Apple Corps Ltd will open an official seven-floor fan experience at 3 Savile Row in London in 2027, the Georgian townhouse where the Beatles recorded Let It Be and staged their final public performance on Jan. 30, 1969. Branded 'The Beatles at 3 Savile Row', the attraction will offer never-before-seen archive material, rotating exhibitions, a recreation of the original basement studio, rooftop access at the exact concert site and an official fan shop. Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr have both endorsed the plans and Apple Corps CEO Tom Greene said visitors who previously only photographed the exterior will be able to explore the interior. Fans can register for updates and tickets on the band’s website; no precise opening date has been provided. The announcement follows renewed global interest in the band driven by Peter Jackson’s Get Back documentary, the AI-assisted 2023 release 'Now and Then' and a slate of biopics in production, positioning the new venue as the first official Beatles destination in London alongside existing unofficial sites in Liverpool and worldwide.

May 25, 2026 — K-pop supergroup BTS returned to the awards stage and claimed the top prize at the fan-voted American Music Awards in Las Vegas, winning Artist of the Year for the second time. The seven-member act also took Song of the Summer for “Swim” and Best Male K-pop Artist after opening the show with a pre-recorded performance of “Hooligan” from their Allegiant Stadium concert. The wins came weeks after BTS’s comeback album Arirang topped the Billboard 200 and amid a sold-out four-night run in Las Vegas as part of the Arirang World Tour. Other notable winners included The Singing Voices of HUNTR/X’s “Golden” (Song of the Year), rising act KATSEYE (New Artist), and indie performer Sombr, while Billy Idol received a Lifetime Achievement Award. The AMAs’ broadcast on CBS and Paramount+ highlighted strong global fan engagement and extensive cross-platform promotion, with citywide BTS activations on the Strip and large local economic spillovers during Memorial Day weekend.

Three original Pussycat Dolls — Nicole Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts and Kimberly Wyatt — reunited at the 2026 American Music Awards on May 25 for a high-energy medley at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Dressed in coordinating red leather/latex, the trio performed hits including “Buttons,” “When I Grow Up,” their new comeback single “Club Song,” and closed with 2005 smash “Don’t Cha” alongside guest rapper Busta Rhymes (with hypeman Spliff Star). The appearance follows the group’s March 2026 reunion announcement and the release of “Club Song,” but comes amid controversy and logistical setbacks: the PCD Forever Tour’s North American leg was largely canceled earlier in May, while former members Carmit Bachar, Jessica Sutta and Melody Thornton said they were not contacted about the reboot. Despite cancelled U.S. dates, the group plans to perform at the OUTLOUD/WeHo Pride festival on June 6 and continues to promote scheduled European and U.K. dates through October. The AMAs performance, produced by Dick Clark Productions, offered a televised boost to the Dolls’ comeback while spotlighting unresolved lineup and touring challenges.

KATSEYE delivered a high‑energy, heavily choreographed performance of their new single “Pinky Up” at the American Music Awards in Las Vegas on May 25, emerging from a giant pink teddy bear amid a tea‑party set and bright pink visuals. The five‑member lineup — Daniela, Lara, Megan, Sophia and Yoonchae — performed while member Manon remains on hiatus. The group took home the AMA for New Artist of the Year and was also nominated for Best Music Video for “Gnarly” and Breakthrough Pop Artist. “Pinky Up” debuted at No. 28 on the Billboard Hot 100. Formed through a Hybe–Geffen joint venture and launched via the Dream Academy competition and Netflix docuseries Pop Star Academy, KATSEYE has rapidly expanded its profile after a breakout year that included a Coachella set and a viral single. The group is slated to release the Wild EP on Aug. 14 and will embark on the Wildworld Tour Sept. 1 in Dublin, with dates across Europe and North America.

Sombr, the 20-year-old pop-rock singer, dominated the 2026 American Music Awards on May 25 in Las Vegas with a dramatic, rain-soaked performance of 'Homewrecker' that followed his acceptance of the night’s first trophy. Minutes earlier he won Best Rock/Alternative Song for 'Back to Friends' and is among the night’s most-nominated artists with seven nods, including Song of the Summer, New Artist of the Year, Song of the Year, Breakthrough categories and Best Rock/Alternative Album for I Barely Know Her. Television and press coverage highlighted the performance’s onstage downpour and Sombr’s theatrical smudged eyeliner finale. 'Homewrecker' is his highest-debuting single, peaking at No. 19 on the Billboard Hot 100, and comes amid a breakout year that included appearances at the Grammys, Coachella, the BRITs and the VMAs. Sombr is set to launch a 39-date You Are the Reason Tour on July 22 in Mexico City, with stops across North America and a November 24 finale at Madison Square Garden.
