The Wonder: World Tour will be the 23-year-old Canadian singer’s fourth.

Wonder is Mendes’ fourth album for Island Records, released in Dec. of 2020, preceded by a Netflix doc exploring the singer’s off-stage life. The album debuted in Canada and the US at No. 1 and included Monster–the hit collaboration co-written with Canadians’ Justin Bieber, Daniel Caesar producer Frank Dukes, and Mustafa the Poet (born Mustafa Ahmed).

In Aug. 2021, Mendes released Summer of Love, a song co-written with Puerto Rican record producer Tainy (Marco Masis). These two first performed it a month later on the MTV Video Awards.

Kneecap Blasts Norwegian Government at Oslo Festival, Accusing It of Funding ‘Genocide’ Against Palestinians

The Irish rap trio went after the Norwegian government over its investments, which are currently under scrutiny, at Øyafestivalen.

Irish rap group Kneecap – which has drawn a storm of criticism, support, attention and legal action over the past half-year – continued to speak out about the war in Gaza during an afternoon set at the Øyafestivalen in Oslo, Norway, on Friday (Aug. 8).

Right before the trio of Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap and DJ Próvaí took the stage, an English-language white-text-on-black-background message played on a video screen, accusing the Norwegian government of “enabling” the “genocide” against the Palestinian people via investments held in the county’s sovereign wealth fund (referenced as “oil pension fund” in the message). “Over 80,000 people have been murdered by Israel in 21 months,” the band’s message continued. “Free Palestine.” The message was greeted readily by a cheering audience. Most estimates (including those from health officials in the area) place the Palestinian death toll at more than 60,000. That number does not distinguish between civilians and Hamas militants. An estimated 18,500 of those killed were children.
