Fans Think Beyoncé Just Dropped a Major Hint in Her New Ad That ‘Act III' Will Be a Rock Album
Beyoncé is still rocking her Levi's jeans, but fans have reason to suspect that she'll soon trade them in for leather as she gears up to release her highly anticipated 'Act III' album. In a commercial posted Monday (Aug. 4) for Bey's ongoing partnership with the denim company — which sprung from the title of her Cowboy Carter hit 'Levii's Jeans' — the superstar appears as 'The Denim Cowboy,' riding into town on a horse and hustling a group of men at a game of pool. After her opponents drop their pants as penance for losing the game, Bey exits a bar on a motorcycle. More from Billboard Here's Why Fans Think Beyoncé Is Headed for a Rock Era After 'Act II' Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter Tour Wraps as Biggest Country Tour in Billboard Boxscore History Jessica Williams Defends Beyoncé: Donald Trump Is 'Coming After All of Our Greatest Black People' The Hive was quick to point out that the 35-time Grammy winner's methods of transit in the ad could symbolize her transition from the country-inspired Cowboy Carter era to the rollout for her next album, which fans overwhelmingly believe will have a rock sound. 'Beyoncé arrived on a horse and left on a motorcycle,' one person wrote on X. 'The visual storytelling is real. It's being made clear that we are on the road to rock with ACT III.' 'Beyoncé ends the COWBOY CARTER era leaving on a motorcycle, officially beginning the ACT III era,' another fan mused, while a third person added. 'She comes in on a horse, leaves on a motorcycle … It's rock.' The commercial comes shortly after Bey made history with her summerlong Cowboy Carter Tour becoming Billboard Boxscore's highest grossing country tour in history. The trek — which spanned late April through the end of July — grossed $407.6 million with 1.6 million tickets sold. The Destiny's Child alum's exploration of country music on 2024 Billboard 200-topper Cowboy Carter followed 2022's Renaissance, which found Bey focusing on dance and house music. The projects serve as the first two parts in an album trilogy that will presumably end with the singer choosing a third genre to focus on, which fans have long speculated will be rock.

Marvel Stadium ranked in 2025 Pollstar Mid-Year Top 50 Worldwide Stadium list
Don't miss out on the headlines from Victoria. Followed categories will be added to My News. Melbourne's Marvel Stadium has been ranked in the top five sport and entertainment venues in the world for the first time. The Herald Sun can reveal the AFL-owned ground has been ranked Australia's top stadium in a global study, outpointing the MCG, Adelaide Oval, SCG, Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane and Optus Stadium in Perth. The Docklands venue ranked in the top 10 in the 2025 Pollstar Mid-Year Top 50 Worldwide Stadium rankings for both tickets and gross sales. Marvel Stadium was ranked the highest Australian venue in Pollstar's top 50 list, joining the likes of Mexico's Estadio GNP Seguros, California's SoFi Stadium and Japan's Tokyo Dome as international venues in the top 10. Measured between November 14, 2024 and May 14, 2025, Pollstar ranked Marvel Stadium as fifth in the world for highest-grossing stadiums and seventh for highest stadium ticket sales. During that period, more than 111,200 fans packed Marvel Stadium to see US country artist Luke Combs, 54,600 flocked to see punk pop rockers Green Day, and 108,100 rocked out to Pearl Jam. The data crunch also took in patronage for AFL matches featuring the likes of Essendon, Western Bulldogs and St Kilda. Marvel Stadium general manager Scott Fitzgerald said the ranking reinforced the venue's place on the international touring map. 'To be named among the best stadiums on the global stage is a true testament to the investment and innovation that has gone into evolving Marvel Stadium into a world-class, 365-day multipurpose venue that is delivering unforgettable experiences for fans, artists, and athletes alike,' he said. The milestone marks the first time Marvel Stadium has been recognised in the top five venues for grossing stadiums, following its eighth position in the same list in 2023. Mr Fitzgerald said: 'Melbourne is a city that lives and breathes sport and live entertainment, and we're proud that Marvel Stadium is continuing to shine on an international stage and creating experiences that rival the world's best.' It was the highest Aussie stadium in Pollstar's top 50, surpassing fellow Australian sites Accor Stadium, Flemington Racecourse, Brisbane Showgrounds and ENGIE Stadium. And it is the second global ranking recognition Marvel Stadium has received in the past year after its number one top-grossing concert revenue result for October in the 2024 Billboard Boxscore rankings. Marvel trailed only Estadio GNP Seguros in Mexico City, SoFi Stadium in the US, Allianz Parque in Brazil and Mexico's Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez for gross sales. It was the seventh top arena based on ticket sales, behind Estadio GNP Seguros, Allianz Parquel, Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez and SoFi Stadium. While footy rules in Melbourne during winter, the venue will host some more big acts this year including Oasis, Metallica, Lady Gaga, Mariah Carey and Wrexham AFC's tour Down Under.

These Are the 5 Most Successful Touring Comedians of 2025 (So Far)
Last month, Billboard Boxscore revealed its midyear touring recap, dominated by Coldplay, K-pop and Las Vegas' Sphere. With the launch of Billboard's comedy hub, we're taking a closer look at the top-grossing comedy acts at the midyear mark. More from Billboard How to Secure Affordable Tickets to Earth, Wind & Fire on StubHub 'Something Very Simple, But Intense': How Gesaffelstein & His Team Made One of the Best Electronic Shows On the Road Barry Manilow on His Farewell Concerts ('It Is Goodbye') & Why Today's Lyrics Sound Like a 'Run-On Sentence' The 2025 midyear recap provides a switch-up at the top of the list. Kevin Hart led the pack for 2022 at year-end and in 2023 at both midyear and at the end of the year. Nate Bargatze took the mantle for midyear and year-end in 2024. Both of them were on the road during the '25 tracking period, and one of them even cracks the top five — but there's a new voice atop the heap. While most of the top comedians at midyear spent their time primarily in theaters, the No. 1 act filled arenas, selling out 30 shows in the U.S. and Canada across the six-month period. By playing to larger crowds, the leading comic could afford to play fewer shows; 30 is the smallest show count among the top five, though it's still a busy calendar. Among the top 100 touring artists at midyear, including musicians across all genres, the average show count was 20. By stark contrast, the top five comedy acts averaged 48. Multiple shows per night and low production overhead usually keeps these jokesters moving quicker than pop stars and bands. Keep scrolling for a detailed breakdown of the top five grossing touring comedians of the midyear period – Oct. 1, 2024, to March 31, 2025 – by the numbers.
