Here Are The Glastonbury Festival Set Times For 2023

The set times for Glastonbury Festival 2023 have been announced, nearly a month before the five-day festival is due to return to its home at Worthy Farm, Pilton, Somerset, England on June 21-25. This year’s headliners include Arctic Monkeys, Guns N’ Roses, and a special, farewell performance from national treasure Elton John. Further highlights of the event include Lizzo, Lil Nas X, Wizkid, Lana Del Rey, Queens Of The Stone Age, Kelis, Loyle Carner, Christine And The Queens, Phoenix, Fatboy Slim, Rick Astley, and more.

With eleven stages and related events taking place in the surrounding area beginning Wednesday before the festival proper, there is plenty to do for the weekend, and Glastonbury’s website has a full list of just about every official event/set on its website now. In addition to the main festival stages, a sidebar includes links to all of the venues hosting Glastonbury artists as the utterly sprawling festival takes over Pilton.

One artist who won’t be making an appearance is Slowthai, who was dropped from the lineup following news he’d been accused of sexual assault, while the festival’s organizers addressed the festival’s dearth of female headliners shortly after announcing the lineups this year. “We’re trying our best so the pipeline needs to be developed,” said co-organizer Emily Eavis. “This starts way back with the record companies, radio. I can shout as loud as I like but we need to get everyone on board. It’s top of our agenda, and it probably makes it a bit harder because we’ve decided to make that important to us. To be honest, sometimes it’s easier to keep your head down.”

Ed Sheeran Became Ed Beer-an While Bartending In Atlanta Ahead Of His Concert In The City

Ed Sheeran has done a lot, but it seems there’s one gig he hasn’t tried until now: Bartending. However, the performer decided to check it off his bucket list during an appearance at Atlanta’s Sweetwater Brewery over the weekend.

“So I’m in Atlanta, and I’ve been told there are some breweries that are good in Atlanta, so I’m going to go to this brewery, serve some beers, play a gig and then buy everyone in the beer garden drinks. Beers on me,” Sheeran said in a video.

He helped customers get their beers for about an hour before also delivering a surprise performance of his recent single, “Eyes Closed.” Later, Sheeran would take the stage at the Mercedes-Benz stadium in the city.

Over the past few weeks, Sheeran has been giving back to fans with pop-up performances across the country while he embarks on his tour. He not only surprised some high school students in Tampa, but gifted their music department some guitars and gave the kids tickets to his sold-out stadium show. Sheeran also played for free outside in New York and Texas.

Check out the video of Ed Sheeran serving up some beers above.

Jack Harlow Was Crowned The New ‘Drake Curse’ By Boston Celtics Fans After The Team Lost Game 7 Of The Eastern Conference Finals

Anytime Drake publicly declares his love for a sports organization, fans of the club brace for the worse. This athletic superstition has been named the “Drake Curse.” But, according to Boston Celtics fans, there’s another rapper people need to be worried about.

Jack Harlow threw his support behind the team for the Eastern Conference. But, unfortunately, the Mean Green didn’t pull out the victory during game 7 of the series leading the Miami Heat to head to the NBA Finals. So now, Celtics fans are crowning Jack Harlow the new “Drake Curse” after the team blew their home-court advantage.

Seated courtside in his Celtics-branded varsity jacket, the “They Don’t Love It” rapper quickly became a target on social media. On Twitter, fans flooded the platform with anger, one writing, “Jack Harlow really is the next Drake, bro put a curse on the Celtics right now.”

Another chimed in, tweeting, “I guess Jack Harlow is gonna be the white Drake. Swoop in and curse a team.”

Pointing out the irony in the situation, one fan wrote, “Jack Harlow is giving the Celtics the Drake curse wearing that Celtics jacket..and didn’t he make a song called ‘Tyler Herro,’” after a Heat player.

Some didn’t find any humor in loss, posting, “Jack Harlow, this is your fault. Go curse another team — you lame ass.”

Matty Healy Finally (Possibly Maybe) Addressed The Taylor Swift Dating Rumors With A Cheeky On-Stage Comment

Are Taylor Swift and Matty Healy really dating? It sure looks like it, but since neither of them have come out and confirmed it, fans are left to wonder. Now, though, Heally appears to have addressed the situation, albeit vaguely and indirectly to the point where it’s not 100-percent certain what exactly he was talking about.

This weekend, The 1975 performed at BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend festival in Dundee, Scotland. To introduce the band’s set, Healy addressed the crowd by saying, “Is it all a bit? Is it sincere? Will he ever address it? All of these questions and more will be ignored in the next hour. Ladies and gentlemen, this is The 1975.”

Whether or not Swift and Healy are dating, what can be confirmed is that the two have at least been spending some time together recently. Healy popped up at some The Eras Tour shows (and even performed with Phoebe Bridgers while there). Healy and Swift went out on what appeared to be a double date with Jack Antonoff and Margaret Qualley. They were also spotted in the studio together, along with an all-star lineup featuring Kendrick Lamar, Florence Welch, Jack Antonoff, Channing Tatum, Zoe Kravitz, and others.

Benedict Cumberbatch Was Targeted By A Knife-Wielding Intruder In A Terrifying Home Invasion

A former chef reportedly targeted Doctor Strange star Benedict Cumberbatch and his family during a terrifying incident at the actor’s home in London. The attempted assault went down in early May when 35-year-old Jack Bissell “kicked through the front garden’s iron gate” outside Cumberbatch’s home and began yelling threats at the Marvel star.

“I know you’ve moved here, I hope it burns down,” Bissell allegedly yelled. The former chef also used a fish knife to rip an outdoor intercom off the wall and spit on it. He eventually fled the scene, but was later identified by DNA evidence on the intercom.

Via BBC News:

A source close to Cumberbatch told the Daily Mail: “Naturally all of the family were absolutely terrified and thought this guy was going to get in and hurt them. Luckily it never went that far. Benedict and Sophie have had many sleepless nights since worrying that they may be targeted again.”

The prosecution told the court that prior to his attack, Bissell bought two packs of pitta bread from a nearby shop and told the shopkeeper he was going to break in and burn down the house.

Despite appearing in court, Bissell has not explained why he targeted Cumberbatch in the target or mounted a defense of his actions. There is no known connection between the former chef and the Sherlock star.

‘Absolute Legend’ Keanu Reeves Helped Kate Beckinsale Prevent A Wardrobe Malfunction On The Red Carpet

In the latest installment of Keanu Reeves: Total Mensch, Kate Beckinsale revealed how the actor helped her hide a wardrobe malfunction on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival.

The year was 1993, and Beckinsale was there for her film debut in Kenneth Branagh’s Much Ado About Nothing. “I had bought the bodysuit in the Sock Shop at the airport and when I got in the car to drive to the premiere with Denzel and Pauletta Washington, all the poppers in the crotch popped themselves open and it flipped up like a roller blind,” she wrote on Instagram.

Beckinsale “didn’t feel it was appropriate to go delving around in my undercarriage with all of us in the back of the car so I just quietly panicked,” she continued. “Walked out onto the biggest red carpet of my life and whispered to Keanu and Robert Sean Leonard what had happened. In this picture I am holding the front gusset down and the two of them are holding the back gusset.”

Ah yes, a “gusset.” I definitely knew what that is before looking it up on Google five seconds ago, absolutely.

The Underworld actress called Reeves and Sean Leonard “absolute legends who may not even have fully understood the physics of what was happening,” but “both jumped in to save me no questions asked.” That grandmother who leaves Keanu must be so proud of him.

Lana Del Rey Went Full ‘Norman Vaping Rockwell’ When She Lost Her Vape At Her First Concert In Three Years

Lana Del Rey took the stage at Brazil’s MITA Festival over the weekend, which culminated in a truly hilarious moment after the pop star lost one of her prized possessions. It marked the singer’s first live show in about three years — so viral moments were bound to happen.

During Del Rey’s performance of “Norman F*cking Rockwell,” she started telling the crew that her vape was missing and attempted to look for it on the stage.

“And also if you see my vape on stage, can you find my vape on stage?” she said.

In the video, Del Rey then hears from someone at the front of the crowd who might have found it.

“You did? Where, though? Oh, all the way in the pit?” she asked, walking closer to the start of the stage. Eventually, she gives up, chalking it up to a simple “f*ck it” and walks back to her mark to continue the set.

According to Page Six, a similar loss for Del Rey had happened during a 2019 show, where she lost it in Portland and uttered a similar “I give up” phrase. Except, she then performed “Video Games.”

Check out the video of Lana Del Rey looking for her vape again above.

‘Succession’s J. Smith-Cameron Fueled The Fire Of A Fan Theory About Roman’s Final Onscreen Moments

The Succession series finale ended with, according to Brian Grubb’s definitive Report Card, failing grades (or close) for most of the characters. The audience won, however, with the “Meal Fit For A King,” which Jeremy Strong apparently drank because he’s so method, but overall, the end was bleak for the Roy siblings. Tom became CEO, Shiv essentially became her mother, and Kendall was left ominously staring at the water, as he does.

Roman, however? His outcome felt the most ambiguous, and as Brian Grubb read it, “He, more than his other siblings, seems free now, with all of that business behind him.” Also, he really enjoyed sipping that martini, so what was he possibly thinking in that moment? Plenty of people couldn’t get past the fact that Roman was drinking Gerri’s drink of choice and smiling, presumably while thinking of her. This is an awfully bizarre (and probably fitting for him) thing to do after doing some pretty terrible things to her, including firing Gerri after the whole d*ck pics fiasco. That had turned into a real nightmare for Gerri along the way, but she’s supposedly getting paid, so good for her.

As for J. Smith-Cameron, she decided to tweet what a lot of people were thinking about the Martini Moment: “My ex wants me back”

Was that a cosign? Officially, no: “( is how some people interpreted this)”

Still, plenty of people either wanted to believe or full-on did believe, because of that particular smile on Roman’s face.

I think they’re spot-on about what Roman was pondering, but damn, I hope Gerri never looks back at him.

One thing seems pretty certain though: J. Smith-Cameron has hopped into the “succession fandom” realm, too.

Succession is available to stream in full on Max.

Foo Fighters Say A Sorrowful Goodbye On ‘The Teacher,’ An Emotional, Ten-Minute Rock Epic

The past year-plus has been tough for Foo Fighters and Dave Grohl. Of course, drummer Taylor Hawkins passed away in early 2022. Furthermore, while no official announcement has been made and no obituary has surfaced, some fans say Dave’s daughter Violet shared the news about the death of Virginia Hanlon Grohl, Dave’s mother, on Instagram Live. The band’s upcoming album, But Here We Are, is dedicated to both Hawkins and Virginia.

But Here We Are is set to drop in a few days and ahead of then, the band has shared a new single, “The Teacher.” It’s a ten-minute, multi-section rock epic that goes through a number of tempos and moods. The lyrics are pained: In the latter half of the song, Grohl repeats, “Try and make good with the air that’s left / Counting every minute / Living breath by breath / By breath, by breath, by breath / By breath, by breath.” The track concludes with Grohl repeating, “Goodbye.”

Meanwhile, new Foo Fighters touring drummer Josh Freese recently shared his thoughts about joining the band. The band also gave him a musical introduction via covers of bands he’s performed with.

Watch the video for “The Teacher” above.

But Here We Are is out 6/2 via Roswell Records/RCA Records. Find more information here.

The Hottest Accessory From The ‘Succession’ Series Finale Is… Roman’s Walmart Shirt?

If you wanted to dress up like your favorite Succession character this Halloween, maybe try Barbie and Ken instead? The outfits on the HBO series are, as you might expect, absurdly expensive. Kendall’s gray coat that he wears while having his “hello darkness, my old friend” moment in the series finale? $8,895. Shiv’s blazer and pants combo? That’ll set you back $1,795 and $995, respectively. Even Lukas’ restrained sweatshirt is $300.

There is one outfit from the finale even non-billionaires can afford, however.

The blue striped tee that a “fragile” Roman wears while seeking refuge at his mom’s house is only $13.96 at Walmart, assuming you can find one. “The T-shirt worn by Roman retails at $13.96 and is now sold out in most sizes on the Walmart website,” according to the Independent. “However, the retail giant still carries a pale pink version with stripes in a different color.” If you want to look for the shirt in person, check the kid’s section.

“Roman is the most casual uniformed guy on the planet,” Succession costume designer told Motion Pictures about Roman’s outfits. “He is just moving through the room. He has no agenda at all with anyone; he’s simply his own beast. We have a closet for Roman, and Kieran [Culkin] will rummage through it for hours. He’s very personal in selecting, and that takes a lot of time.”

It’s a shame Succession is over. I’d love to see Roman in this Stitch shirt.
