Knicks stars Jalen Brunson & Josh Hart are bringing the live version of their fan-favorite podcast to Central Park
Knicks stars Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart are bringing The Roommates Show back to Central Park for round two, and if last year's sold-out blowout was any indication, this one's going to be even bigger. Set for Saturday, September 6 at Rumsey Playfield, The Roommates Show Block Party – Live From Central Park, presented by Tommy John, promises an all-star lineup of sports, comedy, music and pure NYC energy. Tickets go on sale this Friday, July 25, at 10am, starting at $79.99.
Hosted by Brunson, Hart and their longtime college roommate Matt Hillman, the live taping will feature surprise appearances from Knicks players and famous fans, plus confirmed guests like Eli Manning and Ben Stiller. Chart-topping artist Ferg will take the stage for a live performance, and fans can expect all the food, drinks and BODYARMOR hydration they can handle.
The podcast-turned-party draws its name and vibe from the trio's real-life roommate bond at Villanova and has become a cult favorite among hoops fans for its hilarious banter and behind-the-scenes look at NBA life. Last year's debut event pulled over 5,000 fans, turning Central Park into a Knicks-loving, beer-sipping, podcast-laughing block party—and this year's edition is leveling up.
Tommy John returns as the presenting partner, offering on-site activations and product giveaways (because who doesn't want premium underwear with their podcast experience?). Other top-tier partners include BODYARMOR and 1800 Tequila, the latter of which will host an after-party and takeover the Friends & Family Deck for VIPs and surprise guests.
'There's no better way to kick off the season than being out in the city with the fans,' said Hart. Brunson added, 'New York showed out last season, and they showed up for us at the Block Party too, so it only made sense to run it back.'

He captioned the snap: "Fake top, real tickets. F****n' mad for it." The Clydebank-born comic was among a whopping 90,000 fans at the iconic venue. And the comedian found himself mingling with a couple of big-name stars. Bridges appeared to have later ditched the 'fake' tour tee and opted for a casual navy t-shirt instead. In a snap shared on social media, the comedian was spotted posing alongside an unrecognisable Mathew Horne, who is best known for playing Gavin in the smash-hit sitcom Gavin and Stacey. Horne, 46, looked worlds away from his Gavin days as he smiled for the camera. Joining the duo was American actor and TV presenter Adam Richman, best known for his foodie adventures on Man v Food. Kev rocked a bucket hat and gave a thumbs up while Horne and Richman kept it cool in baseball caps. Fans flocked to the comments to react to the unexpected trio. Kevin Bridges mercilessly ribs Humza Yousaf over his resignation in new stand-up show One wrote: "What an elite trio". Another said: "This combo was not on my bingo card but can't wait for the Netflix season Gavlar vs Food". A third wrote: "Are you with Kevin Bridges?! Yaaas!"

Tell us: have you seen live music with your family recently?
Ahead of Oasis's reunion shows this year, you could certainly have expected to tick a lot of sights off your bingo card: bucket hats? Check. Wall-to-wall Adidas? Present and correct. Enough lager consumption to fill the Thames? Naturally. Perhaps less anticipated was the prevalence of families at these shows: multigenerational groups spanning from excited kids seeing their first big gigs to aunts, uncles and grandparents who could remember seeing the band back in the 90s. On the first night in Cardiff, one woman told us about attending a show in the city 31 years ago while she was pregnant with her son, now bringing along his own young daughter; another boy was celebrating his 10th birthday there with his dad, who saw the band with his own father when he was a teenager. There have been similar scenes at Pulp's big shows: when they performed to a hometown crowd at Sheffield's Tramlines last week, there was a noteworthy amount of kids word-perfect on their hits (including, entertainingly, Sorted for E's and Wizz). So, we'd like to know: have you been on any mass family outings to see live music recently? Who did you see and how did it go? What memories did the shows stir up? What was the significance of seeing them all together? And what did the kids think? You can share your experience of seeing live music with family using this form.

Specsavers 'reignites Oasis feud' leaving Britpop fans in stitches
Oasis are in the middle of their Live '25 tour, but the Britpop band's feud with Blur has been reignited thanks to a cheeky Specsavers advert outside Wembley Stadium A cheeky billboard advert near Wembley Stadium has thrilled Oasis fans as the band continues their Live '25 tour. The ad, a stone's throw from where Liam and Noel Gallagher are performing in London, has appears to have reignited a nostalgic Britpop rivalry. Britpop, which encapsulates various British bands from the 90s, reached its peak Oasis ' infamous chart battle with another iconic band. Despite that band initially coming out on top, Oasis seems to have had the last laugh with their current sold-out concerts causing quite the sensation. The playful advert poking fun at the feud between the two groups has been shared on TikTok. The video's caption reads: "Not Specsavers putting up 'the OG Blur rivals' ad across from the Oasis gig tonight." The Specsavers advertisement is displayed on a screen directly opposite the venue for Oasis' London performances. Specsavers themselves have cheekily acknowledged their "the original Blur rivals" sign, with a comment on TikTok stating: "We saw an opportunity and we took it." The strategic placement has won over fans, who've been chuckling about it while heading home from the concert. One fan shared: "We were giggling about this on the way to the train." Another praised: "A+ marketing." A third added: "That's genius." However, the person who posted the original TikTok seemed less impressed, writing: "UK people are so weird." The infamous chart battle between Blur and Oasis remains a legendary tale, with the Damon Albarn-led Blur snatching the top spot in 1995 with their hit 'Country House', leaving the Gallagher brothers trailing. Blur's bassist Alex James later reflected on the rivalry, stating: "Blur won the battle, Oasis won the war, then Blur went on to win the whole campaign." In 2023, Blur returned to Wembley for two electrifying shows to celebrate their new album, 'The Ballad of Darren', not to be outdone by fellow Britpop giants Oasis who have also graced the iconic venue. Fellow icon of the era Jarvis Cocker of Pulp was seen at an Oasis gig at Wembley Stadium, while Blur's own Damon Albarn graciously acknowledged Oasis' supremacy in the bands' historic face-off. Albarn conceded: "I think we can officially say that Oasis won the battle, the war, the campaign, everything. They are the winners. They take first place. In the face of such overwhelming evidence, I am happy to accept and concede defeat." Cocker, who had previously joked about scoring a spot on the guestlist for Oasis concerts, has openly criticised the term "Britpop" during an NME interview. He shared: "It felt like a revolution could happen. If people are feeling like that again – that they can make their own thing and it can be taken notice of – then that would be great." He added: "If that kind of attitude is coming back, then I would be very excited about it, just not the 'BP' word – it's a terrible word."
