Lewis Capaldi is making waves with his new single, sparking rumors that he’ll be hitting the stage at Glastonbury for his big live comeback. Fans are buzzing—this could be his triumphant return after a break.

Glastonbury Festival is kicking off with a bang, and The Guardian’s liveblog is your backstage pass to all the action. Today’s highlights include electrifying sets from Lorde, Wet Leg, and the much-hyped CMAT, whose Pyramid Stage performance is already being called a defining moment of the summer. Plus, keep an eye out for surprise secret sets and the usual festival weirdness.

Ever wondered how Glastonbury Festival manages to make millions of people feel like they’re front-row at Worthy Farm, even if they’re watching from their couch? This piece peels back the curtain on the tech, logistics, and sheer effort that goes into broadcasting the iconic festival globally—so fans everywhere get the best "seat" in the house.

HBO is giving fans of The Comeback one last hurrah—the cult-favorite comedy, starring Lisa Kudrow as the hilariously cringe-worthy Valerie Cherish, is returning for a third and final season. This revival lands on the show’s 20th anniversary, over a decade after its last season, and feels like a rare gift for its devoted (if niche) fanbase.

Editor’s Note: For a show that was famously canceled twice, this is a surprising and satisfying victory lap. The Comeback wasn’t a ratings juggernaut, but its sharp satire of Hollywood ego and desperation earned a fiercely loyal following. HBO’s decision to wrap it up properly—rather than leave it in limbo—shows respect for both the creators and the fans who kept it alive. Plus, Kudrow’s Valerie Cherish remains one of TV’s most tragically funny characters—seeing her flail through one last round of industry absurdity should be a treat.

Two icons from very different worlds—hip-hop legend LL Cool J and football superstar Peyton Manning—are joining forces for a new docuseries called Hip Hop Was Born Here. The show dives into the roots of hip-hop in New York City, with LL Cool J hosting and both stars co-creating. The five-episode first season drops on Paramount+ on July 22.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another music doc—it’s a cultural deep dive with an unexpected pairing that could bring fresh eyes to hip-hop’s legacy. Manning’s involvement might pull in sports fans who wouldn’t normally tune in, while LL Cool J’s authenticity keeps it grounded. For Paramount+, it’s a smart play to blend nostalgia with star power.
