The canceled appearances include Pukkelpop, Creamfields, Radio 1 Malta, and Le Touquet. Summit explained in his announcement that canceling shows is not something he takes lightly, but he felt time away from the road was necessary before beginning the next stretch of performances.

The decision comes during a busy period for Summit, whose touring schedule has included major festivals and club dates across several markets. His upcoming arena run is expected to mark another significant phase in his live schedule.

Fans who planned to attend the affected festivals will no longer see Summit on those lineups, while the events themselves are expected to continue with their remaining scheduled performers.

Among the featured performers were NCT 127, ZEROBASEONE and TOMORROW X TOGETHER, each taking a prominent role in the concert lineup. The event also included appearances from Wanna One, P1Harmony, &TEAM, KO1KEYZ and a wide range of newer and established artists.

Beyond the main-stage performances, the weekend highlighted the fan-focused atmosphere that has become central to KCON. Artist interactions, collaborations and unexpected moments gave attendees plenty to follow outside the standard concert format.

The 2026 edition continued KCON’s mix of major K-pop stars and emerging performers while giving fans a broad look at the current generation of Korean pop music. The Los Angeles event once again combined live music, community activities and direct artist engagement under one festival format.

In the birthday message, Swift said she had been listening to the album repeatedly and highlighted its emotional honesty and vulnerability. The post marked a rare social media appearance from Swift and reflected the friendship the two artists have developed through their work together.

Bridgers and Swift previously collaborated on Nothing New, a track featured on Red (Taylor’s Version). Bridgers also joined Swift as an opening act during several dates of the Eras Tour in 2023.

Lost Weekend is Bridgers’ third studio album and arrived on August 14, just days before her birthday. Swift’s message added a personal note to the release, combining a birthday tribute with public support for a longtime musical collaborator and friend.

The expanded run follows strong demand for the New York concerts, which were originally planned as a limited return to the spirit of the group’s 2008 Burnin’ Up Tour. The band said the response convinced them to take the show on the road and revisit that period of their career with fans in more cities.

Stops include Boston, Toronto, Miami, Los Angeles, Seattle, Denver, Nashville and several other major markets. The tour is scheduled to finish December 21 at Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.

Special guests on select dates include Magnus Ferrell, Franklin Jonas and All Time Low, while Deleasa is also scheduled to appear during the tour. General ticket sales begin August 21.

During the show’s six-season run, Panettiere performed dozens of songs that were later released commercially on soundtrack albums. Several recordings reached the country charts, including Telescope, Undermine, Wrong Song and Don’t Put Dirt on My Grave Just Yet.

Her music career started years before Nashville. As a child performer, Panettiere recorded songs connected to movies including Ice Princess and Bridge to Terabithia. In 2008, she released Wake Up Call, her first single not connected to an acting project.

Her recording history also included an early Grammy milestone. At age 10, Panettiere received a nomination for her voice work on the A Bug’s Life Read-Along, making her one of the youngest Grammy nominees in history.

The initiative includes an initial $1.25 million in financial commitments. The FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund and Live Nation have each pledged $500,000, while CAF Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean is contributing another $250,000. Shakira’s Fundación Pies Descalzos will work with the Howard G. Buffett Foundation on the rebuilding effort.

The 7.4-magnitude earthquake caused widespread destruction across western Colombia, damaging homes, public infrastructure and educational facilities. Chocó was among the areas most severely affected.

Shakira has supported education projects in the region for more than two decades. Her latest commitment focuses on helping students return to classrooms while longer-term reconstruction continues.

During the concert, Grande welcomed Cynthia Erivo to the stage for a pair of performances tied to their work together. The two stars performed For Good, the emotional Wicked duet associated with their characters Glinda and Elphaba. They also sang Get Happy/Happy Days Are Here Again, another number they have previously performed together.

The guest appearance came during the second night of Grande’s London run. The shows mark the closing stretch of the Eternal Sunshine Tour, which began in North America before moving to the U.K.

Grande and Erivo developed a close musical partnership while starring in the Wicked films. Their latest live reunion continued that connection in front of a concert audience rather than on a movie set or television special.

The London performance added a theatrical moment to Grande’s tour and gave fans another chance to hear the pair sing together live.

Alongside the single’s release, Sivan announced that She’s the Best will also serve as the title track of his fourth studio album, arriving October 9. The project follows his 2023 album Something to Give Each Other and marks the beginning of a new chapter for the Australian singer.

Directed by Gordon von Steiner, the video also features drag performer Sasha Colby and shows Sivan appearing in drag. The visual explores femininity and admiration through nightlife, fashion and performance.

Kidman and Sivan have worked together before. Both appeared in the 2018 film Boy Erased, making the music video a reunion eight years later.

She’s the Best also features contributions from several collaborators, including Jack Antonoff, George Daniel, Styalz Fuego and Leland, with Charli XCX providing vocals on the song’s outro.

Collins said his condition eventually became severe enough to require hospital treatment. He described suffering organ failure and reaching a point where his family was called while he was receiving intensive medical care.

The 75-year-old musician has also faced several other health challenges in recent years. He continues to deal with mobility problems, including drop foot, and uses crutches to help prevent falls. Collins said multiple operations and ongoing physiotherapy have helped improve his overall condition.

Music remains part of his life as well. Although he has stepped away from regular performing, Collins still has a studio at home and has both unfinished and completed material. For now, his comments offer a rare update on his health, sobriety and connection to music.

The moment came as both Capaldi and Florence + The Machine appeared at the 2026 edition of the Hungarian festival. Capaldi used the lyrical reference as part of his stage banter, turning the contrast between his own persona and Florence Welch’s dramatic performance style into a joke.

Humor has long been a major part of Capaldi’s relationship with audiences. Even during large festival appearances, he frequently breaks between songs to make jokes about himself, his career and the experience of performing in front of thousands of people.

The Sziget appearance also continued Capaldi’s return to major live stages. His festival performances have placed him back in front of large international crowds, combining his emotional pop songs with the relaxed and comedic stage presence fans have come to expect.
