The results of the trials will inform government guidance about how venues should operate when they reopen at the end of June. So far, trials of mass events appear to have yielded positive results. Primavera Sound hosted one of Europe’s first non-socially distanced gigs in December, resulting in no infection rate among the 1,000 attendees.
In November, the Night Time Industries Association (NTIA) warned that nightclubs in the UK face extinction due to COVID and a lack of government support. Speaking to Dazed, NTIA’s CEO Michael Kill said: “Without support, businesses will be lost. The once-strong sector of over 1,400 venues pre-covid will shrink by an estimated 50/60 per cent, which will lead to a shortage of venues and events which are fundamental to the growth and support of the electronic music industry.”
Vroom Vroom EP, which was released shortly before these sessions, SOPHIE’s work on

Euphoria star strikes a rebellious pose in a hot pink overshirt, which is immediately offset by the sudden entrance of a demurely shot LBD. It’s the same swing in extremes that were present on the runway last September where linear, monochromatic looks abruptly bloomed into bright, ethereal cape dresses blasted with vibrantly-hued floral prints.
For creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli, “equality, inclusivity, and empathy” are core values of the fashion house, so uniting with Zendaya was always going to be a no brainer. Just last year she was heralded as a visionary and last weekend, she accepted the SeeHer accolade (dressed in Valentino couture, obvs) at The Critics Choice Awards, which honours women who push boundaries and defy stereotypes within the entertainment industry.

Not only has Musk crowned himself the king of his electric car kingdom, but he’s rebranded Tesla CFO Zach Kirkhorn’s position as the ‘Master of Coin’ too. The new title is presumably a reference to the company’s $1.5bn (£1.1bn) purchase of Bitcoin this year, though this is speculation.
“Effective as of March 15, 2021, the titles of Elon Musk and Zach Kirkhorn have changed to Technoking of Tesla and Master of Coin, respectively,” the electric car company said in a new regulatory filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The new song isn’t Musk’s first rodeo. Last year, he released an EDM track, “Don’t Doubt ur Vibe” on his very own record label, Emo G Records (lol). He’s also currently developing a chip that streams music directly into your brain. We’ll leave you to join the dots.
