Hip-hop supergroup Deltron 3030 will perform its debut album in its entirety this fall

Yahoo25-04-2025
The influential hip-hop trio Deltron 3030 is celebrating the 25th anniversary of its self-titled debut album with a 16-date North American tour.
Del the Funky Homosapien, Dan the Automator, and Kid Koala will start the second leg of their tour at the Uptown Theater in Minneapolis on Sept. 24, where they'll play their debut in its entirety.
The classic record featured contributions from Damon Albarn, with whom the trio had collaborated on the completion of the first Gorillaz album.
It also featured contributions from Prince Paul, Peanut Butter Wolf, Money Mark, Crash Test Dummies' Brad Roberts, Sean Lennon, and many others. Though, there aren't any announced plans to have any of those guests appear on the tour.
The announcement adds that the group is "in development" on a third record, which would be their first since 2013's Event 2.
A next act for Deltron 3030 has been the subject of rumors for years. While the group has performed here and there — including a show last year at Red Rocks Amphitheater with Atmosphere and Method Man & Redman — they haven't embarked on a full tour in a while.
Tickets will go on sale to the public on Friday, April 25, at 10 a.m.

Shakira Leads Mermaid Waves Summer Hair Trend at the ‘Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran' World Tour

Shakira shook more than just her hips on Monday night at her 'Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran' world tour stop in Los Angeles; she whipped her strawberry blond hair, too. Continuing the North American leg of the concert series, the 48-year-old Colombian singer, born Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll, took the SoFi Stadium stage with mermaid waves in keeping with the Mod summer hair trends. More from WWD How Anne Hathaway Revived '80s-inspired Disco Party Girl Makeup on 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' Set Netflix's 'Wednesday' Season Two Press Tour: All the Best Hair and Makeup Moments Halsey's Blue Pixie Cut and Micro Bangs Channel Anime-influence and Y2K Nostalgia at 'Americana' Screening The drawn-out ripples swept over Shakira's head like a rainbow as she danced around on stage singing a medley of her hit songs. Her roots added volume to the otherwise elongated style, allowing her dark underlayers to shine through the lighter parts of her hair coloring. Though the style wasn't anything new for the 'Waka Waka' performer, the choice felt particularly appropriate given the current obsession with mermaid waves and the three-barrel wave tools going viral online now. A simple search for 'waver' on TikTok will generate more than 30,000 videos of influencers, stylists and hair enthusiasts alike using the hot tool to create the aquatic-inspired look. On the red carpet, several stars have sported the textured style such as Cazzie David, Sarah Jessica Parker, Ariana Madix and Kate Hudson. Some have combined the waves with other reemerging fads like the side part and the wet hair look. Shakira has been a leader of the intentionally messy aesthetic for years. Indeed, the curls have matured as she has. In 2005, Shakira's muddy blond hair was kept short; the ripples taking the shape of coils, teased and tossed about. Here, her hair bore a natural finish as if she'd let it air dry after the shower. Now, Shakira's waves appear structured and intact; however, she's come to favor a blowout aesthetic, too. Celebrating the release of her new hair care brand, Isima, which officially went on the market back in June, the music artist spoke with WWD about the role her hair has played in the formation of her persona through her many eras, on and off the stage. 'My hair has been my identity for a long time. My entire life I've felt that way, and I've had a love-hate relationship with my hair,' she said. 'I love it because I need it, but I also hate it when it makes me suffer.' Isima launched with eight products: The Reset Clarifying Shampoo, Iconic Densifying Scalp Serum, Delicia Reparative Hair Oil, Curls Don't Lie Curl Perfector, All In Restorative Leave-In Conditioner, Riquísima Hydrating Shampoo, Suavísima Hydrating Conditioner and Súperbomba Triple Repair Peptide Mask. 'I want it to be inspiring for other women,' Shakira told WWD. 'I want it to be empowering for women, I want my community to feel that finally they don't have to be underserved, and I don't think the old saying of 'less is more' is true for hair care,' she said. 'More is more with hair. Mine always needs more, right? That's the whole thing, the whole back-and-forth with the Isima team.'

He's ‘The Wiz' and he lives … in Boston

This production is part of the show's national tour, with direction by Schele Williams, an updated book by Amber Ruffin, and choreography by JaQuel Knight. Charlie Smalls's timeless score features two of the greatest 11 o'clock numbers in the history of Broadway, 'Believe in Yourself' and 'Home.' I spoke to Williams and Ruffin about what's new in this revival, and why the show resonates with audiences. Don't worry, nobody's bringing ' Boston Globe: 'The Wiz' was the first musical I ever saw on Broadway. Nearly 50 years later, I saw your excellent production, which made me feel like that 6-year-old kid again. What was your introduction to the material? Advertisement Amber Ruffin: I didn't see the original Broadway production, so I'd say the movie. Schele Williams: I saw a production in Dayton, Ohio. I also played Dorothy in a production of 'The Wiz' my senior year of high school. So, this show has had an impact on my life three times. Sheherazade as Glinda and Dana Cimone as Dorothy in the North American tour of "The Wiz." Jeremy Daniel BG: Adapting 'The Wiz' had to be a daunting task. The material is so beloved, especially by Black folks. What was your approach to updating the material? Advertisement SW: To revive [a musical] means to give it new life. What I wanted to do, more than anything, was to honor the original Broadway and movie versions of 'The Wiz,' the original 'Wizard of Oz' film, and the L. Frank Baum books. So that whatever your entry point into this story was, you knew that we valued it, and that you were welcome in this space. BG: There was a lot of '70s slang in the original Broadway show book, if I recall correctly. AR: Certainly. I went through and took that slang out. I only left in slang that I thought would be timeless. Because our goal was to make a 'Wiz' that you could do today or 30 years from now. You know that you can't satisfy everyone. But you can provide an excellent time that is extremely honest. BG: Let's talk a bit about casting. How insane was it to cast this musical? I'm sure everyone was coming out of the woodwork to audition. SW: Anytime you can sit in a room and hear that glorious score over and over, you feel like the luckiest person in the world. Charlie Smalls wrote some of the most dynamite songs ever sung on the American stage. It was really incredible to see a new generation of artists embracing this material with their whole hearts. I've had to fully cast this show twice, and it has been exciting because this new tour has incredible talent. They bring their own flavor to it, which is so beautiful. Advertisement Kyla Jade as Evillene in the North American tour of "the Wiz." Jeremy Daniel AR: Those people sang the butts off of those songs! I had never heard the center of every note of a song before in my life. They were doing it live, day in and day out, and it really humbled me. When Evillene [the Wicked Witch] was singing 'No Bad News' in rehearsals, and she pulled out the tambourine, we just melted. BG: That was improvised? AR: Yeah, and we all said, 'That's going in the show!' BG: 'No Bad News' is one of my favorite songs, because it's so churchy. Well, the original musical made it kind of churchy, then Quincy Jones amped it up for the movie. But your production — hell, I was ready to go back to church! AR: Yup. It was so good it made me believe in the Lord! BG: Me too — for about five minutes. Just kidding, Jesus! AR: [laughs] I died when she pulled out that tambourine. BG: Speaking of songs, there were some additions to the score as well as a minor rearrangement of the order of songs. Now 'Be a Lion' closes the first act, as opposed to the Tin Man's 'What Would I Do If I Could Feel' and The Wiz's big number is now in Act 2. SW: Thankfully, I had the blessing of the [Smalls] estate to really reimagine this. In my storyboards, I thought: What do we want to leave the audience with at the end of Act One? And I felt like once the show gets to 'Be a Lion,' and [the characters] are all pushing themselves to be as brave as they can be to meet this Wiz, I wanted to end there with this hope. And I wanted to have the anticipation of starting the second act with meeting The Wiz. Advertisement AR: 'Be a Lion' was so good, we didn't want anything to follow it before intermission. We did have one big change because we got the rights to 'You Can't Win' [a song originally cut from the musical that was in the movie]. We also added 'Wonder Wonder Why' as a song for Dorothy. D. Jerome as The Tinman in the North American tour of "The Wiz." Jeremy Daniel BG: I played The Tin Man in a community production of 'The Wiz,' and Schele played Dorothy. If you were in 'The Wiz,' Amber, who would you play? AR: I'd play Addaperle. BG: Would you put numbers in your wig like in the movie, where she's Munchkinland's numbers runner? AR: Maybe. But I'd drag the show down. BG: I just remembered that, in the original Broadway musical, Addaperle was AR: I would like to see a full list of every Black person who is famous now, and has been in any production of 'The Wiz,' and what part they played. I'm not kidding when I say it's at least 15 percent of everyone we know to be famous. BG: Putting you on the spot: Favorite song from 'The Wiz' SW: I'd say 'Home.' AR: 'No Bad News' and 'Be a Lion.' BG: I also vote for 'No Bad News' and 'Be a Lion.' To close out, why do you think 'The Wiz' resonates so much with us? Why does it speak so powerfully to folks across generations? SW: The original story is all about a journey, right? And the journey has danger, it has complications, but it also has incredible hope. And 'The Wiz,' specifically under Amber's rewrite, is joyful. It is a good time. And as you meet these quirky characters, you fall in love with them for who they are. I think it just continues to speak to our humanity. We want to be fully embraced for who we are, and we want to find our tribe. The people who push us to be our very best, who are constantly believing in us when we don't believe in ourselves. Advertisement At the end of the day, the story is about hope. It's filled with joy. It pushes us to be brave. And I think we see ourselves in Dorothy. In 'Home,' she says this is what I've discovered and what I've learned. And we all go through that many times in life. That's what makes 'The Wiz' so resonant. Interviews with Ruffin and Williams were edited and condensed. THE WIZ Aug. 12-24 at Citizens Opera House. Odie Henderson is the Boston Globe's film critic.

The Buccaneers Season 3 - News, Cast, Updates, More

Now that the second season of The Buccaneers has ended and so friggin' much has happened, what happens next? Can we get The Buccaneers season 3 ASAP, please? And, honestly, a cross-over with The Gilded Age while we're at it? The show, which stars Kristine Froseth as Nan St. George, one of half a dozen American debutantes ("North American Scum" according to the LCD Soundsystem cover that plays over the credits) trying to make it in England's high society, has so many cliffhangers and loose threads that I'm not above begging for more. As of the season 2 finale, there's no word yet from Apple about a renewal or a cancellation. So we wait! Hopefully we won't have to wait too long. Last time, the show was renewed for season 2 just under a week after the season 1 finale. Spoilers for the season 2 finale ahead. The finale set up so many potential stories it's hard to keep track of them all. For one thing, Nan is pregnant and fully runs away with the Duke's heir just as he has officially announced his intention to abdicate his duties. That's one of many plot bombs that the series dropped at the end of the season. Where's she going? She just ran off into the night. Where, and how is she going to hide with this baby? Theo publicly dumped his title and Nan so that he could be with Lizzy, but I have my doubts that that relationship will last. For one thing, it came out of nowhere. For another, in Edith Wharton's book Lizzy does end up with Hector Robinson. Sure, he's kind of a villain in the show after exposing Theo's affair to the press, but if The Buccaneers is renewed for a season 3 he could be redeemed. Think about how many crazy twists and turns there were in season 2. Anything could happen. There's also Kit, Theo's "dangerous" secret half-brother OTW to take the title. Let's not forget about Guy and Paloma, either. Their wedding may have been impulsive, but Paloma clearly wants to stick around a bit longer. I'm also kind of obsessed with the plan that Conchita and Mabel came up with to sneakily help LGBTQ+ and other outcasts navigate society. I need to see that play out in season 3! The first season was released in the late fall/early winter of 2023. This season, of course, dropped in summer 2025. Since it's unlikely that the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes in 2023 delayed the second season, it's probably fair to expect a similar timeline if and when the show gets a third season. The best educated guess is that The Buccaneers season 3 comes out in fall/winter 2027. Let's hope they actually get to make that happen!
