Damian Lazarus' Day Zero Party to Debut in 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.

Billionaire behind Paramount mega-deal obtaining Israeli residency
Korff's connection to Israel spans several years, marked by his substantial charitable donations to various Israeli causes, including the IDF, medical institutions, and local community projects. Brandon Korff, a Jewish-American billionaire renowned for orchestrating one of the media industry's landmark deals, the $35 billion sale of Paramount, is in the process of securing Israeli residency. A senior government official confirmed that Korff recently filed his application for Israeli residency, framing his decision as a gesture of solidarity in the face of global boycotts and rising hostility. In 2025, Korff significantly increased his time spent in Israel, becoming a more visible figure within the country. 'This is a meaningful and encouraging step for Israel,' the official remarked. 'At a time when Israel's global standing is under scrutiny, such a powerful media figure is a welcome presence.' Korff's connection to Israel spans several years, marked by his substantial charitable donations to various Israeli causes, including the IDF, medical institutions, and local community projects. His philanthropic support has noticeably grown in tandem with his longer stays in the country. Additionally, his brother served as a lone soldier in an elite IDF unit. Invigorating Paramount's legacy Korff is the grandson of the late Sumner Redstone, the influential media mogul behind Paramount, which, under his leadership, grew into a global powerhouse. In addition to owning major networks like CBS and MTV, Paramount held the rights to some of the most iconic entertainment properties, including Star Trek and Mission: Impossible. The company's recent sale at a valuation of $35 billion marked a historic shift. Korff's move to obtain Israeli residency is viewed by political officials as a step that could help build stronger connections between Israel and one of the most prominent families in global media, and as a clear vote of confidence in the country at a particularly sensitive time.

Kid Rock Goes ‘Nutz' Over California Gov. Gavin Newsom's Fake Endorsement Poster
California Gov. Gavin Newsom has been on an all-caps roll lately trolling the Trump White House. In a series of cap-locked Truth Social-like screeds, Newsom's press office account has expertly approximated the shouting out the window tone of many of Donald Trump's social missives while taking aim at the President, his administration members and Fox News supporters in satirical screeds on X. But over the weekend Newsom appeared to cross a line when he brought vocal Trump pal Kid Rock into the fray. In a clearly Photoshopped poster mimicking the iconic Uncle Sam Wants You WWI Army recruitment posters, Newsom's team threw up an image of Rock in a red, white and blue top hat and matching suit in front of the American flag with the message 'Kid Rock Wants You to Support Gavin Newsom.' More from Billboard Jack White Rips Donald Trump's 'Vulgar, Gold-Leafed and Gaudy' White House Makeover, Comparing it To 'Wrestler's Dressing Room' Judas Priest's Rob Halford Said He Was 'Curled Up in a Ball' Weeping in Reaction to Ozzy Osbourne's Death Australian Country Star Troy Cassar-Daley Saluted With Excellence In The Community Award Extending the clearly fake endorsement, Newsom's personal account added 'Thanks, @KidRock!!,' in seeming appreciation of the unexpected endorsement from the rocker-turned-country-singer who labeled Trump an 'American Badass' in an interview in January. As you might expect, Rock, 54, didn't love it. In a response post, the 'Don't Tell Me How to Live' singer wrote, 'The only support Gavin Newscum will ever get out of me is from DEEZ NUTZ,' repurposing one of Trump's pet nicknames for the California politician. Newsom went all-in this week on his challenge to Trump's call for off-cycle redistricting in Texas to hold on to Republican's slim House next year by asking Californians to vote on redistricting in the Golden State. The Rock AI post appeared to be a call-back to a Trump post from last year in which the former reality TV star shared a clearly cooked-up images of Taylor Swift falsely claiming that the singer had endorsed him. Trump has since repeatedly said he 'hates' Swift, recently lashing out at the world's biggest pop star by claiming that he 'can't stand her (HATE!)' and that she is 'NO LONGER HOT.' Newsom didn't miss that opportunity to troll either, with the Governor's press office writing on Tuesday (Aug. 19), 'I HATE KID ROCK !!!'
