Dance artist Anyma’s performance at Coachella 2026 was cancelled about 15 minutes after its scheduled midnight slot on Friday (April 10) on Weekend One of the two-weekend festival. At press time, Anyma remains scheduled to play next weekend.
The show was set to close out the festival’s main Coachella Stage, but minutes after 12:00 a.m., a message was posted on the stage’s screens stating that “due to strong winds affecting Anyma’s stage build, he is unable to perform tonight. Coachella and Anyma have made this decision together with your safety as the priority.”
“I’m sorry everyone,” the artist later wrote in a comment on an Instagram post with the news shared by Coachella. “We’ve done everything in our control to build the show I’ve worked an entire year on. Safety always comes first and we’re working on a solution now.”
The main stage appeared set with at least some musical equipment and various props for the show that ultimately did not happen. While not clear which aspect of Anyma’s set would have been impacted by the winds, the conditions appeared to only impact Anyma’s Coachella Stage set so adversely, as concurrent scheduled performances onsite continued during this timeframe. Crowds gathered for Anyma could be seen diverting to Gordo at the festival’s dance-focused Yuma Tent, Sexyy Red in the Sahara Tent, and Blood Orange at the Mojave, while others made their way to the festival exit.
The performance was meant to be the global debut of ÆDEN, the new Anyma production. This show would have followed his late 2024/early 2025 residency at Sphere Las Vegas, where the Italian American artist debuted his acclaimed audiovisual show, The End of Genesys.
If Anyma’s recent singles and music videos are any indication, the aesthetic of his new era is ancient ruins and cyborg angels, with both of these motifs seen in the recent videos for the Joji collab “Beautiful” and the LISA collab “Bad Angel.”
“I can’t believe I’m headlining Coachella!” Sabrina Carpenter proclaimed partway through her performance doing exactly that on Friday night (Apr. 10) of the festival’s first weekend. “I mean… I can a little bit. But it sounds nicer to say that.”
Probably more than a little bit: Carpenter actually predicted this almost exactly two years earlier, when she closed out her debut performance at the festival with the “Nonsense” outro proclamation: “Coachella, see you back here when I headline.” At the time, with Carpenter a rising hitmaker but still hardly a superstar, the prediction might’ve felt outlandish — or at the very least slightly ahead of schedule — but thanks in large part to a song she released the same weekend, she was about to be fast-tracked to pop’s A-list, where she has only become more established in the days since.
In fact, if there was one major takeaway from Carpenter’s headlining set this Friday, it’s just what a robust catalog of hits she’s built in such a short period of time. The only songs older than “Espresso” that she performed were a couple Emails I Can’t Send-era favorites: the likely “Drivers License” rejoinder “Because I Liked a Boy” and the radio-blessed deluxe cut “Feather.” Still, it didn’t feel like a thin setlist for a headliner — her two most recent albums have just that many hits between them, and even most of the Man’s Best Friend deep cuts she played sounded single-ier than ever on Saturday, with beefed-up, extra-discofied arrangements, not to mention plenty of time to grow on fans since their mid-2025 release.
Carpenter has simply put in the work over those two years to not only produce the songs worthy of fleshing out a pop star resumé, but to continue to expand the world around them, with music videos and live performances and even in-song callbacks that deepen their impacts. And Friday night’s headlining show was one of her best examples of that yet, finding new ways to play with her established hits both sonically and visually, and adding to her own iconography in the process. Most notably, Friday marked the introduction of the no-doubt eternal “SABRINAWOOD,” her take on the famous Hollywood sign that appeared displayed on stage for most of the performance.
Classic Hollywood and its eternal glamour seemed to be a fixation of Carpenter’s for the majority of her performance, with the grooves and general sweep of disco serving as its other twin pillar. But Carpetner’s adoption of these long-past cultural touchstones never felt overly retro; even “SABRINAWOOD” not just suggested her general takeover of Southern California this week but snuck in an another boner joke to a memorable performance of her already dangerously frisky “When Did You Get Hot?” And moreover, by this point she projects as such a larger-than-life pop figure that 2020s top 40 stardom sometimes doesn’t really feel big enough for her anyway. Tellingly, no musical guest stars interfered with Carpenter’s one-woman show, though a handful of big-name actors — most notably Susan Sarandon and Will Ferrell — did offer quick (or sometimes not so quick) diversions for her many set and costume changes.
Also telling: No “Nonsense” at all in this set, with the breakout hit marking the only major song of her past three years to not make an appearance. Perhaps when you call a shot like Sabrina did with her prior Coachella “Nonsense,” the proper thing to do is to not push your luck a second time. (It sounds nicer to say that, anyway.)
Here were the seven most memorable (non-“SABRINAWOOD”) moments from Carpenter’s winning headline performance:
Back when they were just starting out, 98 Degrees singer Nick Lachey says that someone from the group’s label handed the band a book that laid out the age of consent in every single state. The shocking revelation comes in the new Investigation Discovery docuseries, Boy Band Confidential, which features stories from members of some of the era’s biggest names dishing on life inside the boy band bubble.
“This is going to sound super shady but when we first went out — I remember in our first tour — someone at the label gave us a book,” Love Is Blind co-host Lachey says in the series that debuts on Investigation Discovery on Monday (April 13) and Tuesday (April 14) at 9 p.m. ET before later streaming on HBO Max. “It was the age of consent in every state in the country,” he added, according to Us magazine.
“We kept that book on the tour bus. Unfortunately, there were people out there looking to tear you down,” he adds in the show of the manual that was seemingly meant to make sure the singers, then in their early-to-mid-20s, did not break the law on the road when interacting with fans. Lachey fronted the band that also featured his younger brother, Drew Lachey, as well as Jeff Timmons and Justin Jeffre, and he says that the safeguards in place today were not there when he and his bandmates were touring.
“You see [Justin] Bieber cancel a tour. You’ll see Shawn Mendes cancel a tour because [their] mental health needs to come first,” he said, noting that no matter what was going on off stage for the group known for such hits as their Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 collaboration on Mariah Carey’s 1999 smash “Thank God I Found You” (also featuring Joe) and 2000s No. 2 hit “Give Me Just One Night (Una Noche),” they were encouraged to carry on.
“That was not an option when we were out there. You went out there and you did the show. Then you came back after the show and you broke down and you cried and you kicked a hole in the wall. Or you did whatever you had to do. But you didn’t bow out. You work so hard to get there, you can’t let your foot off the gas,” he said of expectations for the band, who were all between 25-27 years old during their peak 1998-2000 years (Drew was between 22-24).
98 Degrees released their first non-Christmas album in more than a decade, Full Circle, last May. The collection featured six updated versions of their biggest hits. Boy Band Confidential, executive produced by *NSYNC’s Joey Fatone, features Fatone, Lachey, O-Town’s Ashley Parker Angel, *NSYNC’s Lance Bass, Backstreet Boys’ AJ McLean, Boyz II Men’s Wanya Morris and Shawn Stockman and LFO’s Brad Fischetti.
Hilary Duff just revisited one of her most beloved tracks ahead of the Laguna Beach reunion special, re-recording “Come Clean” and surprise releasing it Friday (April 10).

Hilary Duff Talks Bra Shopping at the Same Time as Lizzie McGuire & Still Feeling Like a ‘Child Actor Inside’ on ‘Hot Ones’
Hilary Duff Opens Up About ‘Horrible’ Divorce, Losing Her ‘Innocence’ on Disney & Family Friction: ‘My Sister & I Don’t Speak’
Approaching the track with a mature sound that still evokes the charm of her teenage self, the Lizzie McGuire star sings, “Let the rain fall down/ And wake my dreams/ Let it wash away my sanity/ ‘Cause I want to feel the thunder/ I wanna scream/ Let the rain fall down/ I’m coming clean.”
The track will appear on Hilary Duff – (Mine), the star’s upcoming collection of re-recorded versions of her greatest hits. The project will arrive Friday (April 18) on a silver vinyl exclusively for this year’s Record Store Day. Only 10,000 copies will be available to purchase, meaning only a small number of fans will get their hands on Duff’s updated renditions of “What Dreams Are Made Of” and other nostalgic favorites.
“Come Clean (Mine)” will also be featured on The Reunion: Laguna Beach, which premieres Friday on The Roku Channel. The original track by Duff — which reached No. 35 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2004 — served as the theme song for the reality show back in the day. That’s not to say Duff herself was a fan of the show; she hilariously confessed on Watch What Happens Live in 2023 that she’d never seen it.
The How I Met Your Father alum is currently in the midst of a major musical comeback, dropping her first album in 10 years in February and reaching No. 3 on the Billboard 200 with Luck … or Something. Her seven-month Lucky Me Tour kicks off in June.
Listen to Duff’s new-old song “Come Clean” below.
After months of buildup, BTS finally kicked off its global tour in support of new album ARIRANG, performing in front of thousands of ARMY at Goyang Stadium in South Korea on Thursday (April 9).
RM, j-hope, Jin, SUGA, V, Jung Kook and Jimin were a force onstage as they presented a united front in a live setting for the first time in years (aside from their official comeback performance in Seoul in March). They sang and danced to a number of tracks from ARIRANG, as well as older Billboard Hot 100-topping smashes such as “Dynamite” and “Butter,” as fans waved their signature lightsticks in the crowd.
And as good of a time as the audience had at the first show on the yearlong trek, the band might have enjoyed it even more. “I had so much fun at Arirang Tour’s first concert,” Jin wrote on Weverse shortly after the concert wrapped. “I feel comfortable performing as a team and being in the same space with ARMY, so I feel like I’m back home.”

BTS will perform a total of three shows in Goyang before heading over to Tokyo, at which point the sprawling stadium tour will be really underway. The global run — which begins after ARIRANG spent its first two weeks atop the Billboard 200 and spawned a No. 1 hit on the Hot 100 with lead single “SWIM” — will take the Bangtan Boys through cities in North America, Latin America, Europe, Australia and more parts of Asia through March of next year.
So whether you’re planning to catch a show or just want to know what songs the guys are playing on a nightly basis these days, Billboard has the full setlist from night 1. Check out every track BTS played at the kickoff show of tour below.
Health has been releasing “sad music for horny people” — their description! — since its self-titled debut in 2007. But in the years since, the industrial band comprised of Jake Duzsik, John Famiglietti and B.J. Miller has not only cultivated its own standout, bleak-yet-lush sound that captures the emotional horrors of life set to infectious beats, but also a hilarious social media presence that proves the trio isn’t just all doom and gloom.

Nineteen years and six full-length albums later — the latest, Conflict DLC, arrived in December 2025 — the band has been touring what seems like endlessly, selling out shows around the world and still finding time to drop releases while on the road. Case in point? On Thursday (April 9), Health released R-Type IV — the fourth in a series of remix albums that have been arriving mere weeks apart (R-Type I was released at the end of February) — with the set dropping just a day before back-to-back sold-out shows in Minneapolis followed by Chicago, with more sellouts ahead in Toronto, Brooklyn, D.C., Nashville and Austin. Not only that, the band has squeezed in collabs over the years with some of industrial and rock’s heavyweights — think Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor (“Isn’t Everyone”), Deftones’ Chino Moreno (“Anti-Life”), Bad Omens (“The Drain”), Lamb of God (“Cold Blood”) and Chelsea Wolfe (“Mean”), for starters. (The NIN and Bad Omens collabs hit Nos. 11 and 7, respectively, on Billboard‘s Hot Hard Rock Songs chart.)
Though constantly hard at work, the band finds time to share the lighter side of their lives and personalities, whether they’re touring or not, with bassist Famiglietti (aka Johnny Health) showing off a particularly fun side — and his cat ears! — in social media videos promoting Health’s shows and music. Some of that playfulness comes through via their merch stand, which has offered some — shall we say “fun”? — items for consenting adults, including band-branded condoms and yep, butt plugs.
But the band isn’t the only musical act with adult toys. For example, one Harry Styles launched his Pleasing line of pleasure products in July 2025, after all. What does Health think about the competition? Lead singer Duzsik shares his thoughts on that, the inspiration for their latest album, the record to introduce to people to the industrial genre, dream collabs and more.
1. Where are you in the world right now, and whats the setting like?
Home. Sitting at my desk in Los Angeles.
2. What is the first album or piece of music you bought for yourself, and what was the medium?
Alice In Chains, Dirt. On CD.
3. What did your parents do for a living when you were a kid, and what do or did they think of what you do for a living now?
My mom managed the warehouse of a moving company and my dad worked in a print shop. My family has always been very supportive of music.
4. What’s the first non-gear thing you bought for yourself when you started making money as an artist?
Booze.
5. If you had to recommend one album for someone looking to get into industrial music, what would you give them and why?
People can find a reason to complain about anything, and even if it seems too obvious, I’m going to say Nine Inch Nails’ The Downward Spiral. It did more to introduce a worldwide audience to industrial music than any other album. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
6. What’s the last song you listened to?
Bjork, “Hyperballad.”
8. You released Conflict DLC in December. For those who have never listened to Health before, how would you describe the album — and your sound — to encourage them to give the album a listen?
I’d call the sound Neo Industrial. I would say the album is an attempt at creating a collection of sad and dystopic songs that is still somehow fun. It’s not up to me to say if it was a success of not.
9. What topics have been the biggest influences for your most recent music, and why?
The general unraveling of civilization and our abrupt decent into a technocratic nightmare of ignorance and cognitive decline.
10. The band has some pretty fun slogans — “Sad music for horny people” and “cum metal,” for example. How did you come up with those?
John is the slogan man.
11. You’ve got some competition from Harry Styles, who last year started selling his “Pleasing Yourself” line of intimate products such as lube and vibrators, while you started selling butt plugs in 2023. What do you think of this new competition from him, and do you have any new toys planned to challenge his line of products?
If someone in Harry Styles’ camp was inspired by our “non traditional” merch, we would view it as a compliment.
12. It feels like Health is constantly on the road, yet you are also consistently and regularly releasing new music, whether it be new albums or remixes and collabs: two albums, three versions of Disco4 and five versions of R-Type, all between 2020 and end of April 2025. Where do you find the time?!
We try to never get out of the habit of writing new music. It’s just like anything else, once you stop it can be hard to start again.
13. You’ve had some amazing collabs over the years — Trent Reznor, Chino Moreno, Bad Omens and more. Who’s at the top of your dream collab list for next? Who’s been your favorite so far, and why? Any you can tease for the upcoming R-Types?
There are so many dream collabs, it’s hard to narrow it down. Depeche Mode and 2hollis would be high on the list for me. My personal favorite are the ones we did with Xiu Xiu as well as NIN.
14. Your music is, as you’ve put it, “sad,” but your online personas are hilarious, especially on social media. Was it a conscious decision to have such a dichotomy?
It feels like this is a more honest representation of how feel at the current moment. Simply being melancholy and mysterious seems a bit forced in the age of social media. At least for us it would.
15. You’re big into anime. For fans who’ve yet to explore this art form, which anime would you recommend for them to get started? And what are your personal favorites?
Start with the classics: Akira, Ghost in the Shell and Ninja Scroll. If you aren’t into it by then, you can stop trying to understand.
16. Speaking of anime, Megan Thee Stallion is also a huge fan, and is launching her own anime series with Amazon Prime. If you could have your own anime series, what would it be about, and which network/streamer would be the best fit?
John says, “A dark fantasy epic on Crunchyroll.”
17. Are there causes or charities involved with that you’d like people to know about?
I have a child, as such I’m very aware of how fortunate he is. In that context, I think charities like Unicef are hugely important and can really help. As a band we work closely with END OVERDOSE, and give out free fentanyl testing kits at our merch tables.
18. What’s your favorite place to listen to and experience industrial music?
In a dark warehouse made of crumbling brick and rusted steel … obviously.
19. What’s the best business decision you’ve ever made?
To stop killing myself with alcohol and drugs, I guess.
20. One piece of advice you’d give to your younger self?
Invest in bitcoin and buy property in New Zealand.
Hip-hop pioneer Afrika Bambaataa (born Lance Taylor) has died at age 68. According to TMZ, which first reported the news, the “Planet Rock” artist died Thursday (April 9) from complications due to cancer.
Born in The Bronx, Bambaataa began DJing block parties in the South Bronx in the early ’70s, which led to him being credited as an originator of breakbeat DJing and one of the influential architects of hip-hop culture alongside founding father DJ Kool Herc.

As a teenager, Bambaataa traded his Black Spades gang ties to form the Universal Zulu Nation following a trip to Africa. He went on to found rap groups like Jazzy 5 and the Soulsonic Force, and brought rap to the masses with his first tour in 1982.
Afrika Bambaataa teamed up with Soulsonic Force for 1982’s “Planet Rock.” The electronic-fused track gave Bambaataa his lone Billboard Hot 100 entry, with the song peaking at No. 48 in September 1982, and later appeared in NBA 2K7 in 2006. The “Planet Rock” remixes also reached No. 4 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart in July 1982.
Bam joined forces with George Clinton and James Brown throughout his career. His James Brown collab “Unity” hit No. 87 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart in 1984.
He was part of the Artists United Against Apartheid and contributed to the 1985 album Sun City, which peaked at No. 31 on the Billboard 200.
Afrika Bambaataa also infiltrated the Dance Club Songs chart, notching a top five hit on the chart in 1991 with “Just Get Up and Dance” (peak No. 4).
The innovative DJ’s death was confirmed by The Hip Hop Alliance on Thursday with a statement.
“As the founder of the Universal Zulu Nation, Afrika Bambaataa helped shape the early identity of Hip Hop as a global movement rooted in peace, unity, love, and having fun. His vision transformed the
Bronx into the birthplace of a culture that now reaches every corner of the world,” said executive director Rev. Dr. Kurtis Blow Walker.
“Through his music, leadership, and influence, he contributed to the foundation of Hip Hop’s core principles, inspiring generations of MCs, DJs, breakers, and cultural leaders. His imprint on Hip Hop
history is undeniable and will forever remain part of the culture’s origin story.”
Walker continued: “At the same time, we recognize that his legacy is complex and has been the subject of serious conversations within our community. As an organization committed to truth, accountability, and the preservation of Hip Hop culture, we believe it is important to hold space for all voices while continuing to uplift what empowers and protects the people. Today, we extend our condolences to all who were impacted by his life, his work, and his presence.”
Afrika Bambaataa’s legacy was muddied in recent years by a series of sexual abuse allegations against minors. He resigned from his position as head of the Universal Zulu Nation in 2016 following abuse allegations from activist Ronald Savage, who accused Bambaataa of molesting him when he was 15, and later recanted on his claims.
The Assassin Collective’s Solo accused Bambaataa of sexual abuse when the French rapper was 15. Bambaataa was also accused of sexually abusing and trafficking a minor, who remained anonymous as John Doe, in a civil lawsuit, which Bambaataa lost in 2025 due to a default judgment.
Billboard has reached out to Afrika Bambaataa’s reps for comment.
Giving credence to the saying “it’s not me, it’s you,” Taylor Momsen is beginning to think that touring with AC/DC might be a hazard to her health. The Pretty Reckless singer posted a video on Wednesday (April 8) in which she received medical treatment from a doctor in Mexico after she was bitten by a venomous spider.
“When do my superpowers kick in? That’s what I want to know,” a nonplussed Momsen says with a smile as a doctor cleans a nasty-looking bite mark on her lower right leg while another member of the medical team gives her a shot in her left arm in what looks like a green room backstage.
The brief video ends with a snippet of the old “Spider-Man, Spider-Man, does whatever a spider can” cartoon theme song.
You see, this is becoming a habit for Momsen, who revealed in the caption that this isn’t her first bite on a tour with the Australian hard rock legends. “🕷️🕷️🕷️ So it wouldn’t be an AC/DC tour if I didn’t get bit,” wrote Momsen. “This time a massive spider decided to take a chunk out of me and its venom did a number on my system so had to have the wonderful doctors in Mexico come and deliver quite the shot before the show last night…add it to the list!”
The last time Momsen toured with AC/DC in 2024, she was bitten by a bat while on the road in Spain during a performance of, no joke, “Witches Burn” from her band’s 2021 Death By Rock and Roll album. In a clip from the time, a bat landed on the singer’s thigh and she didn’t notice it at first. But after spotting some fans pointing at her she looked down and said, “There’s a f–king flying bat on my leg right now … I must really be a witch!”
A crewmember helped her remove the flying menace, but not before it sank into her leg, which sent her to a Spanish hospital, where she had to get treatment and two weeks of follow-up rabies shots. “Thanks to all the staff at the hospital who dubbed me #batgirl after seeing it on the local news that morning…more footage to come…that’s one for the books!!!!,” she wrote at the time.
She was equally chill about her latest unexpected venom incident, doubling-down on her joke from 2024, writing, “Spider woman? Batgirl? 🕷️🕷️🕷️🦇🦇🦇 WTF 😬”
Momsen has a couple days to rest before hitting the stage to warm-up for AC/DC at Estadio GNP Seguros in Mexico City on Saturday (April 11) and then again April 15. The band will then take some well-deserved time off before moving on to a European swing beginning with a June 5 show at the Rock Im Park festival in Nuremberg, Germany and then teaming back up with AC/DC in Charlotte, N.C. on July 11 for a North American summer stadium run in-between their own club shows.
Check out Momsen’s spider scene below.
Marc Jacobs is asking Sabrina Carpenter the right kinds of questions.
While conducting an interview with the singer for the April 7 issue of Perfect, the fashion mogul asked Carpenter how she would describe the importance of having a queer audience as a pop star in today’s day and age.

“I don’t think pop music would exist if it wasn’t for the queer community,” Carpenter begins her thoughtful response. “I don’t think some of our greatest pop stars would exist if it wasn’t for the queer community.”
Carpenter goes on to shout out the LGBTQ+ people in her life: “I feel so deeply connected. I mean, some of my greatest friends and collaborators and artists that I know are a part of the queer community or are just so celebratory of it.”
The Coachella headliner then speaks on how having the community with her has affected her work, saying that she doesn’t think going on tour would be as fun without them.
“I feel so connected and grateful to be able to have them be a part of my journey, to be a part of the world,” Carpenter concludes. Jacobs, an out gay man, agrees with Carpenter’s stance, saying, “Life is much more [colorful] and fun with [the queer community],” and, “It’s important sometimes to say it. Especially now.”
Carpenter has long been incredibly vocal in her support of the LGBTQ+ community. In partnership with non-profit PLUS1, the singer raised over $1 million for mental health initiatives, LGBTQ+ rights and animal welfare last year. In doing so, The Sabrina Carpenter Fund became the nonprofit’s fastest-growing artist fund to date.
Carpenter has also platformed LGBTQ+ artists in her work. Last August she enlisted openly queer Academy Award-winning actor Colman Domingo for her “Tears” music video. The video was inspired by the queer cult classic film The Rocky Horror Picture Show and featured Domingo playing Carpenter’s drag mother. When she debuted the track onstage at the VMAs the following month, Carpenter performed alongside drag artists and trans dancers who held up signs that read, “Protect Trans Rights,” “Support Local Drag” and “Dolls! Dolls! Dolls!”
Carpenter is set to headline Coachella on Friday (April 8). While we don’t know what surprises she might have planned for “her most ambitious show ever,” perhaps she’ll invite some drag artists from her past performances to the stage with her again.
Record Store Day 2026 will honor a longtime record store enthusiast this year with its coveted Record Store Legend award. The 77-year-old recipient, born in West Bromwich, England, has been frequenting record stores his whole life, most recently visiting brick-and-mortar locales in West Virginia; Kansas City, Missouri; Raleigh, North Carolina; and Austin, Texas. The vinyl-loving Englishman has even made a few albums himself over the years, releases you might find at a record store near you if you flip to the sections marked “Led Zeppelin,” “Robert Plant” or even his old covers band, “The Honeydrippers.”

Yes, Robert Plant—an eight-time Grammy winner, Rock & Roll Hall of Famer and a Kennedy Center Award recipient—was announced as the 2026 Record Store Legend on Wednesday (April 8).
“Record stores have always been a part of my life. For me, once you get to the physical record it’s because you really want to know and be a part of what the artist was considering,” Plant said in a statement. “And I know, as a guy who’s been making records since 1966, people want to take home something very special, to enjoy all the elements of what an artist has put together. We want a connection between the music and the art of the whole thing.”
In advance of the 2026 Record Store Day festivities on April 18, Plant visited the delightful Spillers Records—which Billboard profiled in 2023 as the world’s oldest record store—in Cardiff, Wales, where he now boasts a permanent Record Store Legend plaque.
“The universe already recognizes Robert Plant as a legend, as proven by the legacy of his decades of recording and performing,” Spillers Records’ Ashli Todd said in a statement. “But record shops of the world will know firsthand that above all, Robert Plant is a connoisseur of his craft whose appetite for musical discoveries has not waned with the passage of time. We could wax lyrical all day about what a passionate record shop supporter Robert Plant is, so suffice to say, it is our honor to be the chosen custodians of his Record Store Legend plaque.”
Record Store Day reliably has a celebrity ambassador each year—2026’s is Bruno Mars—but doles out the Record Store Legend award sparingly. Only Elton John and Johnny Marr have received it before.
