Hangout Music Fest is in full swing this weekend in Gulf Shores, Alabama, and we’ve got the five acts you can’t afford to miss today–plus some awesome photos from the festival and exclusive behind-the-scenes video with the bands.
We’ve been obsessing over Gin Wigmore‘s Gravel & Wine since it dropped in the U.S. at the beginning of April, but it looks like we have some catching up to do. Wigmore fans have been rocking her sophomore set list since 2011 when the album first dropped in Gin’s native New Zealand. Read more…
Today, the 58th annual Eurovision Song Contest takes place in Malmo, Sweden and the world (or all of Europe) will be watching.
So what are the rules? Honestly, I’m still trying to figure them all out. As far as I can tell it’s a combination of American Idol and The Hunger Games (the five nations who give the most money to the event get preferential treatment and automatically make the finals), but set in Europe. Read more…
After My Morning Jacket frontman Jim James took us on a psychedelic journey with his mystic solo set at SXSW back in March, we were expecting greatness from our favorite purple three-piece-suit wearing rocker at Hangout Music Fest. Well, be careful what you wish for, because J.J. blew our freaking minds during his set on day one of the three-day Gulf Shores, Alabama festival. Read more…
Elle King has mad water slide skills, you guys! We should know, because we’ve been putting our favorite bluesy banjo rocker through the ringer testing the rides. She’s clearly enjoying all Hangout Music Festival has to offer, and you can too! Read more…
George Michael gets hospitalized, John Mayer talks with the illustrator of his latest album’s cover, and the 2013 Hangout Music Fest is upon us.
Earlier this week, we shared the rampant rumors that Beyonce was pregnant with her second child. Today, Eonline has confirmed through sources close to the singer that she and Jay-Z are indeed expecting another baby.
Last night, 23-year-old soul singer Candice Glover became the twelfth winner of American Idol. She narrowly beat out 22-year-old country crooner Kree Harrison and previous favorites, and pop voices, Angie Miller and Amber Holcomb to the crown.
Demi Lovato‘s new album, the self-titled Demi, dropped earlier this week. Bolstered by the strong performance of the LP’s first single, “Heart Attack,” the record will battle Vampire Weekend’s latest, Modern Vampires Of The City, for the top spot on the charts next week. The Lovatics have been going gaga for the racy cover, which VH1 News asked Demi about when she popped by our office recently.
VH1′s very own Model Employee host Chrissy Teigen has just signed on to be our model correspondent on the sandy beaches of Gulf Shores, Alabama. Chrissy will be joining Jersey Shore‘s Vinny Guadagnino, Miss Alabama USA Katherine Webb and many more as part of our attractive elite team of eyes and ears on the ground at Hangout Music Festival May 17-19.
