The Lumineers, Hydro, Glasgow ★★★ Lumineers founders Wesley Schultz and Jeremiah Fraites are celebrating 20 years of making music together, expanding to an instrument-swapping six-piece for this arena tour. This is new-ish, expansive territory for the Denver band but they've brought the cool multi-coloured lighting effects to embellish their manicured roots pop and wordless singalongs so beloved of TV soundtrack compilers. The Lumineers |They kicked off a bumper set of around 30 songs with the double drummer action of the prophetic Same Old Song, featuring forced vocals from frontman Schultz. If his voice was a little ragged, we later found out why: his younger brother Sam had just passed away and the entire show was dedicated to him. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'You gave me something to do with all this emotion,' Schultz told the crowd as he resurrected the cover of Talking Heads' This Must Be the Place (Naïve Melody) he played at his brother's wedding. His band members rallied in a group hug while the crowd waved their phone lights in an act of communal compassion. The band wasted no time in advancing to the end of their stage catwalk to connect with their people, while a slick small army of stagehands facilitated the changeovers. Flowers In Your Hair, side one track one of their debut album, demonstrated that the pop bluegrass template was always there, sterilised to sound like a US Mumford & Sons or Ed Sheeran when he's in Radio 2 mode. Most of the set followed a similar formula, taking in the simplistic chant of pop worksong Ho Hey and the shouty indie folk cabaret of Big Parade, with each band member taking their turn on vocals.

Benny Blanco Fills Bathtub With Queso for Selena Gomez's Extra-Cheesy Valentine's Day Gift
Benny Blanco knows that Selena Gomez is a fan of cheesy Valentine's Day gestures — literally. In celebration of this year's Day of Love, the producer showed off the unorthodox gift he gave his famous fiancée: a bathtub full of queso. On an Instagram video posted Friday (Feb. 14), Blanco follows a trail of tortilla chips into his luxurious bathroom, where more chips spell out on the floor, 'I [LOVE] YOU.'

'When your fiancé isnt much of a flowers girl,' he captioned the clip, which he paired with his and Gomez's new duet 'Scared of Loving You.' 'I love everything bout this..,' the Rare Beauty founder wrote in the comments. In addition to edible displays of affection, Gomez and Blanco also celebrated Valentine's Day 2025 by announcing their new joint album I Said I Love You First. With 'Scared of Loving You' serving as the lead single, the 14-track LP will arrive March 21. And for those who have been following along with the 'Lose You to Love Me' singer and Blanco's love story, the cheese tub is a natural progression in their series of romantic gestures. On V-Day last year, the 'Eastside' hitmaker rented out a movie theater for Gomez and stocked it with her favorite foods: Taco Bell, nachos and Hot Cheetos. And in December, he proposed to his fiancée over a picnic of Taco Bell carryout. See Blanco's Valentine's Day gift to Gomez below.
