Dua Lipa has wrapped up the Melbourne leg of her Australian tour by bringing out a pair of acclaimed names for her ongoing cover portion.
Lipa launched her live appearances for 2025 earlier this month when she touched down in Australia as part of her ongoing Radical Optimism Tour. With five nights scheduled for Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena and three at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena, the excitement for the tour spilled over ahead of time when it was noted that all eight dates on her Australian trek had sold out – resulting in over 120,000 ticket sales.
So far, each of the Australian dates have seen Lipa dedicate the eighth song of her set to a special cover of an Australian artist. On March 17, AC/DC were given the honor when she performed “Highway to Hell,” with Natalie Imbruglia’s version of “Torn” making the cut, and Kylie Minogue’s ‘Can’t Get You Out of My Head” appearing in the set on March 20.

The final two Melbourne shows were taken up another notch, however, with Lipa welcoming the original artists for a special duet. On Saturday (March 22), Troye Sivan served as the guest of honor, joining Lipa to perform a version of his Grammy-nominated 2023 single “Rush.”

“This next song in the set is different every night,” Lipa explained, noting she had allocated the slot to feature a song “by a local artist” each night. “So tonight, I thought it would be a big mistake if I didn’t play one of my favorite, favorite artists ever who’s also a friend of mine.”
“This is a song I’ve been listening to for a really long time — I mean, 2023 until now, and forever more I’ll be listening to this song,” she added. “But this is a Saturday night banger, so I think it’s going to be a fun one.” Sivan then joined in unannounced to the sound of rapturous applause from the crowd.
The following night (Sunday, March 23), Lipa wrapped up the Melbourne leg of her tour, with the eighth song again being allocated to a song by an Australian artist. This time, she was again joined by the artist in question, with Vance Joy appearing to share a rendition of his 2013 single “Riptide.”
Joy’s “Riptide” topped the Rock Airplay chart upon its release, and was also nominated for both song of the year and best video at the 2013 ARIA Awards. It hasn’t, however, ever topped the Australian charts, though ARIA’s 2024 end-of-year report included the song as one of only five local songs in the chart, with its No. 24 placing being the highest for an Australian song that year.
Notably, Lipa’s point of sharing a song by a “local artist” each night seems only to extend to the nationality of each artist. While both Joy and Minogue are from Melbourne, Sivan hails from Perth (by way of South Africa), and Imbruglia and AC/DC are noted Sydney names. It’s currently unclear which Australian acts Lipa will add to her set in Sydney, though she will launch those dates on Wednesday (March 26).
Just 15 months on from their final performance, veteran rockers KISS have announced their return to the live stage with a one-off ‘unmasked’ concert.
The show was announced via an email sent to fans, confirming that the group would be performing as part of the three-day KISS Army Storms Vegas event, which runs from Nov. 14 – 16 at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas.

Though a full rundown of activities are said to arrive shortly, the headline of the message is KISS’ intention to perform a makeup-free show as part of the event. The performance will be the band’s first since December 2023, where they wrapped up their End of The Road Tour with a two-night stand at New York City’s Madison Square Garden.
Despite their large-scale farewell tour (their second, after 2001’s fittingly-titled KISS Farewell Tour), fans had speculated that the band could indeed take to the stage again at some point. Bassist Gene Simmons was quick to nix that claim, clarifying the band’s plans in an interview with Rolling Stone in November 2023: “I’ll say right here, right now, my hand on the Bible, it will be the final KISS-in-makeup appearance.”
Trending on Billboard
KISS had previously appeared without their makeup in 1983, beginning their ‘unmasked’ era alongside the release of their Lick It Up album. This era would continue until 1996, when the group readopted their iconic look ahead of their highly-anticipated Alive/Worldwide Tour.
Since the band’s final 2023 performance, news had emerged the group were to bring their live set to the digital space, with these appearances set to kick off in Las Vegas in 2027. “It’s a must-see, go-to experience,” Stanley told Billboard’s Behind the Setlist podcast in 2024. “It’s beyond anything that anyone else has contemplated.”
“We’re creating something that’s not a concert,” he added. “The idea of a hologram — and it’s not a hologram, but that term seems to get thrown around a lot — but the idea [of] a simulated concert is not what we want to do. Frankly, I would find that boring.”
Notably, the email sent to fans announcing the forthcoming November show also noted that “fans can expect a special live performance from former KISS member Bruce Kulick.” While it’s unclear if Kulick plans to perform with the band or separately as part of the event, the guitarist had previously been an official member from 1984 until 1996. One of only two musicians to have not worn makeup while a member of the band (the other being Mark St. John), Kulick had performed with the band again at their KISS Kruise events in 2018 and 2021.
News of the forthcoming show also coincides with the fact that Simmons had postponed 17 dates on his forthcoming tour to 2026. An announcement confirmed that the dates were not related to Simmons’ health, but offered no further details. This same tour also generated notice after Simmons revealed he would be offering fans the chance to serve as his “personal assistant & band roadie for the day.”

Ariana Grande’s Brighter Days Ahead, a short film accompanying the upcoming deluxe edition of her Eternal Sunshine album, will be showing in four cities on Sunday, March 30.
The film is set for screenings in Boca Raton, Chicago, Los Angeles and New York City.
Grande made the announcement via her Instagram Stories a week ahead of the scheduled film screenings, with a newspaper-themed “breaking news” alert published by a fictional paper called The Sunshine Spotlight.
The Sunshine Spotlight cover story linked to a sign-up page to request information about catching a Brighter Days Ahead screening. The sign-up form, hosted on Universal Music Group’s website, gives the direction to “sign up with your contact info below before 9:00 am et on March 26, 2025 to be the FIRST to hear all the details!” and clarifies that the “information request does not guarantee entry.”

On the page is also a movie poster for Brighter Days Ahead, as seen below, crediting it as a film written and directed by Christian Breslauer and Ariana Grande, and as a London Alley and The Lucky Bastards Inc production in association with Grande and Republic Records. Music for the short is from Grande’s new Eternal Sunshine Deluxe. Additional film credits go to costume designer Mimi Cutrell, editor Luis Caraza, production designer Alex Delgado and director of photography Jeff Cronenweth, ASC.
Breslauer previously directed a trio of Grande’s music videos for tracks from the standard Eternal Sunshine album: “Yes, And?,” “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)” and “The Boy Is Mine”; Caraza and Delgado also worked on the latter two videos. Cronenweth’s known for his work on films like Fight Club, One Hour Photo, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, Gone Girl and more.
The Eternal Sunshine deluxe album features six new songs: “Intro (End of the World) Extended,” “Twilight Zone,” “Warm,” “Dandelion,” “Past Life” and “Hampstead.” “Intro (End of the World)” (non-extended version) is the opening track of the original release, Grande’s 2024 album that spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
Both the Eternal Sunshine deluxe album and the companion film Brighter Days Ahead are expected on March 28.
Two teaser clips for Brighter Days Ahead have been released so far.
Ariana Grande’s Brighter Days Ahead will be released on March 28 and have screenings in select cities on March 30.

Playboi Carti captures his second No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, as his latest studio project, MUSIC, debuts atop the tally dated March 29. The set debuts with 298,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending March 20, according to Luminate. That marks the biggest week of 2025 for a rap album. It also arrives with the biggest streaming week for a rap set since 2023.
Playboi Carti previously topped the chart with his last release, Whole Lotta Red, which debuted atop the ranking dated Jan. 9, 2021. MUSIC is the artist’s third top 10-charting set, as he previously visited the region with 2018’s Die Lit, which reached No. 3.

Also in the top 10 of the new Billboard 200, LE SSERAFIM collects its fourth top 10-charting project, as 5th Mini Album HOT debuts at No. 9.
The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new March 29, 2025-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on March 25. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.
Of MUSIC’s 298,000 first-week equivalent album units, SEA units comprise 283,000 (equaling 284 million on-demand official streams of the 30 songs on the streaming edition of the album; it debuts at No. 1 on the Top Streaming Albums chart), album sales comprise 14,500 (it debuts at No. 3 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise 500.
With 298,000 units earned in its first week, MUSIC lands the biggest week in 2025 for a rap album, and the second largest overall among all albums — only the debut of The Weeknd’s Hurry Up Tomorrow was bigger so far this year, when it launched with 490,000 units (Feb. 15 chart). Further, as MUSIC’s songs tallied 384 million on-demand official streams combined, that marks the biggest streaming week for any album in nearly a year, since Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department collected 428.54 million clicks for its songs in its second week (May 11, 2024, chart). MUSIC nets the largest streaming week for any rap album since Drake’s For All the Dogs debuted with 514.01 million (Oct. 21, 2023, chart).
MUSIC was officially announced on Sept. 12, 2024, and went up for pre-order the same day. However, the set’s March 14 release date wasn’t announced until just two days before its arrival (March 12).
MUSIC debuts on the Billboard 200 largely from streaming activity, as it was available to purchase only as a digital download — as a widely available standard 30-song set, as well as three variants exclusive to the artist’s official webstore (the variants each have between one or two bonus tracks).
MUSIC will be issued on CD (across at least eight variants available to pre-order in his webstore) in the coming weeks. The album will also profit in the future from sales generated by an array of deluxe boxed sets (containing branded merch and a CD) that have been available to pre-order on his webstore since last September.
Lady Gaga’s MAYHEM falls to No. 2 in its second week on the Billboard 200, earning 74,000 equivalent album units (down 66%). The next six titles on the list are all former No. 1s. Kendrick Lamar’s GNX drops 2-3 (71,000; down 13%), PARTYNEXTDOOR and Drake’s $ome $exy $ongs 4 U dips 3-4 (66,000; down 15%), SZA’s SOS slips 4-5 (62,000; down 9%), Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet is steady at No. 6 (57,000; down 7%), Tate McRae’s So Close To What falls 5-7 (52,000; down 18%) and Bad Bunny’s Debí Tirar Más Fotos is a non-mover at No. 8 (50,000; down 4%).
LE SSERAFIM collects its fourth top 10-charting effort on the Billboard 200 as 5th Mini Album HOT starts at No. 9 with 45,500 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, album sales comprise 38,500 (it debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 7,000 (equaling 9.42 million on-demand streams of the five songs on the streaming edition of the album) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. Sales of the set were bolstered by its availability across more than 20 CD variants (all containing collectible paper ephemera, some randomized).
Rounding out the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200 is Morgan Wallen’s former No. 1 One Thing at a Time, which falls 9-10 with 42,000 equivalent album units earned (down 3%).

Fans who can’t get enough of Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco‘s I Said I Love You First have more to explore with a newly released version of the album, I Said I Love You First – Explained: Narrated by Selena Gomez.
As Gomez explained on Sunday (March 23) in posts on social media, “benny and I made so many amazing memories throughout the process of creating our new album. I wanted to let you guys in on some of those stories and the making of these songs. I Said I Love You First – Explained: Narrated by Selena Gomez is available for digital download on my official store now!”
Partners in music and romance (the couple announced their engagement in December), Gomez and Blanco unveiled their joint album — the follow-up to Gomez’s 2020 set, Rare, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 that year — on Friday, March 21. I Said I Love You First‘s full release was preceded by singles including “Call Me When You Break Up” featuring Gracie Abrams and “Sunset Blvd.”
Trending on Billboard
Also new from Gomez and Blanco this weekend is a surprise release of a bonus track, with a title that should sound familiar to longtime fans.
Some time pre-Rare, but after 2015’s Revival, Gomez was brewing up music that never saw a release. From that era is a song called “Stained,” originally produced by Blanco, and first teased in 2016 when the singer shared a snippet. The track eventually leaked in full on the internet, but didn’t make the cut on either of Gomez’s next two albums.
“Eight years later and you guys never forgot about this song,” she wrote to fans over the weekend. “Your love for Stained has never gone away and I wanted to do something special to say thank you for all the love and support on the album. Stained is now available exclusively on my official store for a limited time only.”
In a livestream that was recorded bya fan over the weekend, Gomez gave listeners (and Blanco, who was on the stream with her) some background on what had happened with “Stained,” saying, “You know, I actually loved that song and I was nervous … I remember I was still nervous to curse in a song. I don’t know what happened. I’m sure I leaked it on accident, or I did something. But it got out, and I’m kind of happy that it did.”
I Said I Love You First – Explained: Narrated by Selena Gomez is available as a digital download for $5 on Gomez’s webstore here. A digital download of her I Said I Love You First album with bonus track “Stained” is also priced at $5, and it can be found on Gomez’s webstore here.
See Gomez’s TikTok clips below to catch her singing along to “Stained.” She also shares details about the narrated version of I Said I Love You First, noting, “Basically I get to tell a little story about each song on the album, so I can explain it to you guys and you can see how I view them. I’d love to know your thoughts as well and how you relate to it all.”

It was a bit past midnight, and a shirtless and sweaty J Balvin was backstage at the Kaseya Center in Miami chit-chatting and drinking with some of his closest friends. Ryan Castro, Justin Quiles, Sky Rompiendo, Mau & Ricky, and Balvin’s model wife Valentina Ferrer were all there Saturday (March 22), celebrating the wrap of the third night of his Back to the Rayo Tour, which launched Thursday in Atlanta.
Balvin (real name: José Álvaro Osorio Balvin) was ecstatic to be back in the 305, and to be kicking off the North American leg of his CMN-produced, 27-date trek in support of his Grammy-nominated album Rayo. In 2022, the Colombian artist was set to begin his José U.S. tour, but it was postponed because of “unforeseen production challenges” due to COVID-19.

Three years later, he’s back on the road and not braking.
Inspired by the classic ‘80s film Back to the Future (hence the tour’s name), Balvin — in true fashion — delivered an immersive concert experience for fans. His stage elements were simple yet vibrant, futuristic and captivating: two large LED panels, a floating LED panel and a silver car in which Balvin made his grand entrance. For the second part of the show, a large, purple head and praying hands took over the stage.
Balvin, as well as a group of six dancers, DJ Pope (his longtime DJ) and backup singer O’Neil carried the two-hour-long spectacle, delivering the back-to-back bangers that have made Balvin a global sensation: “Reggaetón,” “Con Altura,” “6 AM,” “Ay Vamos,” “Ginza,” “Mi Gente,” “La Canción” and many more.
“¡Qué chimba Miami! I don’t want to leave. If it were up to me, I’d stay parchando [partying] here until 7 a.m.,” he told the packed venue. “Straight from Medellín, I am your parcero [friend] José. I’m proud of being Latino and of taking reggaetón to other levels.”
Below, check out some highlights from his Miami tour stop:
A Tribute to Colombia
In the middle of the show, after performing some of his latest songs, such as “Polvo de tu Vida” and “+57,” Balvin proudly showed off his Colombian roots. The lights on the stage reflected the colors of his native country’s flag (yellow, blue and red), and his DJ played a mix of emblematic songs from Colombian artists, starting with Joe Arroyo’s “Rebelión.” The salsa tuned was followed by Shakira’s “Hips Don’t Lie,” Karol G’s “Si Antes te Hubiera Conocido” and Maluma’s “Según Quién” in collaboration with Carín León, before Balvin brought out the first special guest of the night.
Special Guests
As part of the Colombian tribute, Balvin invited Ryan Castro to the stage. There, Castro performed “El Ritmo Que Nos Une,” “Parte y Choke,” “Fan De Su Relación” and “Jordan.” Shortly after, Balvin also invited Puerto Rican artist Justin Quiles to sing some of his greatest tunes for the audience, including “Jeans,” “Cuaderno” and “Loco.” As the crowd danced to Castro and Quiles’ mini sets, Balvin was taking shots. “I’ve never drank so much alcohol in a concert,” he said with a laugh.
Love Is in the Air
A heartfelt moment during Balvin’s show was when he performed his romantic reggaetón song “Rio,” named after his son. He not only dedicated the song to his partner and mother of his child, Valentina, who was in the audience with her parents, but also took the time to give out flower bouquets to his fans. “I still remember when I would come to Miami to vacation, and now I’m here. How cool!” an emotional Balvin said. “It’s worth working hard. I love you!”

K-Pop supergroup NJZ, formerly known as NewJeans, announced during a show at ComplexCon Hong Kong on Sunday (March 23) night that “this might be our last performance for a little while.”
It was the first time NJZ appeared together since Friday (March 21), when a Seoul Court granted the band’s former management company Ador — whom they’ve been in a dispute with since mid-2024 — a preliminary injunction prohibiting the girl group from “organizing their own appearances and [conducting] any independent activities — from making music to signing advertising deals,” according to BBC.
After debuting a new song, “Pit Stop,” the five members (Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin and Hyein), visibly nervous, gathered onstage, stopped the music and took turns reading from a letter, addressing “their bunnies” in English and Korean.
Trending on Billboard
“This stage means so much to us and every single one of you who gives us strength just by being here,” Hanni and Dani read. “It is really hard for us to say this, but this might be our last performance for a little while. Out of respect for the court’s decision, we’ve decided to pause all our activities for now. It wasn’t an easy decision, but we believe this is something we need to do at this moment.
The speech (read in full below) came at the end of an hour-long headlining set in front of a sold-out crowd of more than 11,000 fans at the AsiaWorld Expo Arena, Hong Kong’s largest live music venue.
The performance that preceded the remarks focused on “solo stages” from the five group members as they covered R&B songs. It left many in the audience — who showed up to hear new music from their favorite artists — scratching their heads, as it was a departure from NJZ’s high-energy productions, polished choreography and vibrant stage presence. The covers ranged from TLC’s “No Scrubs” from Danielle; UPSAHL’s “Smile For The Camera” from Minji; “Dontcha” from Haerin; SWV’s “Use Your Heart” from Hyein; and Ghost Town DJ’s “My Boo” from Hanni.
In February, NewJeans announced they were changing their name to NJZ as they were added to the ComplexCon bill. BBC reports that the dispute over the group arises from Hybe, the parent company of Ador, allegedly forcing out NewJeans’ mentor, Min Hee-Jin. At a press conference in November, NewJeans announced their departure, saying Hybe and Ador had lost the right to represent them as artists. NJZ says they will challenge Friday’s decision.
This is the second year of ComplexCon, the global streetwear and pop culture festival, in China. In 2024, the event attracted more than 30,000 international attendees. The U.S. edition moved to Las Vegas in 2024 after eight years in Los Angeles. In 2025, over three days, the festival hosted 150 brands, 40 musicians and groups, and 400 creators across music, design, movies and sports.
NJZ had a merch booth inside the ComplexCon marketplace, which commanded a line of more than 2,000 people on Sunday alone. However, the booth was shuttered after it sold out of all new NJZ merchandise.
This year’s Complex LIVE! Concerts, which brought together South Korean, Japanese, Chinese and American hip-hop artists and DJs, featured the Hong Kong debuts of Quavo and Metro Boomin, who headlined the opening night.

“This stage means so much to us and every single one of you who gives us strength just by being here. It is really hard for us to say this, but this might be our last performance for a little while. Out of respect for the court’s decision, we’ve decided to pause all our activities for now. It wasn’t an easy decision, but we believe this is something we need to do at this moment.
Honestly, we’ve known from the start that this journey wasn’t going to be easy and even though we accept the court’s ruling and this whole process, we had to speak up to protect the values that we believe in, and that was a choice that we don’t regret at all. We surely believe that standing up for our dignity, our rights and everything we deeply care about is something we had to do, and that belief will not change.
We understand and know that today’s news might be disappointing or upsetting but it was not an easy decision for us to make either. But at the moment for us, it’s about protecting ourselves so that we can come back even stronger.
There was a lot that we had to go through … things that really we only know about. But even [through] all that, there are so many things that we wanted to share with you guys and so many fun plans that we are excited to announce. But right now, though, it feels too hard to keep going at this pace, and as strong as we are trying to stay, it has honestly taken a bit of mental and emotional toll on us. However, this doesn’t mean that we are going to give up. We will keep pushing forward no matter what, and coming to Hong Kong and receiving all this love and support from you guys at ComplexCon gave us so much strength.
Right now, our hearts are a little bit worn out, and it feels a bit too hard to keep going at this pace. But that doesn’t mean we’re going to give up; we’re going to keep going. With this decision we’ve made, we’re respecting the court’s decision, and for now, it’s just us taking a step back to pause, take a breath and gather our hearts and ourselves before moving forward.
To everybody who has been believing in us and supporting us through everything from the bottom of our hearts, thank you, and we love you so, so, so, so much, and we can’t express how grateful we are, and we promise, no matter what the circumstances we will meet again soon.”
