The US government has long had its sights set on Live Nation and Ticketmaster, the behemoth concert promoter and ticket seller, which merged in 2010. Last year the Justice Department filed an antitrust lawsuit against Live Nation Entertainment, while the House of Representatives passed the TICKET Act, which demands transparency in ticket pricing. (It failed to become law before the current congressional term began in January; another version of the TICKET Act was introduced in February, but it’s yet to pass the House or Senate.)

What’s with these homies dissin’ my girl? This is a question Rivers Cuomo has wondered many times, and now Olivia Rodrigo is wondering as well. Last night the pop star — who also recently brought out David Byrne for Talking Heads’ “Burning Down The House” at Gov Ball and Robert Smith for some Cure hits at Glastonbury — was joined by Weezer at Lollapalooza for “Buddy Holly” and “Say It Ain’t So.”

If any Glastonbury attendees somehow didn’t know about the Cure before the festival this weekend, they probably do now. On Friday, Gracie Abrams did a cover of their 1987 classic “Just Like Heaven,” describing it as one of her “favorite songs ever” and that she wish she wrote it. Tonight’s headliner is Abrams’ former tourmate Olivia Rodrigo, who earlier this month brought out David Byrne to do Talking Heads’ “Burning Down The House” together during her headlining Governors Ball set. Rodrigo is a Cure fan, too, and also did a cover of “Just Like Heaven” at Glastonbury along with “Friday I’m In Love.” Oh, and Robert Smith joined her.
