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.

How Much Did Taylor Swift’s Wedding to Travis Kelce Cost?

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce just celebrated their wedding with a blowout party at Madison Square Garden. New details suggest that the ultraexclusive event included 1,000 guests, star-studded musical performances, big-ticket prizes, and even caviar-topped chicken nuggets. It seems the power couple went all out to celebrate their love story, so what is the final price tag on the wedding of the century?

Well, it’s hard to come to an actual estimate without concrete pictures from inside of the Garden, and no official details have been released in regards to the cost of the wedding. Lindsay Landman, a luxury event planner with more than 20 years of experience in the sector, suggests a total that lands somewhere within the range of $20 to $25 million. Estimates have not been confirmed by either Swift or Kelce. Days before their nuptials, the couple also notably donated a generous gift of $26 million across 20 charities in the U.S.

If You See Black Sabbath’s Bill Ward in a Wheelchair, You Should Smile at Him: ‘I’m OK’

Don’t worry about Bill Ward, he’s doing just fine. The Black Sabbath drummer, 78, issued an update via social media on Thursday informing fans that if they see him out and about in a wheelchair, well, that’s just being 78. Nothing to worry about.

“I’ve reached a place where publicly more and more I need to use a wheelchair, mostly in airports, or public events,” he wrote on Instagram. “I can still walk, let there be no doubt, but I can’t walk very far without needing to rest, meaning I need to sit down.”

Radiohead’s Ed O’Brien Shares Spectral New Song ‘Abbeycwmhir’

Radiohead guitarist Ed O’Brien has finally released his spectral song, “Abbeycwmhir,” which was previously only available on an exclusive seven-inch vinyl. The song arrives two months after the release of O’Brien’s sophomore solo record Blue Morpho.

“Abbeycwmhir” takes its name from a village in Powys, Wales, the Welsh translating to “Abbey in the Long Valley” in English. The brooding, ambient track opens with a chorus of ghostly layered voices as O’Brien’s guitar breaks through a cloud ambient swirls and flourishes.

The Rolling Stones are gearing up to release their new album Foreign Tongues, their 25th LP arriving on Friday, and ahead of its release, Mick Jagger and Ronnie Wood appeared at an event in London where they previewed “Ringing Hollow” live.

In the clip the band shared on Instagram, Jagger, Wood, and keyboardist Matt Clifford perform the song acoustically in what looked to be an intimate gathering. “So this just happened in London…,” reads the caption to the clip. “Mick and Ronnie have surprised guests at a special event, with a performance of Ringing Hollow, from the new album Foreign Tongues – out this Friday!,” It’s unclear where the event took place in London or why Keith Richards is not performing in the video, but Jagger and Wood were photographed at an album launch event at St. Clement Hotel in London on Wednesday, where their performance likely took place.
