Lady Gaga Sets Record for Highest Attended Concert by Female Artist with Copacabana Beach Show
The post Lady Gaga Sets Record for Highest Attended Concert by Female Artist with Copacabana Beach Show appeared first on Consequence.
Lady Gaga made history with her concert at Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil on Saturday night. With an estimated 2.5 million fans in attendance, the singer set a new mark for the highest attended concert by a female artist in history.
Dubbed 'Mayhem on the Beach,' the free concert was part of Brasil's Todo Mundo no Rio initiative, which aims to transform Copacabana Beach into a premier stage for major international music events. Gaga's appearance transpired due to Madonna's own 2024 performance at the venue, which previously held the record for the largest concert by a female artist, drawing an estimated 1.6 million attendees. Gaga easily topped Madge's crowd, drawing 2.5 million attendees, according to promoters on the ground.

At the show, Gaga herself acknowledged the magnitude of the evening. 'Your spirit may be heard around the world tonight. 2.5 million people!' she said onstage. Later in the night, she added, 'Tonight, we're making history. Thank you for making history with me… The people of Brasil are the reason why I can shine.'
The show also marked Gaga's first time performing in Brasil since her 'Born This Way Ball' tour in 2012. She was previously forced to cancel a 2017 appearance at Rock in Rio after being hospitalized for severe pain. Find our full recap of the show here.
With this show, her recent Mexican dates, and her headlining slot at Coachella 2025 all under her belt, Gaga will continue with her 'Mayhem Ball' tour, which will officially kick off on July 16th in Las Vegas, followed by dates in Los Angeles, Seattle, New York, and across Europe. Get tickets here.

Martin Scorsese No Longer Watches Movies in Theaters Due to Audiences Behaving Badly
The post Martin Scorsese No Longer Watches Movies in Theaters Due to Audiences Behaving Badly appeared first on Consequence. In hardly shocking news, Martin Scorsese has said he no longer watches movies in public theaters anymore. On Peter Travers' recently launched blog, the film critic recalled a conversation he once had with the director about the inconsiderate behavior of fellow theatergoers. Referring back to their discussion, Travers wrote, 'I asked the maestro why he doesn't see movies in theaters anymore and he went all raging bull about audiences who babble on phones during the movie, leave to order snacks and vats of soda, and keep up a noise level loud enough to drown out the actors.' Travers retorted by pointing out how 'we couldn't keep our mouths shut when we were kids.' In response, Scorsese said, 'Yeah, maybe, but when we talked it was always about the movie and the fun we had chewing over the details.' It's unclear when Travers and Scorsese had this conversation, but this year's The Minecraft Movie became notorious for its rowdy audience participation.

Sabrina Carpenter Hitchhikes Through Mayhem in 'Manchild' Music Video: Watch
The post Sabrina Carpenter Hitchhikes Through Mayhem in 'Manchild' Music Video: Watch appeared first on Consequence. Sabrina Carpenter has revealed the official music video for her new song, 'Manchild.' Directed by Vania Heymann and Gal Muggia, the video takes place primarily on the road in the American west. It finds Carpenter hitchhiking and ending up in a variety of scenes and situations ranging from the mundane to the absurd, with dozens of different costumes and looks to match. Get Sabrina Carpenter Tickets Here Throughout, Carpenter ends up in (or around) multiple different vehicles (like a jetski-converted car, an electric mobile chair, a shopping cart sidecar, and a car with trees growing on top), shoots pool with a shotgun, runs with a puppy from gunfire, smokes a cigarette at a gas station while her driver douses himself in gasoline, hitches a ride by roller skating and grabbing onto a massive truck, takes a bubble path with two pigs, and gets in all sorts of crazy spats with the men she encounters on the road. When it ends, she ditches her ride, sticks her thumb back up, and grabs the next available vehicle. Watch the official video below. Carpenter's 'Manchild' arrives as a standalone single after the deluxe release of her 2024 album Short n' Sweet arrived in February. The single is being pressed on a clear transparent 7-inch vinyl along with a B-side called 'inside of your head when you've just won an argument with a man.' She teased both the single and its music video earlier this week, posting a short clip of her hitchhiking with the caption, 'this one's about you!!' Carpenter is also heading on tour this summer and fall, with headlining sets to come at Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, and this weekend's Primavera Sound.

The post GWAR Unleash New Single 'The Great Circus Train Disaster': Stream appeared first on Consequence. The intergalactic barbarians known as GWAR have unleashed a new single titled 'The Great Circus Train Disaster.' The song appears on the band's upcoming multimedia release, The Return of Gor Gor, set to arrive July 25 via Pit Records and Z2 Comics.

Get GWAR Tickets Here Guitarist Grodius Maximus stated of the new track, 'The song just kinda came to us one day while we were all hanging out injecting ketamine and crushed-up insects into our dick holes. We were fucked up for days as we experienced hallucinations of charred clown bodies, lobster people impaled on stalagmites, and the unholy image of our pet baby dinosaur being whored out as sexual meat to a greasy mass of scabies encrusted republicans and greased up catholic priests. When we came to, the song was fully formed. All we had to do was hit record and BOOM…'The Great Circus Train Disaster' was born.' He continued, 'Now, MTV and Def Jam Recordings are knocking down our door. Charlie XCX, Slipknot, and Garth Brooks all want to collaborate with us, and to be honest, this type of success is just a bit overwhelming. Yeah, we get it. We're amazing songwriters… Deal with it!' The new single and upcoming album are all part of GWAR's 40th anniversary celebration, which includes a current North American tour that runs through a June 21st show in Pelham, Tennessee.
