'Chaos' is officially all the rage.
Ken Carson — whose most recent album 'More Chaos' hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart — just announced his 2025 'The Lord of Chaos Tour' that will send him to arenas, amphitheaters, music halls, event centers and coliseums all over North America from July through September.
That includes an early stop in the 29-concert run at Brooklyn's Barclays Center on Wednesday, Aug. 6.
This jump to bigger venues happened almost overnight for the 25-year-old rapper. Just last year, when Carson performed in New York City, he headlined three nights at Terminal 5, which has a capacity of 3,000. When he plays Barclays this August, Carson will perform his unique brand of 'chaos' made up of 'rap, punk and electronic' for up to 19,000 fans at the Nets' home arena in just one night.
And, while the quick jump may seem illogical, it makes perfect sense upon closer inspection due to Carson's 'high-octane performances [that] are a spectacle of rawness and intensity, drawing large, energetic crowds with his dynamic stage presence and unforgettable sets.'
Fans can purchase tickets for all upcoming Ken Carson shows on sites like Vivid Seats; the official on-sale for 'The Lord of Chaos Tour' is Friday, May 2.
Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.

Earlier this year, the young rapper headlined at Inglewood, CA's Rolling Loud Festival. Although it's likely not representative of what exactly a Carson show will look like come late July, here's a peek at what he took to the stage that evening, courtesy of Set List FM.
01.) 'ss'02.) 'Freestyle 3'03.) 'It's Over'
04.) 'Lose It'05.) 'Me N My Kup'06.) 'leather jacket'07.) 'mewtwo'08.) 'i need u'09.) 'Succubus'10.) 'toxic'11.) 'Rockstar Lifestyle'12.) 'Rock N Roll'13.) 'Yale'14.) 'Freestyle 2'15.) 'overseas'
16.) 'Fighting My Demons'
On April 11, Carson dropped his fourth studio album 'More Chaos.'
The jam-packed record is made up of 22 tracks that straddle and blur the line of rap, punk and electronic music. In short, yes, the video-game sampling album more than lives up to its 'chaotic' title.
Should you listen, we recommend sticking around to the tail end here, too. The final song 'Off The Meter' featuring Playboi Carti and Destroy Lonely is a triumphant piece of 'chaos' that will please even the most fair-weather Carson fans.
To hear for yourself, you can listen to 'More Chaos' here.
If you're into flawless flows — bars, if you will — you'e in the right place.

Joe List interview: Comedian on tour, special, where to buy tickets
Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. Around 35 minutes into his new special, Joe List pitches a brilliant loophole for how you can get a complex drink made just how you like at Starbucks. The wily comedian's suggestion is simple: glance at your phone, act frazzled and tell the barista the beverage you're ordering is for your boss. 'I don't have a boss but this way they can be annoyed by the person I made up,' he quips. Advertisement This clever idea doesn't get the biggest laughs of List's hour, which he's dubbed 'Small Ball.' In fact, far from it. However, the bit is a perfect encapsulation of the Boston native's singular brand of neurotic comedy. He obsesses over minute details and finds the funny in oft-overlooked situations like the origin of Mountain Dew, Ben Affleck tipping a waitress at a poker table and proper stroller etiquette. And, while putting out a punchline-heavy special and touring the country might be more than enough for most comics, List double dipped this past year and just completed his feature film directorial debut 'Tom Dustin: Portrait of a Comedian.' The self-reflexive documentary follows his funny yet flawed comic friend, the titular Tom Dustin, who settled in Key West, FL, but can't help but wonder what would have happened had he taken a chance on New York. Rather than acting as a fly on the wall, List inserts himself in the narrative and avoids cliché by painting a nuanced warts-and-all picture of an entertainer and friend deserving of more recognition. That's not to mention, it's also very funny. Advertisement So, like List, we wanted go deeper. Our team took a magnifying glass to the oft-overlooked parts of the accomplished comic's oeuvre — his 'Last Comic Standing' past, marriage to fellow comedian Sarah Tollemache, parenting a one-year-old, narrative film works — and found out more about the man. Here's our conversation with comedian, writer, director, actor, podcaster and sometimes difficult Starbucks customer Joe List. Joe, we loved 'Small Ball.' What makes the new hour so special to you? Every time I finish a special, I can't believe that I did it again. You know, you're doing an hour on stage and you're like 'how am I going to write material again? I'm not going to have this much stuff.' Advertisement And then you kind of do it. So it feels like a miracle every time. I feel like this one is better than the last one based on audience reactions. Plus, it 's the first one I've done that wasn't filmed in New York at The Village Underground and it's the first time I've cut together two different nights in two different venues. So it's a lot of firsts for me. I think it's very good. I could be wrong. Is there a meaning behind the title 'Small Ball'? I was opening for Louis C.K. nine years ago and we did the L.A. Forum, which is a huge 16,000-seat venue. I didn't really know him at the time. Then, we all got on a private jet and he was like 'what a night, that was the best show.' F—ing Joe List playing small ball at the L.A. Forum.' I'm a big baseball guy, and I just liked the metaphor of drawing a walk and bunting a guy over because you see so many specials that have a crane shot and it's in a stadium or an arena or the guy comes up to the stage and there's sort of a big act out, which is fine for whoever's doing it. Advertisement But for me, I'm in a club talking about my d—, and ['Small Ball'] just felt like apt name. It's just here 'I am standing here. I'm not going to move around a lot, but I'm going to get the job done. It's not going to be too flashy.' You have a lot of material out in the ether. Four hourlong YouTube specials and half hours on Netflix and Comedy Central. Where would you tell fans to start that haven't consumed all of your work? You don't have to see the other specials to get them but 'I Hate Myself' just hit 10 million views. That was the first hour I did on YouTube and people really responded. Well, maybe that's the first one. I would tell people to go there and just watch them in order, if you can, for fun. But all of them I think are are strong and good. Obviously, I think they're good, I put them out. How would you describe your comedic voice at this point in your career? I don't know. I never think of comedy in that way or those terms. Whatever I think is funny in that moment is what I do. But I've had many bits through the years about how people think I'm a smart guy or educated but I'm not. I barely graduated high school and I'm not a nerd. People really think of me as this nerdy guy. The number one comment I get after shows is that audience members didn't think I was tall. I'm very tall, 6'2 and 180 pounds like an athlete, but I've had crooked teeth and glasses most of my life and a bad jawline. People think that I'm into sci-fi and I've never read a 'Harry Potter.' I'm horrible at math, I've never seen Lord of the Rings, I don't play chess, and I got laid a good amount. I have no formal education whatsoever. I went to zero college. The other thing is I like foreign films, but I also am obsessed with hockey. So, you know, I'm a complex guy. Advertisement Will you be doing new material on your upcoming tour? I'm in this weird area where I have about 45 minutes of new material and 40 of it is pretty good but still getting there. There's a lot of stuff that ends with me being like, 'alright, that's how that ends now.' And it's filthy. I just did an hour at the Wilbur Theater and afterwards, my mother was like 'you're vulgar now.' There's a lot of sex and marriage stuff. A lot of going to the doctor stuff. The other day I was in the bathroom stall and the guy next to me yelled 'f— you' to his bowel movement. So I'm doing a bit about that. I'm not maturing at all. Why did you want to make a doc about your friend? Advertisement Tom (Dustin) is always so compelling and funny, and I just thought it would work well. I wanted people to see him and know who he was because I have there are so many great comedians that don't live in New York or L.A. or just haven't really made much of an attempt to be known but they're great. It always bothers me that comedy fans are like, 'well, if he was any good, I would have heard of this guy' and I'm like 'well, you've never heard of 98% of the comedians' and there's a lot of great ones out there. And I thought our friendship would be compelling, too. Plus, he kills iguanas. He runs a club. The movie became much more than I anticipated. I really thought it was going to be Tom drinking, smoking and telling stories. Then it ended up being more about mental health than our relationship and the meaning of success. Advertisement Will you be making more documentaries like this? Patrick Holbert, who produced, edited and shot the movie with me, was saying this could be a series but a part of me feels like Tom would be hurt if we did another one. I am trying to make a documentary now about SkankFest and Luis J. Gomez would be a big part of that. We'd make it abot his life and the festival. You've also made a lot of great absurd and observational shorts. Do you have more narrative stuff in the works as well? Advertisement Raanan Hirschberg and I just had a meeting over Zoom. We're trying to write a sex comedy and I'm acting in some shorts. I'm always trying to make something. It becomes a little more difficult with a baby and a podcast. Podcasts always get in the way. It's nonsense. You and your wife Sarah roasted each other on Comedy Central. Was that a cathartic experience or did it open old wounds? To pull back the curtain on that roast, we wrote together. We worked on all the jokes together and with the aforementioned Tom Dustin. He wrote about 70% of the jokes. He's got a good mean streak and is obviously a brilliant writer. So we wanted to go over all the jokes because you never want to be surprised in a roast. You don't want to find out something about yourself at a roast. We went over what we were cool with and both of us were pretty good about letting the other 'have at it' since there's not a lot there for us to pick at. It's not like my wife cheated on me or vice versa. It's more 'he's got crooked teeth, she was a stripper.' So it was fun and there were no hard feelings whatsoever. People were like 'you must not have gotten laid for a year, you guys must have almost broken up' but it's like 'no, no, no.' We each knew what the other was going to say. Do you have any parenting advice for comedians that are planning on having children? Make sure you have a good, supportive wife. Just know that it'll be okay and you'll sleep at some other point. For me, I think comedy helps me because I was such a drunk lunatic for all of my twenties. My wife and I always laugh because everything feels easier now because we don't drink. All the baby challenges are much less difficult than getting on a cross-country flight, two hours after you finish drinking. That's what I would say. Get get sober, get a good life partner. Any great 'Last Comic Standing' stories? I did it in 2010 when Craig Robinson was hosting and Greg Giraldo, Natasha Leggero and Andy Kindler were on the show. I got edited out that year. Anyway, there was a long dead spot when we were waiting to roll camera and Craig Robinson reminded us 'everybody remember to see my movie 'Hot Tub Time Machine' and Greg Giraldo said 'what's it about?' That was great. Then, the second time I auditioned, I made it on. Norm MacDonald was the judge and was just so nice to me all the way through. He tweeted out, 'there's five great comedians and one of them is Joe List' or something like that. I have it somewhere. This interview has been lightly edited and condensed for clarity. Want to see List live? He'll be at New Jersey's Stress Factory Comedy Club from Nov. 6-8. Joe List tour schedule 2025 A complete calendar of all the venues you can see List at — including dates and links to buy tickets — on his upcoming tour can be found below. Comedians on tour in 2025 Typically at the end of stories we like to recommend artists similar to the subjects covered above. However, this time, we let Joe List take the reins. Here are his favorite working comics that he thinks you ought to see live. I love Maddie Weiner. She blows me away. I think she's going to be huge. She's like my favorite right now. Just works her a– off and is so young. Daniel Simonsen is another one. He's Norwegian and has such beautifully honest, dark stuff. Sam Morril, of course. My opener Luke Mones. It's always weird when people who started after you become your favorite comedians. And Colin Quinn, I always love to see. Who else is on the road?

Shop the two CurrentBody skincare devices featured in Netflix's ‘Sirens'
New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. If you've been glued to the screen watching 'Sirens' — the No.1 show on Netflix this week — then you've likely been mesmerized by the style and grace of Kiki, portrayed flawlessly by Julianne Moore. Her character is elegance personified: always poised, always polished, and always ahead of the curve when it comes to beauty and tech. So, it came as no surprise that before her big photo shoot, she turned to not one, but two cutting-edge skincare tools from CurrentBody. CurrentBody is a UK-based beauty technology company that has revolutionized at-home skincare by introducing professional-grade devices for personal use. It was founded in 2009 by Laurence Newman, a seasoned expert in aesthetic devices, and Andrew Showman, a digital commerce specialist, and the brand quickly emerged from Newman's extensive experience in supplying professional tools to clinics and spas. Recognizing the potential to adapt these technologies for home use, CurrentBody was established to offer consumers access to advanced beauty treatments in the comfort of their homes. Advertisement The company's flagship product, the CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Mask, has garnered significant attention for its effectiveness in stimulating collagen production and enhancing skin texture. This mask, along with other devices like the Radio Frequency Skin Tightening Device, has contributed to CurrentBody's reputation as a leader in the beauty tech industry. CurrentBody In the boudoir scene that's already gone viral, both Kiki and her immaculate assistant Simone are seen prepping with the CurrentBody Lip Perfector. This device is a beauty essential that uses advanced LED light therapy to enhance hydration, improve texture, and naturally plump the lips. CurrentBody It's the kind of innovation that makes makeup optional and confidence effortless. Simone might be younger, but Kiki, ever the multitasking icon, knows how to maximize her glow and time. With the Lip Perfector in hand, she turns her prep time into an indulgent self-care ritual that's as stylish as it is smart. CurrentBody No true icon overlooks the details, and Kiki proves it by pairing her lip treatment with the CurrentBody Neck and Dec Series 2. This high-performance LED device targets the often-neglected neck and décolleté area, which are regions where skin tends to show aging the fastest. CurrentBody By boosting collagen production and smoothing skin texture, this device ensures that even the most exquisite necklace is framed by flawless skin. And, here's a little behind-the-scenes magic: it was none other than Julianne Moore herself who suggested incorporating the Neck and Dec Series 2 into the scene. Proof that great taste transcends the screen. It's not just Kiki and Simone who recognize the power of great skincare. Ethan, who is suave, strategic, and secretly sentimental, knows that keeping Simone enchanted requires more than just a plump wallet. On his dresser? A bottle of Yon-Ka, ready to hydrate and refresh. After all, real charm comes with a glow that can't be faked. Whether you're watching 'Sirens' for the drama, the fashion, or the flawless faces, one thing is clear: the stars of the show (and their skin!) shine thanks to the innovative beauty tools from CurrentBody. From the Lip Perfector to the Neck and Dec Series 2, these devices are just as essential for the red carpet as they are for your at-home skincare shelf.

A 'Gilmore Girls' Cast Member Bought Andy Cohen's Apartment'
Andy Cohen lived in what has to be one of the most iconic and instantly recognizable celebrity homes in New York City—a gorgeous West Village apartment flooded with color and light, which he recently put on the market in favor of a place with outdoor space. bought his apartment? According to Us Weekly that would be Danny Strong, aka Doyle from Gilmore Girls. Though, to be clear he's done a bunch of other work things from that—including acting in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, co-writing several Hunger Games movies, co-creating Empire, and winning two Emmys. Anyway, Danny and his fiancée, actor Caitlin Mehner, are in the process of purchasing Andy's place—which sold for a rumored $12 million—and told the New York Post "Andy's apartment is my dream home. We are so excited to be moving there." Meanwhile, Andy moved to—according to the New York Times—"a penthouse that he bought for more than $18 million." He told People of the move, "Outdoor space was the decision! I always have coveted outdoor space. There is a dearth of inventory in the West Village with outdoor space, so when I found something that was meaningful enough for me to leave my dream apartment…that's what it took."
