Everything You Missed at the Cincinnati Music Festival [PHOTOS + VIDEOS]
If you missed it, we got you covered…
Thursday
The weekend jumped off early with Rickey Smiley and the crew broadcasting live on Fountain Square. The energy was right. A crowd gathered well before sunrise, and by 6 a.m., the Square was already packed.
That night, it was all about the culture. The 'Celebration of Hip-Hop' at the Andrew J. Brady Music Center brought heat to the stage with Young MC, Sugarhill Gang & The Furious Five, Scarface, and Goodie Mob. It was a true ode to the genre and era that laid the foundation for so much of today's sound.
Friday
Another early morning on Fountain Square for the Rickey Smiley Morning Show but Friday hit different. It was 91 degrees by 7 a.m. and still, people showed up ready. Why? Ice Cube pulled up. He surprised the crowd, and then casually performed 'It Was a Good Day' and 'You Can Do It.' Totally unplanned.
Friday night back inside Paycor Stadium, The Zapp Band featuring Dreion brought the funk. PJ Morton and Anthony Hamilton gave us the soul. Then Jazmine Sullivan hit the stage, for her first Cincy performance in over a decade, and let everybody have it. 'Lions, Tigers, and Bears.' 'Girl Like Me.' 'Pick Up Your Feelings.' She took the stadium to CHUCH (yes it's spelled right), I almost threw a shoe.
Earth, Wind & Fire had every section up out their seats and moving. They ran through decades of hits, the kind you grew up on. Only two of the original members were present, but that didn't stop them from delivering a 10/10 experience. You couldn't tell anybody in that stadium that it wasn't 1979 again.
Saturday
Saturday afternoon was busy on all fronts. Over at the Heritage Bank Center, Ice Cube's BIG3: Summer in the City game tipped off at 1 p.m. The roster was stacked: Dwight Howard, Jeff Ayers, Lance Stephenson, and more. Coaching legends like Nancy Lieberman, Gary Payton, and Julius Erving were locked in courtside. Halftime brought performances by DJ Paul of Three 6 Mafia and Cincinnati's own Skylar Blatt.
Saturday night at the stadium had no skips, almost. 112. The Bar-Kays. Lucky Daye. All came with high energy for the final night. Then the queen herself, Toni Braxton, glided on stage in a sizzling red fit and gave us everything from 'He Wasn't Man Enough', 'Please', and 'Just Be a Man About It.' She took a pause to honor her late sister Traci Braxton, then wrapped with an unforgettable performance of 'Unbreak My Heart'.
Just as LL Cool J took the stage, the weather pulled a stunt. A lightning warning hit mid-show and the crowd was asked to shelter in the concourse. Many thought that was the end of the night, but it was only a short delay. About 45 minutes later, Uncle L was back with 'Luv U Better', 'I Need Love', and 'Mama Said Knock You Out.'
Then the plot twist of the weekend… REV RUN joined him on stage. The entire stadium went up in flames, because who would've thunk it?!

The finale rolled right into a tribute to Frankie Beverly, featuring original Maze member Roame Lowry and guitarist JuBu Smith.
Joe opened the tribute with 'Can't Get Over You.' Maze founder Roame Lowry followed up with heartfelt words and the origin story about Maze.
After 7 and Raheem DeVaughn continued the salute, then in walked Mr. Bigg himself— Ronald Isley. Dressed in crispy all white and backed by JuBu, the Lincoln Heights legend delivered a smooth, joyful version of 'Golden Time of Day.' A perfect full-circle moment to end a stacked weekend.

Amazon's New ‘War of the Worlds' Features a Head-Scratching Twist
Even before War of the Worlds entered the public domain a decade ago, H.G. Wells' alien-invasion tale had been adapted over and over. Steven Spielberg's 2005 movie is probably the best-remembered cinematic version, though Orson Welles' 1938 radio broadcast, said to have sparked panic among more gullible listeners, is still the most famous. A new version has arrived this week, directed by Rich Lee (making his feature debut after many music videos and commercials) and starring Ice Cube. Set very much in the present day, it digs into themes of surveillance in ways that are intriguing… until it makes a wildly ironic Cube plays Will Radford, a domestic terror analyst for the Department of Homeland Security. His job basically involves monitoring surveillance feeds that keep a watchful eye on crucial Washington, DC, targets (the Pentagon, the White House, airports, etc.) and occasionally tracking down hackers intent on looting government data—or preventing them from disseminating said data, as the case may be. This version of War of the Worlds takes place completely on screens—similar to the 2018 thriller Searching—so we watch Will from a webcam POV and we also see everything he looks at: Zoom and WhatsApp calls, text messages, social media feeds, streaming news reports, and so on. It takes only minutes to see Will exploit his high-level security clearance and tech savvy to keep tabs on his two adult children, especially Faith, his pregnant daughter. He's less worried about Dave, his video game-playing son, but he's literally got a way to peep inside Faith's fridge to make sure she's keeping her nutrition on track. Intrusive? Yes. Creepy? Definitely. But War of the Worlds isn't about cyberstalking your kids; it's about an alien invasion, and Will is on the front lines (well, while seated at his desk) when a mysterious meteor shower turns into battle-ready tripods making their presence felt on Earth. We follow along as Will clicks around, realizing in real time what's happening and using his extraordinary access to check on his loved ones. (At one point he remotely hacks a Tesla so that Faith can get to a hospital.) He's also drawn into the official response—including Eva Longoria, representing NASA, and Clark Gregg as the DHS director—as the government scrambles to make sense of the situation and plan its response. It's a reasonably fresh way to approach Wells' familiar story, which has inspired many, many similar stories after its publication back in the 1890s. But the movie's script (by Kenneth A. Golde and Marc Hyman) makes some choices that would feel off-putting even if this War of the Worlds wasn't brought to you by Amazon Prime Video. Amazon is called out by name early on; Dave sighs that his dad's job is 'spying on what's in people's Amazon carts,' and that turn of phrase comes back around a few times. Notice that it doesn't say anything about Amazon's own desire to collect information about its customers—but that can't help but loom in the viewer's mind, especially as Will begins to realize the aliens have come to Earth specifically to feast on the planet's vast data stores. As the invaders slurp down the planet's data—financial records are drained, GPS systems fail, and even Will's Facebook page paying tribute to his late wife disappears—it becomes clear that their real target is a top-secret, highly powerful surveillance network launched despite the government's knowledge (cut to X-Files-style documents and vintage photos) that such a move would be akin to 'ringing a dinner bell' for the tech-hungry ETs. Naturally, Will and his family (it turns out his son is a genius hacker, and his daughter is a genius biologist) come up with a plan to save the world—but they also need the help of Faith's boyfriend, Mark, who is… an Amazon driver. When Will has a sudden, desperate, ticking-clock need of a thumb drive, Mark is able to power up an Amazon drone and fly it to him—but only after Will places 'an official order on Amazon to activate the drone,' a process we all get to see as if we don't know exactly what it looks like. Add to cart! If that wasn't enough, Amazon has humanity's back yet again when the drone crashes and requires a manual assist to flip it right-side-up. The only person on the crumbling streets is… an unhoused man, who emerges from the safety of his tent to perform the deed after Faith, who's triangulated his cell phone number, bribes him with a $1,000 Amazon gift card. He accepts these terms after turning down a year of free internet from the government, because he figures that's just asking Big Brother to spy on him. Because that's not what Amazon essentially does to its customers? 'There's more important things to do than worry about what's in people's Amazon carts,' Will declares at the end of War of the Worlds, which wraps up very tidily despite the hideous destruction we've just seen unfold on a global scale. The strategic determination to keep Amazon's hands clean in a movie about the dangers of rampant online privacy violations is actually impressive. Making Amazon one of its heroes, however, is downright dystopian. Want more io9 news?

The 2025 Cincinnati Music Festival (CMF) was a full-on takeover this year. Live broadcasts, surprise performances, emotional tributes, legends— you name it *Shirley Caesar voice*!

Angel Reese Dealt 'Brutal Truth' In Rivalry With Caitlin Clark
Angel Reese Dealt 'Brutal Truth' In Rivalry With Caitlin Clark originally appeared on The Spun. Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark have been rivals dating back to their time at the college basketball level. Reese, starring at LSU, and Clark, starring at Iowa, twice faced off in the NCAA Tournament. Reese and the Tigers topped Clark and the Hawkeyes in the 2023 national championship game. Clark and the Hawkeyes got revenge in the Elite Eight in 2024. The two have since become two of the biggest stars in the WNBA, with Reese starring for the Chicago Sky and Clark starring for the Indiana Fever. While Clark has been getting a lot of credit for the WNBA's growth, Reese has made it clear that she believes she deserves a lot of credit, too. "People are talking about women's basketball, you never would think they'd be talking about women's basketball," Reese said in 2024. "People are pulling up to games. We got celebrities coming to games and sold-out arenas just because of one single game. Just looking at that, I'll take that role. I'll take the bad guy role, and I'll continue to take that on and be that for my teammates. I know I'll go down in history. I'll look back in 20 years and be like, the reason why we're watching women's basketball is not just because of one person. It's because of me, too. I want y'all to realize that." But while that might be true to an extent, Ice Cube recently made it clear that when it comes to people being interested in Clark or Reese, there's not much of a debate. Ice Cube, who offered Caitlin Clark $5 million to play in his BIG3 League, admitted that when he spoke to investors and advertisers, there wasn't much of a debate between Clark and Reese. The league's sponsors suggested that Clark, not Reese, would make the biggest impact. While an offer was made to Clark, no such offer was made to Reese. 'They didn't tell us the same thing about Angel Reese,' Cube informed TMZ Sports. 'I don't know if we can make that same offer.' Ice Cube added the door has probably been closed on Clark. Meanwhile, it never seemed to open for Reese. Angel Reese Dealt 'Brutal Truth' In Rivalry With Caitlin Clark first appeared on The Spun on Jul 28, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Jul 28, 2025, where it first appeared.
