The 13th edition of III Points happens Oct. 16-17 at Mana Wynwood. Fest organizers promise increased square footage, more than 10 stages, immersive art installations, flooring improvements to the Isotropic Stage and the debut of an enhanced VIP+ experience. Tickets for the fest go on sale June 12 at 1:11 p.m. ET.

“Phase II completes the vision we set out for 2026,” III Points founder David Sinopoli says in a statement. “We wanted to drop a final wave of talent that feels both nostalgic and completely futuristic, bridging the gap between underground club culture and global live acts. This completes the circuit for our 13th year.” 

Beyond being three of the world’s biggest girl groups, what do KATSEYE, LE SSERAFIM and ILLIT have in common? They’ve all experienced their fair share of hate.

Luckily, the performers also know that the Internet trolls and negativity just means that they have your attention, which is the thesis of “Iconic by Mistake,” their new three-way collaboration. The song doesn’t arrive for two more days, but on Wednesday (June 10), the trio premiered the track by unleashing the cinematic music video.

In the visually stunning video, KATSEYE, LE SSERAFIM and ILLIT appear in a series of chaotic settings, from driving and crashing trucks late at night on the highway to robbing graves in a cemetery, pulling teeth in a creepy dentist’s office and starting a fire in a cornfield after causing an electrical explosion with power lines.

“Hating me is like all you do/ Breakfast to dinner/ Algorithm bulletproof,” the ladies sing. “Breaking your fingers/ Thank you for the comments/ It’s because of all your hate/ I am iconic by mistake.”

All three girl groups are signed to HYBE. Their collision will continue when “Iconic by Mistake” arrives on streaming services at midnight ET first thing Friday (June 12).

The new song comes as something of a detour on KATSEYE’s rollout for upcoming EP Wild, which will feature Billboard Hot 100 hit lead single “Pinky Up.” LE SSERAFIM is fresh off the release of Billboard 200 No. 10 album Pureflow Pt. 1 in May, while “Iconic by Mistake” follows April mini album MAMIHLAPINATAPAI for ILLIT.

The predictions were true: Taylor Swift surprised fans by attending the L.A. premiere of Toy Story 5.

The pop superstar took time off from wedding planning with Travis Kelce to attend the red carpet premiere of the Disney Pixar film. Speculation on whether she would make an appearance gained momentum after the release of “I Knew It, I Knew You,” the pop/country song penned by Swift for the movie’s soundtrack.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the six-time IFPI Global Recording Artist of the Year winner arrived on the carpet, which took over Hollywood Boulevard in front of the Dolby Theatre, from an area blocked from press and guests. Then, she joined the film’s cast and crew, including Tom Hanks, Joan Cusack and Tim Allen, for a group photo and relaxed with life-size versions of the animated characters.

To let everyone in the theater know that TayTay had arrived, the house DJ played “The Fate of Ophelia,” the lead single and opening track from the pop superstar’s 12th and latest studio album, The Life of a Showgirl.

Also, the Kelce brothers’ social accounts kept Swifties up to date, with several videos and snaps.

The 14-time Grammy winner’s Toy Story track broke single-day streaming records. Within the first 24 hours since its release on June 5, “I Knew It, I Knew You” became the biggest country song of 2026.

“I’ve always dreamed of getting to write for these characters who I’ve adored since I was a 5 year old kid … I fell instantly in love with Toy Story 5 when I was lucky enough to see it in its early stages, and I wrote this song as soon as I got home from the screening,” she wrote on an Instagram post when announcing she had written the original tune for the film.

Toy Story 5 arrives in U.S. theaters Friday, June 19. The film opens June 17 in Brazil and Spain, and June 18 in Latin America.

Madonna has never been one to hold back about her sex life, even if the details involve other famous faces.

Her candid response to questions about the people she has enjoyed having sex with during a recent interview has a member of the Kennedy family — Jack Schlossberg, JFK Jr.’s nephew — chiming in.

During an interview in late May with the dating app Grindr, Madge was asked about her “best d— down.” Unfiltered as usual, the 67-year-old replied, “I’m only going to name dead people,” before proceeding to whisper, “John Kennedy Jr.”

Schlossberg, who is running for Congress in New York, was put in the hot seat by TV host Andy Cohen regarding Madge’s feedback. During an interview on Radio Andy, Cohen asked the writer-turned-politician his thoughts on Madonna’s reference to his uncle’s performance in the sack.

“When you hear someone like Madonna say, ‘JFK Jr. was some of the best sex I’ve ever had,’ do you chuckle at that?” Cohen asked.

Schlossberg paused, thought out his response and said, “All I can say is that I bet she was right.”

“There you go. That’s a good answer,” Cohen replied, acknowledging that Schlossberg was running for office and had to think carefully about how he would answer.

The Queen of Pop is on a press run to promote her forthcoming project, Confessions II, her 15th studio album. Her previous project, Madame X, was a hit for the singer, debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart in June 2019 and marking her ninth No. 1 album in the United States.

On June 8, the pop diva was announced by Italian makeup brand KIKO Milano as its global brand ambassador during an exclusive event in New York City. Madonna, whose visual project Confessions II — The Film recently premiered at the Tribeca Festival, has been busy promoting her upcoming album, which drops July 3.

All eyes are on the NBA Finals right now, as the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs continue their fierce contest — with the former hoping to win its first championship since 1973. In celebration of the first game in this momentous match-up, ESPN and Spotify teamed up for ESPN Presents: Spotify Live Sessions — NBA Finals Party.

Tapped for a special performance at the invite-only event on the opening night of the best-of-seven series (June 3) was Grammy Award-nominated artist Destin Conrad.

The creator-led immersive experience at Spotify’s Los Angeles headquarters also featured live DJ sets from Austin J. Mills. Among the guest list of creators, tastemakers and fans were actor-singer Trevor Jackson (Grey’s Anatomy, grown-ish) and social media influencer/content creator Mariah Linney, a former guard for the University of North Carolina’s Charlotte 49ers basketball team.

For the occasion, Spotify’s Los Angeles headquarters was transformed into a “House of Legends” motif. In addition to watching the game in a lounge-style viewing area, guests were treated to various activations, including a basketball shooting competition and a custom hat engraving station. In addition to Conrad’s post-game performance, The Club520 podcast went live at halftime, hosted by former NBA All-Star Jeff Teague, his brother DJ Wells and Bishop “B Hen” Henn.

Conrad’s setlist for the party included “Party Wit U,” “Bad Bitches” and “Kissing in Public.” The singer/songwriter was a first-time Grammy nominee at the 68th annual ceremony, earning a nomination in the best progressive R&B album category for debut album Love on Digital. Conrad’s latest project is wHIMSY!, the deluxe edition of his critically acclaimed alternative jazz album wHIMSY. The EMPIRE artist will kick off the second leg of his wHIMSY! tour on July 17 in St. Louis.

Cardi B has high hopes for the New York Knicks in the 2026 NBA Finals. While at Game 3 against the San Antonio Spurs on Monday night, the rapper had a hilarious response when asked by Entertaiment Tonight about what a Knicks win would mean for the city.

“It’s gonna mean the rats will disappear, trees will start growing, potholes will be filled,” she told the outlet effusively. “Rains of glitter coming down, the Statue of Liberty is going to finally walk.

“It’s going to mean everything,” she added. “Crimes will be solved!”

Of course, the Bronx native also ended with, “Go Knicks!”

The NYC team ended up losing 111-115 on Monday night, but New York is still up 2-1 in the series. Just two more wins could make the Knicks the NBA champions for the first time since 1973. The team also hasn’t made it to the finals since 1999. Game 4 will take place Wednesday night back at Madison Square Garden.

Cardi is a veteran Knicks fan, and she’s previously sat courtside at games. At Game 3, she performed a halftime show and sat courtside with her 4-year-old son Wave.

She’s always been loud and proud about her love for her home city. Recently, Cardi teamed up with Mayor Zohran Mamdani to help launch a musical contest supporting his 2-K program offering New Yorkers free childcare. “Can you believe that?! We have a 34-year-old mayor! I feel like I’m a kid, and you’re, like, running New York!” she told the politician in a video announcing the contest.

Watch Cardi share her optimistic thoughts about the New York Knicks below.

Ma$e disagrees with his fellow New Yorker Jennifer Lopez about who can claim to be from the Empire State.

J.Lo found herself in some controversy after a recent appearance on the social media video series Subway Takes when she said you can’t say you’re from New York City if you weren’t born there. “You have to be born in New York to be a New Yorker,” she said. “Yes, I know everybody wants to claim the city. Everybody wants to claim our city, but you have to be born in New York. You have to be born in one of the five boroughs to be a New Yorker.”

Ma$e, who was born in Jacksonville, Florida, gave his take earlier Tuesday (June 9) on an episode of It Is What It Is after being asked what’s the definition of a New Yorker by his co-host Treasure “Stat Baby” Wilson.

“You would ask me this because I’m not born in New York, but I lived my whole life there, so according to J.Lo, Harlem World is a fake,” he replied with a laugh, name-dropping his 1997 debut album. “I don’t know how to feel about that. I think if you didn’t go to kindergarten there, if you didn’t go to elementary there, but if you’ve been there since kindergarten all the way through high school, at what point do you say a person is not from there?”

He added: “If they didn’t go to high school there then they’re definitely not from there. But if you been there since kindergarten, pre-K, all the way through college, where you from then? I see what she’s trying to say, but I’m definitely from where I’m from.”

So…what’s your take?

Beastie Boys co-founder Mike D has announced the details for his upcoming debut solo album, Thank You. The 13-track LP is due out on Aug. 28 on Capitol Records and is preceded by the Lee “Scratch” Perry-inspired single “True Colors.” The album is the first from a charter B-Boys member since the original group’s swan song, 2011’s Hot Sauce Committee Part 2.

“It’s been so much fun making this music with people I love and I have grown to really appreciate in our collaboration,” Mike said in a statement about the album that traces its origins to low-key experimental recording sessions at his home studio. “And I just hope it’s fun for others and not overly serious, because let’s be real, I’m releasing this music into a very strange and dark and power-fixated world that really devalues art and feelings and compassion and empathy and equality.”

The sessions kicked off with Mike collaborating with his sons, Skyler and Davis, before expanding to include producer/songwriters Carter Lang (SZA), Jared Solomon (Remi Wolf, BROCKHAMPTON), Ging (Lorde, Post Malone), Jason Lader (Furslide), Eddie Ruscha and Tyran Donaldson (Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar). The album was mixed by Derek “MixedByAli” Ali and mastered by Nicolas de Porcel.

Mike has not released any new music since the death of Beastie Boys co-founder Adam “MCA” Yauch, 47, in 2012 following a long battle with cancer. The group, which also features Ad-Rock (Adam Horovitz), 59, went on indefinite hiatus following Yauch’s death.

A trippy visualizer for the percussion-forward single “True Colors” was released on Monday (June 8). The percussion-heavy song has Mike singing, “True colors/ Shining through” on the hypnotic chorus of the tune that prioritizes martial drums and atmospheric keyboards. D, 60, released his debut solo single, “Switch Up,” last month, along with “What We Got,” and he’s been on the road in Europe playing a run of intimate venues with his Mike D 5D band, with the next gig slated for Wednesday night (June 10) at Saalchen in Berlin, Germany.

The track list for Thank You features the songs: “Switch Up,” “What We Got,” “True Colors,” “That’s Right,” “Secrets Pt. 1,” “Secrets Pt. 2,” “I Don’t Care,” “Make It Stop,” “Crypto,” “Here We Are,” “Back To Start,” “It’s Time” and “Thank You.”

One of London’s most storied grassroots music venues is returning to its roots. The Camden Assembly, the North London venue formerly known as The Barfly, is preparing to revive its historic name after nearly a decade operating under its current branding. 

The move comes following the venue’s acquisition by Propaganda Independent Venues, led by co-founders Dan Ickowitz-Seidler and Richard Buck, and joined by co-owner Chris McCormac. 

The new era will commence with a show from British rock act Frank Turner on June 22. Ticket registration opens June 15 at 9 a.m. (BST), with access limited to those who sign up in advance. Further ticketing information can be found via Barfly Camden’s Instagram page.

Located on Chalk Farm Road in Camden, the 200-capacity venue has been a fixture of London’s live music scene since the 1980s, where it first operated as The Monarch. It became The Barfly in the early 2000s and earned a reputation as one of the U.K.’s most important small-capacity venues, hosting early performances from artists including Coldplay, Amy Winehouse, The xx and a four-night residency from Ed Sheeran.

The venue was rebranded as Camden Assembly in 2016 following a change in ownership and refurbishment. Ickowitz-Seidler and Buck have stated that restoring the Barfly name is part of a broader effort to reconnect the venue with its musical heritage.

In a statement, Ickowitz-Seidler said: “Barfly means so much to us all, and we’re honoured to be starting a new chapter in its story. We’ll be announcing more very special shows shortly, but Frank Turner is the perfect artist to relaunch the Barfly stage. He embodies everything Barfly stands for.

“I hope live music fans will come out and support not just Barfly, but grassroots venues across the country. Before so many of today’s biggest artists were filling arenas and headlining festivals, they played at Barfly. You could be watching the next festival headliner on our stage on any night. Before the arenas, they were here!”

According to a report from Access All Areas, the new owners have planned to build a Wall of Fame featuring images and memorabilia. In the months ahead, a series of blue plaques will also be unveiled at the venue, marking notable artists and that helped shape its history. The new iteration of the Camden Barfly will also reportedly house a vinyl listening bar inspired by Tokyo’s celebrated listening-bar culture.

Blink-182 appear to be preparing something special for the 25th anniversary of Take Off Your Pants and Jacket.

The pop-punk trio sparked speculation among fans this week after sharing the album’s iconic artwork on social media alongside a link inviting fans to sign up for more information. While the band has yet to reveal exactly what’s planned, the timing points squarely to the 25th anniversary of the record, which was released on June 12, 2001.

The teaser arrives ahead of the album’s milestone anniversary on Friday (June 12), prompting fan theories ranging from an expanded reissue and previously unreleased material to a commemorative tour announcement.

At the time of publication, Blink-182 has not publicly confirmed any details.

Released on June 12, 2001, Take Off Your Pants and Jacket marked a major commercial breakthrough for Blink-182. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with more than 350,000 copies sold in its first week, becoming the first punk-rock album ever to open atop the chart.

The set spawned several of the band’s most enduring singles, including “The Rock Show,” “First Date” and “Stay Together for the Kids.” While the first two tracks leaned into the band’s trademark humor and youthful energy, “Stay Together for the Kids” showcased a more serious side, tackling divorce and family breakdown through some of the most personal songwriting of the group’s career.

The album also arrived during a period when Blink-182 were reaching new commercial heights. Fronted by guitarist Tom DeLonge and bassist Mark Hoppus alongside drummer Travis Barker, the band spent much of 2001 and 2002 touring globally behind the record, including the high-profile Pop Disaster Tour with Green Day.

The anniversary tease continues a recent trend of Blink-182 revisiting key moments from their catalog. In 2019, the group celebrated the 20th anniversary of Enema of the State by performing the album in full on tour, while recent years have seen renewed interest in the band’s classic-era releases following DeLonge’s return to the lineup.

The announcement also follows a busy period for the band. Their 2023 reunion album, One More Time…, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, giving Blink-182 their third chart-topper and their first since Take Off Your Pants and Jacket more than two decades earlier.

For now, fans will have to wait until June 12 to learn exactly what Blink-182 has planned for one of the most beloved albums in pop-punk history.
