Boots & Brews boot scoots into Irvine
If you weren't able to rope tickets to Stagecoach this year, don't put your cowboy boots away just yet. Another country music festival is making its way to Orange County's backyard, as Boots & Brews comes to Great Park Live in Irvine on April 11.
The premier outdoor concert event brings live country music to venues across California and this year will be the first time the show has boot-scooted to Orange County.
'Boots & Brews was born in Ventura County in 2012,' said Vincenzo Giammanco, chief executive officer at CBF Productions, which produces the event. 'Since then, we now travel and do it at a bunch of different cities. We still do it in Ventura, Morgan Hill, Santa Clarita and now Irvine.'
Country music singer Jake Owen, who has had 10 hits make the No. 1 spot on the US country charts, including 'Beachin'' and 'Barefoot Blue Jean Night' will headline, with Jerrod Niemann and RaeLynn also on the bill. Locally produced beers will be on tap along with cocktails and mocktails and attendees can look forward to a Western-themed vendor market with gear like cowboy boots and cowboy hats. A honky-tonk area will be dedicated to line dancing too, for guests of all abilities.
Giammanco said he has been hoping to bring the festival to Orange County since its inception and was thrilled when the opportunity finally presented itself.
'A lot of times when we produce this show, a majority of our attendees are from the O.C.,' said Giammanco. 'When I found Great Park Live, which is new pop-up amphitheater, it intrigued me and when I went out there and did a tour, I knew it was perfect. You have beautiful grass, a beautiful stage and great weather.'
Great Park Live is a temporary live music venue that opened last summer to replace the FivePoint Amphitheater, which closed in October 2023. Positioned in a corner of the Great Park Sports Complex, the outdoor live entertainment space has served as a summer concert venue for Pacific Symphony concerts and other live events, while the city of Irvine works to develop a more permanent amphitheater facility.
Boots & Brews will be the first big show of the season for Great Park Live and Giammanco hopes it won't be the last time the festival comes to Orange County. He is looking forward to providing a memorable experience for country fans.
'When the headliner hits the stage and the lights go out and the place just goes absolutely nuts, you are seeing people singing the songs and you are seeing couples holding each other and sharing a moment; knowing that we helped create the atmosphere for those moments they'll remember for the rest of their lives is amazing.'
Tickets for Boots & Brews start at $59.99 for general admission and $149.99 for the VIP Lounge. There are also party packs that offer tickets at a discounted price when you purchase four or more, and private cabana experiences too. For details on tickets visit bootsandbrews.com

19 Gel Nail Ideas for June That Put Us In a Summer State of Mind
Gel nails are a summer staple for any beauty lover. With more time spent swimming, gardening, going on vacation, and simply enjoying the outdoors, having a durable and long-lasting manicure is essential this time of year, and that's exactly what you'll get with gel nails (we're talking manis that last 10 to 14 days). Now that June is finally here, it's time to start thinking about the fun summer gel manis we all want to try. From colorful French tips to seaside- and floral-inspired designs, we can officially break out the bright colors and elaborate seasonal nail art. Ahead, our 19 favorite gel nail ideas for June that are perfect for summery days ahead. There's nothing like golden hour in the summer months. Bring a touch of gold to your nails with this multi-finish mani. Get a color-blocking effect with this bright and sunny nail art design. We're envisioning sitting by the pool with a cold drink in hand, showing off this stunning mani. Come June, flowers are on full display. It seems only right to have a manicure to match. Wear your favorite flower on each nail for a totally custom mani. Who said brown nail polishes are only for autumn? This Western-inspired design with French tips is perfect for outdoorsy summer nights, whether you're at the rodeo or just looking for a mani that matches everything. Neons and summer go hand-in-hand. Take a slightly different approach by incorporating all your favorite neon colors across your nails for a rainbow-like effect. Turquoise, pink, and flowers—can it get more summery than that? This June, try an out-of-the-box seaside-inspired mani like this one. We're dreaming of taking these nails on a Caribbean vacation. Citrus fruits, sunsets, marigolds, and more—all summery orange things we love. Add this dewdrop mani to the list. Aura nails will forever be one of our favorite simple yet show-stopping nail art ideas.

Get the nails to match. This beautiful ombré gradient flows seamlessly from pink to yellow. Use builder gel and rhinestones to create this mix-and-match floral manicure. The nails' long, stiletto shape makes this blooming set look extra eye-catching. Tomato girl summer, coquette bows, and strawberries pretty much sum up peak girlhood lately. Give your manicure a feminine touch by adding these girly additions to each nail. Dress up what is an otherwise simple nude manicure with silver foil detailing. Experiment with your favorite summer shades to create a seasonally inspired, customized manicure that's just for you. With trends like aura nails and French tips all the rage, incorporate your go-to nail art for this unique manicure. A baby blue French manicure with florals is perfect for June, right when we're transitioning from spring to summer. Add rhinestones to zhuzh things up. No one was ever the same after Hailey Bieber first debuted her glazed donut nails. They take on a different life with this emerald green base. Paint your nails with your dark green gel polish, and after curing, wipe chrome powder on top of each nail to get the effect. Set your fingertips ablaze with red flames. The fiery red designs contrast with the pink and blue base, adding a touch of flair (ahem, flare) to the manicure. Cat-eye nail designs have become popular in every shade and design, including these muted colors. Apply a cat-eye magnetic gel polish, then create the swirls by hovering a magnet above the nails in a circular motion. There's something alien-esque about these pink nails with silver chrome detailing. If you're not a pink person, use any other color for your base (just make sure the silver will still pop!). Jelly nails for summer? Yes please. Paint them a Barbie pink color for ultimate summer vibes. Read the original article on Byrdie

Tommy Wirkola Returning to Direct ‘Violent Night 2' (Exclusive)
Tommy Wirkola is back in the sleigh for Violent Night 2, the sequel to its Christmas-themed action movie released in 2022, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter. The studio on Wednesday dated the sequel for a Dec. 4, 2026 unwrapping. More from The Hollywood Reporter 'Street Fighter' Movie Removed From Calendar as Phoebe Dynevor Shark Thriller Moves Back a Year Phoebe Dynevor Shark Thriller From Tommy Wirkola Gets Title and Summer 2025 Release Tommy Wirkola on Going From Nazi Zombies in 'Dead Snow' to Singing Semen in 'Spermageddon' David Harbour is back as the icepick-stabbing, skate-slashing Santa Claus, who in the first movie was a bitter drunk headed towards turning back on the holiday until a little girl shows him the light. It's unclear if his lucidity will remain intact for the second outing. Also unclear is if the new story will include Mrs. Claus, briefly mention in the first movie. Universal is eying a September start of production in Winnipeg. Kelly McCormick and David Leitch of 87North are back as producers as are screenwriting team Pat Casey and Josh Miller. Violent Night proved to be a solid hit, gifting the studio a $50 million domestic haul on a budget of around $20 million. It took in an additional $25.9 million from international markets. Wirkola's previous credits include the Norwegian horror hit Dead Snow and relationship action comedy The Trip. In 2022, the filmmaker told The Hollywood Reporter he and the writers were already talking of a sequel that could incorporate ideas they couldn't fit into the first movie. 'We don't see the North Pole, we don't see Mrs. Claus and we don't see the elves,' Wirkola said. 'There were also a few ideas that we loved in the script, but we had to cut them because we couldn't afford to shoot them.' Wirkola is repped by CAA and Untitled Entertainment.
