Kevin Hart‘s Hartbeat Weekend is making a triumphant return to Las Vegas from August 29 to September 1. The star-studded event, hosted at the Resorts World Casino, will feature powerhouse performances by Lil Wayne and Ludacris. This year, Hart is also set to deliver a side-splitting set from his “Acting My Age” comedy tour, wrapping up the weekend with a bang.

Last July, Hartbeat Weekend dazzled fans with performances by J. Cole, Jack Harlow, and Ludacris, alongside the finale of Hart’s Reality Check tour, which was filmed for Peacock. Beyond the music and comedy, attendees can look forward to a celebrity poker tournament curated by Hart himself, featuring 50 handpicked stars.

“Hartbeat Weekend is all about celebrating the very best in comedy, culture, and music, and this year we’re taking it to a whole new level,” Hart shared with Billboard. “I can’t wait for everyone to join us for a weekend packed with laughter, entertainment, and unforgettable moments.” Peter LaVoie, president of Resorts World Las Vegas, echoed the excitement, adding, “We’re looking forward to welcoming Hartbeat Weekend back this year. We’ve enjoyed partnering with Kevin and his team on this iconic weekend and his shows in the theatre throughout the year. Hartbeat Weekend 2024 will be another incredible experience for our guests.”

Lil Wayne, fresh off several high-energy performances, was recently seen reciting lyrics to Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” in Vegas, sparking buzz among fans. Meanwhile, Ludacris made headlines with a free concert in Milwaukee, despite weather-related cancellations.

Tickets for Hartbeat Weekend go on sale this Friday, July 19, at 10 AM PST. Don’t miss out on this explosive weekend of comedy, music, and unforgettable moments!

“Summer Is Gone” by Anjalts is an ode to fading romance”

Anjalts

“Summer Is Gone,” a pop song by Anjalts, is thoughtful and emotionally very clear, and it feels like the last golden hour before fall truly sets in. The song is a melancholy reflection on the changing seasons and a fading romance. It has both a sting and warmth, drawing you toward some space of reflection that feels cinematic.

The production of “Summer Is Gone” sounds bright like a half-forgotten memory you can almost reach out and touch, but can never fully revive. Anjalts, a solid producer and storyteller, delivers quiet emotion, and the performance allows you to attach your own memories while maintaining its specific roots.

The song, the production, and the mood all connect so well that it feels like the seasons are changing. But beneath that ease is a deeper emotional current, a quiet awareness that something beautiful has stopped. As a prolific songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist, Anjalts continues to prove versatility with diverse styles and artistic vision. “Summer Is Gone” also touches on growth, reflection, and memories that follow us. It waits to remind us, touch us, that there is still ugliness or beauty to remember in the ending.

Luke Panayiotou crafts intimacy and discovers love and purpose on “Am I In Love Again?” EP

Luke Panayiotou

“Am I In Love Again?” by Luke Panayiotou arrives as a quiet confession after years of silence, an intimate, self-made EP that’s his first release after a five-year hiatus, and it sounds so honest. This 3-song, 12-minute project is a reintroduction, and everything was written, performed, and arranged by the artist.

And since the EP combines acoustic, folk, rock, and ambient singer-songwriter sounds, it has a natural, personal feel. The recording was done at Oscillate Recording Studios in Knutsford/ Manchester with a warmth that allows Panayiotou’s vocals to shine through. The most emotional song on the EP is the title track, “Am I in Love Again.” It quietly examines falling back in love, the short bursts of overwhelming emotion that help you remember why you fell for someone in the first place.

“Back Around” tells a more contemplative story of perseverance. It’s about setbacks and the quiet resolve to continue, even when it feels like you’re on the verge of success. “Wherever I Go” is a triumphant end to the EP. Its upbeat, unifying energy celebrates connection, romantic, platonic, or otherwise. It accomplishes this by casting loyalty and presence in a more favorable light.

Panayiotou defines every aspect of “Am I In Love Again?,” from the songs to the cover art. This lends the work a cohesive artistic vision that feels both personal and enveloping. This EP shows that sometimes you need to take a step back to step forward with clarity and purpose.
