If you’re bummed you missed out on tickets for BTS‘ upcoming Arirang world tour, you’re in luck. Two of the concerts will be streamed live in theaters around the globe.

BTS World Tour ‘Arirang’ Live Viewing will take place in April, with shows in Goyang, South Korea (April 11), and Tokyo (April 18). Tickets go on sale Wednesday, Feb. 25.

“Trafalgar Releasing is very proud to bring one of the year’s most significant cultural moments to cinema audiences worldwide,” Marc Allenby, Trafalgar’s Chief Executive Officer, said in a statement. “Presenting two full-length concerts from Goyang and Tokyo, these events offer audiences around the world the opportunity to come together and experience the tour on the big screen.”

The feverishly anticipated Arirang world tour, named after their upcoming album, Arirang, spans 34 cities and 82 shows, kicking off in Goyang on April 9. They’ll hit cities in the U.S. — from Tampa, Florida, to Chicago — as well as various countries. The trek wraps on March 14 in Manila.

Arirang marks the group’s first release since 2020’s Map of the Soul: 7, and it arrives on March 3. In addition to the livestreamed concerts, they’ll also release a live comeback performance and documentary. According to BTS, the album title derives from a traditional Korean folk song.

“Drawing on the emotional depth of ‘Arirang’— its sense of yearning, longing, and the ebb and flow of life, the band ultimately chose the title for its strong resonance with their current journey,” they explained in a press release. “The new release explores universal emotions of longing and love and will resonate with the worldwide audience as a timeless legacy across generations and cultures.”

Billy Ray Cyrus Reveals He Suffered Temporary Vocal Paralysis After a Near-Fatal Battle With Sepsis

Billy Ray Cyrus has a lot to celebrate with his new album, The Hill, arriving on June 16, but he had other hills to conquer, including a health crisis, before reaching this point. In a new interview, he revealed that he suffered a near-fatal experience with sepsis in 2024. He noted how the health crisis led to a subsequent diagnosis of temporary vocal paralysis.

In his interview with People, Cyrus didn’t disclose too many details about the health scare, but said he was diagnosed with the condition back in 2024 and consequently faced vocal paralysis, describing the bout as a “very broken moment of my life.” He called his bounce-back a “miracle” crediting his grandson Bear (the 5-year-old son of Braison Cyrus) for helping him see the light in a dark time.

The Menzingers Are Done Living in the Past

The Menzingers were getting fired up over a couple of beers, talking about their new album when the topic of where to record came up. There were legendary studios and cities, like Los Angeles, that they had never worked in. Then they had one idea: What if they recorded right in South Philly, the neighborhood they’ve lived in for 20 years? Sure, they’ve made albums in Philadelphia before, at studios in Fishtown and nearby suburb Conshohocken, but for their ninth studio LP, Everything I Ever Saw, they kept everything right in their backyard at producer Will Yip’s newly built studio.

‘Billboard’ Charts Definitively Prove Everybody Loves Paul McCartney

Paul McCartney‘s latest solo album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane, has landed here, there, and everywhere on Billboard‘s latest chart returns, mostly at Number One. While the LP, which contains the singles “Days We Left Behind” and “Home to Us,” bowed at Number Five on the Billboard 200, which tabulates an album’s popularity with a combination of sales and “album-equivalent” streaming units, the trade mag reports that it landed at Number One on its Top Album Sales, Vinyl Albums, and Indie Store Album Sales charts.

McCartney managed this week’s feat by earning 63,000 album equivalent units in the U.S. for the week ending June 4, Billboard reports. The album’s sales, meanwhile, reached 59,500, of which 32,000 were vinyl records.

Sharon Osbourne Says AI Ozzy Is Not a Cash Grab: ‘I Don’t Need Your F—ing Money’

Sharon Osbourne responded to criticism that the development of an AI version of Ozzy Osbourne is about the money. Speaking on the latest episode of The Osbournes podcast, Sharon addressed claims that the family is taking advantage of new technology as a “cash grab.”

On the episode, Sharon and Jack Osbourne described the AI avatar of Ozzy as a technological advancement, noting that if they don’t do it someone else will. Jack added that it’s a “closed AI module” that is not connected to the Internet. “Someone said, ‘It’s dangerous, you can’t control,'” he recounted. “And I was like, ‘What the fuck do you think this? Terminator?’ You think this is going to go sentient and the next thing you know Ozzy is going to launch the nukes?”
