Saturday Night Live has been on a break since its milestone 50th season wrapped up in May. Now, it’s about time for the show to come back, and now we know it’s set to return in October: The first slate of hosts and musical guests for the 51st season was announced today (September 18).
On October 4, Bad Bunny is hosting and Doja Cat will join as the musical guest. On October 11, SNL alum Amy Poehler will return to host an episode featuring musical guest Role Model. Finally, on October 11, Sabrina Carpenter will pull double duty as both host and musical guest.
Bad Bunny has become an SNL mainstay this decade. He’s hosted twice and been a musical guest three times, including the 2023 episode when he did both. Doja, meanwhile, will be making her Saturday Night Live debut on the episode.
Poehler is of course familiar with the SNL stage. Aside from being a beloved cast member for nearly a decade, she has returned to host the show a handful of times. Role Model will be making his first appearance on the show.
We’re in the endgame, now. The release of Cardi B’s album Am I The Drama? is just a few hours away, and she continues to share more information about it. Earlier this week, she shared the features, announced her tour for the album, and dropped the tracklist; most recently, she gave fans a teaser of the music video for “Safe” featuring Kehlani, and announced it would accompany the album’s release at midnight ET.
From the short clip she shared on her social channels, the song will be a piano-driven, emotive ballad in the same vein as her prior collab with Kehlani, “Ring,” from her debut album, Invasion Of Privacy. It also appears the video’s male lead is social media star Don Benjamin, who makes one heck of a f*ckboy face before the smash cut to the title card. Expect a drama-filled (heh) narrative inspired by Cardi’s worst experiences with men.

Samia is just a few months removed from releasing her latest album, Bloodless, in April. Samia is in the middle of a tour at the moment and now she’ll have a new song to perform live: Today (September 18), she shared the single “Cinder Block.”
The song was recorded a few months after the Bloodless sessions wrapped and it sees her interpolating Leonard Cohen’s “Suzzane” and “Hallelujah.”
“This one’s sort of an extension of Bloodless — took most of it from poems and wanted it to feel like treading water. Was listening to a lot of Leonard Cohen and the Theory of Forms reference in Suzanne felt pertinent — then it just became a recurring bit in the song to quote him. Jack Sparrow’s compass only points to what the person holding it wants the most.”

From the Coachella desert to the Manhattan skyline, UPROXX has been creating can’t-miss nights of music, culture, and signature Sparkling Ice cocktails with our Sparkling Sessions 2.0 tour. We’ve tapped chart-toppers like Jessie Murph to host chill day parties at the iconic Von Dutch Ranch and have been serenaded by the smooth soul of R&B icon Lucky Daye on a New York City rooftop. Now, as festival season is winding down, we’re keeping the same unforgettable energy we’ve been curating all summer long in the live music capital of the world, Austin!
Our Texas touchdown is about to be Anything But Subtle as we roll into Austin Garden with headliner Adrian Nunez, who’s been redefining country music with his breakout track, “Low Country Road.” The genre-blurring powerhouse will be joined by some special guest performers and DJs who will keep the vibes high as fans sip on custom Sparkling Ice-infused cocktails and snack on Mexican street food. This isn’t just a concert — it’s a full-on experience with exclusive merch drops and interactive experiences, turning the moment into the kind of memory that sticks with you long past last call.
Spots are limited, so RSVP now before it’s too late.
Today marks the 10th anniversary of the release of Mac Miller‘s third studio album, GO:OD AM, and the late rapper’s estate is celebrating with a new short film, GO:OD AM (Time Flies, Try To Catch It). Directed by Mac’s frequent collaborator Sam Balaban, the film captures the creation of the pivotal album through archival footage and interviews with collaborators like Mac’s manager Christian Clancy, engineer Josh Berg, hype man Quentin Cuff, and visual artist Ian Wolfson (aka Rex Arrow).
GO:OD AM was Mac’s first release under Warner Music, debuting at No. 4 on the US Billboard 200. Supported by two singles, “100 Grandkids” and “Weekend,” the album featured guest appearances from a diverse array of artists including Ab-Soul, Chief Keef, Lil B, Little Dragon, and Miguel. It’s largely credited with the beginning of a musical evolution that took Mac Miller from his slacker rap beginnings to the soulful funk scientist he eventually became before his death in 2019.
Even after his passing, Mac’s archives have been a never-ending fountain of new content; his posthumous 2024 album Balloonerism spawned an animated film, while the MacLib collaboration album between Mac and LA producer Madlib is said to still be in the works.
You can watch GO:OD AM (Time Flies, Try To Catch It) above.
Labrinth hasn’t performed live since 2024 (per setlist.fm), but he’s set to return as part of the Coachella 2026 lineup that was announced earlier this week. He’ll have some new songs for the occasion, too, as today (September 18), he announced Prelude, a new EP.
A couple days ago, Labrinth also teased a new song called “Pull Me In” by sharing a 15-second snippet on social media.
The tracklist has not yet been revealed, but a press release notes the project will have eight tracks. It also describes Labrinth as being “at the precipice of a new sonic rising” and the EP as “equal parts foreboding, inquisitive, candid, enticing, celebratory, and reflective.”
Labrinth previously described his mindset when creating a new project, saying, “I just ask myself, ‘Are you telling the truth?’ I think writer’s block to me comes from narrow thinking. When you feel obligated to write a certain type of record, writer’s block can come easily. But when you leave the road as open as possible, you’re going to go, ‘I’m tired today, let me write a song that fits the way I’m feeling right now.’ And you find yourself back on this excited loop of having another idea, and it just spirals.”
Prelude is out 9/19 via Columbia Records. Find more information here.
After announcing a new tour and a new pregnancy, Cardi B has, at long last, released the tracklist for her upcoming sophomore album, Am I The Drama? Perhaps reflecting the extended wait fans had to endure for the follow-up to her Grammy-winning 2018 debut, the tracklist includes 21 new songs in addition to her previously released single “Up” and the megahit “WAP” featuring Megan Thee Stallion.
Cardi B told fans that her megahits of years past would appear on the new album, but would not affect streaming counts. The album’s features were revealed earlier this week, and include Cash Cobain, Janet Jackson, Kehlani, Lizzo, Lourdiz, Megan Thee Stallion, Selena Gomez, Summer Walker, and Tyla.

Jay-Z’s dream of owning a casino in Times Square has been dashed. According to Billboard, the Roc Nation proposal for the New York casino was rejected by a Community Advisory Committee, which voted 4-2 against the casino despite a $15 million community investment offer. The casino would have taken over 1515 Broadway, and included hotels, shops, and restaurants, with a pledge from the casino’s ownership group to share 0.5 percent of the casino’s profits totaling up to $250 million in community investment.
The proposal could only have moved forward with the committee’s approval; the rejection will leave Roc Nation and its partners, SL Green and Caesars, looking for other options to secure one of New York’s three open licenses for a gaming establishment in the city. Times Square was considered the optimal location as it’s the city’s main tourism hub, but that doesn’t mean they couldn’t propose a different location — or increase their community investment commitment — and try again.
However, it doesn’t sound like the decision was received in the best spirits. SL Green CEO Marc Holliday called the vote result “a despicable display of cowardice, lack of leadership, lack of consideration for all the people who would benefit from this proposal” in a video posted online. Meanwhile, it seems the Advisory Community has sided with The Broadway League President Jason Laks, who opined in Deadline that it was more important to preserve the character of the neighborhood. The proposed building currently houses the Minskoff Theatre, currently hosting The Lion King.
“This was a vote to protect the magic of Broadway for the one hundred thousand New Yorkers who depend on it for their livelihoods, and for the tens of millions who come from around the world to experience it,” he said. “A casino can go anywhere, but Broadway only lives here.”
