CONCERTS: Deftones at Rogers Aug. 24, 54-40, Blackie and the Rodeo Kings top Beaumont Music Fest June 20-21
The innovative and experimental band sometimes dubbed the 'Radiohead of metal' has in its 37 years strayed into everything from trip hop to funk, dream pop to psychedelia, but is best known for the soupy, slow-burn Change (In the House of Flies), the wispy then face-kick thrash of My Own Summer, the swirly-drunken Mascara and of course that bikini album cover of 1997's stratosphere-rising Around the Fur, followed by White Pony in 2000 — which netted the band a Grammy for Best Metal Performance for the song Elite.
With nine albums, they've sold over 10 million albums around the world, streamed 8.3 billion times.
Frontman Chino Moreno, guitarist Stephen Carpenter and drummer Abe Cunningham are all childhood friends and Deftones OGs still with the band for those into endurance and continuity, which can likely be attributed at least in part to the fact the band never stays exactly in one place, always willing to push into strange new dimensions.
Keyboardist Frank Delgado has also been around since guesting way back on the first album.
Phantogram and The Barbarians of California open the show up, general on-sale tickets 10 a.m. Monday, with pre-sales 10 a.m. Friday.
Meanwhile, Beaumont Music Festival has announced the lovely Blackie and the Rodeo Kings and iconic Canadian rock band 54-40 as its Friday and Saturday night headliners.
Taking place in Beaumont's Four Seasons Park June 20 and 21 — same weekend as North Country Fair up by Driftpile and Sled Island down in Calgary — BMF in its 18th iteration claims the title of longest-running 100 per cent all-Canadian music festival.
Friday will also feature Five Alarm Funk, Jeremy Fisher and Shaguar.
Saturday — a CanRock celebration — will see The Grapes of Wrath, ODDS and RadioActive join the fun.
More info and passes — $139 for the whole weekend — are waiting for you at beaumontmusicfestival.ca.

Why Millennials Love Subtitles
Fellow millennials, I need to get your honest opinion on something. How do you *really* feel about having the subtitles on when you watch TV? Reddit user Some_Kinda_Username recently posed this same question, and people couldn't help but rave endlessly about how great closed captions are. While I might not be a fan of reading while watching my favorite TV show or movie, others just can't get enough! Here's what they had to say on this polarizing topic: "I love me some subtitles! Warning, though, they are addictive. Once you get used to them, it's nearly impossible, or at least quite infuriating, to watch anything without them." "I was using subtitles before it was cool." "Sound mixing is a lost art. Gotta make sure everyone hears the explosions over the actors advancing the plot by whispering." "I love subtitles! Everyone in my house starts talking the second the shows we want to watch come on. I feel that subtitles are a nice compromise. They talk during the show, but I can still enjoy it by reading the captions. Problem solved!" "Subtitles are real-time spoilers." "My late wife was Romanian, and while her English was perfect and much better than mine (I'm British/Canadian), she always wanted subtitles to help her follow along. Something about her brain's ability to translate speech was more tiring than reading. Now I keep them on by default." "I can't watch anything without subtitles anymore. 😭" "I usually have my kids or wife trying to talk to me at the same time I'm watching anything, so if I want to know what's going on, I have to have them on." "How else am I supposed to hear my show over the crunching of this bowl of cereal I'm eating as my fourth meal?" "My husband got me into the whole 'subtitles or bust' thing, and now my anxiety levels elevate if someone is watching something and there are no subtitles." "I have a household of people, and it helps when they don't want to quiet down." "Having been hard of hearing my whole life, the fact that we now have captions on nearly all streaming media has been a godsend for me." "I want it on, and my wife wants it off. It's a real battle." "90% of the time I watch shows or movies, the kids are asleep. Subtitles are mandatory when playing at a low volume." "I feel like I miss too many things without captions." "It's like lowering the volume on your radio when you're lost driving around. I know I'm not the only one." "I've been using subtitles since the '90s. You can pry them from my cold, dead hands." "But like, why does the TV sound different when the subtitles are off?" OK, now I need to know what you feel about this:

Sullivan's Crossing Season 4: Release date rumors, cast updates and plot – Everything we know so far
Fans of Sullivan's Crossing can't stop buzzing about the cozy Canadian drama that's taken Netflix by storm. After a jaw-dropping Season 3 finale, everyone's eager to know what's next for Maggie, Cal, and the rest of the Timberlake crew. Here's the latest scoop on Season 4, packed with release date speculation, cast updates, and plot predictions to keep the excitement alive. Sullivan's Crossing Season 4 Potential Release Date Nobody's dropped an official release date for Season 4 yet, but there's enough tea to spill based on how the show's been rolling out. Sullivan's Crossing has a pretty steady groove. Season 1 kicked off on CTV in March 2023, then hit The CW in October 2023. Season 2 showed up on CTV in April 2024, followed by The CW in October 2024. Season 3 kept the pattern, landing on CTV in April 2025 and The CW in May 2025. If the trend holds, Season 4 should pop up on CTV around April or May 2026, with The CW airing it a bit later, maybe June 2026. Word on the street—or rather, posts on X—says filming started in Halifax, Nova Scotia, in August 2025 and should wrap by November. That keeps things on track for a 2026 premiere. Netflix fans, you'll probably get Season 4 around August 2026, a few months after The CW run, since Season 3 dropped on Netflix in August 2025. Sullivan's Crossing Season 4 Expected Cast The Sullivan's Crossing crew feels like family at this point, and most of the faves should be back for Season 4. Here's the rundown on who's likely strolling through Timberlake: Morgan Kohan as Maggie Sullivan Chad Michael Murray as Cal Jones Scott Patterson as Sully Sullivan Andrea Menard as Edna Cranebear Tom Jackson as Frank Cranebear Lindura as Sydney Shandon Reid Price as Rob Shandon Dakota Taylor as Rafe Vadas Amalia Williamson as Lola Gunderson Cindy Sampson as Jane Kate Vernon as Helen Culver Marcus Rosner as Liam Davies Sullivan's Crossing Season 4 Potential Plot That Season 3 finale on June 22, 2025, had jaws on the floor. Liam Davies rolling into town, calling himself Maggie's husband? Total plot twist! Season 4's gotta unpack that mess and more. Here's what's probably cooking based on the finale and the show's knack for romance and heart: Maggie and Cal: Love on the Rocks? Maggie and Cal were finally getting their groove on in Season 3, with Maggie settling into Timberlake and planning her own clinic. Then Liam drops the 'husband' bomb. Is it legit, or is there some wild backstory? Season 4's bound to dig into Maggie's past, maybe flashing back to what went down with Liam. This could put her and Cal's romance through the wringer. Fans on X are already freaking out about whether these two can survive another hurdle. Their chemistry's too good to fizzle, but it's gonna be a bumpy ride. Sully's Big Adventure Sully shocked everybody by deciding to head to Ireland with Helen. Season 4 might follow him across the pond, showing how he's handling this new chapter. Will he come back to the campground, or is Maggie taking over for good? His journey's gonna tug at the heartstrings, especially after all he's been through with Maggie. Edna and Frank's Healing Vibes Edna's brain surgery was a nail-biter, and Maggie pulled it off like a champ. Now, Edna and Frank's story will probably focus on soaking up life and leaning on each other. Their scenes always bring the warm fuzzies, balancing out the heavier drama. More Timberlake Drama The rest of the crew's got plenty going on. Sydney and Rafe's relationship is a hot mess—will they make it to the altar, or crash and burn? Lola and Jacob's flirty vibes could turn into something more. Rob and Jane might be headed for wedding bells, too. The campground itself could face trouble, maybe money issues or some shady new character stirring the pot. And Maggie's clinic? That's a whole new adventure, mixing her doctor skills with small-town life. Ahmedabad Plane Crash
