Osheaga 2025 démarre fort avec une première journée sans temps mort

L’édition 2025 du festival Osheaga a démarré sur les chapeaux de roue, portée par une programmation résolument éclectique. Entre James Hype, Luidji, Lucy Dacus et Barry Can’t Swim, l’heure n’était clairement pas aux temps morts.

Parmi les moments les plus mémorables, on compte le tout premier Osheaga du groupe français La Femme, que le public montréalais a accueilli avec une ferveur prouvant leur marque indélébile d’un coin à l’autre de la francophonie. Sans surprise, Dominic Fike a également livré un set maîtrisé, langoureux et fidèle à sa signature. The Killers, eux, n’ont pas attendu pour plonger dans le dur : Mr. Brightside en ouverture, pour mettre la foule d’accord d’emblée. Et comme si cela ne suffisait pas, Lucy Dacus est également venue les rejoindre par surprise pour interpréter Read My Mind.


À quelques pas de là, Jorja Smith a enchaîné ses classiques sans faiblir, devant une foule qui lui a renvoyé chaque note et chaque souffle, jusqu’à l’unisson parfait de Little Things.

Mais celle qui a redéfini le tempo de la soirée est indiscutablement Doechii. En popstar née totale, sa fidèle complice DJ Miss Milan derrière les platines, ce qu’elle a offert au public plein à craquer tient moins de la performance chantée que du moment de grâce férocement artistique. De l’imparable Anxiety à des morceaux plus confidentiels comme Slide, en passant par un Persuasive intemporel, la chanteuse couronnée de trois Grammys a maintenu une intensité remarquable que le public a bu jusqu’à la toute dernière goutte.

Pas même un trépied de micro têtu en début de set n’a réussi à ruiner le moment.

Un départ aussi corsé pourrait laisser craindre un essoufflement sur les deux jours suivants... jusqu’à ce que l’on se rappelle de ce qui nous attend rien que pour la journée de samedi : Tyler, The Creator, Shaboozey, Gracie Abrams, The Chainsmokers. Osheaga n’a clairement pas tiré sa dernière carte.

Sabrina Carpenter Granted 5-Year Restraining Order After Alleged Stalker Gives Chilling Testimony

A Los Angeles judge granted pop star Sabrina Carpenter a five-year restraining order against a man who, testifying in court on Wednesday, claimed he is part of a “classified military government program” along with the singer.

Speaking in a deep, monotone voice, William Applegate said he had been recruited to the program at a local Los Angeles hotel, that his mission involved “the second coming of Christ,” and that he had to contact Carpenter to save the world.

‘Widow’s Bay’ Director Hiro Murai Breaks Down Season 1

Over the course of its just-concluded first season, Widow’s Bay has become an undeniable hit. The Apple TV series, created by Katie Dippold, reimagines nostalgic horror tropes in the guise of a comedy, almost like if Stephen King rewrote Parks and Recreation. It references everything from King’s canon to Jaws, John Carpenter, and A Clockwork Orange while also upending genre expectations and clichés. For Hiro Murai, executive produced Season One and directed five of its 10 episodes, the show feels singular in its ambition.

“There wasn’t an exact comp,” Murai says. “We wanted to make a workplace comedy with a classic sitcom structure, but give it real stakes, and then ramp that up into a horror space. We really swung for the fences. We wanted it to feel unique and like something you haven’t seen before. All of it was a precarious dance. We made choices that might not have worked, but it feels like we got to a place where people would buy it dramatically but we could also push it.”

‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Has a Brand New Trailer, and Spidey Is Freaking Out

The first trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day became the most-viewed trailer in 24 hours ever this past March, and now producers are starting over from scratch with a new glimpse at Tom Holland’s fourth venture into the Spiderverse, which opens July 31. The hooks this time include Spider-Man spinning out of control, Peter Parker asking Bruce Banner how to suppress his mutations, the Incredible Hulk hulking out incredibly, and, most horrifically, New York City skyscrapers crumbling outward.

In the trailer’s final scene, a group of what look like SWAT officers have Spider-Man surrounded and he stuns them by saying he needed to take a minute to stretch. “I’m not in high school anymore,” he quips. “Do you stretch? Are you a big stretcher? It’s so good for you.” Then of course he shows them what he’s made of.

The Rolling Stones Continue Their Late-Career Winning Streak With ‘Foreign Tongues’

On “Divine Intervention,” a cheery song about ignoring the apocalypse from the Rolling Stones‘ upcoming 25th album, Mick Jagger confesses he once worried enough about end times to consult a Hollywood psychic. “Through the gloom, I asked her, ‘What’s my future?’/Well, she threw up,” he whines over Some Girls-style guitar boogie. Jagger’s message in the chorus is that even when the world is ending, “Dystopian values are too hot to handle, and I’m going out in a blaze.” Now that’s more like it.

After all, the guy who sang both “Time Is on My Side” and “Time Waits for No One” — the guy who once said he’d rather be dead than sing “Satisfaction” at 45 — never seemed to care all that much about the future, anyway. Jagger, who will turn 83 shortly after the album’s July 10 release date, has always sung about living in the present. In the Sixties, when Paul McCartney was elegantly mourning a breakup on “Yesterday,” Jagger was hectoring “Yesterday’s Papers” at his ex. And where Macca’s excellent new album found him reminiscing about The Boys of Dungeon Lane, the Boys of Dartford Station are more interested in foreign affairs.
