As Billboard previously reported, the GMA Dove Awards are relocating from Lipscomb University's Allen Arena to downtown Nashville's Bridgestone Arena for this year's show.
'We have been so honored to partner with Lipscomb these past eleven years for the GMA Dove Awards,' GMA president Jackie Patillo previously said in a statement to Billboard. 'The reality is, we are growing! In 2025, we will be expanding to Bridgestone Arena for our live show happening Oct. 7. We couldn't be more excited to showcase the heart of our Christian and Gospel community right in the heart of Music City.'
The GMA Dove Awards have sold out several months in advance for the past three years. Lipscomb University's Allen Arena has an approximately 5,000-person capacity whereas Bridgestone Arena has a concert attendance capacity of up to 20,000. Bridgestone Arena, located at the corner of Broadway and Rep. John Lewis Way, also hosts the annual Country Music Association Awards.
The new location will coincide with the 2025 opening of the Christian and Gospel Museum at the Dove Center, located at 147 Fourth Ave. N., at the corner of Fourth Ave. and Commerce Street. The 11,000-square-feet museum and hall of fame will be located near the historic Ryman Auditorium, and will feature interactive displays to celebrate today's top Christian and Gospel artists, while also preserving and spotlighting the legacies of many Christian and Gospel trailblazing pioneers.
Tickets to the 2025 GMA Dove Awards presale are available at ticketmaster.com.

James Gunn Keeps Teasing His Next Superman Movie
Could Godzilla x Kong introduce a deep-cut new monster? Kevin Bacon wants you to see the new Toxic Avenger. Plus, Hostel is heading to Peacock for a new horror streaming series with Paul Giamatti. Spoilers now!In response to a fan on Threads (via Deadline), James Gunn revealed he's begun writing his previously teased DC film, in which 'Superman has a major role,' but the project is 'not Superman 2.' In a since-expired Instagram story posted by cinematographer Simon England (via Screen Rant), a photo from the set of Godzilla X Kong: Supernova, now filming in Moab, Utah saw 'the outline of a winged four-legged creature with a bolt of lightning in the background,' causing the outlet to speculate the sequel finally plans to introduce Gryphon, a monster planned to appear in Jan De Bont's scrapped 1994 Godzilla movie designed by the late Stan Winston. Variety reports Shout! Studios has acquired the English-language distribution rights to Steve Kostanski's Deathstalker remake. However, a release date has yet to be scheduled. Fangoria has four new posters for Shelby Oaks, the Mike Flanagan-produced mockumentary from YouTube creator Chris Stuckmann starring Camille Sullivan, Brendan Sexton III, and Sarah Durn, ahead of the trailer releasing next week. Chuck Russell's Witchboard remake enjoys a gory, 'red band' trailer. Elsewhere, Kevin Bacon sings a song about seeing the new Toxic Avenger in movie theaters. A vampire who's been terrorizing Philadelphia for the past 80 years begins a relationship with the nurse caring for her still-human son (Robert Picardo) in the trailer for How Far Does the Dark Go? According to Variety, Paul Giamatti is attached to star in a TV series based on Eli Roth's Hostel franchise, now in development at Peacock. Finally, mysterious happenings are afoot at Toni Collette's retreat for troubled teens in the trailer for Wayward, coming to Netflix this September 25. Want more io9 news?

Béis's New Collab With Gap Is What Denim Dreams Are Made Of
What do you get when one of the most beloved clothing brands of all time teams up with one of the most popular travel brands of the moment? Gap x Béis, a 26-piece capsule of travel-ready clothes, accessories, and denim-inspired luggage co-designed by actor and entrepreneur Shay Mitchell, the founder and chief creative officer of Béis. Trendy travelers have been ogling Béis's sleek suitcases, bags, and accessories since Mitchell first launched the brand in 2018 (we're big fans over here at Condé Nast Traveler!), but this collab marks the brand's first foray into apparel, with a limited-edition collection of tops, bottoms, jackets, hats, and even kids clothing, designed to be comfy and multi-functional for a day on the go. 'Travel has always been a big part of my life, and I've learned that what you wear and carry can completely shift your experience,' Mitchell told Traveler exclusively. 'This collection was built with that in mind. We wanted to create pieces that move with you—whether you're sprinting through an airport, exploring a new city, or just trying to get some sleep on a long flight.' Take a peek at the lineup and you'll find an oversized hoodie with a built-in neck pillow, a convertible jumpsuit that folds down into pants, and even cargo pants that zip off into shorts. If you're already a fan of Béis, you may also notice that the clothing items come in the brand's signature colorways: beige, black, and berry pink, perfect for mixing and matching. Gap x Béis Convertible bandeau jumpsuit $88 Gap Gap x Béis Baggy jeans $118 Gap 'Partnering with Gap on this collection and campaign felt deeply nostalgic and meaningful—I grew up with the brand,' says Mitchell. True to Gap form, the line also includes a pair of denim shorts, a denim jacket, a denim T-shirt, and two pairs of jeans—all loose and comfortable enough to be worn on a flight. The five Gap x Béis luggage pieces—a backpack, weekender, small carry-on, regular carry-on, and checked suitcase—are also inspired by Gap's classic jeans, each sporting a gorgeous light blue hue. This is the first time Béis has come out with a blue colorway, so expect the shade to sell out quick. Gap x Béis Denim backpack $128 Gap Starting August 1 at 9 a.m. ET, the Gap x Béis collection will be available on (where you'll find the entire collection), (where you'll find the entire luggage line plus select pieces of clothing) and in select Gap stores across the US, Canada, and Japan. Pieces range from $8–$128 for apparel and accessories, and $128–$378 for luggage and other travel bags.

A New Documentary Brings the Spirit of Jack Kerouac's America Into the 21st Century
It's been close to 70 years since On the Road was first published. How did you go about depicting the roads of America today? EB: For me, it was really about telling these modern day stories, focusing on these contemporary travelers and their stories and really trying to draw a picture between this world that we live in today, where we are consumed by social media and we're consumed by our phones, and the fact that the one thing we're all still desperately searching for is community. Especially on the road, regardless of who you are, regardless of your politics, regardless of what part of the country you come from, the roads still really offers that community and that sense of bringing us together. No matter how siloed we may become, the road—and particularly the American road—really does keep us together. It makes us into a community. It forces us to be a community when so many other algorithms are sending us in different directions. EH: When we were tasked with a Kerouac project, we didn't want to do a straight biopic, and we definitely didn't want to do a story just unquestioningly celebrating these authors. We decided to take the approach that we did with On the Road to speak honestly to our own lenses. With Ebs, he's black, he's gay, he's American. He was like, I could never take this trip when I was growing up, in America. And as a woman, I thought, 'Yeah, he's right. It was very, very scary.' So we started to have more conversations about America and also about how the more things changed, the more they stay the same, how it is still problematic to travel through certain states yet, there's that great, big loop in America—that no matter what's happening politically, the road also connects you to the rest of the country, and it is this big, complicated thing.
