What to Wear to Summer's Biggest Concerts
Many of the music world's biggest stars are going on the road over the next few months—and some A-list acts have already kicked off their shows. Beyoncé, for one, has been bringing her stellar Americana-meets-western style to the stage with the ongoing Cowboy Carter Tour. Other performers to look forward to this summer? Notable names like Lady Gaga, Kendrick Lamar and SZA, Olivia Rodrigo, Blackpink, and many more. (Start saving those coins for tickets!)
Half the fun of attending a concert, though, is finding the perfect outfit to wear to a show. You simply can't attend Gaga's Mayhem Ball without an edgy, Mother Monster-worthy look. If the thematic fashions have you stressed, fear not: Vogue is rounding up the best summer tours, and what to wear to them. Consider it one less thing you have to stress about—so that you can focus entirely on scream-singing to your favorite songs the night of.
Below, see this summer's biggest tours—and what to wear to them.
Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter Tour
The vibe: Elevated country-western style. Think: Lots of fringe, denim, and leather. For a modern take on the look, consider a fringed jacket with your summer cut-offs, and punctuate it with your go-to cowboy boots and brimmed hat.

Lady Gaga's Mayhem Ball
The vibe: Edgy, Mother Monster-worthy fashions in moody shades of red and black. For some Gaga-inspired styling, consider wearing a black slip dress over leather pants or leggings. Look for accessories such as a chunky combat boot and pearl detailing. Abra-cada-bra!
Billie Eilish's Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour
The vibe: Baggy, menswear-inspired fits with sporty accents. Billie has that expert ability to pull off extremely oversized clothing—and you can too, with a snazzy button-up shirt and basketball shorts. Don't forget a tie and a pair of customary Air Jordans.
Kendrick Lamar and SZA's Grand National Tour
The vibe: Y2K grunge—but in a cool, modern way. We are still thinking about how Kendrick brought back bellbottoms at the Super Bowl, so why not channel the rapper on his tour with a dark-wash pair? A cozy flannel, tinted shades, and sporty low-tops will round out the look with ease.
Blackpink's World Tour
The vibe: Cutesy girl group style that is ready for an intense dance routine. A lace camisole, pleated school girl skirt, and edgy moto boots will have you looking like you belong on stage with Lisa, Rosé, Jennie, and Jisoo. Blackpink in your area!
Olivia Rodrigo's Guts Tour
The vibe: '90s grunge meets glamour. There is no garment more on-point for an Olivia Rodrigo show than a classic bodycon dress—her signature piece, of course. Paired with Dr. Martens, a choker, and cutesy heart bag? Siri, cue up 'Driver's License.'

Game Pass has three killer new games you should play this weekend (July 18-20)
The first wave of Game Pass games for July felt like the perfect way to celebrate summer. Specifically, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 let me relive those nostalgic summer days, and I can do it all again this weekend, only with a very different type of game. While that game is great, even if you have no nostalgia for one of the best '80s films, I always love to highlight some unknown games making their way to the service. This weekend, you can take your pick from a delightful horror title and immersive sim-like prison escape RPG with a style you probably wouldn't expect. If any of that sounds good, here are the 3 new Game Pass games I recommend for this weekend. Robocop: Rogue City Anyone who loves the Robocop films knows the series took a nosedive after the second entry. That was mainly due to the change in directors and dropping it from an R to PG-13 rating. Robocop: Rogue City is the true sequel we all wanted and pulls no punches despite its smaller scale. No game has fully captured the look, feel, and tone of Robocop like this game. You will uphold the law in a small but detailed section of Old Detroit, dishing out justice how you see fit through tons of main and side quests. The developers clearly had a love for the source material, as every familiar location is perfectly recreated and they even went os far as to bring back Peter Weller to voice Robocop. With the stand-alone expansion also out as of now, there's no better time to go on patrol. Recommended Videos Robocop: Rogue City is available now on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC My Friendly Neighborhood Taking a page out of the Five Nights At Freddy's handbook, My Friendly Neighborhood embraces just how creepy puppet shows are when looked at from the right (or wrong) angle. This isn't a pure horror experience, though, as there is a nice bit of sillyness to relieve the tension between the frights and tons of ways to fight back. Filled with puzzles, offbeat weapons, tons of puzzles, and a grid-based inventory system, this has all the trappings you want from a horror game. We're not quite into spooky season yet, but this is a great way to ease into the season with something more on the action side of horror that is great even for younger players. My Friendly Neighborhood is available now on Xbox Series X/S and PC. Back to the Dawn I admit that I never heard of Back to the Dawn before it hit Game Pass this month, but discovering games like this is exactly why I love this service. Don't be turned off by the animal characters here; this is a deep and highly dynamic prison escape RPG that just so happens to feature personified animal characters. You pick between two protagonists who each have their own storyline, stats, and skills you will use to (hopefully) break out of prison. Every choice matters, and there are more than 100 quests that can lead to dozens of ways to get out of prison as you unravel a deeper mystery. This game is highly replayable and immensely rewarding if you enjoy seeing how far you can push a game's systems. Back to the Dawn is available now on Xbox Series X/S and PC.

Philadelphia event aims to reduce the Big Brothers Big Sisters national waitlist
For 12-year-old Marquis and his 13-year-old cousin Jayden, gaming is more than just play — it's a pathway to connection. "I love it," said Marquis King Jr., a Little in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program. "You got to play a lot; you care about someone." Jayden, new to the program, added: "This is my first time coming here, so I'm new to this whole thing." The two cousins are currently on the Big Brothers Big Sisters waitlist among thousands of youth of color nationwide who are waiting for a mentor, or "Big." But thanks to a special event hosted in Philadelphia this week, they're getting a head start through a hands-on gaming experience designed to spark relationships and inspire trust. The event is part of a growing partnership between Big Brothers Big Sisters, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity and the Cxmmunity Foundation, a nonprofit that uses video games and digital media to connect underrepresented youth to STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) opportunities and future careers. "Being a Big when I was an Air Force officer, through my engagement, I was able to secure at least another six individuals who went on to become Bigs," John Cash, the chief development officer for the Cxmmunity Foundation and a proud member of Alpha Phi Alpha, said. "Alpha Phi Alpha's creed is service to all." This week, Alpha Phi Alpha, the first intercollegiate Greek-letter fraternity for African American men, is hosting its 119th National Convention in Philadelphia, where members are encouraged to sign up as mentors. Their goal is to help reduce the Big Brothers Big Sisters waitlist and offer meaningful connections to boys of color who are often the last to be matched. "Sixty-five percent of our waiting list are young boys of color," said Brian Ervin, the vice president of programs for Big Brothers Big Sisters Greater Houston. "Opportunities like this are how we approach that problem with a real solution. We've partnered with Alpha Phi Alpha to create this gaming space to provide mentorship to the young kids of Philadelphia, and we hope this becomes a catalyst for the entire country." Since 1990, Alpha Phi Alpha and Big Brothers Big Sisters have worked together to expand mentorship opportunities for youth of color. That partnership has helped reduce a national waitlist of over 30,000 and recently led to a 7% increase in mentor recruitment, reversing a years-long decline. For parents like Monique Dawkins, the impact is personal. "He don't always want to tell me his issues," she said of her son. "He could tell his big brother or his big sister." To her, the program is about more than structure; it's about belonging. "It will provide him a mentor. Good leadership. A big brother. He doesn't have a big brother, so I think this program would benefit him in a great way," Dawkins said. As kids like Marquis and Jayden discover the power of play and the promise of someone who believes in them, this movement is proving that mentorship can take many forms, even one with a game controller in hand. And for those waiting for a Big, the message is clear: they may not be waiting much longer.

Stephen Colbert says CBS is ending his 'Late Show' in May 2026
NEW YORK — CBS is axing 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert' in May 2026, the host told an audience at a taping Thursday. The announcement came two days after Colbert spoke out against CBS Global settling with President Donald Trump over a '60 Minutes' story. 'I am offended,' Colbert said in his monologue Monday night. 'I don't know if anything — anything — will repair my trust in this company. But, just taking a stab at it, I'd say $16 million would help.'
