Concerts to see this week: Hippo Campus, Cake, Primus

Yahoo25-05-2025
The week starts slow because of Memorial Day, but ends with kickoff to summer in big outdoor concerts and street festivals.
Here are some of the shows you can catch around the Twin Cites this week.
Thursday, May 29, at Surly Festival Field
The summer season at Surly Festival Field kicks off with '90s alt rockers Cake, who are likely to be playing a longer set since they're the only ones on the bill. The quintet rose to prominence in the mid-90s on songs like "The Distance" and "Short Skirt, Long Jacket." They were seen as a sort of tongue-in-cheek rebuke of the self-serious rock music being made in the late grunge era, but were more than just irony-forward art rock with a singer in a bucket hat.
Thurdsay, May 29, at The Parkway Theater
Zola Jesus has a bold voice and haunting synths that can make her dark indie-pop feel like an attempt at conjuring a connection to another dimension. A classically-trained vocalist, her music showcases her classical influence alongside 80s goth and synth-pop. Her most recent album, Arkhon, continues her run of captivating albums that started with 2009's The Spoils in 2009 and the 2010 EP Stridulum.
Friday, May 31, at Surly Festival Field
The Surly Festival Field lineup doesn't ease its way into the summer concert pool. Almost immediately after Cake takes the stage, local indie favorites Hippo Campus headline the brewery's backyard, joined by Hotline TNT. Hippo Campus released their latest record, Flood, late last year and celebrated with a show at First Avenue. This week's show is a chance for a lot more fans to catch them playing a hometown show.
Across town, LAAMAR will celebrate the release of his new album In the Light at Icehouse. LAAMAR, aka Geoffrey Lamar Wilson, has been playing for years in various groups and even genres, but has found a comfortable, though sometimes challenging and sometimes humorous, sound with the new project.
Friday, May 31, at Turf Club
The Wedding Present have been celebrating the 35th anniversary of their second album, Bizarro. While that record came out in '89, the Leeds-born band kicked off the tour last year.
It's a pretty rare opportunity to see the band in Minnesota. Formed 40 years ago, the group hasn't undertaken a North American tour in seven years. While singer David Gedge is the only original member left, it's a celebration of an album that is one of their best. It still captured the raw punk-edged energy from their debut, George Best, but with more refined production values.
After ˆBizarro, The Wedding Present came to Minnesota a couple of times, recording their next album, Seamonsters, at Pachyderm in Cannon Falls with the late Steve Albini.
Primus, Puscifer, and A Perfect Circle
Sunday, June 1, at Xcel Energy Center
Primus, who are on their first tour with new drummer John Hoffman, continue to be one of the most idiosyncratic rock acts out there. Arguably, Les Claypool and co. have only leaned into the things that have made them such a singular group over their many decades of existence. It's been a bit since they're released a new album, but they did put out a new single, "Little Lord Fentanyl," with tourmates Puscifer earlier this year.
In addition to Puscifer, A Perfect Circle — the supergroup featuring Tool singer Maynard James Keenan — is part of the tour.
Meanwhile, Grand Old Day will have free concerts in St. Paul earlier in the day. And over at Berlin, Nona Invie will begin a June residency with guests Isa Gagarin and Walt McClements, the latter of which spent time in Dark Dark Dark with Invie and released a beautifully atmospheric solo record, On a Painted Ocean, earlier this year. Invie's first solo record, Self-soothing, came out earlier this year.Concerts on Monday, May 26:

Alex Warren's 'Ordinary' actually is the song of the summer — but nobody wants to admit it

Where is this year's song of the summer? It's the question that's haunted road trippers and pool partiers for months now. But like so many low-stakes mysteries, the answer has been hiding in plain sight (or, in this case, earshot) all along. If we're going with cold, hard facts — Billboard chart data — there's one song that's dominated the airwaves as the weather has warmed. It's just that a soaring love ballad a 24-year-old TikToker wrote about his wife is not exactly the ideal soundtrack for your day at the beach. Released in February, Alex Warren's "Ordinary" took a few months to take off, becoming a bona fide commercial juggernaut by June, when it ascended to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. It's remained atop the all-genre chart for nine weeks so far, and continues to dominate Billboard's Songs of the Summer chart, where it hasn't budged from its No. 1 position since Memorial Day. Though it makes every attempt to sound momentous, "Ordinary" is a love song that's true to its name. Dedicated to Warren's wife, Kouvr Annon, the song uses vaguely spiritual lyrics to describe their connection. His vocals backed by hymnal echoes and a pounding drum line, Warren insists "the angels up in the clouds are jealous" of his marital bliss and compares his wife to a sanctuary, a vineyard, and a sculptor. If the song's theme of divine love wasn't clear enough, the couple also costars in the music video, and Warren later released a "wedding version" of the song paired with footage from their real-life nuptials. That the song is generically gooey has worked to its advantage in the airplay department. "Ordinary" owes much of its longevity to companies like iHeartMedia, America's biggest radio network, which allocates tens of thousands of spins to the song each week. In its most recent week atop the Hot 100, "Ordinary" tallied over 73 million radio airplay audience impressions, according to Billboard, compared to only 12.4 million streams and 6,000 copies sold. The song's lack of specificity also makes it a broadly appealing soundtrack for lovey-dovey moments on TikTok, where both versions of "Ordinary" have been used in millions of videos with billions of cumulative views. Annon's own uses of the song, usually featuring sweet moments with Warren, frequently collect over 1 million likes.

By continuing you agree that you accept the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy . Call it the home court advantage: As a former YouTuber who joined Hype House, a flashy collective for big-name TikTokers, in 2020, Warren learned and then perfected the art of getting engagement. He and Annon briefly lived in the Los Angeles mansion together, constantly creating content, orchestrating David Dobrik-style pranks, and sharing glimpses of their lives together; Warren described the experience as "college, but for social media." "It helped me learn how to create content that resonates with an audience and can captivate people," he told Variety. Warren's self-conscious positioning as America's top new "wife guy" offers the media a tidy narrative to push while reporting on the song's success — and helps cement "Ordinary" as a favorite song choice for romantic montages and relationship content across the internet. But the differential between the song's commercial utility and its artistic value has perplexed critics and fans alike. "Genuinely WHO is listening to this," reads a recent tweet with over 27,000 likes. Even r/popheads, a Reddit community for recreational pop scholars whose self-appointed mission is to take the merits of the genre seriously, is full of cold contempt for the song's dominance. "I don't think you can deeply hate the song by itself," one commenter wrote, "because it's so fucking boring." Rolling Stone's Larisha Paul coined the phrase "'The Voice' Audition Core" to characterize the musical formula that "Ordinary" follows: ideal for soundtracking a throwaway emotional moment on reality TV, but devoid of any real personality. Indeed, Warren performed the song on the "Love Is Blind" season eight reunion special, slotting easily into a generic vision of happily ever after literally accompanied by a montage of couples. genuinely WHO is listening to this — kaitlyn⋆. 𐙚 ˚ (@kateawaycar) August 4, 2025 Still, there's no denying that "Ordinary" is the summer's defining hit. Remaining atop the Hot 100 for over two months is no small feat, and even as late-season challengers have emerged — most recently in the form of a fictional K-pop group from a Netflix film — there isn't enough time before the autumnal equinox for another song to challenge Warren's reign. It's just a shame that many excellent summertime jams actually have been released this year, they just lacked the radio push or market power to challenge "Ordinary" at the top of the charts. Addison Rae is Warren's fellow former TikToker-turned-singer, but the similarities end there; her cool-girl collaborators and creative curiosity resulted in a debut album, "Addison," that toes the line between nostalgic and eccentric. (The appropriately named "Summer Forever" is a standout.) Lorde's latest album, "Virgin," includes gems like "Shapeshifter" and "Favorite Daughter," which wrap arresting lyrics in melodic, highly accessible packages, the ghost of last year's " Brat summer" hovering on the margins. Care for something a little less personal, a little more irreverent? Tinashe and Disco Lines have you covered with the freshly remixed "No Broke Boys." And forget song of the summer, Haim's "Relationships" may be the song of the year. Danielle Haim and her sisters manage to spin the agony of indecision into flippant, funky magic. As the season winds down, a new Taylor Swift album draws closer, and the charts begin to change shape, may "Ordinary" serve as a reminder that summer trends may disappoint or underwhelm — but they never last forever.

Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake Season 2 – Release date speculation, cast and plot details

By Aman Shukla Published on August 15, 2025, 18:30 IST Last updated August 15, 2025, 16:35 IST The Adventure Time universe never fails to spark joy, and Fionna and Cake Season 2 has fans practically vibrating with excitement. After a wildly fun first season packed with multiverse shenanigans, heartfelt moments, and that classic Ooo weirdness, everyone's itching to know what's next for Fionna, Cake, and the gang. From release date guesses to who's voicing who and what the story might hold, here's the lowdown on everything buzzing around Season 2. Release Date Speculation: When Will Season 2 Drop? No official premiere date has dropped yet, and the wait is pure torture for fans. Looking at how things went with Season 1, though, some educated guesses can be made. Production for the first season started in August 2021 and wrapped up in time for an August 2023 debut on Max—a two-year process. If Season 2 follows a similar timeline, late 2025 or early 2026 feels like a solid bet. Adam Muto, the showrunner, spilled in 2024 that the team was knee-deep in animatics, with some posts on X hinting at a first look possibly coming at New York Comic-Con in October 2025. That's got fans hopeful for a fall 2025 release, maybe even around September, with episodes dropping weekly. But, let's be real—delays happen. The 2023 Writers Guild strike slowed things down, so a 2026 premiere isn't out of the question. Either way, it'll be worth the wait for more of that Adventure Time magic. Cast: Who's Returning? The voice cast is one of the biggest draws for Fionna and Cake , and Season 2 looks set to bring back the heavy hitters. Madeleine Martin should return as Fionna, the sword-swinging, adventure-loving human who stole hearts in Season 1. Roz Ryan's Cake, the sassy magical cat, is also a safe bet to tag along. Then there's Tom Kenny as Simon Petrikov, whose post-Ice King struggles gave the first season so much emotional weight. The Adventure Time crew loves sprinkling in familiar faces, so expect some returning stars. Donald Glover as Marshall Lee and Andrew Rannells as Gary Prince brought so much charm last time, and fans are crossing fingers they'll be back. Hynden Walch's Princess Bubblegum and Jeremy Shada's Finn are also likely to pop up. A script snippet Roz Ryan shared on Instagram for an episode called 'The Crocodile Who Bit a Log' name-dropped Matthew Broderick as the Spirit Dream Warrior, which has fans buzzing. That said, some roles like Huntress Wizard and Witch Wizard were listed as TBD, stirring up chatter about potential recasting or scheduling hiccups. Remember the mix-up with Kumail Nanjiani's Prismo in Season 1? Hopefully, the team sorts out any casting kinks this time around. Plot Details: What's Next for Fionna and Cake? Season 1 left jaws on the floor with its multiverse-hopping chaos and Fionna's big revelation: her universe is considered an 'abomination' by the Scarab. Talk about an identity crisis! Season 2, spanning 10 episodes, will likely pick up right where things left off, diving into Fionna's quest to figure out who she is and where she fits in this wild multiverse. Cake, as always, will be by her side, probably dishing out witty one-liners and magical mayhem. One big question mark is Prismo's mysterious 'big boss,' teased in Season 1 but never revealed. Fans on X are throwing out theories—could it be a new cosmic entity or someone tied to the Adventure Time lore? The season might also lean into Simon's ongoing arc, though some speculate Huntress Wizard could steal the spotlight. Expect the usual blend of quirky humor, deep feels, and bizarre creatures, with maybe a few new characters shaking things up. Marceline, Finn, and Bubblegum are bound to make appearances, tying the spinoff to its Adventure Time roots. Ahmedabad Plane Crash Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .
