#FestivalSeason

Arcade Fire is back and weirder than ever with their new album Pink Elephant, dropping May 9. The lead single “Year of the Snake” is already out, and the band’s dropped a new fan app loaded with exclusive content. Think “mystical punk” meets existential crisis—and yeah, we’re here for it.

Scammers are out here pretending to be Billboard, offering fake promo in exchange for crypto. Here’s why you shouldn’t fall for it—and where to actually go to learn about music and legit crypto tools.

Machine Gun Kelly hopped on Instagram to shut down the internet’s latest meltdown over his and Megan Fox’s newborn—no, her name is not “Celestial Seed.” Turns out, even MGK thinks that sounds ridiculous.

Gorillaz are back at it with a brand-new album confirmed for 2025. Damon Albarn says it’s dropping later this year, right after he finishes writing a sequel to Mozart’s The Magic Flute. Yep, that’s real.

As the spring air kicks into high gear, so does festival season—and Outside Lands 2025 just lit the fuse. With Tyler, the Creator, Doja Cat, and Hozier leading the charge, this summer’s event in Golden Gate Park is shaping up to be a must-see. While you’re soaking up the vibes, don’t miss your shot to score FREE tickets to Welcome to Rockville—exclusively through the Static Live app.

Linkin Park just called their new single “Up from the Bottom” the best thing they’ve ever created. Big words, but can they back it up? Here’s when it drops—and how you can win tickets to see them live at Welcome to Rockville!

A$AP Rocky just set the bar sky-high—literally. At Rolling Loud California 2025, the Harlem icon made a dramatic helicopter entrance before unleashing new music, sending the crowd into a frenzy. Rihanna was front and center as Rocky delivered banger after banger, including an unreleased Metro Boomin-produced track. Is Don’t Be Dumb finally on the way, or is he just keeping us guessing?
