The III Points Music Festival 2025 lineup just dropped, and it's looking stacked
Returning to its home turf at Mana Wynwood on October 17–18, the festival's eleventh edition is loaded with sonic curveballs, from the woozy psych-dance of Darkside to the hard-hitting verses of local hero Denzel Curry. Add in a little French flair courtesy of L'Impératrice, a global dance floor queen in Peggy Gou, and Sean Paul doing what Sean Paul does best, and you've got a weekend that will melt genre lines faster than a Miami margarita.
Other standouts from the just-announced phase 1 lineup include Baltimore rockers Turnstile, viral it-kid 2hollis and Berlin's techno titan Nina Kraviz. Underground favorites Barry Can't Swim, Michael Bibi, ANOTR and Indira Paganotto round out a list that leans into the eclectic—because that's just how III Points rolls.
'It is not easy navigating a forward-thinking, multi-genre festival in the North American music landscape nowadays,' said co-founder David Sinopoli in an official statement, 'But I believe our commitment to our Miami music community has been the guiding force for us.'
In true III Points fashion, the experience goes beyond the beats. Expect cutting-edge art installations, immersive activations and an upgraded VIP scene that includes elevated viewing decks, happy hour perks, air-conditioned lounges and billiards at the Players Club.
New this year: the ultra-tempting AFTER MIDNIGHT (AM) ticket, a budget-friendly $139 option for night owls that grants entry from midnight to close (4am). General ticket prices are lower than ever, starting at just $199—or $11.11 down via payment plan—when they go on sale this Thursday, April 24, at 1:11pm ET at iiipoints.com.

Steven Knight's 'compelling' thriller series quietly added to free streamer
A thriller series starring Elisabeth Moss is now streaming for free (Picture: FX) A week after her long-running series The Handmaid's Tale came to an end, UK fans can now binge an 'underrated' thriller starring Elisabeth Moss. Released on Hulu in the US and on Disney Plus locally last year, The Veil was written by Steven Knight, best known for creating Peaky Blinders and SAS: Rogue Heroes. Ahead of its release, it was teased the cat-and-mouse storyline would appeal to fans of Killing Eve and promised to keep viewers on the edge of their seats. 'The Veil explores the surprising and fraught relationship between two women who play a deadly game of truth and lies on the road from Istanbul to Paris and London,' the official synopsis said. 'One woman has a secret, the other a mission to reveal it before thousands of lives are lost. In the shadows, mission controllers at the CIA and French DGSE must put differences aside and work together to avert potential disaster.' Elisabeth plays Imogen Salter, a veteran MI6 agent with a specialty in undercover work. The Veil follows two women engaged in a 'deadly game of truths and lies' (Picture: FX) To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Up Next Previous Page Next Page The Veil also stars Yumna Marwan as Adilah El Idrissi, a French woman suspected of being an ISIS leader planning an attack on the West, Dali Benssalah as Malik Amar, an agent with French intelligence agency DGSE and Imogen's boyfriend, and Josh Charles as Max Peterson, an obnoxious CIA agent collaborating with Malik and Imogen. After a two year wait for the show to hit screens, a year later UK fans can now finally also tune in for free. This week Channel 4 uploaded the entire series to its streaming service. Although the six-episode series divided critics and fans, those who did love it gave glowing reviews. 'Exciting and astonishing, The Veil beautifully balances stunt-filled escapades and a rich narrative,' Variety wrote. It was originally released last year and is now available on Channel 4 (Picture: FX) 'Overall, The Veil seems like a fun show to get lost in as you unravel the mystery each week,' Common Sense Media shared. 'By the end of the six episodes of The Veil, I was convinced that this is Moss' best role, and best performance, yet. She's amazing,' NPR added. Meanwhile fans said it was 'utterly compelling', 'underrated' and 'full of constant twists'. After her breakout role as Zoey Bartlet in The West Wing, Moss went on to star as Peggy Olson in Mad Men, before playing June/ Offred in The Handmaid's Tale, which ran from 2017 until this year. Speaking to RTE ahead of the initial premiere of The Veil, the actress said this had been one of her hardest roles to date. The series was created by Peaky Blinders' Steven Knight (Picture: Alan Chapman/ Dave Benett/ WireImage) 'It was much more challenging than I've ever experienced given the different skills and different things I had to do with the dialect, the stunts, fight training, and speaking a couple of different languages here and there, and then traveling around the world, so it definitely felt like, if possible, I've found something even more challenging than The Handmaid's Tale,' she said. During filming she even fractured a vertebrae in her back, an injury that left her lying on a roof in Istanbul for two hours. After 'hitting a wall the wrong way' when undertaking a stunt, Moss was still determined to push on and was back on set the next day, but with limited mobility. 'I didn't know if we were going to be able to come back and shoot on this rooftop in the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul. It's not like that is an easy thing to accomplish. But luckily, we, as a production, and then FX, thank God, let us go back and shoot it again. Which was incredible, an incredible opportunity,' she told Variety. Got a story?

I am a Scottish weather presenter - no wonder I love escape fantasies
Does anyone in Scotland really get through a day without mentioning the weather? 'I find all weather exciting, but you have to watch your language, because not everybody likes heat,' says BBC weather presenter Carol Kirkwood, who adores sunshine but understands why 30C can send us into a hot, bothered and tremendously sticky spin. For the vulnerable and elderly, heatwaves can even prove fatal. 'Don't be like, 'Oh, it's going to be a fabulous day,' just state the fact: 'It's going to be sunny and dry today. It's also going to be hot, temperatures getting up to 32 or 33 degree celsius…' Her tone at this point, so familiar to those that have watched her almost every day for the best part of 28 years, makes speaking to a weather presenter about the weather feel rather meta. Kirkwood has a new romance novel coming out (Image: free) Scottish meteorologist Kirkwood, 63, is not only on the frontline, reporting on increasingly volatile weather systems and climate change ('When I was growing up, there were four seasons, you had a definite winter, spring, summer and autumn. Now a lot of them tend to merge,'), she is also an ambassador for sheer escapism from such topics. '[Escapism is] always valuable because it takes you into another world, and you can leave your problems behind for as long as you're reading the book,' she says. 'There's so many things going on in the world, it's nice just to stick your nose in a book and forget about it for a time.' Hence her fifth novel, Meet Me at Sunset, a dramatic romance about a fashion designer called Camille Fontaine, who is 'running away from a shattered love affair' and whose secret-filled past is on the brink of overflowing into her present. More than your classic boy-meets-girl romp, Kirkwood says: 'I really hope you think at the end of it, 'I didn't see that coming'.' Her heroine is inspired by a woman Kirkwood spotted in a restaurant while on holiday in Majorca. 'She was a very elegant lady, she was French, sat upright, her back wasn't touching the seat. She had elegant outfits on. Her hair was in a chignon and she always had the same thing: a salad and a glass of white wine in one of these very delicate, fragile wine glasses. A puff of wind would knock it over and it would break,' she remembers reverently. 'She always looked out to sea and ate alone. I thought, 'Golly, why is somebody like this on her own? She's beautiful.'' The book is both an imagining of that woman's life and a chance for Kirkwood to run literary riot with some of her favourite topics: glamour, fashion and, of course, romance. One of eight children, Kirkwood's parents were hoteliers, and her adoration for glitz and glamour comes from watching Cary Grant, Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn films growing up. 'These are the movies my mum would watch and enjoy, and they were always so glamorous – and then you'd see Marilyn Monroe,' she says with an awed sigh. 'My idea of what Hollywood glamour is, and probably the reality of it, are two different things. But some of my characters live in amazing houses with swimming pools, they're in the sunshine and get into their open-top cars and off they go. Life isn't quite like that,' she accepts. 'I just think, to go into any store and be able to buy whatever you want, gosh, wouldn't that be nice?' Read more Most would agree that Kirkwood oozes glamour herself – and certainly did on Strictly Come Dancing in 2015 – but she's more self-deprecating. 'You might not think it to look at me on a daily basis, but I do love fashion,' she says with a light laugh, noting she can be hampered outfit-wise depending on what studio she's filming in. 'If I've got the green screen on and I wear a green dress with short sleeves, you would see the end of my arms, my hands and my head.' It can all end up a bit Andy Serkis/Gollum while you're eating your cornflakes if she's not careful. But you get the sense that Kirkwood is careful and sensible, while still finding the joy and pleasure in life. So she does 'try to look my best and stay healthy' but not because she's on the telly, 'but because I want to stay healthy. I got married not that long ago and I want to have a long life with my gorgeous husband, for as long as I can.' Kirkwood married Steve Randall, a police officer, in 2021. 'I am very happy and so lucky to have Steve. I wasn't looking for romance. He came into my life. We were friends before we became romantically involved, and that was nice. I got to know him as a friend, and he's so kind,' she says. So she's upped her protein intake and walks miles, often with Steve on the weekends, when they'll discuss books. This year she also decided to stop snacking. 'I don't know what it is, you sit down with a cup of tea and you think, 'I'll have a Twix'. Or in the evening, with a glass of wine, you think, 'I want some Pringles'. And now, I don't do that. If I have a cup of tea, I just have a cup of tea. And if we're having a glass of wine, I'll toast some pitta or chop up some carrots or red pepper and put out hummus and it's delish. What I have been missing all this time, stuffing my face with Pringles!' Meet Me at Sunset by Carol Kirkwood (Image: free) Steve (people like to make a fuss about the fact he's 14 years younger than her), she says, is 'very romantic and very generous. He's just a lovely man. I pinch myself. I'm punching, I'm really punching.' I tell her no way! And she says, clearly smiling on the end of the phone, 'He says he's punching!' Kirkwood's attitude towards romance is refreshingly cynicism-free, and yet, at the same time, thoroughly realistic. She is wonderfully invested in the whole concept, even though it comes with no guarantees. 'I love hearing about how people meet. I feel sad when relationships break down. I was married before (to property developer Jimmy Kirkwood, they split in 2008), and we got divorced, and it's always sad when that happens,' she muses. 'But of course, there isn't such a thing – I don't think – as a perfect romance, where you're never going to fall out or have cross words. Of course you are, that's life.' Despite all the heartache and the risk though, she is firm: 'We all need a bit of romance in our lives. I know it may not be the genre that's trendy at the moment, but it will always come back. I think there'll always be room in the world for romance.' Meet Me at Sunset by Carol Kirkwood is published in hardback by HarperCollins, priced £16.99 (ebook £8.99). Available now.

Credit: Tiktok/@ellenbacke1 5 She was on holiday in Sicily at the time Credit: Tiktok/@ellenbacke1 A TikTok page has shared a video of two boys spotting Dua Lipa, 29, on holiday while having a cheeky cigarette. In the video, Dua can be seen sitting on the side of a street wearing a floaty cream frock. Puffing on a cigarette and looking around, Dua looked content and relaxed as she relaxed on holiday. She could be seen laughing with and chatting to who she was on vacation with. Holding her cigarette elegantly, Dua took several puffs from it as she sat in public. Fans were quick to react to the video, with them entirely divided in the comments section on TikTok. One person penned: "How did you stay calm?!...i would scream and run towards her to hug." "She actin nonchalant like she doesn't know she is filmed," added a second. A third said: "And she's just SITTING ON THE SIDEWALK with a glass of wine too! "No boujee fancy private table at the best restaurants… Showbiz's secret celebrity smokers revealed "Ugh I love how she just seems like a chill, normal person unlike a lot of other celebrities at her level of fame." Others slammed her for smoking, with one person writing: "It's really hard to understand why ppl still smoke, so young too!" "Can never respect singers who smoke. No and no," said a second. Dua previously spoke about how she had decided to give up smoking for her Future Nostalgia tour in 2022. Dua Lipa's love life: A history Who has Dua Lipa dated in the past? Isaac Carew Dua dated the British model and chef twice. The started dating in 2015 before splitting up two years later due to scheduling issues. They rekindled their romance in 2018 before splitting for good a year later. Paul Klein After she broke up from Isaac in 2017, she embarked on a new relationship that same year with the musician. They broke up after just five months of dating in 2018. Anwar Hadid One of her most high-profile relationships was with Anwar Hadid, brother of supermodels Gigi and Bella Hadid. Although they quarantined together during the COVID-19 Pandemic they called it quits in 2021 as Dua wanted to focus on being single Jack Harlow In December 2022, it was claimed that both of the music pairing were 'hanging out' together. Although after a few months it seemed that the relationship fizzled out. Romain Gavras The French director was first linked to Dua back in 2023 when they were seen in London leaving the BAFTA Awards afterparty together in February. They later walked the red carpet together at the Cannes Film Festival in May. They were later pictured together over the summer that year in July and August as they celebrated his birthday. She has since deleted mentions of him off of her Instagram. Callum Turner In January 2024, Callum celebrated the release of his Apple TV+ series, Masters of Air. The pair were spotted together at the afterparty of the premiere in Los Angeles. They were then spotted getting close on a number of dates. Insiders since revealed that the duo have travelled together and have met each other's families. The pair then became more public with their relationship before rumours circulated of an engagement over the festive period. The singer appeared to confirm the news on social media, posting a photo with her huge ring in plain sight. Speaking on Late Night With Seth Meyers, the singer revealed wanted her vocal health to be top notch so decided to give up smoking. "I was smoking cigarettes at the time... But I've stopped. I've quit, guys," she said to the host at the time. But by August of the same year, she had seemingly started smoking cigarettes again. Fans cottoned on when she shared a photograph clutching a box of Malboro Gold. And in January of this year, there were a slew of paparazzi photos of Dua with her husband-to-be Callum Turner in Paris, with the pair spotted smoking and cuddling by the Eiffel Tower.
