BTS’ Arirang world tour will come to the big screen for one-night-only with a live screening of their homecoming Busan, South Korea gig.

Scheduled for June 13 — BTS’ official anniversary date — at the Busan Asiad Municipal Stadium, BTS World Tour ‘Arirang’ in Busan: Live Viewing will screen live globally via the Trafalgar Releasing event.


Tickets for the event go on sale May 28. More information, including which theaters are participating, will be available at the BTS Live Viewing site.

The gig marks the Rolling Stone cover story stars’ first show at their home stadium since 2022, with the group returning to the venue following their mandatory military service.

“We’re proud to continue our role in BTS’ comeback of the decade with this live viewing from Busan,” Trafalgar CEO Marc Allenby said in a statement. “Marking the anniversary of the group’s debut, this special day gives fans across the globe a chance to celebrate, wherever they may be. Together with our exhibition partners, we’re excited to make this event truly unmissable.”

BTS are in the midst of the North American leg of their Arirang world tour, which concludes next week with a four-night stand at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium. After that, BTS will perform two shows in Busan before embarking on a European leg beginning in late June. Another North American leg kicks off Aug. 1 with two nights at East Rutherford, New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium and wraps in early September after four shows at Inglewood, California’s SoFi Stadium.

The Arirang world tour in support of BTS’ latest album is currently set to run through March 14.

Talking Heads Reunite for Coffee-Table Book

You may find yourself sitting in a large video studio. And you may find yourself sitting next to people you haven’t made music with in more than 40 years. And you may ask yourself, “How did I get here?” And you may find yourself announcing a book you created with the three other musicians you hadn’t worked with in more than 40 years. Here comes the twist(er): The four members of Talking Heads announced on Wednesday that they’ve collaborated on an upcoming book, Talking Heads: New Feeling, out May 18.

All four members of the quartet sat in the round to explain what New Feeling was about in a reel for publisher Abrams Books’ Instagram. Bassist Tina Weymouth acknowledged the uniqueness of the four musicians coming together “to write and curate the comprehensive coffee-table book” about the band. Singer-guitarist David Byrne noted that the release date coincides with the 50th anniversary of their debut LP, Talking Heads: 77.

The Grammy for Producer of the Year, Non-Classical, Will Go to the Best Storyteller

Leading up to the Grammy nominations on Nov. 16, “Rolling Stone” is breaking down 11 different categories. For each, we’re predicting the nominees, as well as who will (and who should) win on Grammy night.

For someone to claim the Grammy for Producer of the Year, Non-Classical, they need to have scored commercial hits or a big album. They also need to wow voters with the story behind the making of an album, according to Cecilia Winter, Editorial Lead of Global Hits at Spotify. “Often the people who win are people who have pulled back the curtain a little bit on their working relationship with the artists that they produced in the eligibility period,” she tells Rolling Stone. “The folks who close themselves off a little bit more maybe don’t always have the same degree of success.”

Brad Paisley Calls William Shatner’s New Spoken-Word Album an ‘Amazing Lesson’

Brad Paisley has been palling around with William Shatner for more than two decades. The Star Trek actor made a memorable cameo in Paisley’s 2003 video for “Celebrity,” playing an acerbic Simon Cowell-like reality-show judge, and the pair have continued to collaborate in music videos. Most recently, they teamed up in the studio: Paisley co-produced Shatner’s new spoken-word album, Love & Other Mysteries. It’s a callback to Shatner’s 1968 LP The Transformed Man, and its cover art even nods to that beloved cult classic.

But, Paisley stresses, it’s not a joke. “It’s not gimmicky at all. He means everything he’s saying,” the country music singer-guitarist tells Rolling Stone’s Nashville Now podcast. “Bill is so willing to be all things when it comes to being interesting. He’ doing a heavy-metal thing right now. He’s happy to attempt anything, and it’s an amazing lesson for all of us, at 95.”
