Three 6 Mafia Announce First Indoor Arena Concert Since Pandemic Restrictions
Three 6 Mafia will be playing the first indoor arena show since the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic first forced restrictions on mass gatherings and indoor events.
The Memphis legends will be touching down in Lexington, Kentucky on December 11, but they assure fans that their safety is still a priority, citing approval from Kentucky governor Andy Beshear.
“LETS STAY SAFE AND MAKE HISTORY TOGETHER!” wrote Juicy J in an Instagram post announcing the concert. “THE GOVERNOR APPROVED! WE GONNA WEAR OUR MASKS! WE SOCIAL DISTANCING! WE GONNA BE IN GROUPS OF 4 ONLY!!”
Lexington’s Rupp Arena will only sell enough tickets to fill the space at 15% capacity. Total occupancy in the building will be restricted at 3,100 people, including both staff and concertgoers.
It seems the pandemic has been getting the best of artists and venues, with plenty of shows in recent memory that have been skirting or ignoring COVID-19 precautions altogether. Polo G recently performed at a packed venue in South Dakota, for example, and the footage looks startlingly pre-COVID.
Still, December 11 is a long time ahead so only time will tell if the decision to play an indoor concert at this stage of the pandemic was foolhardy or not.
What are your thoughts on how artists and venues are gradually easing back into live concerts?

Snoop Dogg Wants To Pay Someone $10,000 A Month To Eat Ice Cream
Snoop Dogg has had a lot of job titles over the years, but “official ice cream taster” wasn’t one of them until now — and he’s hiring someone else to fill it. His company Dr. Bombay just opened applications for the role, and it pays $10,000 a month.
The gig is fully remote and open to anyone on the planet, which Snoop announced himself in a video that’s exactly as laid-back as you’d expect. “I love the paper, but not the paperwork,” he said, explaining that HR firm Deel is handling the logistics while he handles, presumably, the ice cream.
The actual job is less “sit around and eat pints all day” and more part-time cultural scout. Whoever gets it will track flavor and food trends around the world, report back on what people are eating and talking about, and work directly with Dr. Bombay’s in-house flavor lead to help shape what the brand does next. It’s a three-month contractor role, and Snoop’s team says they’re actively looking outside the usual resume pile — creators and non-traditional applicants welcome.
Dr. Bombay itself leans nostalgic, with flavors like Long Beach Fruit Cart, Sticky Caramel Apple Pie, and Peanut Butter Jelly Time already sitting on shelves at Walmart and moving through DoorDash and Instacart. Somewhere out there is one very lucky applicant about to get paid five figures a month to have opinions about ice cream, and honestly, good for them.

Ronan Furlong finds renewal in the sea with latest release “Splitting The Ash”
“Splitting The Ash” opens with a distinctly Celtic riff before Ronan Furlong moves into an energetic song influenced by ideas of healing, rebirth, and spiritual renewal. The title and subject of the song are based on an ancient Irish ritual in which an ash tree is split open, giving the song a strong link to tradition, while its message is firmly rooted in the present: finding strength, renewal, and inspiration when life puts barriers in your way.
The sea is central to the track’s feeling, a symbol of challenge and regeneration. Furlong links his power to the resilience that can develop from exceeding physical boundaries. The song’s backstory lends that notion further weight, penned during a swim in the Irish Sea in January. The music’s context of creation gives it a particularly direct relationship with endurance and the willingness to push beyond discomfort.
“Splitting The Ash” ultimately feels life-affirming but never loses sight of struggle. The Celtic opening of the song gives an immediate sense of place, while its focus on renewal keeps the message open and universal. Ronan Furlong uses an old image of healing to remind us that difficult experiences can also be a source of strength, inspiration, and a renewed connection to life.
