North West is set to make her Toronto debut as a headlining artist this summer.

The 12-year-old musician has announced the Molly x North Kimokawaii Tour, a co-headlining North American run with rapper Molly Santana. The tour begins in early August and includes a stop at Toronto's Rebel on August 17, marking North West's only currently announced Canadian date. The tour arrives just months after the release of N0rth4evr, North West's self-produced debut EP.

She has also produced for other artists in the last year. Last summer, she was spotted backstage at Osheaga in Montréal, where she spent time with BKTHERULA during the festival.

Joining her on the tour is Molly Santana, whose profile has continued to rise through a string of independent releases and a recent appearance on Drake's track Ran to Atlanta. The pair also performed at Chicago's Summer Smash festival this past weekend before unveiling the tour dates.

Beyond Toronto, the tour will visit cities including Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles throughout August.

Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Famous Guest Drummers Honor Neil Peart in New Documentary

A new documentary about the late Neil Peart, Rush’s drummer and lyricist, will debut on Canada’s CBC network Sept. 23. Neil Peart: No One’s Disciple will tell Peart’s life story, and it will also feature interviews with Rush co-founders Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson, as well with a crew of legendary drummers talking about his influence.

Also for the documentary, Lee and Lifeson filmed rehearsal hall performances of classic Rush songs with some well-known guest drummers, including the Police’s Stewart Copeland, the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Chad Smith, and Tool’s Danny Carey. The pair previously played with Smith and Carey at a Taylor Hawkins tribute concert in 2022, but had never before performed with Copeland, who was close friends with Peart.

Four Music Publications Lose Editorial Teams as Veeps Restructures Media Division

Veeps, the livestreaming platform founded by Good Charlotte’s Joel and Benji Madden and now majority-owned by Live Nation Entertainment, has reportedly eliminated much of the editorial staff behind Alternative Press, BrooklynVegan, Revolver and Goldmine, marking another major shift in the increasingly fragile music media landscape.

The four publications remain online, but their editorial teams and regular contributors have largely departed, bringing an end to the day-to-day operations that shaped their coverage and communities over the years.

Toronto Gets Ready for Rush Day 2026 as the Band Comes Home

Rush fans will have an entire weekend to celebrate the return of one of Canada’s most influential rock bands as Toronto prepares for Rush Day 2026, a three-day gathering honouring the group’s music, history and enduring legacy.

Taking place from August 7 to 9 at Henderson Brewing Company, the celebration coincides with Rush’s long-awaited return to the stage in their hometown. The band’s 2026 Fifty Something tour marks a new chapter for Rush, with Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson performing together again following the end of their touring career in 2015 and the passing of legendary drummer and lyricist Neil Peart in 2020.

Weezer Go Back in Time for ‘C.E.O.’ Music Video

Weezer gathered a slew of guest stars for the raucous video for their new single “C.E.O.” The band, who will unveil their 20th studio LP, Weezer, on Aug. 21, enlisted Tony Hawk, Curry Barker, Dax Flame, Chit, Rob Riggle, Rob Huebel, Michael Peña, Giovanni Ribisi, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse.

The meta clip pays homage to their classic 1994 video for “Undone (The Sweater Song).” Huebel and Riggle play a pair of stereotypical CEOs watching Weezer shoot a music video in front of a gold backdrop, instead of the original blue. Frontman Rivers Cuomo complains about being stuck in the past, telling them, “We’ve done this before.” The band quits when the director releases a swarm of bees onto the set (the original clip featured dogs), only to be replaced by look-alikes.
