BTS have some more surprises in store for this year’s BTS Festa, their annual anniversary celebration. In time with the occasion, the supergroup has announced an upcoming slate of book releases publishing in partnership with Hachette Book Group’s Running Press, CAKE Corp, and BigHit Music.
On Sept. 15, BTS will release the officially licensed title BTS Lyrics Inside, in which RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook will dissect the songwriting across their catalog. Songs from Proof and Most Beautiful Moments in Life will be broken down to explore their deeper meanings and underlying messages.
The collection will dive into everything from “Boy With Luv,” their 2019 collaboration with Halsey, as well as “Life Goes On, “Magic Shop, “Spring Day,” “Yet to Come,” “We Are Bulletproof : the Eternal,” and more. The lyrics will be presented in their original language alongside English translations for ARMY members hoping to study and analyze the records on a deeper level.
In tandem, BTS will release the BTS Recipe Book cookbook drawing inspiration from the group’s album eras to craft recipes of flavorful Korean dishes. The lineup includes scorched rice crackers, carp bread, sugar-filled griddlecakes, Korean fried chicken, simmered rice cakes, ginseng chicken soup, braised beef ribs, and more.
While these BTS projects will live on the page, they will also expand online. BTS Recipe Book, in particular, will include digital codes that will allow ARMY to access exclusive videos connected to the book, as well as tips for bringing the dishes to life and food commentary from the group members. Some may seem familiar from when they appeared on the menu for the series RUN BTS!, Bon Voyage, and In the Soop.
“BTS is a global force, and we couldn’t be more excited to partner with CAKE to bring these unique, thoughtful books to their dedicated and discerning fanbase,” said Shannon Fabricant, Vice President, Publisher of Running Press, in a statement. “Being able to deliver these inside perspectives on the band’s music, preferences, experiences, and more during what is already an extraordinary year for BTS is especially gratifying.”
Seok Kyo Jeong, Vice President at CAKE, added, “Our mission at CAKE is to help fans deeply connect with their favorite artists by breaking down language and cultural boundaries. By combining our unique K-pop-based content — which continues the educational DNA of HYBE EDU — with Running Press’s exceptional publishing expertise, we are thrilled to offer ARMY a more immersive and meaningful way to experience BTS.”
There’s more to come. BTS’ publishing partnership will extend through 2027 with additional releases on the horizon. Order the book online here.
The noise rockers will play at an unannounced venue in Central London on Sunday (June 14)
YHWH Nailgun have surprise-released the 11-minute album ‘Magazine’ and announced a secret pop-up London show for this weekend.
The New York-based noise rock group released their attention-grabbing debut record ‘45 Pounds’ in March last year, a record that went on to be named as one of NME’s best albums of the year.
Described as “less like a conventional album than a fragment pulled from an endless transmission”, the record sees the band continue to explore the furthest reaches of no-wave and experimental alternative rock, with complex rhythms, industrial percussion, alien sound sampling and wild, deranged vocals from Zack Borzone.
Listen to ‘Magazine’ here:
To celebrate the album’s release, YHWH Nailgun will be playing a free show in Central London on Sunday afternoon (June 14), although the venue has not yet been named. The show is being hosted by NTS Radio and fans of the band can find out more and sign up to attend here.
The band are also playing at End Of The Road Festival on September 3, and have a run of UK dates leading up to that. Find any remaining tickets for those here.

29 – London, Rally Festival

The group spoke to NME about their songwriting process last year. “Sometimes you can find you’re trying to say something without knowing what it is that you’re trying to say. It’s not a controlled thing,” frontman Zack Borzone said.
Drummer Sam Pickard added: “It’s like a chicken and egg. You assign certain words or symbols or whatever to the music, but you don’t know which one’s informing the other one.”
Hailing ‘45 Pounds’, NME wrote: “YHWH Nailgun, by their own admission, aren’t for everyone. For those adventurous enough to explore indie’s outer reaches, however, ‘45 Pounds’ was one of 2025’s most entrancing, addictive listens. A writhing, genre-defiant 21-minute shapeshift with an unrelenting percussive drive, it presents propulsive, progressive ideas so crazy they just might work.”
Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau have made their first official red carpet appearance as a couple.
The Eye of the Tiger singer and the former Canadian Prime Minister attended the 2026 Tribeca Film Festival together for the premiere of Perry’s concert film, Katy Perry: The Lifetimes Tour - Live In Paris.
The pair arrived at the BMCC Theatre in New York City on the evening of Monday 8 June, where they were seen smiling for photographers and exchanging affectionate looks throughout the event.
Their red carpet debut comes almost a year after dating rumours first surfaced when they were spotted having dinner together in Montreal in July 2025.
Perry and Trudeau’s relationship quickly drew worldwide attention, moving from an early public outing to a confirmed romance that has since included international travel and appearances at major cultural events. Trudeau was previously married to Sophie Grégoire, with the couple announcing their separation after 18 years of marriage in August 2023.
Orlando Bloom, Perry’s former partner, confirmed the end of his nine year relationship and engagement with the singer in June 2025, with the pair stating they would focus on co parenting their daughter, Daisy.
The premiere of Katy Perry: The Lifetimes Tour - Live In Paris marked the film’s official debut at Tribeca, and the evening also included a post screening conversation with Perry reflecting on the project.
Pop star Perrie Edwards has shared one of her most honest accounts yet of her past relationship with former One Direction member Zayn Malik, opening up about the emotional aftermath of their very public breakup. During an appearance on Jamie Laing’s Great Company podcast, the former Little Mix singer reflected on the difficult period and confirmed for the first time that there was some overlap involved when the relationship ended.
"I need to be careful how I say this, but there was, let's just say there was a bit of a, I'm just going to say it. So there was a bit of an overlap," Edwards revealed. Speaking about how the split affected her, she explained how painful it was to feel like she had been left behind. "I think when you're moving on with somebody else, you always get on better. When you're the one left behind, that's when it's hard. Because it's like, oh shit, they've left me for someone more beautiful than me, someone better than me. Whatever it is, that's how it felt at the time."
The situation became even harder as events continued to unfold in the public eye. "Then you have a song that they've written about you. But then someone else is in the video. It was one thing after the other, after the other," Edwards recalled. She went on to describe the moment everything became overwhelming while she was living at her home in Surrey after stepping away to gain some space. "I just remember finding out about that and it was like the nail in the coffin and I thought this is all getting a bit much and then I started crying my eyes out and then my dad started crying... I'm like you can't nobody can this is hellish like, what is going on."
Looking back now, Edwards said the experience ultimately changed the way she views relationships and helped her recognize the difference between an unhealthy romance and the stable relationship she now shares with fiancé Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. "It made me realize that that was very unhealthy," Edwards reflected. "I think now that I've experienced what healthy love is. With Alex. Yeah. It's so nice it doesn't make you feel sick to your stomach all the time it doesn't make you feel icky it doesn't make you feel like you're not worthy or you're not good enough... It doesn't feel competitive it doesn't feel Toxic."
The incident happened at Lilly's Club Monte Carlo in Monaco, France.
John Summit has addressed an incident that unfolded during his June 7 performance at Lilly’s Club Monte Carlo in Monaco, France, an event held during the Monaco F1 weekend and originally billed as a shared lineup with Travis Scott.
Footage circulating online shows the performance taking an unexpected turn when Travis Scott appeared on stage during Summit’s set, reportedly after arriving late to the venue. Video from the night captures Scott climbing over the DJ booth and beginning to perform while Summit was still on the decks.
Following the incident, John Summit posted on his Instagram Story on Monday (June 8), writing, “Monaco that was insane last night,” and describing the situation as chaotic. He added that his set was cut short due to “another artist showing up late and forcing his way onto the stage,” while thanking fans who were still able to enjoy the night.
He also shared a clip of himself playing his track “Go Back,” captioning it, “I wanna go back (onstage to finish my performance),” expressing frustration over how the set ended. In another post, he credited his production director John Fink for managing the situation and “holding it down during the chaos,” alongside footage showing a crowded stage environment and tension near the DJ booth.
A representative for Travis Scott did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Despite the disruption, John Summit remains on a busy touring schedule across Europe this summer, including a residency at Ibiza’s [UNVRS] club through July. He is also set to appear at major festivals such as Tomorrowland before returning to the United States for a headline set at Lollapalooza, followed by a North American arena tour in the fall.
