In a few days, Lola Young’s new album I’m Only F**king Myself will be here. In the lead-up to the album, she has also been busting out some covers.

Back in February, she covered the Arctic Monkeys classic “I Wanna Be Yours,” and now, she has taken to the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge. There, she turned in a rendition of Sabrina Carpenter’s latest hit, “Manchild.” Young’s performance puts her powerhouse vocals at the forefront as she’s backed by a groovy live band. Here’s a clip.

Carpenter, meanwhile, is fresh off performing at the VMAs, and over the past month, it was announced she’s headlining Lollapalooza’s South American festivals and Coachella in 2026.

Mark Ronson has led quite the life in and adjacent to show business, and now he has chronicled it in a new book, Night People: How To Be A DJ In ’90s New York City, which was released today (September 16).

Ronson spoke with Today about his motivations behind writing the book, saying, “I love the music from that era, the ’90s and early 2000s — it was a time in my life where I was so excited. You know, you’re 18, 19, finding your passion and your craft. And then, to be honest, a lot of my friends in that era were passing, so I wanted to find a way to remember them and this amazing little scene that we made.”

Ronson also shared with the show an anecdote about how his mother once brought Robin Williams home when he was a kid to surprise him.

The publisher’s description of the book reads:

“Lady Gaga, Adele, Amy Winehouse, Dua Lipa, Bruno Mars, Miley Cyrus, the Barbie soundtrack — behind some of the biggest musical moments in the past two decades is one man: Mark Ronson. Night People conjures the undeniable magic of the city’s bygone nightlife — a time when clubs were diverse, glamorous, and a little lawless, and each night brought a heady mix of music, ambition, danger, delight, and possibility. It’s about the beauty of what you can create with just two Technics and a mixer, in a golden era before Giuliani, camera phones, and bottle service upended everything. It’s also about a teenager finding his way — stalking DJ Stretch Armstrong and biting his mixes, crate-digging in every corner of New York, grinding gig after gig through a decade of incredible music — and finding a community of people who, in their own strange, cracked ways, lived for the night.

Organized around the venues that defined his experience of the downtown scene, Ronson evokes the specific rush of that decade and those spaces — where fashion folks and rappers on the rise danced alongside club kids and 9-to-5’ers — and invites us into the tribe of creatives and partiers who came alive when the sun went down. A heartfelt coming-of-age tale, Night People is the definitive account of ’90s New York nightlife and the making of a musical mastermind.”

Last year, Faye Webster put her interest in yoyo at the forefront and launched the Faye Webster YoYo Invitational. Webster apparently had a pretty good time with it, as today (September 16), she announced the return of the event.

This time will be different, though. The event is now called just the Faye Webster Invitational and that’s due to its expanded scope: Aside from yoyo, the event — now spanning two days, from October 25 to 26 — will highlight LiveBall tennis and chess. Of those, though, only the yoyo showcase and concert will be open to ticketed audiences. It’s all going down in Webster’s hometown of Atlanta.

The yoyo showcase and concert will be on October 26 at The Eastern. It is set to feature 12 yoyo masters unleashing “their most daring, intricate, and mesmerizing tricks in a no-rules, no-limitations showcase,” as well as a solo performance from Webster and special guest Erika De Casier. Tickets go on pre-sale starting September 17 at noon ET, followed by the general on-sale starting September 19 at 10 a.m. ET. More information can be found here.

October 25 will feature the tennis tournament at Sharon Lester Tennis Center at Piedmont Park. On the 26th will be the chess tournament, featuring 100 competitors. Details for interested participants will be available here on September 23

In a 2021 interview with Uproxx, Webster explained how she first got into yoyo, saying, “I just got one for Christmas, just as like a sh*tty stocking stuffer. It was right before we went on tour, so I just brought it not thinking that I’d actually use it every day. It wasn’t really until I found other players online and connected with them and actually saw what it could escalate to. That’s when I realized how fun it is.”

Goldenvoice has announced the lineup for the 2026 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, and per usual, it features a who’s-who of today’s biggest acts and hottest rising stars from across seemingly every genre. However, if you’re a hip-hop fan, you may notice that there’s significantly less of it on the new lineup than there was on this year’s, when Megan Thee Stallion and Missy Elliott held court on the biggest stages, or even years past, when the biggest names on the flyer were also the biggest in the hip-hop scene.

And while the headlines for next year’s festival have an emphasis on pop — with Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, and Karol G closing the three nights, respectively — there are still plenty of hip-hop acts being highlighted that deserve your attention.

Here are the rappers and hip-hop acts you should check out at Coachella 2026, and why.

Central Cee

UK rap rarely reaches such heights in the US, so it’s usually a good sign when us Yanks show so much buy-in for what a Brit’s selling. In Cee’s case, that’s compelling, autobiographical storytelling with a motivational bent, and a carefully designed climb including strategic collabs with American pop rap mainstays like Drake and street faves like Lil Baby and 21 Savage. As a result, his debut album Can’t Rush Greatness was the first top-ten UK rap album in America, along with its chart-topping bow across the pond.

Clipse

This performance will be a capstone of sorts to Malice and Pusha T’s reunion tour, which has seen the Virginian sibling act take stages as far-flung and historical as the Vatican. Let God Sort Em Out has held a solid place in the general discourse as one of the top rap albums of the year, and earning a second-line billing at Coachella is a testament to fans’ enthusiasm for Clipse’s comeback.

Little Simz

Another Londoner who has managed to carve out a niche here in the States, Simz’s appeal is different from Cee’s in a few key ways. For one, her brand is more multimedia, as standout screen roles in properties like Top Boy, Venom, and the upcoming Steve make her more recognizable, and projects such as Sometimes I Might Be Introvert or her newest album Lotus have endeared her to fans of more heady, expansive rap.

Sexyy Red

What a stellar career Sexyy Red has had. An unlikely star from St. Louis, her raunchy raps caught on with audiences in a way that went from a jokey embrace to one that was as earnest as the love for any pop star; Through it all, Sexyy stayed true to herself. Other markers of her broad appeal: a hosting gig for WWE and EDM collaborations for movie soundtracks. Get it, Sexyy.

Young Thug

If there’s one absolutely can’t-miss rap act on the Coachella bill, it’s Young Thug. After spending nearly two years incarcerated on trumped-up charges before accepting a plea deal for his freedom last year, Thug began to dip his toes back into performing earlier this year with a pair of well-received sets at smaller festivals. Accepting a Coachella billing says he’s ready to get back to work in earnest, and that he might just have a new full-length body of work ready to perform by new April.

The DC-area edition of the All Things Go festival is set to launch soon, running from September 26 to 28 at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Maryland. This year’s lineup is led by Noah Kahan, Doechii, Djo, Lucy Dacus, Clairo, Kesha, The Marías, Faye Webster, and more.

For those who can’t make it in person, Amazon Music announced today (September 16), that they will exclusively livestream this year’s festival. The broadcast will be available on the Amazon Music channel on Twitch and Prime Video.

Kirdis Postelle, global head of content for Amazon Music, said in a statement, “Streaming All Things Go was a no brainer for us at Amazon Music. All Things Go has built an incredible reputation for showcasing groundbreaking artists and fostering an inclusive community of passionate music lovers. This livestream allows us to extend that special festival experience beyond Merriweather Post Pavilion to audiences everywhere.”

Despite the historical success of her debut album, Invasion Of Privacy, Cardi has never actually toured to promote that project, due to one thing or another.

But now that her long-awaited follow-up, <Am I The Drama?/em>, is finally on the way, Cardi has announced her Little Miss Drama tour dates to go along with it.

Tickets go on sale Thursday, September 25 at 10 AM local; Citi cardmembers and Verizon customers will have access to presale tickets beginning Monday, September 22 at 7 AM local. You can find more info at cardib.com/tour.

Over the past few days, it was rumored that Sabrina Carpenter and Karol G were headlining Coachella in 2026, but it was not confirmed. Well, it is now: Festival organizers shared the lineup today (September 16), and indeed, Carpenter and Karol are headlining, as is Justin Bieber, while Anyma is slotted for a special performance.

Some of the most notable other artists on the bill include The xx making their big comeback after years away and Nine Inch Noize, which is presumably a collaboration between Nine Inch Nails and collaborator Boys Noize (especially since he appears on the lineup by himself, too).

Also on the poster are Disclosure, Turnstile, Ethel Cain, Dijon, Teddy Swims, The Strokes, Givēon, Addison Rae, Labrinth, Sombr, David Byrne, Interpol, Alex G, Young Thug, Kaskade, BigBang, Laufey, Major Lazer, Iggy Pop, FKA Twigs, Wet Leg, Clipse, Devo, Sexyy Red, Central Cee, Blood Orange, Moby, Lykke Li, Joyce Manor, Slayyyter, Wednesday, Swae Lee, PinkPantheress, Royel Otis, Davido, Geese, Bedouin, Blondshell, Little Simz, Armin van Buuren, Holly Humberstone, Black Flag, Röyksopp, Model/Actriz, Jane Remover, Samia, and others.

The dates for the festival were announced previously: April 10 to 12 for the first weekend and April 17 to 19 for the second. Advance tickets went on sale earlier this year, but fans can sign up (here) to register for passes going on sale starting September 19 at 11 a.m. PT.

It’s been a fairly big year for Playboi Carti’s Opium collective, as the label saw new releases from all of its principal members but one. In April, Ken Carson released More Chaos, which wound up becoming his first Billboard No.1. Last month, Homixide Gang dropped Homixide Lifestyle 2, and of course, in between, Carti put out the long-awaited Music, which also topped the albums chart the week of its release.

The last remaining member to put out a project this year will be Destroy Lonely, who just announced the release date for Broken Hearts 3. Stylized as the unpronounceable 3, the project is scheduled to drop this Friday, September 19th. Accompanying the announcement, Destroy Lonely also released the video for the project’s single, “Jumanji,” which you can watch above. The video captures a hedonistic night out for the Atlanta native, which includes stacks of cash, finger-length blunts, and of course, scantily clad women.

In addition to its core four acts all dropping albums this year, Opium is also finally embarking on its long-awaited Antagonist Tour, whose new dates were announced after the tour was postponed in 2023.

You can watch the video for Destroy Lonely’s new single “Jumanji” above.

Broken Hearts 3 is due on 9/19 via Opium/Interscope. You can find more info here.

You know who we haven’t heard from much in the past couple of years? Thundercat. The experimental musician has popped up occasionally to offer support to some of his fellow genre-benders like Channel Tres and NxWorries last year, but aside from those songs, ‘Cat’s been relatively quiet lately. Today, though, he makes a triumphant return with two new songs: “I Wish I Didn’t Waste Your Time” and “Children Of The Baked Potato” with Remi Wolf.

“Children Of The Baked Potato” is a frenetic ode to one of the fixtures of the Los Angeles jazz scene, The Baked Potato Jazz Club. Jokingly called “LA’s weirdest music venue,” the Studio City bar has been serving up both the titular dish and legendary performances for the past 50 years. It’s the oldest continuously running venue in Los Angeles County. Listen to it here:

Thundercat explained the quirky title of the song and its connection to his unique collaborator in a press release, saying, “[Remi’s] a child of the Baked Potato like me. She knew exactly what the song needed. And it was wild to watch her make it happen. The more I listen to the song, it’s clear there was no one better I could have picked.” It’s a wonky, blissed-out jazz fusion science experiment, as befits the sort of players who’ve taken the stage at the legendary venue.

Meanwhile, “I Wish I Didn’t Waste Your Time” is a more wisftul, introspective jam, putting Thundercat in a reminiscent mood. In his signature falsetto, he expresses regrets over the dissolution of a relationship. You can check it out below. Meanwhile, you can check out the dates for Thundercat’s 2025 tour here.
