciate the brand for still taking big swings and risks. This week’s Italia 60S is not one of those big risks, but its a high end version of an Adidas classic, so it’s easily one of the best sneakers to drop all week.

Made in Italy, this luxury sneaker features a smooth leather upper, leather lining, and metallic Adidas Italia branding. It looks like a work of art!

The Adidas Italia 60S Made in Italy is set to drop on August 9th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $400. Pick up a pair via the Adidas CONFIRMED app.

Nike SHOX Ride 2 Bright Cactus and Black

Nike

Price: $210

Without a doubt, the Nike SHOX — a once incredibly polarizing shoe — is fully back, and now that it’s back, Nike has the opportunity to get weird with it, and we can get fully behind that. Case in point, the SHOX Ride 2 Bright Cactus and Black. Just look at this thing! A distressed textile and shaggy suede upper, a wild colorway, a speckled midsole, what’s not to love here?

Is it for everyone? No, but the people this design speaks to are going to love it.

The Nike SHOX Ride 2 Bright Cactus and Black is set to drop on August 6th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $210. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app.

Nike Air Max 95 Cool Grey and Blue Spark

Nike

Price: $190

The Air Max 95 is simply one of the best sneakers of all time. How do we know? Because all it takes is a cool color combination for the internet to absolutely geek out about it. This Cool Grey and Blue Spark features OG ’95 Big Bubble construction, a synthetic leather and lightweight mesh upper, and a gray scale white to black gradient along its famous rippled design.

This sneaker turned 30 this year, and it still looks as fresh as ever!

The Nike Air Max 95 Cool Grey and Blue Spark is set to drop on August 8th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $190. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app.

Nike Women’s Air Jordan 4 Worn Blue

Nike

Price: $220

Just ignore all the current discourse going on about denim right now — just because the internet is collectively losing its mind, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t marvel at the beautiful denim and gold combo that is this Jordan 4 Worn Blue. A women’s sized exclusive, this Jordan 4 sports a denim and textile upper with exposed stitching, a white midsole and white accents, and a beautiful, slightly-worn wash.

The Nike Women’s Air Jordan 4 Worn Blue is set to drop on August 9th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $220. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app.
