Never would I have thought, here in the grand year of 2025, salacious gossip would break out as the result of a Coldplay concert. But, earlier this week at Foxborough’s Gillette Stadium, Chris Martin spilled the tea on a current affair. A kiss cam caught Andy Byron, the married CEO of data infrastructure company Astronomer, in an embrace with the firm’s HR chief Kristin Cabot, who is not his wife. As you no doubt saw by now, the coworkers tried to hide as tens of thousands of concertgoers watched on Gillette’s big screen. “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy,” Coldplay frontman Chris Martin quipped. As video footage of the awkward moment went super viral the morning after the show, the internet had a field day with memes and Byron’s wife dropped his last name from her Facebook profile. Now there are workplace consequences for the two Coldplay fans at the center of the story.

Last year, metal fans were spurned by the Capulet Fest, a three-day metal festival that was supposed to happen at Connecticut’s Thompson Speedway on June 28-30, 2024. Over the course of a few days, the festival slowly deteriorated: capacity was lowered, then bands were axed, until finally the last day was fully cancelled. Now there is closure for those that requested refunds to no avail.

Robin Kester is back with another otherworldly Dark Sky Reserve track. To follow “Departure,” “Happy Sad (It’s A Party)” and “An Hour Per Day,” the Dutch musician is releasing another enrapturing gem called “The Daylight.”

Double Wish’s eponymous debut is shaping up to be an entrancing listen. Previous singles “Tattooed Heart,” “Papers,” and “Seatbelt (Deeper Ecstasy)” indicate as such, and so does this glimmering new one called “How Often Do You Think Of Me.”

The Late Show With Stephen Colbert is coming to an end. The beloved talk show host announced the news during tonight’s taping, revealing that CBS is eliminating the entire late-night franchise due to a “financial decision.” The finale will arrive in May 2026.

Earlier this year Michelle Zauner returned with the latest Japanese Breakfast album, For Melancholy Brunettes (& sad women). Since then, the indie darling covered Gorillaz at Coachella, performed “I Love You Always Forever” with Donna Lewis in Brooklyn, and released “My Baby (Got Nothing At All)” for the A24 romantic comedy film Materialists. Now she’s joining the South Korean indie rock band Silica Gel for an exquisite new tune called “NamgungFEFERE.”

Earlier this year runo plum teamed up with Hovvdy for “Shooting Star.” The pairing made sense, as the Minnesota-based singer-songwriter makes soft, sweeping indie tunes similar to the Texas duo’s. Her new one “Lemon Garland” is out today, and it comes with the news of her Winspear signing.

Blood Orange mastermind Dev Hynes is always busy doing film and TV scores and helping other people out on their records, but he hasn’t released a full-on Blood Orange album since 2018’s Negro Swan. That’s about to change. Last month, Blood Orange released the new single “The Field,” an absolutely gorgeous collaboration with an unexpected group of people: the Durutti Column, Tariq Al-Sabir, Caroline Polachek, and Daniel Caesar. That turns out to be the first single from a new Blood Orange album called Essex Honey. It’s coming out next month, and it’ll feature a great many collaborators, some of whom have worked with Blood Orange before and some of whom are entirely new to the fold, or to music itself.
