As Haim ready the release of their long-awaited fourth album, the trio of siblings have dropped an extensive run of North American and U.K. tour dates.
The Haim sisters officially confirmed the title of their upcoming album only a week ago during a show at The Bellwether theater in Los Angeles on April 23. The show itself was their first full show in nearly two years, with the trio revealing that I Quit will be their moniker of their fourth LP.

As the countdown to the record’s release slowly ticks away, Haim have now unveiled a run of tour dates to occupy them during the latter half of the year.
Launching their upcoming tour plans with festival dates across the U.K, Europe, and Japan over the summer, the I Quit tour will see the trio embark upon a 23-date tour of the U.S. and Canada between September and October, before returning to the U.K. that same month with a six date run of shows.
In a recent interview in i.d. magazine, self-proclaimed “serial monogamist” Danielle said the new album is the first they’ve made without the involvement of her longtime boyfriend, producer Ariel Rechtshaid, and that she’s single for the first time since 2011. “Being single now, I’m just trying to embrace it, because I’m… I feel like I’m the age where I need to embrace it,” she said.
Alana said that the album is “the closest we’ve ever gotten to how we wanted to sound,” with Danielle diplomatically adding that working again with another longtime collaborator Rostam was “very quick, kinetic with him, which I really love as an artist… Maybe before, it wasn’t that way, it was kind of a more… longer, searching, labored situation.”

For the past few weeks Jim Jones has been on his grizzly dropping off new videos in support of his latest album, At The Church’s Steps, and sure enough the Harlem representative continues to churn out new work to keep his momentum alive.
Linking up with Rick Ross and Ron E for his new visuals to “Deep End,” the three artists show us just how lovely life is like when you’re a rap star as they pop bottles of bubbly, floss bricks of ice on their hands, and stunt next to Rick Ross’ private jet in a plan hanger with a few thick young women. We stay forgetting that Rozay has his own private jet.
Back in Shaolin the Wu-Tang Clan get back into that mode and for their Benny The Butcher assisted cut to “Warriors Two/Cooley High,” the artists let AI create some visual art and take us back to the prohibition era when bootlegging booze was a must and racial tensions were at an all-time high.
Check out the rest of today’s drops including work from Eladio Carrion and Big Sean, Key Glock, and more.

Taking place Aug. 1-3 at Crypto.com Arena in L.A., 2025’s KCON LA will also have a theme: “KLOVER’S CLUB FAIR.” Drawing inspiration from lucky four-leaf clovers, the event will feature different stages and activities that cater specifically to K-pop fans while promising the good fortune of access to their favorite artists. And those who love Korean culture as a whole will have much to experience in addition to music, with stations focusing on fashion, beauty and food.
The L.A. installment of KCON is just one of many that take place annually around the world, with the festival also hosting iterations in Japan, Hong Kong, Germany, United Arab Emirates, France, Mexico, Australia, Thailand and Saudi Arabia since first kicking off in the United States in 2012. In 2024, KCON LA attracted more than 5.9 million fans from 170+ countries, both on-site and through virtual opportunities to join in.
The 2025 KCON LA will be extra special for the guys of P1Harmony, who will return this year after performing at last year’s festival as well. “It’s really a convention to show off Korean culture and what’s hot and upcoming in Korean culture, like K-beauty, music, food,” band leader Keeho told Billboard backstage at the 2024 event.

He added at the time: “To be able to go there and just be part of that wave of representation, and showcase what’s new, I feel like it’s really really good to take part.”

President Donald Trump will mark 100 days in office this Wednesday (April 30), and it is typically a gauge of the performance and actions of the nation’s sitting leader and their administration. A new poll from CNN highlighted that President Donald Trump has the lowest approval numbers of any sitting president over the past 80 years.
CNN released its poll findings on Sunday and revealed that President Trump has a 41% approval rating, which is lower than the first 100 days of his first time in office. Since last month, Trump has lost 4 points and is down 7 points dating back to February.
The poll numbers also show a tumble in approval ratings from both women and Hispanic voters, and show that Trump is down 7 points with both, with women clocking in at 36% and 28% with Hispanics. Across party lines, Trump still sits strong with Republican respondents of the poll at 86%, with 93% of Democrats showing disapproval. Independent voters revealed 31% approval numbers, which matches his lowest numbers with that group dating back to January 2021.
Respondents also gave the president lower marks on how his reduction in force for the federal government has been handled, with Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) leading efforts that was purported to cut costs and help lower the nation’s debt. Trump has a 42% approval rating on this front.
Regarding foreign affairs, namely Trump’s cozying up to Russian leader Vladimir Putin and his posture on the world stage regarding the annexing of Canada and Greenland, showed a 60% disapproval rate.
Trump has called for investigations into The New York Times, ABC News/The Washington Post, and Fox News regarding his polling numbers, connecting the reports to “election fraud.”
The full poll results can be seen here.
