I’m going to say it: the opening night of the Mayhem Ball was even better than Coachella.

Full review coming soon!

At last, my review of Jay-Z’s incredible show at Yankee Stadium last Saturday night, a celebration of The Blueprint. I don't think I've ever seen a sold-out stadium crowd so excited for an artist, and Hov delivered and then some.

idk bro I think these two shows back to back is ending the RD vs Blueprint argument definitively lmao

Incredible

I left the Eternal Sunshine tour feeling a way only certain performers can make me feel: like stepping off a roller coaster, “I want to go again.”

You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So In Love is where Olivia Rodrigo mastered the signature sound she’d been building toward, and it’s her strongest LP yet.

Absolutely thrilled by this news. As someone who had tickets to several of the cancelled 2021 shows, I will absolutely be there for the first show, wherever in the world it may be.

Michael Jackson is the first artist to chart in the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 in six different decades.

I'll say it: "The Girl Is Mine" is overhated

‘MICHAEL’ has earned $39.5M in its domestic opening day.

It breaks the record for the biggest opening day for a biopic in history. It also achieves the biggest box office opening day of 2026 so far.

It really takes a special kind of band for the musical side of things to be just as exciting as the visuals at the Sphere, and I'm happy to say Phish more than delivers on that front.

My review of the closing night of Lady Gaga’s Mayhem Ball.

[Ethan Lambert @ByEthanLambert]

I’m in NYC tonight for the final show of Lady Gaga’s MAYHEM Ball at Madison Square Garden. I was at Coachella W1 last year for the very first show of the Mayhem era and tonight I get to see what should be an epic conclusion. Full show review/tour recap out tomorrow!

Angine de Poitrine's sophomore album is one of the most exciting rock releases of the year so far. https://t.co/kRK9Mox5tf

[Ethan Lambert @ByEthanLambert]

Because of the fiery passion and energy Springsteen and his band brought last night, the nearly three-hour show felt like a Springsteen show on steroids — an absolute treat for fans, but a moment of unity and joy for the city of Minneapolis.

In honor of his recent performance in the First Avenue Mainroom and tireless advocacy work for the state of Minnesota, we’re proud to have @springsteen’s name on our wall forever. A well-deserved star for the legendary Boss ⭐️

Thank you to lifelong First Avenue fan, Kory Lidstrom of Indy Painting, who did the work with a broken arm! “Anything for First Ave and The Boss,” he said.
