Queer Jams of the Week: New Music From Reneé Rapp, St. Vincent, Christine and the Queens & More
Before you head off on your three day weekend, take a moment to add some new tracks to your playlista from your favorite queer artists. Billboard Pride is proud to present the latest edition of Queer Jams of the Week, our roundup of some of the best new music releases from LGBTQ+ artists. From Renee Rapp's cheeky return to St. Vincent's Spanish-language reimagination, check out just a few of our favorite releases from this week below: More from Billboard Here's How to Shop Hailey Bieber's Favorite Beauty Products on Amazon Snoop Dogg Dropped These Crocs-Style Sandals With Skechers - and They're Surprisingly Cool Shamir Ends His Musical Journey the Same Way He Started It - On His Own Terms For every fan of Reneé Rapp's that's been asking, ad nauseum, 'where's the single,' the singer has a definitive answer — 'leave me alone, b—h, I wanna have fun.' On this rollicking, tongue-in-cheek meta-commentary, Rapp gives her fans everything they could have asked for with her return. The lyrics are just as unhinged and provocative as the singer herself, the production adds some rock vibes to her established pop'n'b sound, and the vibes are simply, immaculate. We don't predict anyone will be leaving While St. Vincent has already shared a Spanish-language version of her standout track 'Violent Times' from All Born Screaming, the singer-songwriter certainly hasn't done so with rising singer-songwriter Mon Laferte. Now, 'Tiempos Violentos' is given a new edge, as the pair trade lines in English and Spanish, while expanding the jazzy, dark track to a new, broader world of sound that fits both artists like a glove. It turns out when you take disco legend Cerrone and pace him with avant-pop chameleon Christine and the Queens, you get one of the most immediately enjoyable tracks of the year. On 'Catching Feelings,' the pair lean into their strengths and create a guitar & drum-driven disco-pop track that will have you grooving along within moments. Goldfrapp fans, wake up! We got a new banger from Allison herself! 'Reverberotic,' the latest off the singer's forthcoming new album Flux, sees Goldfrapp embracing synth-pop, trance and a touch of soul to make for one of her most unique-sounding tracks to date. 'Reverberotic, wanna feel that again/ Vibrating light, a supernatural ascent,' she croons on the undulating chorus. 'Reverberotic, all your dreams in the cloud/ Your sweet elixir is a part of me now.' It's been a good week for rising heavy metal rocker PINKNOISE. Not only did the fast-rising artist (known off-stage as Kacey Foxx) sign with Nettwerk Music Group, but they decided to celebrate that fact with a new track. On 'Bittersweet,' Foxx delivers the full range of their artistry, starting the song from a cool, quiet space before blowing up the premise and delivering a hard rock ballad that feels like it's being powered by jet fuel. If you haven't listened to PINKNOISE before today, let this be your official notice to go press play now.

Jack White, Billy Idol, Shania Twain coming to Maine stages this summer
May 15—Big names in big, open-air spaces seems to be the theme for the lineup of pop music acts coming to Maine this summer. Jack White, Lord Huron, Billy Idol and Shania Twain are among the pop and rock music stars scheduled to appear outdoors from Portland to Bangor between Memorial Day and Labor Day. The summer lineup of music and comedy for Maine in 2025 is pretty diverse, in genre, eras and physical locations. Because we all love the music we grew up with, there are a bunch of hitmakers from the 1980s and '90s coming to the state, for instance. There are also several major country stars, past and present, as well as indie rockers or folk groups who are newer to the scene. And because we all need to laugh sometimes, some major comics will be trekking to Maine as well. In terms of location, summer is the time when Maine's outdoor venues open up and fill up. So there will be shows on scenic Thompson's Point in Portland overlooking the Fore River, as well as the Maine Savings Amphitheater in Bangor. City-owned Payson Park in Portland will host its first-ever rock festival over two days in August, the Back Cove Music and Arts Festival. Here's a look at some of the pop music concerts and comedy shows that will heat up the Maine summer this year. And remember to avoid ticket scammers by buying directly from the venue or the venue's website. Don't just Google the show's date and venue and buy from the first site you see. May 29: Vampire Weekend at Thompson's Point in Portland The first concert of the season at the outdoor venue on Thompson's Point will feature indie rockers Vampire Weekend. The band formed in New York City and was especially big on college campuses a few years ago. Their latest album, "Only God Was Above Us" came out in April 2024. Tickets are $69.50 in advance, $95 on show day and free for kids 3 and under. May 29: Billy Currington at Bowl in the Pines, Sidney Billy Currington has a dozen No. 1 country hits on his resume, including "Must Be Doin' Somethin' Right" and "Pretty Good at Drinkin' Beer." The Georgia native will have Parmalee and Cole Goodwin performing with him. The Central Maine venue is a lakeside amphitheater at Snow Pond Center for the Arts, and has been building a reputation for attracting national acts in recent years. Some other shows scheduled this summer include a cappella group Straight No Chaser on July 11 and Lyle Lovett and his Large Band on July 31. General admission tickets for Currington's show are $49.50 in advance. July 15: The Lumineers at Maine Savings Amphitheater in Bangor The Lumineers, based in Denver, Colorado, helped usher in a roots/folk surge in pop music in the 2010s with several hit singles, including "Ho, Hey," "Ophelia" and "Angela." Special guest Hippo Campus will open the show. Tickets start at $67.25. July 19: St. Vincent at the State Theatre in Portland Singer and songwriter Annie Clark, performing as St. Vincent, has been getting critical raves as a solo artist for more than a decade. She's collaborated with Talking Heads' frontman David Byrne and has won six Grammy awards. Hello Mary is also on the bill. Tickets are $45 in advance, $55 on show day. July 22: Shania Twain at Maine Savings Amphitheater in Bangor Dubbed "The Queen of Country Pop" in the 1990s, the Canadian singer-songwriter sold more than 100 million records and was a music video star, when that was a thing. Some of her biggest radio hits include "You're Still the One," "From This Moment On" and "That Don't Impress Me Much." Here's a fun Maine-related Twain fact: In 2023, Derek Haley of Standish competed on a CBS reality show called "Superfan" trying to prove he was Twain's biggest fan, but fell short. Tickets start at $50.95. Aug. 2-3: Back Cove Music and Arts Festival at Payson Park in Portland Twenty-one acts will play two stages over two days during this first-time festival. Some of the big-name national acts on the bill include Lord Huron, Jack White, Andre 3000, Lucy Dacus and Turnpike Troubadours. During the festival, the headliners will be sharing the spotlight with several Maine-based artists, including Griffin William Sherry, Weakened Friends, Oshima Brothers, Pihcintu Multinational Chorus and Maine Academy of Modern Music. With more than 10,000 people expected to show up at the park each day, it'll likely be the biggest music festival in the city since the Mumford & Sons "Gentlemen of the Road Stopover" in 2012. That one-day event brought some 15,000 people to the city's Eastern Promenade. Single-day general admission tickets start online at $137. Aug. 8-10: Guster on the Ocean Weekend at Thompson's Point in Portland This has become an annual happening in Maine. It's a happy coincidence for Guster's guitarist and singer, Adam Gardner, who lives here. It's growing every year and this year the alt-rockers are joined by nine other acts, including The Mountain Goats, Fruit Bats, Maggie Rose, Joe and Marc Pisapia, Sam Champion, Hanson, Joy Oladokun, Karina Rykman and Bailen. The opening night of the event features Guster hosting a comedy/music/storytelling session at the State Theatre in Portland. Tickets for the festival shows at Thompson's Point on Aug. 9 and 10 start at $65, $20 for kids. Aug. 9: John Mulaney with Fred Armisen at Cross Insurance Arena in Portland Former "Saturday Night Live" writer John Mulaney headlines a show with some of his funny friends. These include another SNL alum, Fred Armisen, who also co-starred in the surreal sketch comedy show "Portlandia." Nick Kroll ("Parks and Recreation") and Mike Birbiglia round out the friends group. Tickets start online at $105. Aug. 26: Billy Idol with Joan Jett and the Blackhearts at Maine Savings Amphitheater in Bangor This is a big double shot of '80s rock and popstar power. Sneering British rocker Idol was everywhere in the '80s, headlining stadiums and arenas, on MTV and on magazine covers. He was such a symbol of the decade that he even shows up in Adam Sandler's 1998 love letter to the '80's, "The Wedding Singer." Joan Jett of course had us all singing "I Love Rock n' Roll" and not giving a darn about our bad reputations. Tickets start at $43 on the lawn. Copy the Story Link

Bill Murray clashes with pushy fan: ‘ATTACK ME LIKE THAT AGAIN'
Bill Murray confronted a fan invading his personal space while leaving a movie theatre in New York City. In a video shot last month that has now gone viral, the Ghostbusters star is seen walking away with another man right behind him near an escalator at the theatre. The man appears to trip Murray from behind, prompting the actor to spin around and admonish the fan. 'Stop it!' Murray said, while pointing his finger in the man's face. 'You attack me like that again, I'll step on your foot.' The 74-year-old was ushered away by security but Murray continued to berate the fan, accusing him of 'physical assault.' The Lost in Translation actor added: 'Don't do that. You're not big enough to do that.' The fan could be heard repeatedly apologizing in the video, which has more than 1.8 million views on TikTok. People in the comments were split, with some saying the actor was being 'mean' and should 'chill out' and 'lighten up.' Others agreed that Murray was right to say something, noting 'boundaries,' while one commented, 'I'm on Bill's side, like damn, give the guy some space.' The clip of the incident emerged days after Murray sparked outrage when he forcibly kissed Naomi Watts during their joint appearance on Monday's episode on Watch What Happens Live!'s. The pair were promoting their new film The Friend, which comes a decade after their first project together, St. Vincent. Watts was asked to name her 'best onscreen kiss,' but before she could answer, Murray leaned over, tipped the actress' head back and planted one on his co-star's lips. Murray then gave a thumbs-up to the camera. 'You've got lipstick on your face,' Watts said, shaking her head and pointing to Murray's mouth before she asked: 'OK. Did I go red?' Murray replied, 'That was too easy.' Watts regained her composure and answered the fan's kiss question, naming her husband, Billy Crudup. 'DONE SOME DAMAGE:' Bill Murray hints at past questionable behaviour Bill Murray addresses misconduct allegations: 'I THOUGHT I WAS FUNNY' Kelis and Bill Murray split after whirlwind romance Murray was slammed online for his 'horrifying' and 'disrespectful' behaviour. 'Bill Murray's appearance on WWHL tonight was … something,' one person wrote on X. 'Between calling Naomi Watts a little girl to grabbing and kissing her without notice,' they continued. 'I've been a fan as long as I can remember but it was rough to watch.'

Glastonbury 2025 to feature Olivia Rodrigo, The 1975, Neil Young as headliners
Glastonbury Festival has officially announced its 2024 headliners: Olivia Rodrigo, The 1975, and Neil Young. The British festival, renowned for its wide array of musical acts, will see The 1975 take the stage on Friday, June 27, followed by Neil Young on Saturday, June 28, and Olivia Rodrigo closing out the festival on Sunday, June 29. These artists will join Rod Stewart, who was previously revealed to be playing the festival's prestigious "legends slot." The announcement on Thursday comes after a brief controversy earlier this year when Neil Young declared he would boycott the festival due to BBC's 'corporate control.' However, Young reversed his stance shortly after, confirming his participation. This year's lineup features several other big names, including Charli XCX, Weezer, Raye, Doechii, Gracie Abrams, St. Vincent, and many more. The 1975, known for their genre-blending music, will be headlining Glastonbury for the first time. Their frontman, Matty Healy, is known for his controversial stage antics, including a recent incident where he kissed a bandmate during a show in Malaysia, which sparked legal issues over the country's anti-LGBT laws. Olivia Rodrigo, one of the biggest breakout stars of the 2020s, will be the second-youngest artist ever to headline Glastonbury, after Billie Eilish. Rodrigo's set will feature hits from her albums SOUR and Guts, including tracks like 'Good 4 U' and 'Driver's License.' Charli XCX, a rising star in the UK pop scene, will headline the Other Stage on Saturday, June 28, further solidifying her place in the spotlight. Next year, Glastonbury will take a fallow year to allow Worthy Farm to recover, making this year's edition even more highly anticipated.
