Inside NOCTA Manor: Drake and Nike's Immersive Brand Retreat in London
Summary DrakeandNikerecently hosted 'NOCTA Manor,' an immersive, invite-only concept retreat nestled just outside London in the countryside town of Windsor. Built to coincide with Drake's three-night headline run atWireless Festival 2025, the Manor is designed to expand their world ofNOCTAfar beyond apparel and offers a curated look into the evolving universe of their NOCTA brand, bringing together fashion, athletics, music, and hospitality under one highly stylized roof. Set inside a gothic-style estate, the space immediately blurs the lines between luxury living and performance design. From the exterior, the Manor retains its stately, old-world charm. But step inside, and you're met with a fully realized NOCTA ecosystem — thoughtfully divided into three distinct zones: NOCTA Manor, the NOCTA Sports Club, and the Clubhouse. Each space serves a different function, yet all are connected by a unified aesthetic. From branded lounge areas and personalized locker rooms to custom NOCTA boats and a striking yellow and black basketball court set against manicured grounds, every detail is designed to immerse guests in the world of NOCTA. The layout blends high-performance minimalism with a refined, lifestyle-driven sensibility, staying true to the brand's design language while introducing new levels of tactility and intention. Across the multi-day experience, guests were invited to engage with NOCTA in motion. From Nike trainer-led workouts and American football scrimmages to river tours and curated wellness sessions, the experience was as much about movement as it was about rest. An all-star lineup of attendees — including21 Savage,Sexyy Red,Central Cee,Kevin Durant, andDevin Booker— further reinforced the brand's deep cultural roots, bridging the worlds of music, sport, and style into one interconnected atmosphere. Inside, the Manor's interiors were dressed in NOCTA's core palette, with product installations, exclusive apparel previews, and potential first looks at upcoming footwear — including rumored NOCTA x Maverick sneakers. Every detail, from the furniture to the lighting, was intentional, designed to echo the brand's duality: elite performance meets everyday expression. Despite its ultra-exclusive guest list, NOCTA Manor was built for visibility. The retreat's design and programming were meant to be experienced, photographed, and shared. Social posts from attendees quickly transformed the Manor into a viral case study in modern brand immersion. By inviting tastemakers and creatives to live inside the NOCTA world — if only for a weekend — Drake and Nike have redefined what a brand activation can be. More than just a product launch, NOCTA Manor served as a lifestyle installation, one that positioned NOCTA not just as a label, but as a cultural environment. Take a closer look at scenes from the NOCTA retreat below.

Tyler, the Creator releases new album, 'Don't Tap the Glass'
Tyler, the Creator has been busy. The Los Angeles rapper early Monday released 'Don't Tap the Glass,' his second LP to drop in less than nine months. The new 10-track project closely follows 'Chromakopia,' which came out in October, just before Tyler's annual Camp Flog Gnaw festival at Dodger Stadium, where he performed songs from the album including 'Noid' and 'Sticky' and welcomed cameos by Sexyy Red, Doechii and ScHoolboy Q. In February, Tyler set out on a world tour behind 'Chromakopia' that touched down for a six-night stay at Arena and stopped last week in New York for shows at Madison Square Garden and the Barclays Center. According to album credits on Apple Music, 'Don't Tap the Glass' — which features no officially billed guest appearances — was produced by Tyler himself; the album has a funky, club-geared sound full of old-school stylistic touches. In a post on X, Tyler said the LP grew out of a conversation he had with friends about why they don't dance in public. His friends, he said, blamed 'the fear of being filmed.' He added: 'I thought damn, a natural form of expression and a certain connection they have with music is now a ghost. It made me wonder how much of our human spirit got killed because of the fear of being a meme.' 'This album was not made for sitting still,' Tyler wrote. 'Dancing driving running any type of movement is recommended to maybe understand the spirit of it.' Get notified when the biggest stories in Hollywood, culture and entertainment go live.

Justin Bieber Wasn't Melting Down — He Was Locked In
In between standing on business in paparazzi clashes and dodging endless rumors about his personal life, it turns out Justin Bieber was busy in the studio, making a genuinely interesting album. Swag is full of well-chosen collaborators — Gunna, Sexyy Red, Cash Cobain, Lil B, Dijon — confessional lyrics, and even surprisingly self-aware skits recorded with Druski. More from Rolling Stone Travis Scott's 'Jackboys 2' Tops Albums Chart The Sabrina Carpenter You Don't Know Justin Bieber Finally Had '100% Creative Freedom' on 'Swag' After Scooter Braun Split: Source In the new episode of our Rolling Stone Music Now podcast, we break down the last few years of Bieber's life and career, with Jeff Ihaza (who wrote a smart piece on Bieber's cultural savvy) and Brittany Spanos joining host Brian Hiatt. (To hear the whole episode, go here for the podcast provider of your choice, listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, or just press play above.) The discussion notes that Bieber stepped off the pop treadmill after the endless work of his younger years — Swag is only his third album of the past 10 years. It's also a welcome throwback to an era where male pop stars drew from R&B instead of, say, soft rock. The panel goes on to dig into Bieber's enduring influence — stars like Billie Eilish worship him, and he still carries weight as 'a cool white boy,' as Ihaza puts it, in hip-hop and R&B.

GloRilla Turns Up Indianapolis With Fiery 2025 WNBA All-Star Game Halftime Show Performance
GloRilla brought her Memphis tenacity to Indianapolis as she headlined the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game Halftime Show on Saturday night (July 19) with a dynamic performance. Introduced by ESPN's Elle Duncan, Chiney Ogwumike and Andraya Carter, Big Glo hit the stage in a custom one-of-one Gatorade letterman jacket. It was inscribed with an homage to her 'Let Her Cook' hit across the back, along with the signature Gatorade towel in the hood area. More from Billboard Fans Choose BTS' 'Permission to Dance On Stage' Live Album as This Week's Favorite New Music 'JACKBOYS 2' Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard 200 Albums Chart Christina Aguilera Attends 'Burlesque the Musical' in London: See Her Reaction She kicked things off by amping up the Gainbridge Fieldhouse crowd with the aforementioned 'Let Her Cook' before moving into other fan favorites, such as June single 'Typa' and 'TGIF.' Glo and her team of dancers then took the show to center court while the WNBA All-Stars remained on the sidelines to take in the performance, which had the group going crazy. Stars Brittney Sykes and Angel Reese were hyped up and loving Big Glo's energy, as they sang along to just about every word. The 25-year-old Memphis native finished off the halftime show with her Sexyy Red-assisted 'WHATCHU KNO ABOUT ME,' which is certified platinum by the RIAA and peaked inside the Billboard Hot 100's top 20. Glo's music has been part of the in-arena broadcast as hits like 'Hollon' have been played throughout the Fieldhouse during timeouts. BIA was also part of the All-Star Game, setting the tone of the night with her 'We On Go' performance during pre-game player introductions. Next up for GloRilla, she'll keep the party going into the heat of the summer when she hosts her inaugural Glo Bash next Friday (July 25) at the FedEx Forum in Memphis, which boasts performances from Rob 49 and Muni Long. With Team Clark down two starters, including hometown hero Caitlin Clark, Team Collier has built a comfortable 20-plus point cushion in the second half of the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game and should be able to coast to victory and hoist the trophy, barring a disaster.
