DJ Khaled and The Kid LAROI are headed to the NHL Stanley Cup Final — but the duo won’t be lacing up their skates (although we would love to see Khaled on the ice).

The NHL tapped Miami resident DJ Khaled and the “Stay” hitmaker to headline the Stanley Cup Concert Series presented by BODYARMOR heading into games 1 and 2 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers.


The Kid LAROI will break the ice with a performance prior to game 1 on Saturday night (June 8), while the We the Best mogul is set to helm Monday night’s outing in Sunrise, Florida.

Both concerts will be open to the public with no game ticket required for attendees. The shows will kick off at 6 p.m. ET in Lot C2 outside Amerant Bank Arena before the 8 p.m. ET puck drop inside.

Portions of both performances from Khaled and LAROI will be utilized as part of the Stanley Cup Final game broadcasts. In addition to the concert series, fans should be on the lookout for more artist performances and special guests.

Next week will be a busy one for Khaled. In addition to performing at the Stanley Cup, he’s hosting his second annual We The Best Foundation Jordan Golf Classic on June 13, which will feature professional golfers like Bubba Watson and athletes such as Odell Beckham Jr. playing in Miami.

As for The Kid LAROI, he’s currently on the road for his The First Time Tour, which hits Atlanta on Friday (June 7) before the Aussie takes over the Stanley Cup Concert Series on Saturday. The grind doesn’t stop, as he’ll stay in Florida for a pair of shows in Tampa Bay and Miami.

In This Season of Giving, Mariah Carey Shares Throwback Clip From 1994 Manifesting a Potential Christmas Classic One Day: ‘So Grateful’

MC only had to wait 25 years for her all-time holiday classic "All I Want For Christmas Is You" to hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Mariah Carey is the undisputed Queen of Christmas. The pop singer has lorded over the holiday charts for the past six years with her ubiquitous wintertime classic “All I Want For Christmas Is You.” It seems hard to believe it now if you’ve been anywhere near a store since Halloween, but the yuletide favorite that was released in 1994 did not chart until 2000 and did not hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 until 2019, fully 25 years after it first hit our ears.

Now, as the holidays really ramp up, the best-selling Christmas song of all time in the U.S. seems like a no-brainer to top the charts every year. But on Tuesday (Dec. 9), MC gave thanks for how it all started in a throwback video she re-posted from a fan feed of an interview she did in 1994 in which she was asked if she hopes one of the songs from her first holiday album, that year’s Merry Christmas, might some day be as ubiquitous as such standards as “White Christmas” or “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree.”
