Chappell Roan releases new single ‘The Subway.' See her on tour
Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. Stand clear of the closing doors, Popstars. On Thursday, July 31, Chappell Roan released 'The Subway,' the second single from her forthcoming second album, which doesn't have a title or release date at the time of publication. The four-minute track, which Roan debuted while painted green and decked out in Lady Liberty garb at Governors Ball in 2024, is a moody ode to a would-be crush and/or past love with 'green hair and a beauty mark next to your mouth' spotted while aboard the train. Evocative lyrics like 'Somebody wore your perfume/it almost killed me/I had to leave the room' cut through the noise and show off Roan's gift for letting listeners deep into her inner-world. As for the sound, the 27-year-old's voice combined with Dan Nigro's stellar production smack of stripped-down yet anthemic late-'80s, early-'90s alt-pop icons like 'Til Tuesday, 10,000 Maniacs, Tori Amos, Ani DiFranco and Joan Osborne. In short, it's a heartbreaking, downbeat bop. Think less 'Pink Pony Club,' more 'Casual.' If you'd like to hear the thrilling new track live, the 'Subway' singer will likely take it to the stage at all shows on her eight-show, three-city 'Visions of Damsels & Other Dangerous Things' pop-up concert series this September and October. That includes four (!) nights at Queens' Forest Hills Stadium for the Missouri native. Based on our findings, the shows are set to take place Saturday, Sept. 20, Sunday, Sept. 21, Tuesday, Sept. 23 and Wednesday, Sept. 24. 'I love these three cities so much + wanted the chance to do something special before going away to write the next album,' the 27-year-old shared via Instagram. 'Also, we are giving $1 per ticket to organizations dedicated to supporting and providing resources for trans youth in each city,' she added. Fans Popstars can purchase tickets for all upcoming Chappell Roan shows on sites like Vivid Seats; the official on-sale for the 'Visions of Damsels & Other Dangerous Things' pop-up series will be sometime in early August. Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand. They have a 100% buyer guarantee that states your transaction will be safe and secure and will be delivered before the event. Chappell Roan tour schedule 2025 A complete calendar including all tour and festival dates, venues and links to buy tickets can be found here. Chappell Roan 2025 festival appearances Ahead of the tour, Roan is taking her talents to a pair of UK festivals. In case you're planning on attending, here's everything you need to know about both of them. Chappell Roan festival dates Reading Festival Aug. 21-24 at Ritchfield Avenue in Reading, GB Hozier, Suki Waterhouse, Becky Hill. Bloc Party, Conan Gray Leeds Festival Aug. 21-24 at Bramham Park in West Yorkshire, GB Hozier, Suki Waterhouse, Becky Hill. Bloc Party, Conan Gray Chappell Roan set list The last concert the 'HOT TO GO!' singer performed at was a festival gig in Barcelona on June 7. Although her live show may change quite a bit for her solo headlining dates, here's a look at what she took to the stage back then — including her new singles and an extended cover choice — courtesy of Set List FM. 01.) 'Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl' 02.) 'Femininomenon' 03.) 'After Midnight' 04.) 'Naked in Manhattan' 05.) 'Guilty Pleasure' 06.) 'Casual' 07.) 'The Subway' (Unreleased) 08.) 'HOT TO GO!' 09.) 'Barracuda' (Heart cover) 10.) 'Picture You' 11.) 'Kaleidoscope' 12.) 'The Giver' (Chappell called out some of the audience's ex boyfriends who couldn't get 'the job done') 13.) 'Red Wine Supernova' 14.) 'Coffee' 15.) 'Good Luck, Babe!' 16.) 'My Kink Is Karma' 17.) 'Pink Pony Club' Chappell Roan new music video In addition to dropping 'The Subway' on streaming services, Roan also released a sweeping, cinematic music video for the new MTA-themed track. Directed with breathless, surreal flair by Amber Grace Johnson, the low-angle, opening image of a red wig being swept through New York City sidewalks sets the tone for the 4.5-minute short: right out of the gate, it's clear this won't just be close-ups and band shots like most music videos. No, Roan and Johnson dream bigger, better and weirder. Their Big Apple vision takes us from the streets to the train station (where Roan alternates between the biggest red and green wigs you've ever laid eyes upon), before landing in an old-school N-Q-R-W orange car. From there, we cut to Roan laying in a bed of luscious red locks to atop a rooftop and back to the train where she glimpses at corny ads with messages hammily targeted at her. One fictitious law firm advertises 'Don't suffer in silence. Get even,' 1-800 Eye Flirt pitches 'See it? Say It! Love doesn't ride in silence' and, finally she sees 'Good Luck Isn't A Coverage Plan' (which might be a cheeky nod to her own 'Good Luck, Babe' but maybe we're reading into things). Next, our hero ditches the subway and ends up looking forlorn in a cab, wearing a suit with sizable shoulder pads. Upon exit, her epic 'do gets caught in the door and she's comically dragged across Midtown while donning a deadpan expression while belting her heart out. Now, this is how you do slapstick. Finally, in 'The Subway's' ultimate showpiece moment, a raucous, glam party breaks out aboard the likely Queens-bound public transportation. Wind swirls all over Roan as she cries 'she got away' and before we know it, our lovesick heroine is sobbing in the Washington Square Park fountain. All in all, it's an emotional, innovative artistic statement. This is no throwaway video — it's a mini-masterpiece with a hair-raising, cliffhanger final moment. Want to see?

USA TODAY names its Bars of the Year. This South Dakota favorite made the list
Famed outlaw Wild Bill Hickok would be hootin' and hollerin' down the streets of Deadwood for this one. Saloon No. 10 in Deadwood, S.D., made USA TODAY's list of best bars in the country. The USA TODAY Bars of the Year 2025 list, released July 30, features 29 bars from dives to high-end cocktail bars. USA Today Network food journalists live and work in the states across the country. They know their communities well, and they pooled their expertise to select the list, which includes the places they spend their time and recommend to readers, travelers and friends. How Many Have You Been To? The 29 best bars in America in 2025: See USA TODAY's top picks Why Saloon No. 10 was named one of the best bars The chair in which Wild Bill was shot in 1876 while playing poker inside the dusty saloon still hangs on the wall today, for one. But there's such a larger history lesson inside bar on Main Street. Built during the peak of the Black Hills Gold Rush 150 years ago and family-owned for 60 years now, Saloon No. 10 is a 'museum with a damn good bar' for relics and folklore from the Old West, a stunning collection of George and Joseph Fassbender's artwork, a 1990 Dick Termes spherical painting that hangs above the cash register and photos from the 1930s of founder Stu Donavitz and his staff of bartenders in black ties. But grab an Old Fashioned and settle in for the live bands, dancing atop a mess of saw dust, one of the largest whiskey collections in the region, Blackjack in the back and daily re-enactments of Wild Bill's demise. 'I die and resurrect three times a day!' says actor Travis Pearson who portrays the famed outlaw. Now that's historic.

How 'KPop Demon Hunters' became the surprise hit of the summer
NEW YORK -- In the colorful, animated, musical world of 'KPop Demon Hunters,' everyone is a fan. The general public rocks T-shirts supporting their favorite idols. They hold light sticks and stare starry-eyed at stadium stages; they scream, they cry, they cheer, they buy the merch. It shouldn't come as much of a surprise, then, that the Sony Pictures/ Netflix film itself has inspired similar fanfare, having topped the streamer's global rankings. Fans have flooded the internet with art, covers, cosplay and choreography in response to the movie, which follows the fictional K-pop girl group HUNTR/X as they fight demons. And it's not just the film that's a summer hit. The 'KPop Demon Hunters' soundtrack has topped the charts — debuting at No. 1 on Billboard's Soundtracks chart and No. 8 on the all-genre Billboard 200. Here's how 'KPop Demon Hunters' became the year's surprising success story. The 'KPop Demon Hunters' soundtrack utilizes some of the best and brightest in the genre. That included a partnership with K-pop company The Black Label, co-founded by super producer Teddy Park, known for his work with YG, Blackpink and 2NE1 — empowered girl groups used as references for the film's protagonists, the trio HUNTR/X. It's one of the many reasons the musical film's soundtrack stands on its own. Filmmakers 'really did their homework,' says Jeff Benjamin, a music journalist who specializes in K-pop. Indeed, they did a lot of research. One of the film's directors, Maggie Kang, said that her team prioritized 'representing the fandom and the idols in a very specific way,' as to not disappoint K-pop fans. They pulled from a treasure trove of influences heard at every corner: The fictional, rival boy band Saja Boys' hit song 'Soda Pop,' for example, references the '90s K-pop group H.O.T. And it has worked. 'KPop Demon Hunters' is the highest charting soundtrack of 2025, with eight of its songs landing on the Billboard Hot 100. It peaked at No. 2 on the all-genre Billboard 200. To put that in perspective: Lorde's 'Virgin' and Justin Bieber's 'Swag' did the same. In some ways, it recalls Disney's 'Encanto,' which topped the Billboard 200 and produced a No. 1 hit, 'We Don't Talk About Bruno ' in 2022. Similarly, 'KPop Demon Hunters' embraces 'the original soundtrack, which is a lost art form,' adds Benjamin. Tamar Herman, a music journalist and author of the 'Notes on K-pop' newsletter, says the movie succeeds because it embraces animated musical tradition and authentic K-pop music production styles in equal measure. She considers 'Kpop Demon Hunters' to be 'a musical with songs inspired by K-pop,' not unlike a Jukebox musical, where the songs of ABBA are reimagined for 'Mamma Mia.' The novelty of the film, too, seems to be resonating. Where many animated films rely on adapting existing intellectual property, 'KPop Demon Hunters' is original. And it comes from an original perspective. 'It's not completely Korean, it's not completely Western and it's kind of right in that middle,' says Kang. 'It's like not pulled from one side; it's kind of flavors of both. So, I think that's what makes the movie feels a little different.' And 'the core story is what's drawing everybody in,' says Kang. San Francisco-based cosplayer and content creator Nanci Alcántar, who goes by Naanny Lee online agrees. 'It's not only a K-pop group, but it also tells a story of their journey, of how they transform into powerful warriors,' said Alcántar in Spanish. For her, it goes beyond K-pop — it's about the narrative. Kang's approach to cultural authenticity, too, may have contributed to the film's crossover appeal. Rather than explaining Korean elements like HUNTR/X's visit to a traditional medicine clinic or translating K-pop light stick culture for Western audiences, she opted for full immersion. 'We just wanted everybody to just accept that they were in Korea,' Kang said. The director said this method of 'throwing people into the deep end of a culture' breaks down barriers better than heavy-handed explanation. 'We just wanted to keep everything feeling normal,' she explained. 'If you don't shine a light on it, it just becomes more easily accepted.' Zabrinah Santiago, a San Diego-based longtime K-pop fan and freelance illustrator who goes by ItmeZ online, was so inspired by the animation style of the movie that she raced to make fan art. She sold illustrated fan cards of HUNTR/X and Saja Boys at her booth at the Los Angeles Anime Expo, held in July, two weeks after the movie was released on Netflix. And she wasn't the only one. A search of #kpopdemonhunters on Instagram yields thousands of fan illustrations of HUNTR/X and Saja Boys. Japan-based Youtuber Emily Sim, also known as Emirichu online, says the character designs and original plot drew her to the movie. Sim, with more than 3.5 million subscribers on YouTube, posted a 35-minute video about the movie. In a week-and-a-half, it garnered nearly 450,000 views. 'I love seeing all the fan art and just the ways that this movie has creatively inspired people,' Sim said. Kang says for 'KPop Demon Hunters,' her team wanted to bring together demons and Jeoseung Saja — the grim reaper in Korean mythology — for a film that could look both very traditional and modernized — what she says is common in K-dramas but not in animation. Herman compares the movie to another Sony animation: 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse,' which also attracted a broad audience with its creative animation. 'And it's a fun, animated musical, which we haven't had in a while,' she says. 'It's campy, it's engaging, it's universal.' Santiago was initially skeptical of the title 'KPop Demon Hunters.' 'I feel like with big companies they kind of like to use K-pop as a bait. They kind of like to take advantage of K-pop fans' sincerity,' said Santiago. 'But I felt like with this one, it was such like kind of a love letter to K-pop fans.' Indeed — if the film wasn't authentic to K-pop fans' experience, or mocked them, it is unlikely to have become so popular, says Benjamin. Instead, there are Easter eggs for the dedicated K-pop listener. Herman agrees, and says that the film has in-jokes for K-pop fans, not unlike a children's movie that features some humor meant to appeal specifically to parents. 'Figuring out what makes K-pop tick in a way that resonates with musical fans was really important to this movie,' said Herman. For Kang, that was always at the heart of the project. 'Fandom plays a huge part in the world being saved at the end of the movie,' she said. 'So, we were really confident that we were doing that justice.'
