Tyla thrills fans at Open'er Festival and hints at new music era
During her vibrant set on the Orange Main Stage at Poland's Open'er Festival, the 23-year-old South African star took a moment between songs to hint at what's next.
'You all need to catch up because there's some new music coming very soon,' she said, introducing Breathe Me, which she described as her favourite track from her debut album Tyla, released last year.
She also shared a heartfelt message ahead of Priorities, telling the crowd, 'This is basically just about prioritising yourself… and it's something that I've been doing for a while now. I'm reminding my Tigers to do that every day, no matter what.'
Despite technical difficulties that affected her stage setup, including being unable to descend from a platform and having to run backstage to re-join her dancers, Tyla kept the energy high and the audience engaged. 'I know I'm supposed to be professional,' she joked, 'but the number of technical difficulties I'm having… we're still having fun.'
Her performance marked a long-awaited return after she was forced to cancel her 2024 appearance at the festival due to injury. Grateful for the moment, she told the crowd, 'I was very low today - my energy, my vibes. But I feel really good being here in Poland.'
Tyla's dynamic set, which included both male and female dancers, was met with a warm reception from fans, who she lovingly calls her 'Tigers'. Sharing the line-up with acts like J. Balvin, Lola Young, and headliners Nine Inch Nails, Tyla stood out as a rising global force ready to take her music to the next level.

Foo Fighters bring in Ilan Rubin as drummer
The Foo Fighters have officially enlisted Ilan Rubin as their new drummer, announcing the change this week after Josh Freese exited earlier in May with little explanation. The band confirmed the swap, which saw Freese return to Nine Inch Nails to join their upcoming Peel It Back tour. The post from NIN featured a celebratory image captioned: 'Let's fucking go.' Ilan Rubin, 37, has performed with NIN as their touring drummer since 2009 and became the youngest member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2020 with the band. He's also collaborated with Paramore, Angels & Airwaves, and Danny Elfman. Freese's departure followed a two‑year tenure with Foo Fighters, as the drummer who replaced the late Taylor Hawkins in 2023, and was described by the band as a shift in musical direction. Freese later expressed that he was surprised by the decision but held no ill will. It remains unclear whether Rubin's role is permanent or exclusively for the upcoming Asia 2025 tour, which starts in Jakarta on October 2, with appearances in Singapore, Tokyo, Osaka, and Mexico City. With the swap finalized, the Foo Fighters continue to mark their 30th anniversary, having recently released a new track, Today's Song. The song included a note of gratitude to Freese and previous drummers, highlighting the band's evolving legacy.
