Happy Concert Week!Rolling Stone can exclusively unveil that Peso Pluma, Feid, and Fuerza Regida are among the cohort of Latino artists joining Live Nation’s annual initiative of lowering ticket prices to $25 and shaving off pesky fees for an entire week.

Among the 900 artists joining the initiative is a large group of Latino acts, including Mon Laferte, Chiquis, Los Bukis on their historic Vegas residency, Mexican pop group Belanova on their reunion tour, and ranchera superstar Pepe Aguilar on his Jaripeo Hasta Los Huesos tour.

“Teaming up with Live Nation’s Concert Week is incredibly meaningful to me — it’s about giving back the joy of live music to my amazing fans,” Chiquis tells Rolling Stone about her upcoming Diamante tour. “This tour isn’t just about my hits — it’s about creating unforgettable moments together… Let’s shine bright like diamonds together!”

Other acts joining the initiative are rock bands Caifanes and Café Tacvba on their co-headlining run, Grupo Firme, Moenia, and “Te Quedó Grande la Yegua” singer Alicia Villarreal.

The lower pricing for tickets applies to different venues and locations depending on the act, and different quantities of Concert Week tickets will be available for each location. Fans can receive more information on Live Nation’s website. Tickets for concert week will first be available to T-Mobile and Rakuten customers on May 7, before the general on-sale starts on May 8 at 10 a.m. ET through May 14 at 11:9 pm local time.

“Live Nation’s Concert Week celebrates live events by giving fans an unbeatable opportunity to purchase $25 tickets to thousands of the most sought-after shows,” said Kelly Strickland, President of Concerts Marketing at Live Nation. “This year promises to be the biggest Concert Week yet.”

This year marks the tenth year Live Nation celebrates Concert Week. This year, more than 5,000 shows in the United States will be eligible for Concert Week pricing. The initiative will also expand to other countries, including Australia, Spain, England, Germany, Taiwan, and Switzerland.

Pierre Lapointe, Grand duke of broken souls

Many years ago, while studying theatrical performance at Cégep de Saint-Hyacinthe, Pierre Lapointe was given a peculiar exercise by his teacher. The students were asked to walk from one end of the classroom to the other while observing their peers. Based solely on their gait, posture, and gaze, they had to assign each other certain qualities, a character, or even a profession.

Lapointe remembers being told that there was something princely about him. That was not exactly the term that this young, queer student, freshly emancipated from the Outaouais region and marked by a childhood tinged with near-chronic sadness, would have instinctively chosen for himself. Though he had been unaware of his own regal qualities, he has spent more than 20 years trying to shed this image, one he admits he may have subtly cultivated in his early days.

Sabrina Carpenter Is Viscously Clever and Done With Love Triangles on ‘Short N’ Sweet’: 5 Takeaways

Sabrina Carpenter Is Viscously Clever and Done With Love Triangles on ‘Short N’ Sweet’: 5 Takeaways

After Sabrina Carpenter’s summer takeover with “Espresso” and “Please Please Please,” the anticipation for Short n’ Sweet was at an all-time high. On her sixth album, the pop singer keeps the surprises coming as she delivers a masterclass in clever songwriting and hops between R&B and folk-pop with ease. Carpenter writes about the frustration of modern-day romance, all the while cementing herself as a pop classic. Here’s everything we gathered from the new project.

Please Please Please Don’t Underestimate Her Humor

Carpenter gave us a glimpse of her humor on singles “Espresso” and “Please Please Please” — she’s working late because she’s a singer; ceiling fans are a pretty great invention! But no one could have guessed how downright hilarious she is on Short n’ Sweet, delivering sugary quips like “The Lord forgot my gay awakenin’” (“Slim Pickins”) and “How’s the weather in your mother’s basement?” (“Needless to Say”). She’s also adorably nerdy, fretting about grammar (“This boy doesn’t even know/The difference between ‘there,’ ‘their’ and ‘they are!’”) and getting Shakespearian (“Where art thou? Why not uponeth me?”). On “Juno,” she even takes a subject as serious as pregnancy and twists it into a charming pop culture reference for the ages: “If you love me right, then who knows?/I might let you make me Juno.” It’s official: Do not underestimate Ms. Carpenter’s pen. — A.M.

RFK Jr. Suspends Campaign, Endorses Trump

RFK Jr. Suspends Campaign, Endorses Trump

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has suspended his 2024 presidential campaign, and according to a court filing in Pennsylvania on Friday will throw his weight behind former President Donald Trump.

Multiple news outlets reported on Wednesday that independent presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr. was planning to drop out of the race and endorse Trump. He clarified at an event in Arizona on Friday that he is not terminating his campaign, only suspending it, and that his name will remain on the ballot in non-battleground states. He said that if enough people still vote for him and Trump and Kamala Harris tie in the Electoral College, he could still wind up in the White House.

The Chicks’ ‘Not Ready to Make Nice’ Has Somehow Become a MAGA Anthem on TikTok

The Chicks’ ‘Not Ready to Make Nice’ Has Somehow Become a MAGA Anthem on TikTok

One little funny/bizarre/horrifying thing about the internet is the way it offers up everything and, in doing so, makes it possible to strip anything of its history. But to paraphrase Kamala Harris, you didn’t just fall out of the coconut tree. “You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you” — wise words worth heeding, especially for all the Trump voters and conservatives making TikToks with the Chicks’ “Not Ready to Make Nice.”

Over the past month or so, “Not Ready to Make Nice” has become an unexpected MAGA anthem of sorts, meant to express a certain rage at liberals supposedly telling conservatives what to do all the time (the past few Supreme Court terms notwithstanding, apparently). Young women especially have taken the song as a way to push back against the possibility of Harris becoming the first female president.
