Bob Dylan leaves gig-goers in stitches as they spot band arriving to gig in unique way
An odd arrival for Bob Dylan's band at a recent gig has left audience members in stitches. The veteran performer is continuing on the Outlaw Music Festival tour in the United States, and his recent appearance in New York has startled some attendees. The Duluth-born songwriter spent his formative years in New York, and returned for a performance yesterday (August 1).
Whether it was Dylan, who is set to perform in the UK later this year, or long-serving bandmate and bass guitarist Tony Garnier was up for debate in a thread posted to X, where fans were delighted by the abnormal transport choice. The original post to X reads: "BOB IN A BOAT."
A zoomed-in video was shared to the social media platform, with a man in black attire and wearing a hat seen boarding the vessel, which headed straight for the stage.
Dylan's performance in Wantagh, New York, was hosted near the coast and it seems travelling to and from the stage required a change from the usual tour bus.
Instead, a boat brought the artists to the stage, and people believe they spotted Dylan, or one of his bandmates, on the way to the show. Fans were delighted to see the clip, with one writing: "Brings me so much joy to see Bob in a boat. Thank you."
Another added: "Yes, I saw that! Yes, he was with Tony headed to the stage at Jones Beach. Great show!" A third shared: "Oh my God, I hope he's having fun."
Others were left wondering if it was Dylan's long-time collaborator, Tony Garnier, headed to the stage. One fan wrote: "Could be Tony."
Another added: "Guy in the hat is definitely Tony Garnier, I saw another video of them getting off the boat and bob is in a white hoodie."
Those who attended the show were full of praise for Dylan's performance, with the veteran songwriter performing a handful of covers and hits from his discography.
One attendee took to the r/BobDylan Reddit page and confirmed he and another audience member took turns with a pair of binoculars so they could see the stage.
They wrote: "My microscopic view of Dylan tonight at Jones Beach. Thank you to the person beside me for sharing binoculars so I could see him.
"What a night. I was absolutely floored by how amazing he sounds live, and by how ethereal his presence is. Also thoroughly enjoyed Lucinda, Wilco and Willie Nelson, won't forget this day anytime soon.
"The energy of the crowd and performances were just top notch, I think it helped that the weather was really nice and cool today. And yeah, I was a bit sceptical about how Dylan might sound but he blew me away."

Love Island fans uncover villa girl's gameplan as they say ‘she's not into him at all' about love interest
LOVE Island fans have become convinced that one couple are set to split after leaving the villa – after picking up on the girl's 'gameplan'. With the series finale coming tomorrow, the last few days of the villa have seen the islanders begin to lock down their romances. 6 6 But after Ty asked Angel if they could 'go exclusive' – essentially making them boyfriend/girlfriend in all but name – her reaction has left viewers believing there's doubt in place for Angel. Throw in differing lifestyles, and some are thinking that they could already be on the way out. A Reddit poster explained: 'Hear me out. Angel is a fairly big Instagram influencer, who if you look at her instagram seems to be all about the boujee life. 'Her entire feed is her hanging with super stunning models all with huge followings on yachts in Spain, ski trips in the French Alps, constant trips to Dubai and seems to be living a pretty expensive glamorous life.' 'Ty is a sweetheart but does seem just like a genuine working class guy from a normal background,' they added. 'Absolutely nothing wrong with that, I just find it hard to believe this is the type of guy Angel is genuinely interested in with the lifestyle she projects on Instagram.' They added that 'girls who live that lifestyle seem to often be looking for a certain type of man', and continued: 'Last night's episode was when I really noticed it most. 'There is a certain distance in the way she connects with him, especially when he asked her to go exclusive, everything is just kind of wafty and airy in her voice and doesn't seem real or passionate about anything he has to say.' 'I believe she is a huge game player like Dejon but isn't as dumb as him to make it so obvious to those in the villa or the public,' they concluded, saying she "goes with the flow and doesn't cause drama", allowing Angel to skirt through. Other posters quickly picked up on the moment, and agreed that something about Angel and Ty's romance didn't feel authentic. 'Not gonna lie, I don't buy Angel's act at all. She was definitely eyeing up Harry from the jump, but obviously wanted to secure a spot in Meg's little 'mother hen' squad for that protection,' replied one. 'And because she rocked up late, she just clung to Ty as a safe bet. 'Get her out' rant Love Island fans as they call for 'sly' star to be kicked off the show 'Half the stuff Angel says is just silly, like she's trying to be something, but ends up being absolutely nothing.' 'I thought she liked him up until last night, when he asked her to go exclusive,' agreed a second. 'Like you said her reaction was very wishy washy. 'However in saying that they are quite fresh, so maybe she was just taken aback by how soon it was. 'Ty was also really her only option, and it just so happened he was single at the time.' 'When they leave the villa, he'll be in the influencer lifestyle too so I think they'll last whilst they're riding the fame, and whilst they're all in London constantly for events and interviews and stuff,' noted a third. 'And when the love island 2025 hype dies down, those break up statements will be out on instagram 😂' Others commented on the fact that she claimed that distance would be an issue for them as they start their relationship – asking 'why that was an issue when she travels the world but can travel 150 miles to Barnsley' where Ty's based. Ty and Angel are within breathing distance of the finish line, with the finale airing tomorrow night and a new winning couple being crowned. However, their position in the finale isn't secured just yet, with one last shock dumping set to rock the villa in scenes set to air tonight. The remaining couples still in the villa are: Ty and Angel, Meg and Dejon, Toni and Cach, Shakira and Harry, and Yasmin and Jamie. Who will be our top four for this year? Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2. 6 6 6

Loyal ITV2 viewers took to social media as they revealed the exact moment the girls started to turn on each other. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 7 Viewers think they have cracked the code behind the issue of the girl group divide in the villa Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 7 Fans think the feud started all the way back in episode two of the 2025 series Credit: Shutterstock Editorial In recent scenes on the long-running dating show, we saw the departure of Helena Ford and Blu Chegini. Conor Phillips and Megan Forte-Clarke were also dumped from Love Island, just days before the grand finale. This may have signalled the end of the highly-publicised villa divide between the girls. Millions of viewers have watched the likes of Toni Laites and Shakira Khan clash with Helena and Meg Moore. Things got especially heated when Harry Cooksley's head was turned back to Shakira after he made his partnership with Helena 'exclusive'. But one viewer noticed that the divide came about a long time before the infamous Grafties ceremony. On fan forum platform Reddit, one informed fan noticed that the girls were splitting in the villa all the way back in episode two of the 2025 series. A throwback clip posted on the platform, in a thread titled 'Episode 2- the start of the divide'. In the video, Shakira made a new best friend in Toni after her bombshell arrival and the duo gossiped together by the firepit. This was as Alima Gagigo, Sophie Lee, Megan, Helena, and Meg were all sitting together in a separate part of the villa. Watch as girls go head-to-head in furious Love Island clash and vow NEVER to speak outside the villa Shakira told the Las Vegas cabana server that she felt like she was judged from the rest of the girls for chatting with so many of the boys so early on. She remarked: "I'm not joking, getting ready then the vibes felt so off. "So it's not enough to like pick up on and say something about because it's nothing that is being said, but it's the energy. Toni replied: "You know everyone is interested in you." Then Shakira stated: "I've been grafting, but I feel like the girls don't appreciate that. "But equally what's stopping them from doing the same thing? We've all been here [only] a day. She added: "Like, I think I have a right to get to know everybody." Meanwhile in the separate sofa area, Meg remarked: "The problem is, thinking of what Maya said last night, I think it is in Shakira's court. It's not enough to like pick up on and say something about because it's nothing that is being said, but it's the energy Skaira Khan "That's why she's been grafting her f****** a*** off today." To which Helena sarcastically responded: "I think she fancies everyone doesn't she?" She jokingly added: "She probably fancies the plants!" Captioning the preview, the fan wrote: "Is this when the 'bullying' started? LOVE ISLAND 2025 - ALL the dumped stars so far LOVE Island 2025 is in its penultimate week. Here are all the dumped Islanders so far ... Sophie Lee Blu Chegini (has since returned) Malisha Jordan Will Means Shea Mannings Poppy Harrison Caprice Alexandra Megan Clarke (has since returned) Remell Mullins Ryan Bannister Alima Gagigo Martin Enitan Chris Middleton Yas Broom Rheo Parnel Giorgio Russo Emily Moran Andrada Pop Ben Holbrough Tommy Bradley Lucy Quinn Lauren Wood Harrison Solomon (quit) Emma Munro Boris Vidovic Billykiss Azeez Blu Chegini (dumped again) Helena Ford Megan Clarke (dumped again) Conor Phillips "This was only episode two and watch how they treat Shakira." In the captions below, fans seemed to concur that this was the moment the villa divide started. One fan posted: "Yep the twist of Shakira being single and having to graft the boys to stay def started the divide." While a second added: "I'm no Shakira-Harry fan, but as a guy, it always came across to me that jealousy was a primary motivator in those in the villa that disliked her." 7 As the girls all sat together, Shakira and Toni chatted by the fire pit Credit: ITV2 7 Shakira said the vibe between all the girls was 'off' Credit: ITV2 7 Helena made a cutting remark about Shakira in the second episode Credit: ITV2 7 Megan Forte Clarke giggled away as Helena and Meg both gave their opinions Credit: ITV2 7 Toni seemed to pick up on the energy after Shakira made her remarks Credit: Shutterstock Editorial Love Island continues on ITV2 and is available to stream on ITVX.

‘Horrendous' Prime Video movie starring famous rapper dubbed 'new level of bad'
A new sci-fi thriller starring an A-list rapper has been slammed by fans after its release on Prime Video this week Prime Video subscribers are claiming a new science fiction thriller based on one of the most iconic novels of all time could be one of the worst movies ever made. The streaming platform has seen plenty of success with its new and returning titles this year, from action-packed films G20 and Heads of State to hit series We Were Liars and the return of The Summer I Turned Pretty. Unfortunately, their latest release has completely slipped under most viewers' radars this week. Its lack of attention seems to be for good reason though, as War of the Worlds, starring Ice Cube in the lead role, has been universally panned by critics and viewers. The reimagining of HG Wells' influential alien invasion novel received a tragic 0 percent critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, not faring much better with audiences, who awarded it a mere 11 percent. This version of the classic sci-fi thriller features the famous rapper as a cyber-security analyst for Homeland Security and takes inspiration from recent 'screenlife' films, which take place entirely on computer and smartphone screens. However, this fresh take on a fan-favourite novel has caught significant backlash from those who had the misfortune of tuning in this weekend. One Reddit user claims the film is 'on another level of bad'. To which someone replied: 'I honestly think this may be one of the worst movies I've ever seen. 'Sure there are plenty of movies that fail in every possible way and end up a nonsensical mess. 'But even those have a certain charm and a certain level of effort behind them. This movie is the absolute laziest movie I've ever seen, and it's so blatant about it.' Another user gave a damning verdict: 'A friend of mine, who likes just about everything, even new Marvel c***, hated this movie. It must be REALLY bad if that man was struggling to find anything positive to say about it at all.' Over on another thread, one viewer said War of the Worlds could be the 'worst movie of all time'. 'How they let this movie come out is beyond me,' they lamented. 'Have to assume Eva Longoria and Ice Cube must have got PAIDDDD to be in this AI junk. Didn't think we could see worse than the weekend's movie but here it is!' 'One of the most atrocious movies I've ever seen,' someone else remarked. While a Letterboxd reviewer gave it a scathing half a star, declaring: 'Not a fan of being hyperbolic but arguably one of the worse movies to be released/distributed by a major platform in the last 5 years.' Is War of the Worlds so bad it's good or simply terrible on every level? And is anyone brave enough to watch the whole thing to find out? War of the Worlds is available to stream on Prime Video.
