Lollapalooza is back this weekend, and if you can't make it to Chicago, Hulu’s got you covered—they’re the only place streaming the festival live. Catch headliners like Olivia Rodrigo, Tyler, the Creator, and Sabrina Carpenter from July 31 to August 3, with daily coverage starting at 2 p.m. PT.

Editor’s Note: For music fans who can’t snag tickets or travel to Grant Park, this is a big deal. Hulu’s exclusive stream means you won’t miss out on the performances, and with a stacked lineup, it’s a win for anyone who wants front-row access from their couch. Plus, it’s another sign of how live music is adapting to the digital age.

Josh Gad, who was set to play King Herod in the Hollywood Bowl’s Jesus Christ Superstar concert, has pulled out after testing positive for COVID-19. Just days before the show’s Friday opening, the actor shared the news on Instagram, calling the production "one of the greatest" while expressing his disappointment.

Editor’s Note: It’s another reminder of how COVID-19 continues to disrupt live performances, even as the industry tries to bounce back. For fans, it’s a bummer—Gad’s comedic flair would’ve been a highlight. But with last-minute replacements being a Broadway and concert staple, the show will go on (just not with him).

Rising regional Mexican star Junior H is hitting the road in the U.S. with his $ad Boyz Live & Broken Tour—and if you’re a fan of his moody corridos tumbados, you’ll want to grab tickets fast. The announcement gives fans the lowdown on how to snag seats before they’re gone.

Editor’s Note: Junior H’s tour is a big deal for fans of the genre, blending raw emotion with regional Mexican sounds. It’s not just a concert; it’s a cultural moment for a growing movement in Latin music. If you’ve been vibing with his melancholic hits, now’s your chance to catch him live.

Singer-songwriter JP Saxe made an unusually candid plea to fans, admitting his upcoming tour is in serious jeopardy unless ticket sales pick up fast. In a raw Instagram post, he confessed he’s "extremely embarrassed" but laid it bare: if 20,000 more tickets don’t sell in 48 hours, the whole tour gets scrapped. No sugarcoating—just the harsh reality of today’s live music grind.

Editor’s Note: Tour cancellations aren’t new, but artists rarely spell out the financial math this transparently. Saxe’s honesty highlights how brutal the post-pandemic concert economy is for mid-tier acts—even Grammy-nominated ones. It’s a wake-up call about fan engagement, rising tour costs, and the pressure to "make it work" in an oversaturated market. For musicians and fans alike, it’s a tough reminder that live music isn’t just art—it’s a business on the brink.
