Swedish pop icons, four Stockholm-born duo-influenced legends of global charts
Ariana Grande has released her eighth album, Petal, and opened the Eternal Sunshine tour in London, delivering pared-back, darker songs and stripped live moments. Reviews have praised her vocal control and new material while noting production choices that bury her trademark power and that the tour feels like a possible farewell to a high-profile era.
AVROTROS has announced it will not participate in Eurovision 2027, saying the contest can no longer be considered neutral because a participating country remains involved in a large-scale military conflict. The broadcaster has returned responsibility for Dutch participation to NPO, which could decide whether another Dutch channel will step in.
Channel 4’s Apocalypse puts 14 strangers in an abandoned Indiana town to survive 28 days with scarce resources. Two camps, tense leadership struggles, and board-up supermarkets mark the early days of the social experiment.
RTÉ has confirmed it will not participate in or broadcast Eurovision 2027, citing the ongoing humanitarian crisis and loss of life in Gaza and restricted access for international journalists. The decision follows earlier boycotts by other European broadcasters and comes after the EBU barred countries in armed conflict from hosting.
