Liam Gallagher Has Joined the Oasis Rehearsals and Confirms That Reunited Band Sounds ‘F–king FILTHY'
And on Tuesday morning (June 3), singer Liam weighed in and gave a very positive assessment of how things are going. 'We have LIFT OFF Rastas sounded f–king FILTHY,' he wrote on X. 'I'll tell thee that there for hardly anything.' When a fan asked if he was nervous to step to the mic, the singer brushed off the question, responding 'Dont be ridiculous.'

Here's What Fans Think of SiR Claiming Drake Had His 2024 Toronto Show Canceled
When another commenter wondered 'did you sound amazing?,' the cheeky vocalist said, 'Cmon,' telling a different fan that rehearsing with the band again was 'SPIRITUAL' and that rehearsals so far were 'BIBLICAL.' Not one to get misty about much, Gallagher told an inquiring mind who wanted to know if it was 'emotional playing with everyone' for the first time in 16 years, 'no time to get emotional we have a lot of catching up to do.'
By Wednesday morning (June 4), Gallagher was already seemingly getting a bit punchy, inexplicably posting 'MOISTIFICATION for the NATION,' and replying to a question about his 'greatest asset' with the blunt 'My arse.' A follow-up query about how many songs the band rehearsed the day before got the answer '69.'
So far, the band is planning to spend most of July in the U.K. before jumping over to North America in August for shows in Toronto, Chicago, New Jersey, Pasadena and Mexico City, then hitting Asia and Australia in the fall and winding down with shows in Argentina, Chile and Brazil in November.
For now, there are no festival dates or non-headlining shows, but a persistent fan asked Liam if it's possible that Oasis would make a triumphant return to the Knebworth Festival, where they played to more than 250,000 fans over two nights in 1996. 'Let's see how this tour goes if we still love each other after it,' Liam replied.
And while there is some trepidation that the internal strife that split the family band up in 2009 might rear its ugly head again, when a fan wondered if Tuesday's rehearsal made it feel like the band had 'never split up,' Gallagher affirmed, 'Yeah like it never happened very spiritual.'
Some things never change, though. 'How many hours do you rehearse every day,' one commenter wondered. 'I do the set once then I scarper,' Liam said.
So far, longtime bassist Andy Bell has confirmed that he's back in the band for the tour and a March report suggested that the Gallaghers could be joined by former guitarist Gem Archer, as well as Oasis co-founder and rhythm guitarist Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs and drummer Joey Waronker (Beck, R.E.M.). Liam rubbished the report, writing, 'NME tell me who your source pots are that keep giving you info about OASIS and I'll give you an exclusive interview about up n coming OASIS tour. You can have it all but how much do you want it.'

Alex Warren's 'Ordinary' actually is the song of the summer — but nobody wants to admit it
Where is this year's song of the summer? It's the question that's haunted road trippers and pool partiers for months now. But like so many low-stakes mysteries, the answer has been hiding in plain sight (or, in this case, earshot) all along. If we're going with cold, hard facts — Billboard chart data — there's one song that's dominated the airwaves as the weather has warmed. It's just that a soaring love ballad a 24-year-old TikToker wrote about his wife is not exactly the ideal soundtrack for your day at the beach. Released in February, Alex Warren's "Ordinary" took a few months to take off, becoming a bona fide commercial juggernaut by June, when it ascended to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. It's remained atop the all-genre chart for nine weeks so far, and continues to dominate Billboard's Songs of the Summer chart, where it hasn't budged from its No. 1 position since Memorial Day. Though it makes every attempt to sound momentous, "Ordinary" is a love song that's true to its name. Dedicated to Warren's wife, Kouvr Annon, the song uses vaguely spiritual lyrics to describe their connection. His vocals backed by hymnal echoes and a pounding drum line, Warren insists "the angels up in the clouds are jealous" of his marital bliss and compares his wife to a sanctuary, a vineyard, and a sculptor. If the song's theme of divine love wasn't clear enough, the couple also costars in the music video, and Warren later released a "wedding version" of the song paired with footage from their real-life nuptials. That the song is generically gooey has worked to its advantage in the airplay department. "Ordinary" owes much of its longevity to companies like iHeartMedia, America's biggest radio network, which allocates tens of thousands of spins to the song each week. In its most recent week atop the Hot 100, "Ordinary" tallied over 73 million radio airplay audience impressions, according to Billboard, compared to only 12.4 million streams and 6,000 copies sold. The song's lack of specificity also makes it a broadly appealing soundtrack for lovey-dovey moments on TikTok, where both versions of "Ordinary" have been used in millions of videos with billions of cumulative views. Annon's own uses of the song, usually featuring sweet moments with Warren, frequently collect over 1 million likes.

By continuing you agree that you accept the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy . Call it the home court advantage: As a former YouTuber who joined Hype House, a flashy collective for big-name TikTokers, in 2020, Warren learned and then perfected the art of getting engagement. He and Annon briefly lived in the Los Angeles mansion together, constantly creating content, orchestrating David Dobrik-style pranks, and sharing glimpses of their lives together; Warren described the experience as "college, but for social media." "It helped me learn how to create content that resonates with an audience and can captivate people," he told Variety. Warren's self-conscious positioning as America's top new "wife guy" offers the media a tidy narrative to push while reporting on the song's success — and helps cement "Ordinary" as a favorite song choice for romantic montages and relationship content across the internet. But the differential between the song's commercial utility and its artistic value has perplexed critics and fans alike. "Genuinely WHO is listening to this," reads a recent tweet with over 27,000 likes. Even r/popheads, a Reddit community for recreational pop scholars whose self-appointed mission is to take the merits of the genre seriously, is full of cold contempt for the song's dominance. "I don't think you can deeply hate the song by itself," one commenter wrote, "because it's so fucking boring." Rolling Stone's Larisha Paul coined the phrase "'The Voice' Audition Core" to characterize the musical formula that "Ordinary" follows: ideal for soundtracking a throwaway emotional moment on reality TV, but devoid of any real personality. Indeed, Warren performed the song on the "Love Is Blind" season eight reunion special, slotting easily into a generic vision of happily ever after literally accompanied by a montage of couples. genuinely WHO is listening to this — kaitlyn⋆. 𐙚 ˚ (@kateawaycar) August 4, 2025 Still, there's no denying that "Ordinary" is the summer's defining hit. Remaining atop the Hot 100 for over two months is no small feat, and even as late-season challengers have emerged — most recently in the form of a fictional K-pop group from a Netflix film — there isn't enough time before the autumnal equinox for another song to challenge Warren's reign. It's just a shame that many excellent summertime jams actually have been released this year, they just lacked the radio push or market power to challenge "Ordinary" at the top of the charts. Addison Rae is Warren's fellow former TikToker-turned-singer, but the similarities end there; her cool-girl collaborators and creative curiosity resulted in a debut album, "Addison," that toes the line between nostalgic and eccentric. (The appropriately named "Summer Forever" is a standout.) Lorde's latest album, "Virgin," includes gems like "Shapeshifter" and "Favorite Daughter," which wrap arresting lyrics in melodic, highly accessible packages, the ghost of last year's " Brat summer" hovering on the margins. Care for something a little less personal, a little more irreverent? Tinashe and Disco Lines have you covered with the freshly remixed "No Broke Boys." And forget song of the summer, Haim's "Relationships" may be the song of the year. Danielle Haim and her sisters manage to spin the agony of indecision into flippant, funky magic. As the season winds down, a new Taylor Swift album draws closer, and the charts begin to change shape, may "Ordinary" serve as a reminder that summer trends may disappoint or underwhelm — but they never last forever.

Ryan Castro & Grupo Frontera Team Up For ‘Apodo' & More Best New Music Latin
New Music Latin is a compilation of the best new Latin songs and albums recommended by Billboard and Billboard Español editors. Check out this week's picks below. Ryan Castro, Grupo Frontera, 'APODO' (AWOO Corp./Sony Music Latin) More from Billboard Here's What Mariah Carey Really Thinks About the Billboard Charts Friday Music Guide: New Music From Cardi B, Chance The Rapper, Dijon and More Tokischa Is Finally Ready To Release An Album To 'Let It All Out' - And It Won't Be What You Expect On their first collaborative effort, Ryan Castro and Grupo Frontera unwrap 'Apodo' (nickname): Produced by Latin hitmaker Edgar Barrera, and co-written by Barrera, Castro, and Andrés Jael Correa Rios, the song laces Frontera's modern-day norteño melodies around Castro's breezy Caribbean reggae beats. Sonically, the tune is laid-back and fun, but lyrically, it's heart-wrenching, referring to a person who was not loved nor respected in a relationship. 'It doesn't hurt to see you with another man/ it hurts that you gave this love another name/ almost something/ a madness/ a hook-up/ an adventure/ the mistake of your life,' says the catchy but heartbreaking chorus. The music video—showcasing both act's fun vibes and chemistry—was filmed in McAllen, Texas, where Grupo Frontera and Barrera are from. — JESSICA ROIZ Carlos Vives, Grupo Niche, 'La Tierra del Olvido' (Versión Salsa) (Gaira Música Local) The Pacific and the Colombian Caribbean embrace in this salsa version of 'La Tierra del Olvido' (The Land of Oblivion), a Carlos Vives classic that now takes on a new life alongside the legendary Grupo Niche. This profoundly Colombian tribute unites two of the country's most representative genres: Vives' signature vallenato-pop and the Cali salsa that Niche has brought to the world. In the performance, the voices alternate fluidly, and the salsa-inspired arrangement reaches its climax in the musical bridge, as they chant: 'Waiting for you to come back / with me / to the land of oblivion.' The song doesn't need a complex video: it shows Vives and Grupo Niche in the studio, sharing the energy of the recording and performing salsa moves. Also interspersed are images from the original video and a touching nod to maestro Jairo Varela, founder of Niche. — LUISA CALLE Doctor Nativo, 'Caminantes' ft. Roco Pachukote (Stonetree Records) With 'Caminantes,' Doctor Nativo delivers an electrifying mariachi-tinged ska single that bridges borders, histories, and generations. The track, featuring Roco Pachukote (the Maldita Vecindad frontman), pulses with jubilant rhythms and sharp brassy flourishes, paying tribute to Mayan elder Tata Pedro Cruz and his peaceful pilgrimage for world unity. Rooted in Guatemalan spirituality yet enriched by Mexican ska energy, Nativo crafts a vibrant ode to migration, resistance, and ancestral wisdom. It's an upbeat call to leave comfort zones, connect with nature, and walk in solidarity. Produced with dynamic precision, 'Caminantes' teems with both jubilance and mindfulness. A fitting preview of Nativo's forthcoming BarrioKandela, this song celebrates cultural fusion and unwavering hope. It's punchy, spirited, and deeply moving. (Tata Pedro's family and movement will receive a share of proceeds earned from this song.) — ISABELA RAYGOZA Zoé, 'Campo de Fuerza' (Universal Music Group México) Ending a four-year musical drought, Zoé returns with a bang: 'Campo de Fuerza,' the Mexican alt-rock band's first single since its 2021 album Sonidos de Karmática Resonancia, is a reminder of Zoé's ability to craft hypnotic melodies that thrive on a canvas of instrumental atmospheres — alternating between neo-psychedelic-tinged synths and a head-banging drum beat — that instantly transport you to an alternate universe where sound and lyrics come together to enhance your journey. 'Campo' comes on the heels of Zoé's upcoming five sold-out shows at Estadio GNP Seguros in Mexico City, which kick off Sept. 27. — GRISELDA FLORES Zhamira Zambrano, 'Quisiera Ella' (Dynamic Records) Zhamira Zambrano ventures into bolero with 'Quisiera Ella,' a song about resilience and self-love in the face of heartbreak which continues to demonstrate her versatility as a performer. 'She would like you to bring down the sky and the stars for her/ That after the altar you would travel the world/ And that the honeymoon never ends… But that's not possible because you're a lie/ A dream seller with your filthy gift ofgab,' she sings warmly over elegant orchestral arrangements. Accompanied by a cinematic music video in which she plays a waitress unexpectedly called on stage — in which her husband Jay Wheeler makes a special appearance — 'Quisiera Ella' is the third single from the Venezuelan singer's upcoming debut album. — SIGAL RATNER-ARIAS iLe, 'Un Amor de la Calle' (La Buena Fortuna Music) Puerto Rican singer-songwriter iLe delves into a musical genre rooted in her sonic DNA, the bolero, reinventing some of her favorite songs in this style to give them strength and passion. 'Un Amor de la Calle,' the first single from her upcoming album Como Las Canto Yo, is a profound expression of disillusionment and heartbreak. The former Calle 13 member impresses her sensitivity to this piece, originally written by Orlando Brito and popularized in 1975 by the great Héctor Lavoe, giving it new life with her powerful, dramatic voice, accompanied by street guitars and harsh, aggressive chords that captivate the listener. – NATALIA CANO Isabela Merced & Tony Succar, 'Apocalipsis' (Unity Entertainment) Actress and singer Isabela Merced teamed up with Peruvian musician Tonny Succar to release a dynamic new version of her 2020 song 'Apocalipsis.' This revitalized interpretation elevates the original track into a dazzling exhibition of Latin music's rich artistry. The lively anthem blends vibrant salsa rhythms with catchy pop melodies, honoring their shared Peruvian heritage. Succar brings his unique flair to this rendition as he masterfully integrates iconic salsa instrumentation, such as brass and percussion, with modern arrangements that enhance the song's energy and unites two generations. — INGRID FAJARDO Duelo ft. Louie Padilla (La Firma), 'Soy Como No Soy' (La Bonita Music) This new live version of the 2010 hit — recently recorded at Domo Care in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico — brings together two iconic voices of the Tejano norteño: Oscar Iván Treviño, vocalist of the group Duelo, and Louie Padilla, vocalist of the group La Firma and author of the lyrics, which tell the story of a man who doesn't dare confess his love and feels that he's no longer who he was. With the distinctive sound of the accordion, and a rhythmic beat that, from the first chords, invites listeners to dance, 'Soy Como No Soy (En Vivo)' is a gift for fans and proof that the tejano norteño is still relevant for new generations. — TERE AGUILERABest of Billboard Chart Rewind: In 1989, New Kids on the Block Were 'Hangin' Tough' at No. 1 Janet Jackson's Biggest Billboard Hot 100 Hits H.E.R. & Chris Brown 'Come Through' to No. 1 on Adult R&B Airplay Chart Solve the daily Crossword

Lewis Capaldi Recalls Terrifying ‘Mental Episode' That Left Him ‘Convulsing' Backstage Mid-Concert
Lewis Capaldi has come a long way since he started working on his mental health a couple of years ago, with the Scottish singer-songwriter revealing that he once had a 'mental episode' that left him 'convulsing' backstage at a show. While guesting on the Tuesday (July 15) episode of Theo Von's This Past Weekend podcast, Capaldi reflected on the tough moments in his career that forced him to confront the fact that he needed help. The musician made headlines in 2023 when he struggled to get through his Glastonbury set that year, but shortly before that happened, he says he had an incident at a concert in Chicago that was 'even worse.' More from Billboard Lewis Capaldi Performs 'Survive,' Says Glastonbury Return Was 'Best Day of My Life' on 'Tonight Show' Djo Scores First Airplay Chart No. 1 With 'Basic Being Basic' Druski Announces Coulda Fest Tour Featuring BigXthaPlug, Young M.A & Soulja Boy: See the Dates 'I couldn't come back on stage and finish the song,' Capaldi told Von of performing in the Windy City. 'I was like, backstage, convulsing and having this crazy panic attack, mental episode. It was really, really bad. It was the first time people at my shows had seen it.' The musician has been open about dealing with mental health issues as well as Tourette's, a disorder that causes difficult-to-control movements and sounds known as tics. In April 2023, Capaldi revealed that his struggles with Tourette's were becoming so severe, he was considering stepping back from music. After his onstage breakdown at Glastonbury two months later, Capaldi did just that. Immediately after stepping off stage at the festival — where fans had helped him get through his set by loudly singing the words for him — the artist knew it would be his last show until he got some help, he told Von. 'When it happened and when it was happening, it was, like, the lowest moment of my life, and it was horrible,' he recalled on the podcast of Glastonbury 2023. 'I had this moment where I was on stage like two, three songs in. I was like, 'This is the last time I'm going to play a gig for a long time. I need to try and get through the rest of the show, but when I come off, I'm done.'' Capaldi is now back and better than ever before after spending the past two years reconnecting with himself, with the star telling Von that therapy and exercise have helped him immensely. This past June, he made a triumphant return to Glastonbury with a surprise set, shortly after which he announced that he'd be donating 734,000 hours of free virtual therapy with BetterHelp inspired by his own mental health journey. While speaking to Von, he gushed that this year's Glastonbury performance was a 'bit of a comeback moment.' 'It was lovely,' he added. 'It was a really special moment.'
