Last Friday (October 10), Anyma took the stage at one of the most iconic landmarks on Earth, the Great Pyramids of Giza, for a rare performance set against the backdrop of ancient stone and open desert sky. Anyma’s breathtaking socials clips from the event have already amassed over 10 million views – the setting truly must be seen to be believed.
A defining moment for Anyma, the show delivered a powerful connection between music and atmosphere. The vastness of the setting, the weight of history, and the natural stillness of the environment shaped a unique experience for thousands of fans, transcending the eras and defying the usual confines of the dance floor. The event was also a historic moment for Anyma, who delivered his first-ever two-part performance. Taking place across two distinctive stages, Anyma performed a unique set on each: Anyma’s Quantum concept as a DJ set, leading into The End Of Genesys as a state-of-the-art audiovisual show that pushed the boundaries of live performance.
Known for his meticulously crafted sets, Anyma brings a sound that is both intimate and infinitely expansive. This event marked an opportunity to hear that sound in one of the world’s most monumental settings, where every echo carries farther and every detail lands with more impact. Anyma will bring the next era of his show Æden to his Coachella headline set in 2026.
Elton John’s festive classic “Step Into Christmas” has officially been certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), recognizing more than one million certified units in the United States.
Originally released on November 23, 1973, “Step Into Christmas” peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Christmas Singles chart in the US. Over the past decade, the song has cemented its place as a seasonal favorite, spending a total of 44 weeks to date on the Billboard Holiday Airplay chart and re-entering the UK charts every December since 2011. During the 2020–21 winter season, it achieved its highest UK chart position to date at No.8. In 2023, exactly fifty years after its release, the single was certified Triple Platinum by the BPI. Listen to “Step Into Christmas” HERE.
In 2024, over 50 years after the song’s original release, Elton John unveiled a brand-new video Christmas classic that reimagines the making of the original 1973 promo. The gloriously kitsch music video stars British actress and model Cara Delevingne as Elton, portraying the chaos and humour of a frantic production team trying to make the set “Christmassy enough.” Between wrangling an escaped turkey, missing a real reindeer, and fending off fans, Cara perfectly channels Elton’s iconic moves and expressions, paying playful homage to the original video. A lifelong Elton fan, Delevingne fulfilled a personal dream in this role, stepping—quite literally—into her friend’s high-heeled boots for a joyful and affectionate tribute to one of the most enduring holiday songs of all time. Watch the video HERE.
Written with longtime collaborator Bernie Taupin, “Step Into Christmas” truly captures the joy and spirit of the holiday season in Elton’s unique and inimitable style. Decades after its debut, this bona fide classic continues to find new fans and cement its status as a truly joyous and essential staple of the festive season.

In addition, it is the ticket to the Angkor Wat temple and the Angkor Archaeological Park.As the second largest city in the nation, it has approximately 1.1 million people in the entire province. It’s a 5.5-hour drive from Phnom Penh, so it’s easily accessible by a luxury bus company for about $16 USD each way via VET Express Airbus. Our visit took place during The Water Festival.

Apsara Dinner Theater
An extravagant atmosphere prevailed at the Apsara Dinner Theater. Situated in one of the most luxurious hotel accommodations in Siem Reap. The buffet that was all-you-can-eat was superb. There was a vast array of fruit, vegetable, fish, and chicken dishes. Adult beverages are sold separately and payment is made by credit card at the end of service. The performance was impressive and had short breaks in between. You can experience authentic Khmer culture by observing beautiful hand-stitched and beaded costumes, as well as live music.

The star recently wrapped up her sold-out global Miss Possessive Arena Tour. With over 80-dates and a million tickets sold, the tour included stops in Latin America, Europe, United Kingdon and North America. Praising the show, Rolling Stone called it “a manic pop-glitz spectacle” while The New York Times noted, “Dance, which has been a central part of McRae’s pop persona from the beginning, is thrillingly showcased.”
GRAMMY®-nominated recording artist mgk reunites with one of the most successful groups of the 21st century, Jonas Brothers, for fizzy and swoon-worthy remix of his inescapable 2025 hit “cliché.” The two pop powerhouses first played the song together live when mgk joined Nick, Joe, and Kevin for a raucous surprise performance at their September Vancouver show on Jonas Brothers biggest tour yet. “cliché (Jonas Brothers Remix)” captures their infectious full-band energy as four vocalists making a heartfelt plea for love. Listen HERE.
Hailing from mgk’s blockbuster new album lost americana — his third consecutive No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart — “cliché” is an upbeat anthem written and produced alongside longtime mgk collaborators and friends SlimXX, BazeXX, and Nick Long. Opening on spare guitar and emotive vocals, the song explodes into racing pop-punk rhythms and glistening new wave textures. On the new version, mgk splits up the verses with the Jonas Brothers, but they all come together for the massive heart-on-sleeve chorus.
“cliché” has become an enduring cornerstone of lost americana. In June, mgk released the candid, piano-powered acoustic rendition, “cliché (sad version).” He’s also brought energized performances of the single to massive televised stages including Nickelodeon’s Kid’s Choice Awards and The Today Show’s Citi Concert Series, where he sang backed by a full band.
The new release arrives as mgk continues his lost americana tour, which is set to conquer arenas and amphitheaters in North American, Europe, and the UK well into July of 2026 so far. At select dates, mgk will treat fans to a special five-year anniversary performance celebrating his groundbreaking 2020 album, Tickets to My Downfall, which scored mgk his first #1 on the Billboard 200. The tour’s full lineup, routing, and ticket information can be found HERE.

KATSEYE – who recently received their first two GRAMMY® nominations for Best New Artist and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for the breakout hit “Gabriela” – kicked off their first-ever tour on November 15 at The Armory in Minneapolis, MN. The tour is named for the group’s new EP, BEAUTIFUL CHAOS (HYBE x Geffen Records), which debuted in the top 5 of the Billboard 200.

Over the summer, the group played their first festivals. NYLON praised KATSEYE’s “red-hot Lollapalooza debut.” Coveteur went backstage with the group for a look at the fashions selected especially for their performance in this feature. Next, the group flew to Japan to perform at Summer Sonic Festival in Tokyo. In late October, KATSEYE made their first-ever UK appearance. Melanie C (Spice Girls) was on hand to moderate a Q&A with KATSEYE before their performance. Rolling Stone UK noted, “KATSEYE are, dare I say it, the Spice Girls of the social media age…. I think they will become the defining girl group of the 2020s.”
BEAUTIFUL CHAOS includes the hits “Gnarly,” which has already amassed 100 million combined global streams, and “Gabriela,” which HYPEBEAST praised as “a bold evolution in [KATSEYE’s] artistic direction.” KATSEYE went on to team up with Young Miko for a remix of “Gabriela,” earning widespread praise. Rolling Stone said, “The new version of the fan-favorite [‘Gabriela’] comes just days after Katseye made history with a massive crowd on the Lollapalooza mainstage in Chicago over the weekend.” Remezcla observed, “[The] remix has transformed this song into an undeniable Latine queer anthem.”
KATSEYE recently won the MTV Video Music Award for Push Performance of the Year for “Touch.” The group performed two songs at the ceremony –“Gnarly” (view HERE) and “Gabriela” (view HERE). ELLE chronicled their night of firsts in this article. The FADER said, “KATSEYE’s 2025 VMAs performances prove they’re up next.” Harper’s Bazaar praised their “jaw-dropping performance of ‘Gabriela’…they brought the heat with sensual choreography that made the crowd go wild.” Entertainment Tonight said, “KATSEYE Slays VMAs” and spoke with the group in this clip.
For Halloween, KATSEYE shot a special video, inspired by a question they got on the VMA red carpet: “What is your favorite Mariah Carey video?” Playing a journalist in the clip, “Saturday Night Live” star Bowen Yang poses the question, and each group member responds by modeling a look from Carey’s music videos. Carey, who was honored with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at the VMA’s, makes a cameo. View the video HERE. Teen Vogue declared, “KATSEYE Goes Full Mariah Carey For Their First Halloween Costume. And we’re obsessed.”
When GAP tapped KATSEYE for its fall 2025 “Better in Denim” campaign, the commercial instantly went viral as fans began posting clips of themselves doing the moves from the Robbie Blue-choreographed spot. View the ad, which has over 45 million views on YouTube alone, HERE. As Bustle noted in this feature from its Entertainers issue, “It seems just about everything the group does goes viral…” Highsnobiety and Teen Vogue went behind-the-scene of the commercial shoot.

Brooklyn’s award-winning rapper, Joey Bada$$, and visionary designer KidSuper debuted their collaborative capsule collection, “SUPAFLEE,” at an exclusive pop-up event in Brooklyn from 2-6PM EST. The event brought together fans, collectors and creatives to celebrate the launch of the highly anticipated collection, blending music, fashion, and art in a one-of-a-kind experience.
SUPAFLEE merges Joey’s bold, timeless energy with KidSuper’s imaginative design language. The collection marks a full-circle moment for the two Brooklyn natives, whose decade-long friendship fueled the spirit behind the drop. Designed to celebrate and mirror the essence of Joey’s latest mixtape, ‘Lonely At The Top,’ the capsule embodies the same vibrant, stylish, and self-expressive DNA.
“Colm isn’t just a collaborator he’s family” says Joey Bada$$. “We’ve been building together for years, so SUPAFLEE came naturally. It was a no-brainer. We both approach creativity with the same fearlessness, so this capsule became a space where our worlds collide.” KidSuper creator Colm Dillane says, “Over a decade of knowing each other, it’s amazing to see everything we have both accomplished. Without Joey, I don’t know where KidSuper would be”.
The Brooklyn pop-up offered first access to the limited-edition collection along with an exclusive meet-and-greet, giving attendees the chance to shop the collection, take photos, and connect with Joey and Colm. Guests were immersed in an environment reflecting the capsule’s striking and playful aesthetic, complete with interactive installations and curated visuals that brought the world of SUPAFLEE to life.
The pop-up followed a monumental night for Joey, who performed a sold-out show at the historic Brooklyn Paramount. The homecoming performance marked a full-circle moment, as his last Brooklyn show took place before 2022. Joey celebrated the release of his latest project, Lonely At The Top, bringing out special guests Ferg, Rapsody, Neek Bucks, and Bri Steeves, with a DJ set by Powers Pleasant. The setlist blended new music with fan-favorite records from his debut album, 1999, underscoring his growth and longevity.
The “SUPAFLEE” capsule collection features a zip-up hoodie, matching sweatpants, a crewneck sweater, and a T-shirt, available for purchase exclusively at the KidSuper Brooklyn storefront from November 21 to 24 and online starting (date TBD). The drop will remain in-store only for the duration of the pop-up, with an online release date to be announced.
