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.

From Paris to Montreal: Why French Rappers See Quebec As a Gateway to North America

With Montreal emerging as a crucial destination for French hip-hop artists, Billboard Canada speaks to industry insiders from both sides of the ocean to explore the phenomenon.

Quebec’s French rap scene is gaining recognition on the international stage, and the exchange goes both ways.

Rappers from France are also turning their focus toward North America, viewing Quebec as a vital stepping stone to the United States. With its cultural richness and diverse influences, French rap has transformed into a global force, and many artists are now pushing beyond Europe’s borders. With hip-hop reigning as a dominant genre in the U.S., Quebec has become an ideal springboard for artists looking to extend their reach.
