Soundcheck Recap: Zara Larsson, The Weeknd, And More!

Picture The Last Dinner Party (and no, not just the band—though we are fully, unashamedly obsessed with their tracks this week). Imagine yourself sitting under the Midnight Sun, Zara Larsson supplying the heat lamps with her radiant energy. There’s a dash of throwback magic courtesy of Ashlee Simpson, tugging us straight into our early-2000s nostalgia, while someone inevitably kicks off the eternal debate: is ‘Fake Plastic Trees’ truly Radiohead’s best song, or are we all just pretending to agree to keep the peace? Yep, it’s that kind of dinner party: a little chaotic, a little sentimental, and a lot of fun. Keep scrolling—we’ve got the RSVP links ready, and trust us, you’ll want a seat at this table.

Our blonde-streaked Midnight Sun herself, Zara Larsson, is stepping into the spotlight with a massive 30-date global tour—timed, naturally, to catch those perfect rays across America, Europe, and Australia. She’ll launch things in style on February 28, 2026, at Portland’s chic Crystal Ballroom. Think of it as a full-circle glow-up: instead of opening for Tate McRae, she’s trading places and headlining her own show, with Amelia Moore along for the ride across her North American run.

From there, Zara touches down in Europe on October 28 before packing her bags for Australia, where she’ll slip back into opener mode for OneRepublic between February 4 and 18. Tickets for her very own headline tour are officially live—click quick, before the FOMO burns hotter than a midsummer heat rash.

Radiohead

Euro Radiohead fans, rejoice—you won’t have to settle for listening to the band on the radio much longer. Cue the TikTok-worthy transition: suddenly, they’re right there in front of you this November and December. With 20 shows lined up, expect pins to drop in Madrid, Bologna, London, Copenhagen, and Berlin (ring lights optional, but recommended).

To snag those golden tickets, registration is only available via Radiohead’s official site—and the clock is ticking. Sign-ups close this Sunday, September 7, at 10 p.m. BST / 11 p.m. CEST. Actual tickets will then go live on September 12. Consider this your gentle nudge before the algorithm forgets you.

The Last Dinner Party

The Last Dinner Party are firing up the pans and polishing the silverware, because their UK/Ireland run is about to be served piping hot (menu below). Once the locals have had their fill, the band will jet off to Australia this January to treat an international crowd to the main course, before finishing with a decadent European dessert spread from February through early March—no stained serviettes, just champagne-soaked encores.

Your invite lands Friday, September 12, but superfans who pre-order The Pyre (out October 17) will get first dibs with a presale amuse-bouche. Don’t wait until the plates are cleared—pull up a chair before this feast of a tour is fully booked.

Ashlee Simpson

Vegas still can’t get enough of Ashlee Simpson’s ‘La La.’ The early-2000s icon (with big sis Jessica spotted cheering from the crowd) just wrapped a sold-out weekend at her residency inside The Venetian Resort. Fans even got to jump on stage for ‘Boys,’ turning the whole thing into one giant throwback slumber party. The good news? The curtain hasn’t dropped yet. Ashlee’s sticking around for encores on the 19th, 20th, 24th, 26th, and 27th of this month. Consider this your nudge to grab tickets before they vanish faster than a flip phone ringtone.

The Weeknd

It’s full-blown After Hours Til Dawn mayhem—because let’s be honest, we’re all still ‘Starboys’ for The Weeknd. He’s turning his record-breaking stadium tour into a globe-spanning frenzy, adding a fresh run across Latin America with Anitta in tow before leaping over to Europe with Playboi Carti. The madness begins Monday, April 20, in Mexico City and winds down August 29 in Madrid.

When it comes to tickets, the artist presale launches Monday at 10 a.m. local for Mexico and Brazil, with the UK following on Tuesday at 12 p.m. local. General sales open on Wednesday for Brazil and Mexico, and on Friday for the UK. Nespresso cardholders can grab an early pour in the UK on Thursday at noon, while Mastercard members get their own premium presale for Paris, Stockholm, Milan, and Dublin on Tuesday at 2 p.m. local.

Translation: set those alarms, secure those codes, and brace yourself—because these tickets are going to disappear faster than a late-night espresso shot.
