Stevie Nicks adds California stop in Sacramento for solo 2025 tour
Legendary rock star Stevie Nicks is adding several dates to her 2025 solo tour schedule, and the only California date at the moment will be in Sacramento.
The singer announced eight new dates for her Live In Concert tour on Monday.
Nicks was set to embark on a string of dates with Billy Joel, but that tour was canceled after Joel announced he had been diagnosed with normal pressure hydrocephalus.
Nicks and Joel were scheduled to perform at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara on Oct. 4. Now, that Oct. 4 date has been filled with a Nicks solo tour stop at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento.
Nicks last visited Sacramento in 2023 for another solo gig, also at the Golden 1 Center.
Tickets for Sacramento and other new Nicks tour dates will go on presale June 18, with general on sale starting June 20.

‘Fortnite' Is Getting A New, Fast-Paced Battle Royale Mode This Week
A new Battle Royale mode is dropping into Fortnite very soon. Every six months or so, I get sucked back into Fortnite for a while. Usually, it's a cool new mechanic or cosmetic that ropes me back in. This time around, it was the big Death Star event that ended the last season. Anyway, I can see myself hanging around a bit longer than usual this time to check out a brand-new Battle Royale mode that's coming to Fortnite very soon. It's called Fortnite Blitz Royale. We don't know too many details about it yet other than what Epic Games has shared in a couple of tweets. It's said to be a faster-paced version of Battle Royale that's available on all platforms with support for cross-play. However, it has a "a rogue-like design specifically crafted for mobile play," according to Epic. That's pretty interesting, even though Fortnite's Battle Royale variants are already effectively roguelike modes. Other than your cosmetics, you start each game afresh and have to loot weapons and items. I'm curious whether there'll be ongoing gameplay progression in this mode (which would make it more of a roguelite, to be more precise). One other intriguing thing here is that Epic suggests that it will only take five minutes to play a game of Fortnite Blitz Royale, rather than the 20-25 minutes for a regular BR match.

According to Fortnite leaker iFireMonkey, Blitz Royale matches will have 32 players instead of up to 100. It's likely that matches will take place in a smaller area too. We won't have to wait long to find out exactly what Fortnite Blitz Royale is all about. It's set to go live on June 18, as part of an update that will include a bunch of new features for Fortnite Ballistic, a fresh game mode for Lego Fortnite and the latest Fornite Festival season. I'm definitely curious to play Fortnite Blitz Royale. I've also been meaning to play some Fortnite with mouse controls on my Switch 2, so I'll try that soon and report back. 🫡 Follow my blog for coverage of video games (such as Fortnite) and word games.

Mario Kart World: How To Unlock Mirror Mode Tracks
Have you already mastered Mario Kart World's new brand of racing? Have you practiced every wallride and time skip in the game? Maybe it's time to try something new and take on the Mirror Mode challenge. Mirror Mode was introduced in Mario Kart 64 and has shown up in every entry in the series since the GameCube-era Double Dash. This mode flips every race track across the y-axis so that left turns become right turns and vice versa. For gamers who have already mastered the perfect way to drift around every corner, this reimagining of every course interrupts muscle memory and makes old races feel new again. In Mario Kart World, players are able to unlock a version of Mirror Mode that lets them flip each cup around for a different racing experience. You'll also get a chance to mirror the Free Roam area, drastically changing one of the biggest new Mario Kart features. These Mirror Modes unlock in two different ways. Here's how to unlock Mirror Mode races and Free Roam in Mario Kart World. Keep an eye out for Free Roam collectibles. Knocking out P-Switch challenges is important if you want to unlock Mirror Mode. Nintendo/Screenshot by CNET How to unlock Mirror Mode races in Mario Kart World There's a small laundry list of requirements that you'll have to knock out if you want to unlock Mirror Mode races in this game. You'll have to master the existing in-game cups as well as extensively engage with Mario Kart World's new Free Roam feature. Here's everything you need to complete in order to unlock Mirror Mode races in Mario Kart World. Complete all Grand Prix Cups and Knockout Tour Rallies in 150cc You'll have to beat every race in the game at the current fastest speed in order to unlock the Mirror Mode for their tracks. Interestingly, you don't actually need to place first in these cups to fulfill the requirement -- just make sure you've completed these races in the 150cc mode, as the slower races don't count toward unlocking Mirror Mode. Collect 10 Peach Medallions and ? Panels Peach Medallions and ? Panels can be found in the nooks and crannies of Mario Kart World's Free Roam mode. Peach Medallions are often hidden in corners or off the beaten path, whereas ? Panels are more likely to be found in open areas or on wallriding sections of racetracks. You'll need to find at least 10 of each of these collectibles in order to unlock Mirror Mode. Finish 10 P-Switch challenges In addition to picking up collectibles throughout the world, you'll have to find and complete 10 P-Switch challenges. These big blue buttons unlock special timed courses to complete in the open world. You need to fully complete 10 of these challenges to fulfill the Mirror Mode requirement. Complete the Special Cup on 150cc (again) This is the last step to unlock Mirror Mode in Mario Kart World, and you can't complete it before wrapping up the other requirements. If you've already beaten the Special Cup on 150cc before beating the other races and picking up all of those collectibles, you'll have to complete this set of races again. The good news is that you don't need to get first place to unlock the special mode. Just like with the Grand Prix Cups and Knockout Rally Tours, completion is what matters here. Once you finish the Special Cup on 150cc, you'll get a notification alongside a small icon of the Peach Stadium's stained glass window that informs you that you've unlocked Mirror Mode. You'll be able to choose Mirror Mode from the race selection screen -- and this notification gives you a hint about how to enter the new mode in Free Roam. You'll have to pop on top of Peach's castle and enter the stained glass window (top left) in order to enter Mirror Mode in Free Roam. Nintendo/Mixeli/Screenshot by CNET How to enter Mirror Mode in Free Roam in Mario Kart World Free Roam's Mirror Mode won't take nearly as much effort to activate. Instead of filling out a list of requirements, you only need to find a single secret in Mario Kart World's open world to activate this version of Mirror Mode. To flip Free Roam around the y-axis, you'll have to unlock the Mirror Mode for regular cup races first. After you've done that, visit the Peach Stadium track while exploring the world. There's a secret stained glass portrait of Princess Peach that you need to locate on this course. You can find this stained glass portrait on the roof of Peach's castle. Locate one of the parts of the racetrack where you can drive off and land on the roof and then climb toward the middle of the castle. The portrait is front and center on the castle roof -- you can't miss it. Drive through the stained glass to enable Mirror Mode in Free Roam. Disabling Mirror Mode is as simple as driving through the Peach portrait once again. What are the rewards for beating Mirror Mode? Once you unlock Mirror Mode, it's only natural that you blitz through the newly flipped race tracks in each Grand Prix Cup. Just know that there aren't any new racers, karts or tracks to unlock by beating the cups with Mirror Mode on. The only reward you'll earn is a renewed sense of pride and accomplishment for tackling this challenge.

This Is Why Top Creators Are Suddenly Switching To Snapchat
Social media in 2025 often feels like a high-stakes performance. Filters, edits and algorithmic gimmicks dominate most platforms. But Snapchat is flipping the script by championing unfiltered storytelling and creator-first design. Its approach is proving that authenticity can drive engagement and deliver meaningful monetization. Snapchat's Philosophy "Now more than ever, creators are being rewarded on Snap for being themselves and sharing their lives in this unfiltered, unedited way," says Varshini Satish, Talent Partnerships Lead at Snapchat. "There is this real sense that you might know a creator on a different platform in one light, but you're going to get to know them in a completely different way on Snap." That ethos is deeply resonating with creators like Cheyenne Davis, a mom of three and former reality TV star. "Snapchat has truly been a game changer for me as a creator," she shares. 'It has given me the tools to grow my following and turn my content into a real business.' Snapchat's Differentiator Snapchat's unique value proposition for creators stems from a combination of personalized support, evolving tools and a monetization model that values connection over clout. Satish explains, "We want Snap to be an 'and' not an 'or'. We never want your time on Snap to cannibalize from your time on other platforms." Unlike the high production standards often required on TikTok or Instagram, Snap rewards raw, everyday storytelling. "There are creators... who say this is a platform where they can come on safely and without judgment," Satish adds. Economic Empowerment Through Performance-Based Monetization It is not just about emotional safety, but economic opportunity. Snapchat paid out over half a billion dollars to creators and media partners in 2024. Novian "Nova" Cherry, a creator who found fame on Snapchat's Spotlight feature, explained her support "Snapchat gave me a real opportunity when other platforms made it feel impossible to grow without already being big. I love how real and unfiltered it is and how real the connection feels with my audience. I started on Spotlight with zero followers, just posting for fun and now I've got 804,000 and counting. My content gets seen, shared, and appreciated, and the algorithm actually gives new creators a chance to shine." The Unified Monetization Program simplifies earning from both Stories and Spotlight. With lower entry barriers, creators can now qualify more easily and start monetizing faster. Insights, Tools, and Features That Empower Insights tools now offer metrics like Returning Viewers, Total View Time and Spotlight Average View Rate. "We are always thinking about how to deepen engagement for creators and help them understand their audiences better," says Satish. New features like dual camera recording, auto-saving Stories to profiles and an intuitive timeline editor enhance creators' storytelling capabilities. "I want to see so much more dual camera content," Satish tells me enthusiastically. Snapchat's Growth Over 250 million people post content for public consumption on Snapchat monthly. In Q1 2025, Snap Star Spotlight posts grew by over 125 percent year-over-year in North America. Total time spent watching content is also up, with nearly 9 billion favorites per month, underscoring deep fan engagement. Building Creator Relationships Snapchat is not trying to be everything to everyone. Instead, it is doubling down on what makes it unique. "We snap them. We text them. We meet just to catch up about life," Satish emphasizes. For creators burnt out on algorithm changes and pressure to constantly go viral, Snap offers a quieter, more sustainable model for success. As Davis sums it up: 'Getting rewarded through Snapchat's monetization program... has opened doors I never could have imagined.' Key Takeaways for Creators Considering Snapchat This article is based on an interview from my podcast, The Business of Creators.
