Chromatica may have come and gone, but now, the Dawn has officially arrived.

Lady Gaga dropped her brand new remix album Dawn of Chromatica on Friday (Sept. 3) via Interscope Records. The LP, featuring revamped versions of the songs off her 2020 Billboard 200 No. 1 album, was confirmed by Gaga in mid August when she told her fans on Twitter that the album "is so f---ing fuego," before she officially unveiled its release date on Monday (Aug. 30).

The new project, produced by Gaga's Chromatica collaborator BloodPop, features a bevy of artists offering their own versions of tracks such as "Rain on Me," "Stupid Love" and many more. Among the artists included are Charli XCX, Rina Sawayama, Arca, Pabllo Vittar, Ashnikko, Shygirl, Dorian Electra, LSDXOXO, Bree Runway, A.G. Cook and more.

Rumors surrounding Dawn of Chromatica first started swirling when BloodPop teasingly asked fans who they would want included on the album. "In theory - which artists would y’all want to see on a Chromatica remix album (and on what song)," he tweeted before tagging Sawayama in the post directly following his teaser.

Dawn of Chromatica isn't the only Lady Gaga album that fans can look forward to in 2021. Earlier in August, Mother Monster announced that she and Tony Bennett would be reuniting with another album of jazz standards, this time paying tribute to Cole Porter, titled Love for Sale, due out Oct. 1, 2021. The pair shared their first single off the album, "I Get A Kick Out of You," alongside the announcement on Aug. 3.

David Lee Roth made an unexpected appearance at the Stagecoach Festival on Saturday evening, stepping onto the stage with Teddy Swims to perform “Jump,” the iconic 1984 hit by Van Halen.

During his Stagecoach set, Swims welcomed Roth after running through his recent single “Mr. Know It All” along with “Some Things I’ll Never Know,” both taken from his debut studio album I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1), which arrived in September 2023.

 

This moment marked the third straight festival where the two have shared the stage. Swims previously invited Roth out during recent sets at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, where he introduced him as “David Lee Roth from the best band of all time, Van Halen,” before they kicked into “Jump” together.

The latest performance unfolded during a chaotic night at Stagecoach, as strong winds earlier in the evening led to a temporary evacuation of the grounds and forced several changes to the schedule, including removing artists such as Journey and Riley Green from the lineup.

The evacuation came after powerful gusts swept through the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, the site of the festival. An “emergency evacuation” notice appeared on screens across the venue, urging attendees to “move quickly and calmly to the nearest exit,” while alerts sent through the festival’s official app instructed people to clear the area.

The interruption impacted several stages, with the Mane Stage sitting between sets when the evacuation alert was issued. Wind conditions had been intensifying throughout the day, with stronger gusts arriving in the evening as part of a regional wind advisory.

Even with the disruption, Swims’ set ultimately continued, and Roth’s surprise appearance stood out as one of the biggest highlights of the night as fans returned once the festival resumed.

Stagecoach, one of the largest country music festivals in the United States, takes place every year at the same location as the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and regularly draws tens of thousands of fans.
