ZAYN Is Taking KONNAKOL on the Road

Posted on February 5, 2026 by admin

The singer just announced The KONNAKOL Tour, a 31-date run that will take him across the UK, North America, South America, and Mexico. It’s his largest solo tour to date and the first time he’s headlining arenas and stadiums on this scale.

The tour kicks off May 12 in Manchester and stretches through November, wrapping in Miami. Stops include London, Los Angeles, Mexico City, and São Paulo, among others. It follows his recent Las Vegas residency, where he quietly tested out unreleased material from KONNAKOL and reminded people how strong his live presence still is.

The timing isn’t accidental. ZAYN’s fifth studio album, KONNAKOL, arrives April 17, and its lead single, “Die For Me,” drops tomorrow. The project leans into broader cultural influences while circling back to the melodic instincts that defined Mind of Mine. It feels less like a reset and more like a sharpening. This tour also lands after a steady run over the past year. Room Under the Stairs earned strong reviews, and his collaboration with BLACKPINK’s Jisoo, “Eyes Closed,” performed well globally and picked up a 2026 iHeartRadio Music Award nomination.

Tickets go on sale February 13, with presales starting earlier in the week. See here for more information.

Broken English co-directors Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard

Broken English co-directors Iain Forsyth and Jane PollardBroken English made its Sundance Film Festival debut on Sunday, January 25, with a Spotlight screening at Eccles Theatre in Park City. The North American premiere was preceded by a red carpet press line, where filmmakers, producers, and performers gathered ahead of the evening’s screening.

Directed by Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard, Broken English is a documentary portrait of singer, songwriter, and cultural icon Marianne Faithfull. The film blends archival material, staged sequences, and performance, presenting Faithfull’s life and career through a stylized and unconventional lens rather than a traditional retrospective format.

Forsyth and Pollard attended the red carpet alongside producer Beth Earl and executive producers Victoria Steventon, Julia Xu, Julia Stier, and Miranda Bailey. Performers Norah Jones and Rufus Wainwright were also present ahead of their post-screening tribute performances, which followed the film’s premiere and added a live element to the evening’s celebration.

The Sundance appearance follows the film’s earlier world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival. At Sundance, Broken English screened as part of the festival’s Spotlight section and was presented in person only, drawing a full house and a noticeably attentive crowd.

The night felt less like a standard documentary premiere and more like a shared moment of remembrance, fitting for a film centered on legacy, memory, and artistic refusal to conform.

Pitbull Brings the Party Back to North America with Lil Jon on ‘I’m Back’ Tour

Posted on January 19, 2026 by admin

Pitbull is heading back out on the road across North America with a new tour fittingly titled I’m Back, and he’s bringing Lil Jon along for the ride. The run marks one of his biggest regional outings yet, leaning fully into the high-energy, crowd-first approach that’s defined his live shows for years.

The tour kicks off May 14 in West Palm Beach, Florida, and stretches through the summer, hitting major amphitheaters and stadiums across the U.S. and Canada before wrapping up in late September. Stops include venues like the Hollywood Bowl, Hersheypark Stadium, and Jones Beach, among others.

Pitbull’s live reputation has been built on consistency and scale, his tours regularly rank among the highest-grossing, and his last run, Party After Dark, was the biggest solo tour of his career. Adding Lil Jon to the lineup signals a clear direction for this tour: loud, familiar, and unapologetically built for mass participation.

The North American dates follow a large Europe and UK leg, continuing a touring strategy that keeps Pitbull firmly in the global live circuit nearly two decades into his career.
