No stadium shows, but plenty of big concerts are coming to Jacksonville this summer
Change is coming this summer to Jacksonville's concert scene, but from the looks of it, the music will be excellent. There's a new venue in town. Five has opened in the former Sun-Ray Cinema space in Five Points, with room for 1,200 standing fans. Another is coming. The Ponte Vedra Concert Hall has been closed for more than a year and will reopen in August as an expanded venue with some permanent seating. When completed, it will be about the same size as Five, and it will be interesting to see how the venues compete for acts and for fans. A new nightclub, Decca Live, opened on Bay Street in downtown Jacksonville earlier this year and is regularly booking acts. Just down the street, the former Underbelly club has rebranded as The Albatross and has its own slate of shows. Daily's Place has a lighter-than-usual schedule this summer as construction begins on the adjacent EverBank Stadium. There's still no word on whether Daily's will operate at all next year, when crews remove the upper decks of the stadium, or the following year, when the stadium will be closed entirely while new decks are built. Even with all the changes, you shouldn't have to look too hard to find a show that suits your tastes. Beatlemaniac? Ringo Starr's playing. Pre-schooler? Kidz Bop is coming. Southern rocker? Molly Hatchet's doing a hometown show at the Florida Theatre. Country? Choose between Shania Twain, Brad Paisley, Riley Green or Red Clay Strays. Heart is coming, and so is a Heartbreaker. Lil Poppa and Lil Duval all have shows on the books, as do Lil Baby, Da Baby and Skilla Baby. Jazz fans will dig Postmodern Jukebox, hip-hoppers will flock to shows by Ice Cube and Jeezy, and folks looking for a laugh have Nate Bargatze and Nikki Glaser. Here are the highlights: Rick Springfield, with John Waite, Wang Chung and John Cafferty, 6:30 p.m. Thursday, May 29, at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre. $39.50-$149.50.

Glaiza De Castro, David Rainey attend G-Dragon's concert at Philippine Arena
Glaiza De Castro is one happy fangirl after attending G-Dragon's Übermensch concert at the Philippine Arena with her husband, David Rainey. On Instagram, the Sparkle actress shared a reel of her concert experience with David. They were joined by Kapuso actor Gabby Eigenmann and his wife, Apples. "Been waiting for this comeback and I honestly thought tapos na ako sa pag fa-fangirl pero andito parin ako, getting my crayon at patuloy na nai-inspire sa artistry at talent ni [G-Dragon]," she said. Glaiza praised the concert's visuals, stage design, choreography, musical arrangement, costume, and storytelling. "Übermensch—a person who has evolved into a transcendent form of humanity by overcoming human failings and the influences of society," she said. "Ganda ng message niya sa interview, sakto 'yung title. I like this version of him and I will always be proud to be his fan, mas nakakakilig pa na may additional support ako this time," she added, giving a shoutout to David. On Instagram Stories, Glaiza said David bought concert merch for her and proudly flexed the daisy light stick. G-Dragon is the leader of K-pop group Big Bang, which debuted in 2006. He debuted as a solo artist in 2009 with the album, "Heartbreaker." After a 12-year hiatus, he released his fourth studio album, "Übermensch," in February. Meanwhile, Glaiza will return to GMA Prime this June as Pirena in "Sang'gre." She also has an upcoming GL film with Rhian Ramos. —MGP, GMA Integrated News

How Gordi went from doctor to musician, and back again: ‘In the hospital, you have to learn how to disassociate'
Sophie Payten has lived two lives. In one, she is Gordi, the Aria-nominated singer-songwriter who has worked with Bon Iver and Troye Sivan, and made Chris Martin cry (more on that later). In the other, she is a medical doctor. 'In the early years of my career, I tried to really not talk about medicine in my music life, because they felt so separate,' the 32-year-old says. 'The pandemic really merged them together in a way that I didn't ask for or anticipate.' We meet midweek at Heartbreaker, a Melbourne dive bar close to Payten's heart – 'I'm a huge advocate for a late-night pizza slice,' she grins. But the time we're talking about is far removed from the hustle and bustle surrounding us. In early 2020, Payten had just completed her first year as a junior doctor and quit to focus on music. But when touring ground to a halt, she was whisked back to hospital wards for the next 18 months. 'I didn't write anything during that period … I had no space for creativity,' she recalls. 'I am an intensely emotional person … but in the hospital, you have to really learn how to disassociate in a way, because you're surrounded by suffering, and if you take all that on, you would explode.' It was a while before Payten started writing her third album, Like Plasticine, the title inspired by the medical exam performed to certify death: 'I was really struck by the way that people appear after they've just passed away, and how their skin has this waxy appearance … That made me think of plasticine and how we change into all these shapes in our lives.' A 'very nice friendship' with a patient inspired the ethereal Anaïs Mitchell duet PVC Divide, which opens with a powerful, harrowing lyric: 'She said that she watched him die on FaceTime.' Sign up for the fun stuff with our rundown of must-reads, pop culture and tips for the weekend, every Saturday morning The patient was recovering from a brain tumour and preparing to go home – but then it aggressively returned. Payten sat with him while he video-called his daughter to say he wouldn't survive. 'That was just indescribable, to witness someone contemplating that,' she says. 'I'd never been motivated before to take my experiences from the hospital into my songwriting, but I was so profoundly affected by that.' After lockdowns ended, Payten booked herself into a studio for two intensive 10-day writing sessions, six months apart. 'It was a funny sensation, because I had always felt like songwriting was this impulse that I couldn't control, or like a tap that I couldn't turn off, and suddenly it was off,' she says. 'It was – not to harp on the water metaphor – more like fishing things out of a well.' Payten's partner, fellow singer-songwriter Alex Lahey, accompanied her to the studio on the first day, resulting in the album's latest single, Cutting Room Floor. 'It's truly a positive, inspiring force in my life, to be that close to another songwriter,' Payten says. 'It's like having two brains instead of one.' Plasticine's first two singles, Peripheral Lover and Alien Cowboy, are sonically worlds apart. The first is a glittering synth-pop anthem that Payten was initially unsure about. 'I was terrified of that song for so long … I just wasn't sure if I was ready to embrace that kind of deep pop,' she says. 'I got to a place where I was like, 'I'm just going to get out of the way of this thing and [let it] be what it wants to be.' The latter is all distortion and experimentation, as Payten ponders a speculative queer utopia. On the album, fuzzy iPhone recordings sit alongside polished pop, with one thing holding it all together. 'The reason I love making music, and the reason that I think some people relate to my music, is simply because of the emotion of the thing – I wanted to preserve some of the rawness of those emotions,' Payten says. 'In some moments, you feel so close to the origin of the actual song, and [in] some of them you feel like you stand back and are looking at them from afar.' The album's eclecticism reflects Payten's own diverse taste; her influences include Tegan and Sara, Broken Social Scene, Carly Rae Jepsen, Lomelda, Hurray for the Riff Raff and Caroline Polachek. That range makes Payten's music widely accessible, too – it has featured on soundtracks including The Walking Dead, To All the Boys and, in a full-circle moment, Grey's Anatomy. 'When I was a teenager, I absolutely feasted on Grey's Anatomy and the One Tree Hill soundtrack,' she says. These days Payten lives between Melbourne and Los Angeles, but tirelessly advocates for the Australian music scene as a member of the Music Australia Council, and with Over Our Dead Body, a live music initiative she co-runs with Lahey. 'The issues that the music industry is facing … are very big cultural, economic, social issues,' she says, listing the discoverability and charting of Australian music, and dwindling gig attendance numbers, as some. 'Sometimes it feels like Whac-a-Mole.' As for the moment she shared with Chris Martin? The story goes that Coldplay wanted to meet local artists during the band's Australia tour last year, and Payten went along. Martin singled her out, inviting her to play a song on the piano. She performed her song Lunch at Dune, and when she opened her eyes, he was crying. Her video retelling the story went gangbusters online – but sadly, there's no footage of the actual moment. 'The only viral moment I'd had previously was a video I'd posted of someone brushing their cat in a park,' Payten laughs. '[I was] pleased that this moment actually was so attached to the song, because I just want people to listen, at the end of the day.'

Ryan Adams' Belfast concert described as ‘most uncomfortable ever'
Ryan Adams reportedly stormed off stage during what fans described as a 'chaotic' show in Belfast on Saturday. The American singer-songwriter, 50, was playing at the Waterfront Hall to mark the 25th anniversary of his debut solo album, Heartbreaker. However, the gig is said to have ended abruptly after the controversial musician 'threw a tantrum', audience members claimed, while a local reporter described it as 'the most uncomfortable, shambolic live music experience I've ever had'. 'Went to the worst 'concert' I've ever been to tonight in the Waterfront Hall,' one fan posted on X/Twitter. 'Ryan Adams forgot the bit about giving the audience a good performance in return for their hard-earned cash! By performance I don't mean throwing a tantrum dressed up as Oscar Wilde!' When another fan attempted to defend Adams by accusing them of 'ignoring' his pleas for no flash photography, the original poster responded: 'The flash was off! He was annoyed about everything. 'He didn't like how people had to leave their seats to go to the loo. He was annoyed by latecomers, drunks calling for requests and the torchlights used by the ushers. Proper diva stuff.' 'Struggling to describe the chaos of Ryan Adams [in] Belfast,' another audience member said. However, some fans defended Adams' behaviour and said he was upset by fans using the flash function on their phones, as he is epileptic. The Independent has contacted Adams' representative for comment. The Belfast Telegraph reported that Adams abandoned the set halfway through, telling the audience: 'Stop f***ing flashing. I warned you. You could kill me. I have epilepsy and Meniere's disease. F*** you, I'm not coming back until you stop flashing.' Signs had been placed around the venue warning fans against the use of flash photography due to Adams' condition. The musician later returned to the stage after around half an hour, the publication reported, and said he had suffered an epileptic seizure backstage. Another fan alleged that, towards the end of the show, a group near them had 'actively tried to use flash photography to cause another seizure'. Other fans said further incidents added to the 'uncomfortable' tone of the evening, such as Adams apparently hand-delivering a copy of his forthcoming novel, The Greatest Movie Ever Made, to one fan. 'If you haven't been to see Ryan Adams yet… don't,' one disgruntled audience member said. 'Won tickets to see him and still feel like I'm due a refund. Left after three songs. Avoid.' Adams has been attempting to revive his career since 2019, when he was accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women, including singer Phoebe Bridgers and his ex-wife, Mandy Moore. A year later, he shared a lengthy apology for his past behaviour, writing: 'There are no words to express how bad I feel about the ways I've mistreated people through my life and career. All I can say is that I'm sorry.'

Will Poulter says there are ‘few truly anti-war films'
Will Poulter has said there are 'few truly anti-war films', claiming that they glorify and romanticise war. Speaking at The Cinema in Battersea Power Station for a special screening of the film Warfare, the 32-year old described the movie as dealing with the 'consequences' of war. The film follows a platoon of American Navy Seals in Iraq when a surveillance mission goes wrong and stars Poulter as Captain Eric, the officer in charge alongside Canadian actor D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, Stranger Things' Joseph Quinn, Heartbreaker star Kit Connor and Shogun's Cosmo Jarvis. Speaking to the PA news agency, Poulter said: 'This film really deals with the consequences of war. And I think that in past films about disparaging other movies which have maybe had different objectives, I think the tendency to glorify, romanticise or mine those environments for the most entertainment, they've neglected to reflect the reality of the situation. 'There are a few truly anti-war films, and I truly believe this one is in respect to how it shows the psychological and physical impact on everyone in those environments. 'It helps to sort of debunk this idea that people that go to war are, one, a lot older than they are in reality. And two, debunks the myth that they aren't human, or that they don't succumb to emotion and to psychological pressure. 'What you see in this film is very, very young men, like 20 to 25 which they are in reality, kind of experience the reality of war. 'You also see the impact on the family who are native to that area and impacted psychologically.' Poulter is best known for starring in the hit comedy We're The Millers and for playing Gally in the film adaptation of The Maze Runner. Warfare was co-written and directed by Alex Garland and Iraq War veteran Ray Mendoza, using memories from Navy Seals, including Mendoza's, from a mission in Ramadi in 2006. Speaking at the screening, Connor added: 'We hope people come out of it understanding the effects that it (war) has on everyone involved and just the real weight of it. 'I think no matter what time it is in the world, it will be an important film to watch.' Warfare will be released by A24 in UK Cinemas from April 18.
