Damian Lazarus' Day Zero Party to Debut in Brazil in 2026
Damian Lazarus is bringing his longstanding Day Zero party to Brazil in 2026.
The event will happen Jan. 3 in São Miguel dos Milagres, Brazil, located on the country's northern coast in the state of Alagoas. Details regarding the lineup will be announced in the coming months. Bookings will presumably fuse the rich musical heritage of the country, a major hotbed for electronic music, with the global house and techno artists that Day Zero has long booked.

'After a long and thoughtful search for the perfect location to begin a new chapter of Day Zero, we're thrilled to introduce the world to São Miguel dos Milagres, on Brazil's breathtaking northeast coast,' Lazarus tells Billboard.
'This region — rich in mysticism, natural beauty and cultural depth — offers both a spectacular setting and the infrastructure to welcome our global community,' the producer continues. 'We're also proud to be collaborating with some of Brazil's most experienced and respected event partners, whose vision and expertise have shaped many of the country's most iconic gatherings. 2026 is going to be a very special year for Day Zero as we embark on incredible new adventures.'
Being produced in partnership with Brazil's Entourage Live, Plus Network, Tamo Junto, Gaz Events and BOMA, the Brazil edition of Day Zero marks the party's latest expansion, with Lazarus bringing the event to a site adjacent to Israel's Masada National Park in 2019. (Subsequent editions of the Israeli event were cancelled amid the pandemic and ongoing supply chain and production cost issues.)
Day Zero will also happen in its original home of Tulum in 2026.
This original Day Zero edition of Day Zero began in the Mexican resort town in 2012, with Lazarus and his team then launching it to coincide with the end of the Mayan calendar. The party has taken place in the jungle near Tulum nearly every year since (taking off 2018 and 2021) with the music and ceremonial-oriented activities going from sunset to sunrise.

Volaris Reports Decrease in Consolidated Load Factor for May
Mexican carrier Controladora Vuela Compañía de Aviación VLRS, or Volaris, recently reported a year-over-year increase in revenue passenger miles (RPMs: a measure of air traffic) for May. Volaris reported a 9% year-over-year increase in consolidated capacity (measured in available seat miles). The load factor (% of seats filled by passengers) decreased 4.3 percentage points to 81.8% on a consolidated basis. The metric fell as the increase in consolidated traffic (3.5%) was less than the increase in consolidated capacity. During May, Volaris transported 2.5 million passengers, up 4.2% year over year. On the domestic front, RPMs and ASMs (Available Seat Miles) increased 5.7% and 10.4%, respectively, from the May 2024 levels. The domestic load factor in May was 86.5%, a decrease of 3.8 percentage points from the year-ago levels. In international markets, RPM decreased 0.2% year over year, while ASM rose 6.8% year over year. The international load factor decreased by 5.2 percentage points on a year-over-year basis to 74.7%. Apart from VLRS, other airline companies like Ryanair Holdings RYAAY have also reported May traffic numbers. Ryanair reported solid traffic numbers for May 2025, driven by upbeat air travel demand. The number of passengers transported on Ryanair flights was 18.9 million in May 2025, reflecting a 4% year-over-year increase. The May load factor (percentage of seats filled by passengers) of 95% was higher than the year-ago reading of 94%, reflecting consistent passenger demand for the airline's services. VLRS currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Investors interested in the Transportation sector may consider Copa Holdings CPA. CPA, based in Panama City, Panama, is gaining from upbeat passenger volumes. Driven by the buoyant air travel demand scenario, RPMs increased 10.1% year over year in the first quarter of 2025.

The video shows the singer driving her car with wind in her hair. The song is set to appear on an upcoming album.

"So happy to celebrate this milestone anniversary with you all for an album that meant so much to me then, and means even more now," Carey said on Instagram.

Barry Manilow heartbroken by Billy Joel's health crisis
Barry Manilow's heart "broke" when he heard about Billy Joel's health crisis. The veteran musician was forced to cancel all of his tour dates for the rest of the year after he was diagnosed with a rare brain condition called Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH), which is caused by a build-up of fluid in the brain, and now Manilow has admitted he feels terrible about seeing the Piano Man go through such a tough time. He told Billboard: "Oh, it's so horrible, so horrible. It just broke my heart when I heard about Billy Joel. I'm such a fan of his work. I really hope he's able to get back to it." Manilow went on to admit there aren't many of his contemporaries still performing. He said: "It's like: 'What? Am I the only one left?' It's Billy Joel, and Elton [John] is not well and Rod [Stewart] and Neil [Diamond]. Diana Ross is still in great shape, I think. "There must be only a handful of people in my world that are still there. "I'm still healthy. I'm strong and I've still got my voice and my energy. The night I can't hit the F natural on Even Now, that's the night I throw in the towel. But I can still do it." Joel recently axed all of his tour dates - including 17 dates in North America and England - but reports suggest he has no plans to retire despite the diagnosis. Announcing the news on social media, a statement from Joel's team read: "Billy Joel has announced that he will be cancelling all scheduled concerts following a recent diagnosis of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH). This condition has been exacerbated by recent concert performances, leading to problems with hearing, vision and balance. "Under his doctor's instructions, Billy is undergoing physical therapy and has been advised to refrain from performing during this recovery period. Billy is thankful for the excellent care he is receiving and is fully committed to prioritising his health. "He is grateful for the support from fans during this time and looks forward to the day when he can once again take the stage." Billy added his own message to fans, saying: "I'm sincerely sorry to disappoint our audience, and thank you for understanding."
