Revolver, Dubai's Hottest Fire Driven Modern Indian Grill, Teams up with Emirati-Owned, Maisan15 for a One-Night-Only Feast of Flavours
Revolver Dubai's pop-up series returns this summer with its most artistic and soulful collaboration yet. For one night only, on Thursday, July 17th at 7PM, Revolver teams up with beloved neighbourhood gem Maisan15 for a dinner experience that fuses open-fire Indian flair with Levantine comfort. This twelve-course set menu is a celebration of culinary craftsmanship, community, and creative spirit, blending spice, smoke and storytelling into a night that's anything but ordinary. Since launching in Dubai earlier this year, Revolver has been on a mission to shake up the city's culinary scene with a dynamic series of one-night-only pop-ups that throw out the rulebook and invite some of the region's most exciting chefs to take over its fire-led kitchen. Following memorable collaborations with Chef Ali Yazdi and Chef Reif Othman, each event has celebrated fearless flavour and boundary-breaking cooking in an intimate, high-energy setting. With every edition, Revolver continues to prove that the best nights out don't always come with an encore. The next chapter in this series sees Chef Jitin Joshi of Revolver join forces with Chef Rita Soueidan of Maisan15. Together, they've crafted an unexpected journey through twelve punchy, playful courses, showcasing a menu that weaves together heritage, technique and instinct. From Duck Fat Potatoes with Kashmiri Chilli to a soul-warming Black Cod Sayadieh, and an indulgent Flourless Chocolate and Cardamom Cake, this is mezze reimagined, where Levant meets spice, and tradition meets fire. Expect a multi-sensory ride through hot and cold mezze, layered mains, and decadent desserts, all seasoned with stories and served at the chef's counter. Dishes like Vine Leaf Rice with shiitake and cumin raita and Chickpea & Fennel Falafel with pickled kohlrabi reflect Maisan15's earthy, produce-forward cooking, while Revolver brings the heat with bold signatures like Charred Chicken Musakhan and Lamb Rib Nihari with Levant pickles. The menu, priced at AED 350, is both a homage and a remix, combining Rita's Levantine roots and Jitin's mastery of fire-led Indian cuisine with seasonal ingredients and playful twists. There's Lentil Hummus topped with short rib and pomegranate molasses, and a reimagined Baba Ghanoush lifted with curry leaf furikake. On the sweeter side, a fragrant Burnt Citrus dessert rounds off the experience with orange blossom and saffron yoghurt. The collaboration with Maisan15 marks a deeply personal moment for Revolver. Nestled in a leafy courtyard in Al Barsha South, Maisan15 is a cult favourite, a café-gallery hybrid founded by artist Rami Farook that's as much a creative hub as it is a restaurant. With Chef Rita at the helm, it has quietly built a reputation for soul-nourishing dishes, warm hospitality and a fiercely loyal community. Bringing Maisan15's essence into Revolver's kitchen is a convergence of two philosophies built on heart, heat, and a love for the unexpected. With limited seating and no repeats, this is a one-night kitchen takeover, a meeting of minds, and a rare chance to see two distinct culinary styles collide. Book now and taste the magic before it disappears. When: Thursday, July 17th from 7PM onwards Offer: 12-course dinner collaboration between Revolver and Maisan15 Price: AED 350 per person Location: Revolver Dubai, The Opus by Omniyat, Business Bay *For bookings, click here *For more information, please email [email protected], call +9714 2579334, or WhatsApp +971 56 522 0195

The Beatles' Apple Corps Announces Its New CEO
The Beatles' Apple Corps Ltd. has announced its new CEO, British executive Tom Greene. The Beatles originally founded Apple in 1968 to handle their creative and business interests, with their longtime friend and lieutenant Neil Aspinall as the first CEO. But Apple has kept busy in recent years, as the band's music keeps getting bigger all the time. Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Olivia Harrison, and Sean Ono Lennon said in a joint statement, 'We are thrilled to welcome Tom Greene as CEO. We have a lot of exciting plans and Tom's experience and vision make him the perfect person to join us in making it all happen.' More from Rolling Stone The World's Hardest Beatles 'Abbey Road' Quiz Beyoncé Thanks Paul McCartney for 'Writing One of the Best Songs Ever Made' Paul McCartney Pays Tribute to 'Musical Genius' Brian Wilson: 'I Loved Him' Greene is only the third to hold this position, following two legends. Aspinall is one of the most famous figures in the Beatles story, a member of their inner circle going back to their Liverpool days — he was a school friend of McCartney's and George Harrison's, and served as their first roadie, driving a van on their early tours. He ran Apple Corps for nearly 40 years until he retired in 2007, a year before his death. Jeff Jones took over and oversaw the astounding explosion of Beatles archival projects, especially the deluxe editions that began in 2017 with Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. These projects have revolutionized how people hear this music, with expanded and remastered editions of the White Album, Abbey Road, Let It Be, and Revolver. So have innovative documentaries like Peter Jackson's Get Back and Ron Howard's Eight Days a Week: The Touring Years. Apple has continued to administer the Beatles' projects at a frantic pace. Last year alone, Apple and Disney+ released the documentary Beatles '64, directed by David Tedeschi and produced by Martin Scorsese, as well as a beautifully restored version of Michael Lindsay-Hogg's 1970 Let It Be. In November, Apple Corps Ltd./Capitol/UMe also released The Beatles: 1964 U.S. Albums in Mono, a box collecting the band's first seven American albums on 180-gram audiophile vinyl. In 2023, Apple released the deluxe reissues of the classic anthologies 1962-1966 and 1967-1970, better known as the Red and Blue albums, along with the Fabs' official final single, 'Now and Then,' which won a Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance. Greene's appointment at Apple is effective in September of this year. He comes from the gaming world, where he became COO of the esports company BLAST in 2021. Greene previously spent six years working with the Harry Potter franchise, running Pottermore Publishing as well as Wizarding World Digital. 'It is a huge honour to lead Apple Corps into this new phase of its history,' Greene said in a statement. 'Like so many people around the world, I grew up in a household obsessed with the Beatles and their music. At a time when the world might need more of the Beatles' spirit, there are so many new and innovative ways to bring their unique magic to all generations of fans. I cannot wait to get started.' Director Sam Mendes' four-part movie epic about the band is scheduled to open in April 2028, through Sony Pictures Entertainment and Neal Street Productions. It stars Paul Mescal as Paul, Harris Dickinson as John, Joseph Quinn as George, and Barry Keoghan as Ringo. The official title is The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event.

Telstra wins film prize but Aussie work lags globally
Telstra has been recognised among some of the world's best brands after its advertising campaigns scooped top awards at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. Three recent campaigns from the telecommunications giant were recognised at the annual advertising awards festival, alongside global work for Apple, AXA, Budweiser, Dove and Vaseline. The telco's Better on a Better Network campaign, which consisted of 26 stop-motion films, each just 15 seconds long, dominated the Film awards category winning a Grand Prix for film craft in addition to two golds and one bronze Lion. Telstra's Christmas and business campaigns also picked up four more Lions, all in the film category. The plaudits extended to the creative companies behind the work, with Telstra's creative agency Bear Meets Eagle On Fire recognised as one of the top three independent agencies in the world, while production company Revolver won the Palme d'Or for film making, the first Australian production company to ever receive the award. Telstra was the most highly-awarded Australian brand at this year's awards, an accolade that left Telstra chief marketing officer Brent Smart 'speechless'. Mr Smart had previously told The Australian that the brand's recent advertising activity aimed to get audiences to rethink Telstra. 'We've been working hard to give the brand more personality, to make the brand more humble, more personable and more likeable,' he told The Australian last year. 'A lot of people judge Telstra based on the brand it used to be, not the brand it is today. I believe, if you want to change how people feel about the brand, you need to change how the brand feels,' he said. Telstra wasn't the only brand to win over the international judging panels, other local campaigns that picked up awards included Suncorp's Building a More Resilient Australia campaign by Leo Australia, Volkswagen RooBadge by DDB Australia, Coca-Cola's Meet me at the Coke Sign by Ogilvy Australia, Australian Lamb for Droga5 ANZ and the 36 Months campaign by independent agency SuperMassive, which lobbied the Australian Government to raise the minimum age for social media from 13 to 16. In addition to awarding the best work from the past 12 months, the annual festival also provides a glimpse into the themes and trends that will dominate the year ahead with some well-needed laughs likely to be hitting our screens through the next wave of advertising and marketing. 'Humour is back,' according to Suncorp EGM of Brand & Customer Experience Mim Haysom, who was a judge in the creative data award category. 'There were a large number of entries using humour this year, and using it effectively to cut through and create an emotional connection with audiences,' she said. 'Perhaps a counter play to the serious issues we are all feeling globally, the significant presence of humour, being used to tackle both business and social challenges was a delight to have in the mix.' Ms Haysom also said that while AI was a strong presence throughout the festival, featuring in 70 per cent of award case studies in the creative data category, its role and purpose was interrogated by the judges. 'We asked ourselves in the judging room, did AI serve as a genuine enabler for innovation and impact, or was it simply there for show? If you could remove the AI and the idea didn't stand on its own, it didn't make the cut,' she said. In response to the pervasiveness of AI and technology, there was a strong push for work that showcased the best, and worst, of humanity, according to Revolver executive producer and partner Pip Smart, a judge in the film craft category. 'The jury room for film craft instinctively steered away this year from anything that felt too slick, post produced or AI driven,' Ms Smart said. 'As a group we were drawn to work that showed humanity – anything hand crafted, and where emotional or humorous elements stood out. Originality was key.' She said work that was surprising, quirky and original caught the judges attention. However, there was also a big push to go beyond the creative aesthetics and reward the work that works, which impacted another significant theme to dominate the festival, as judges looked to award work that delivered results for businesses. Clerehan founder Esther Clerehan said for the Glass Lions category, which recognises work that creates change, the jury focus was firmly on the outcomes of the activity. 'The bottom line for the jury came down to impact. Brand alignment was also a recurring part of discussions but always the emphasis was on the impact of the work. Some work scored really well on creativity, but when the most weight is applied to the results, a clever idea can flounder if its case relies heavily on impressions and awareness,' said Ms Clerehan. Ms Haysom agreed. 'Impact was a non-negotiable for our jury, and most of the cases reviewed had incredible impact for business, customers, or in the case of those who were recognised with Lions, they had impact on both business and customers with strong outcomes against tangible metrics.' Impact was also a crucial theme for the creative strategy category jury, which included VML chief strategy officer Alison Tilling. She said the debut of the long-term brand platform award, while challenging to judge, provided a showcase of 'the greatest hits of advertising' with Dove's Real Beauty campaign scooping the Grand Prix. '(Dove) has written the playbook for consistently fresh work off a single platform over the past 20 years,' Ms Tilling said. 'What does it say when a 20-year-old strategy wins? I think it should scream loud and clear that when you have a strong positioning or theme you play to it clearly but with a strong sense of what's happening in culture at that moment.'
