KATSEYE took the stage at the 2025 MTV VMAs in the hottest shoe for fall, and everyone’s taking note.

The girl group graced the show’s stage on Sept. 7 to perform its hit track “Gnarly” in Steve Madden moto boots in three styles — the Rampage, Astor and Riggs, all in black. Each style is currently available to shop on Steve Madden’s website. The grungy silhouette is currently a hit, especially with the fall just weeks away. Not just for riding a motorcycle, these boots have been spotted on some famous feet, including those of Hailey Bieber, Dua Lipa and Emily Ratajkowski.

It’s hard not to spot these boots out in public, especially the Rampage. The Rampage and Astor retail for $159.95, while the less hardware-heavy option, the Riggs, retails for $199.95. Steve Madden’s Rocky boot is also another popular moto boot model.

While the silhouette is quite simple, it’s a stylish pick, especially if you’re looking to amp up your footwear game ahead of fall and winter. Each style sits just below the knee and is crafted with majority leather and comes equipped with a short block heel standing at 1.75 inches, save for the Astor at 2 inches.

The Astor and Rampage are equipped with silver hardware that offers the boots a grungier finish. The Riggs is a plain option for those looking for something less loud. Every KATSEYE member wore a Steve Madden style with a daring stage outfit, consisting of micro shorts or an asymmetric skirt. On top, the members wore what looked to be bodysuits or bustiers, some in blue, while others wore red or black. Yoonchae and Sophia wore dresses.

While moto boots aren’t a new concept, the style began gaining traction again when Miu Miu dropped its version aptly dubbed the Leather Boot in the fall of 2022 and 2023. This catapulted the style back into the mainstream, breathing new life into the classic in innovative ways. Since then, many brands have come to produce moto boots in a slew of styles and colorways. The phenom speaks to the power of the trend cycle, solidifying that hot new pieces will go in and out of fashion as long as the industry allows it.

With Halloween fast approaching, it’s time to start thinking about what you’ll be dressing your little ones as.

The obvious choice? Characters from KPop Demon Hunters, of course. The movie has taken over mainstream media, becoming a viral sensation across the globe with no end in sight. You’re bound to see a bunch of Rumis and Jinus running around this spooky season. Why not get ahead of the game and shop costumes now from Amazon?

The retailer just added a few KPop Demon Hunters costumes to its inventory, and they’re pretty cute. The best part? None of them are more than $30. You’ve got costumes for every HUNTR/X member, from fearless vocalist Rumi and the group’s dancer Mira to rapper Zoey. Kids’ sizing on these costumes ranges from three to four years up to 13 to 14 years, giving everyone ample opportunity to dress like their demon-hunting favorites.

Each costume is very accurate to the film, down to the zippers, to help make your little one feel as if they just stepped out of the film. The costumes come with a top and bottom, and are made of soft milk silk, a breathable fabric that doesn’t irritate the skin. Purple hair and space buns are not included. Footwear is not included with the costumes, which means you’ll just have to get creative.

Netflix’s animated film dropped back in June, focusing on the popular phenom that is K-pop. The film follows fictional world-renowned K-pop girl group HUNTR/X, which consists of members Rumi, Mira and Zoey. The group sings and performs, while secretly slaying demons when not on stage. The movie has since spawned everything from coloring books to Funko figures that have sold like hotcakes. The animation is vibrant, while the dialogue and accompanying songs are both funny and touching.

Hit K-pop girl group TWICE performs the version of HUNTR/X’s “Takedown” that appears during the credits. Kevin Woo, who provided the singing voice for Saja Boys’ Mystery Saja, is from the K-pop boy band U-KISS. It’s clear that the producers of the film had an appreciation for the music genre and current artists.

Could Coldplay Surpass Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour Record With Spheres Tour Extension?

Published

on

By

Coldplay has been around the world and back since launching the Music of the Spheres World Tour in 2022. More than 200 shows deep, it’s already the bestselling tour in history and one of just two treks to gross more than $1 billion. But while a 10-show run at London’s Wembley Stadium looked like it might be the big finale, a tease of more than 100 additional dates will add one more honor: It’s now poised to become the highest grossing tour ever.

Coldplay Tops July Boxscore Report As Tour Surpasses $1 Billion in Grosses

Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres World Tour Is the Biggest Rock Tour of All Time

Taylor Swift performs onstage during "Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour" at Rogers Centre on November 14, 2024 in Toronto, Ontario.

Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour Wraps as First Tour to Pass $2 Billion in Sales

On stage at the band’s ninth of 10 Wembley concerts on Sept. 6, Martin announced there would be 138 more shows on the Music of the Spheres World Tour, marathoning toward a thematically fitting total of 360 dates. Those additions will easily make it the second tour to gross more than $2 billion, likely sailing past Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour (2023-24).

According to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore, the Music of the Spheres World Tour has brought in $1.38 billion in its first 211 shows, current through July 27. Over the last four years, Coldplay has averaged $6.6 million per show. Using the simplest math, the upcoming 138 dates would add $904 million, plus more than another $100 million from the current U.K. leg, resulting in a final gross circling $2.4 billion. The Eras Tour finished under $2.1 billion last December.

But that $6.6 million average is across all continents and dates back to 2022. Tour grosses have steadily risen since then, for Coldplay and most major touring artists, due to spiked ticket prices and increased momentum. The tour’s first leg paced $4.1 million per night in Latin America, increasing to $4.6 million later that year, and to $5.9 million in Brazil in 2023. North American shows averaged $5.7 million in 2022, $6.7 million in 2023 and most recently, $6.9 million during summer 2025. Shows in Europe and Australia reached $7.8 million per night in 2024, and the 2023-24 leg in Asia peaked at $8.1 million.

All that to say that the specific geographic routing of Coldplay’s remaining shows will heavily impact where the grosses land, though one can expect additional rise in ticket prices by the time the tour resumes in 2027. When all is said and done, the Music of the Spheres World Tour is likely to exceed $2.5 billion in total ticket revenue.

So far, Coldplay’s tour has sold 12.3 million tickets, surpassing The Eras Tour’s 10.2 million and 8.9 million on Ed Sheeran’s The Divide Tour (2017-19). By the end of the 360-show trek, the Music of the Spheres World Tour could become the first to surpass 20 million tickets.

Prior to this trek’s launch, the British quartet had grossed a reported $902 million and sold 10.8 million tickets. Once all shows have played, the Music of the Spheres World Tour will account for roughly two thirds of Coldplay’s touring totals.

Coldplay’s goal of 360 shows on one tour is ambitious. It dwarfs The Eras Tour’s 149 and even more so Beyoncé’s record-breaking Cowboy Carter Tour, which lasted just 32 shows. Among fellow bestsellers in Boxscore history, it’d surpass Elton John’s Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour (329), The Garth Brooks World Tour (318) and Sheeran’s The Divide Tour (258).

Coldplay is perhaps one of the few acts who can sustain such an expansive tour. The international spread on the Music of the Spheres Tour has been far and wide, from 10 sold-out shows in Buenos Aires to six in Singapore and 99 across Europe. Earlier this year, the band’s first shows in India broke records for the most attended stadiums shows of the century with 111,000 fans each night.

Good news Louis Tomlinson fans: the former One Direction singer is prepping his third solo studio album and he sounds pretty, pretty chuffed about it. On Tuesday (Sept. 9) the “Walls” singer announced that the unnamed LP is coming along nicely.

Why Louis Tomlinson Is One Direction’s Unsung Solo Star

“Just sat listening to the new record and I’ve got a really really good feeling this time around!” he wrote on X. “Can’t wait for you all to hear it!!”

Fans were equally excited, writing in the comments, “None of your records have disappointed thus far! Can’t wait!!,” “we also eager to hear it,” “count the days to listen to it!! I’m sure it’s going to be great!,” “sure just make us jealous that we can’t hear it yet” and “So so so so so ready to hear it!!”

The album will be the follow-up to 2022’s Faith in the Future, which featured the singles “Bigger Than Me,” “Out of My System” and “Silver Tongues.” That LP debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 album chart and was Tomlinson’s first to debut at No. 1 on the UK album charts.

Tomlinson has not yet announced a release date or title for his third effort, though he has begun lining up some live dates in the meantime and it sounds like fans might get a sneak peek next month. When a fan expressed frustration at the lack of information, Tomlinson teased, “or maybe I’m going to play something new at away from home,” following up with “it’s about time isn’t it” and “Really really excited about it! Got a few surprises. Should be fun.”

Tomlinson will headline the upcoming New York edition of his Away From Home Festival (Oct. 4-5) at Brewery Ommegang in Cooperstown, where he will appear alongside his curated list of fellow performers, which include Lauv, Steve Aoki, Plain White T’s, Daya, Circa Waves, Pale Waves and others.

He’s also on the roster for BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge Month 2025 in October, which will find a roster of superstars performing on the network’s morning radio show at noon GMT on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays throughout the month. Tomlinson will take the stage on Oct. 29, following sets from Olivia Dean, Conan Gray, Myles Smith, MGK, PinkPantheress, Robbie Williams, The Last Dinner Party, Skye Newman, Reneé Rapp, Lewis Capaldi, Demi Lovato, Wet Leg and Mumford & Sons. Live Lounge guests typically perform one of their own songs as well as a cover song.
