Today, Rolling Stone released the first of four covers of its highly anticipated Future of Music issue, starring Benson Boone. Senior Writer Brian Hiatt visited the 22-year-old singer at his home in Utah to delve into the mind of the young superstar as he puts the finishing touches on a new album, tentatively titled American Heart. Boone, whose “Beautiful Things” was the biggest song in the world last year, gave the most in-depth and revealing interview of his career so far, opening up about everything from faith to body-image issues to opening for Taylor Swift on the Eras Tour.

Like the other Future of Music cover stars that will be unveiled this week, Benson Boone is also featured on the Rolling Stone Future 25 list, the annual rundown of the artists who have the Rolling Stone staff most excited about the music of tomorrow. Rolling Stone’s Future 25 list will go live on March 19, with the International Future of Music package to follow on March 27.

The Future of Music issue celebrates the rising stars of music who are dreaming up new sounds and inspiring new movements. Rolling Stone’sFuture of Music showcase at SXSW, presented by JBL, kicks off tonight, March 11th, in Austin, Texas with Benson Boone headlining. The showcase continues through Friday, March 14th.

Rolling Stone Presents: Amplified,The Immersive Rock Experience, an unprecedented 360-degree immersive experience opening March 12, 2025, at Illuminarium Las Vegas at AREA15. This first of its kind spectacle is a mind-blowing celebration the music, history, imagery and culture of rock ‘n’ roll, encompassing over 1,000 photographs, 200 videos, 1,300 Rolling Stone covers, and featuring over 300 iconic artists whose music changed the world.

Drawing from rare live performance and behind-the-scenes footage, never-before-seen moments, exclusive portrait sessions, album art, and posters, Rolling Stone Presents: Amplified will deliver one of the most comprehensive collections of rock ‘n’ roll imagery ever assembled.  Narrated by actor/musician Kevin Bacon, this visual, historical, and sonic tour spans genres and generations, offering powerful insights into rock’s influential past and living present.  Above all else, Amplified is a celebration full of music and exultation – a chance to step inside what Jimi Hendrix once called The Electric Church. 

“We are proud to partner with Illuminarium and a top-tier creative team to present Amplified, a powerful story of rock ‘n’ roll – one that echoes our own legacy and the deep cultural impact this music has made,” said Gus Wenner, Chief Executive Officer of Rolling Stone. “Amplified is a uniquely immersive experience and transports you through the history of rock ‘n’ roll – past and present – through sight, sound, and motion.”

Rolling Stone Presents: Amplified was created by Brand New World Studios exclusively for Illuminarium, a sensory space of 360-degree sight, sound, and unprecedented scale, powered by the world’s most advanced 4K laser projection, 3D audio and interactive technologies.  

“We can think of no better partner than Rolling Stone, the authoritative voice that has chronicled the history of rock, to embark on our newest, most unique experience,” said Alan Greenberg, CEO of Illuminarium.  “Our guests will be awestruck by the sound and images from floor to ceiling. This is much more than a show – it’s a time machine for music fans of all ages.”   

‍

The Rolling Stone Presents: Amplified experience begins the moment guests arrive, including interactive lobby elements, a real rock show merchandise experience and a full-service bar to enjoy before the journey begins. Guests will then be guided through eight transformative chapters devoted to rock's greatest artists, the message of their music, and the way it shaped not just sound, but the world around it - from the hair, the cars, the clothes to the fans and so much more.

‍

“Rolling Stone Presents: Amplified is the ultimate immersive rock experience, a journey through rock ‘n’ roll and its impact on popular culture,” saysExecutive Producer Brad Siegel, Founder of Brand New World Studios. “It’s full of breathtaking images and music, but we knew it needed to be more than a wild ride; it needed to be a story that explored the impact of the soundtrack of our lives because stories bring people together, help us interpret our experiences and find meaning.” 

The power of rock ‘n’ roll has always been captured in electrifying imagery. Over 500photographers and film directors like Mark Seliger, Danny Clinch, LynnGoldsmith, Anton Corbijn, Bob Gruen, Jim Marshall, Neil Preston, JanetteBeckman, and Pooneh Ghana took risks and pushed boundaries, just like the musicians they immortalized.  

“Music imagery is about experiences,” says Jodi Peckman, Executive Producer and formerCreative Director of Rolling Stone.  “It’s about the unbridled joy of concerts and our connection to our favorite artists. Every picture tells a story and Rolling Stone Presents: Amplified has hundreds of stories to tell.” 

The experience unites executive producer Brad Siegel, whose transformative leadership at TNT, TCM and Cartoon Network shaped contemporary media, with three-decade Rolling Stone veteran Jodi Peckman, bringing her iconic visual perspective as Photography and Film Curator working alongside Director of Photography Meghan Benson and former Rolling Stone Executive Editor Joe Levy whose writing and music supervision delivered a transformative story and music experience.  The experience's revolutionary design and visual narrative comes from Pentagram principals AbbottMiller and Emily Oberman, with motion design by Good Company andOscar-winning Sound Designer Peter Lehman and Supervising Producer KevinWagner creating the sonic landscape.  

Rolling Stone and Illuminarium’s multi-year licensing partnership will bring immersive, music driven experiences to audiences across multiple markets in the U.S. and internationally.

New York, NY, September 3, 2024 — Today, Women’s Wear Daily (WWD), the definitive voice of the fashion industry, proudly launches BLACK IN FASHION: 100 Years of Style, Influence, and Culture, published in partnership with Union Square & Co. The landmark publication, available now, marks the first-ever WWD book derived from the Fairchild Archives.

Authored by Tonya Blazio-Licorish and Tara Donaldson, BLACK IN FASHION offers a stunning and comprehensive exploration of the pivotal roles played by Black designers, models, scene-makers, and stylists in shaping the fashion landscape, as captured by WWD since its inception in 1910. Celebrating more than a century of style, the book details the profound impact of iconic figures such as Stephen Burrows, Virgil Abloh, Naomi Sims, Josephine Baker, André Leon Talley, and many more.

The book features over 375 photographs (both black-and-white and color), illustrations, and original articles from WWD’s extensive archive, as well as in-depth profiles, exclusive interviews, and an insightful foreword by fashion designer Tracy Reese.

"This book comes at a pivotal time for both WWD and the broader fashion industry,” said Amanda Smith, President of Fairchild Media Group. BLACK IN FASHIONcelebrates the vibrant legacy and ongoing impact of Black talent in fashion. We are proud to contribute to the enduring narrative of diversity and innovation that defines our industry.”

“We are thrilled to partner with brands as storied as Fairchild and WWD,” said Amanda Englander, Editorial Director of Union Square & Co. “With BLACK IN FASHION, our shared goal has been to tell the stories and celebrate the legacies of the inimitable Black contributors who’ve impacted the industry, gathering them into a beautiful and category-defining retrospective that both book and fashion lovers can pore over and treasure for many years to come.”

BLACK IN FASHION will also be the spotlight of a discussion on September 13, 6:00 p.m., at Rizzoli Bookstore, 1133 Broadway, in New York City. The evening will feature BLACK IN FASHION author Tonya Blazio-Licorish in conversation with designer and author Jeffrey Banks.

Today, CBS and the Golden Globes® announced that acclaimed Emmy®-nominated comedian and actress Nikki Glaser is set to host the 82ND ANNUAL GOLDEN GLOBES®, the first major award show of the season, airing Sunday, January 5, 2025 (8:00-11:00 PM, live ET/5:00-8:00 PM, live PT) on the CBS Television Network, and streaming on Paramount+ in the U.S. (live and on-demand for Paramount+ with SHOWTIME subscribers, or on-demand for Paramount+ Essential subscribers the day after the special airs).*

“I am absolutely thrilled to be hosting the Golden Globes. It’s one of my favorite nights of television and now I get a front row seat (actually, I think I have to host from the stage),” said Glaser. “The Golden Globes is not only a huge night for TV and film, but also for comedy. It’s one of the few times that show business not only allows, but encourages itself to be lovingly mocked (at least I hope so). (God I hope so). It’s an exciting, yet challenging gig because it’s live, unpredictable, and in front of Hollywood’s biggest stars (who also might be getting wasted while seated next to their recent exes).”

Glaser continued, “Some of my favorite jokes of all time have come from past Golden Globes opening monologues when Tina, Amy, or Ricky have said exactly what we all didn’t know we desperately needed to hear. I just hope to continue in that time honored tradition (that might also get me canceled). This is truly a dream job. Plus, I no longer have to feel guilty for every TV show and movie I’ve binged over the past year. It was all worth it. (Below Deck: Sailing Yacht Season Four will be nominated, right?).”

"Nikki Glaser brings a fresh and unmatched candor to her comedy and to the Golden Globes," said Jay Penske, Chairman and CEO, of Dick Clark Productions and Penske Media. "Her unapologetic style made her an obvious and compelling choice as host for this year’s event. We're hopeful this could be the first of many Golden Globes that Nikki will surprise and delight our CBS audience, as well as our audiences around the globe."

“The Golden Globes has a rich history as a night for entertaining, provocative humor,” said George Cheeks, Office of the CEO, Paramount Global, President and Chief Executive Officer, CBS. “Nikki Glaser is a comedic force whose funny, bold and irreverent comedy will continue that legacy and further establish this special as a can’t miss event on CBS.”

"Nikki Glaser is a comedic powerhouse whose daring and unfiltered humor is the perfect match for the Golden Globes,” said Helen Hoehne, President, Golden Globes. “She is sure to bring a unique energy and spontaneity to the show that will keep the audience entertained all night."

Known for her razor-sharp wit and fearless humor, Nikki Glaser has established herself as one of the funniest voices in comedy today.  In August of this year, the Los Angeles Times boldly described the knock-out comic, “Nikki Glaser is suddenly the hottest name in comedy."  Previously Glaser headlined her first critically-acclaimed HBO comedy special “Good Clean Filth” in 2022, and earned an EMMY nomination for this year’s “Nikki Glaser: Someday You'll Die,” which set the record for both the best premiere night for an HBO comedy special in more than two years and for the #1 largest streaming audience for a Comedy Special in HBO Max/Max history. In 2021, Glaser launched “The Nikki Glaser Podcast” for iHeartMedia and Will Ferrell’s Big Money Players Podcast Network (BMP). She currently hosts and executive produces “Lovers and Liars,” the spinoff of the hit HBO Max and CW reality dating series “FBoy Island,” which Glaser hosted and executive produced for three seasons. Glaser recently wrapped her global THE GOOD GIRL stand-up tour and is currently on her ALIVE AND UNWELL tour across the country through May 2025.

The Golden Globe Awards, often referred to as “Hollywood’s Party of the Year®,” is the largest awards show in the world to celebrate the best of both film and television. Multi-Emmy Award®-winning producing duo Glenn Weiss and Ricky Kirshner of White Cherry Entertainment (WCE) will return as executive producing showrunners for the 82nd Golden Globes.  Dick Clark Productions will plan, host and produce the annual Golden Globes, which has been viewed in more than 185 countries and territories worldwide.  

CBS’ broadcast of the 81ST ANNUAL GOLDEN GLOBES® on Sunday, January 7, 2024, averaged 10 million viewers (Nielsen Live+7-Day national ratings), up nearly +50% from last year, its largest audience since 2020, making it the 3rd largest televised award show in the world approaching the Grammys and Oscars. The telecast was also the third-largest live-streamed CBS special event on Paramount+ ever in terms of AMA and reach.

Entries for Motion Picture and Television submissions must be completed online HERE, and the deadline is Monday, November 4, 2024.  The awards timetable, rules and categories can be found HERE.  Nominations are set to be announced on Monday, December 9, 2024.
