Oh, hello!
New intro, new writer for a bit of this week’s edition - I’m Henri. Based in Austin, TX. Chief of Staff here at DoStuff, and also one of the creators of one of our newest projects, CinemAdventures.
I’m dropping in this week to let y’all know about that series in general, and also because we recently took over some of Do206 for a full-on TWIN PEAKS adventure just outside of Seattle (more on that below).
But yeah, CinemAdventures is our traveling series of pop-up cinematic screenings produced in partnership with MUBI, all featuring real-world experiences built around the movies and shows people love way too much, in the best possible way. Because we’ve been celebrating live music for years here at DoStuff, but there are other awesome things to do when you get out of the house, and sometimes that can be movies, too!
We’ll have more CinemAdventures fun to talk about soon, but for now, let’s get you your music news, more tour announcements, summer plans, and more great reasons to open the calendar and start plotting things out.
THIS WEEK IN MUSIC NEWS & TOURS 🎤
Justin Bieber’s famous “Peaches” ride is getting a second act for a good cause. The 1968 Cadillac Coupe DeVille from the music video is headed to auction, with proceeds reportedly going to a breast cancer foundation — because nothing says pop memorabilia like a charity Caddy with cinematic mileage.
Sara Bareilles is finally returning with new music after nearly seven years, with her new single “Home” arriving today. Her new track is deeply personal, and the Bareilles faithful are already preparing to feel things in four-part harmony.
Taylor Swift is officially entering the Pixar emotional-damage universe with “I Knew It, I Knew You,” an original song for Toy Story 5 dropping June 5. A Taylor song attached to Jessie the cowgirl? Somewhere, every friendship bracelet just sprouted a tiny cowboy hat.
Olivia Rodrigo took on CMAT’s “When a Good Man Cries” for BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge, and CMAT’s reaction was basically the internet’s reaction: delighted, overwhelmed, and maybe a little emotionally flattened. Olivia continues to treat covers like tiny theater productions, and this one landed right in the sweet spot between reverent and Rodrigo-fied.
Dua Lipa and Callum Turner made it official, sharing photos from their intimate London wedding. Naturally, Dua did not simply “wear a bridal look” — she delivered a Schiaparelli moment with enough old-Hollywood polish to make city hall feel like couture week.
iHeartRadio Music Festival announced its 2026 lineup, and it is very much swinging for the Vegas rafters. BTS, Cardi B, Benson Boone, Lainey Wilson, Snoop Dogg, Muse, Weezer, Zara Larsson, and more are set for the two-night T-Mobile Arena takeover in September.
Belle and Sebastian have made Scotland a World Cup anthem called “It Only Takes One Lion,” which is exactly the kind of twee-meets-terrace energy this timeline needed. Indie-pop sincerity plus national football nerves? That’s basically a cardigan with face paint.
Pitchfork Paris revealed the first wave of artists for its 2026 edition, with Iceage, Bassvictim, Charlotte Adigéry & Bolis Pupul, Headache, Ear, and Amore among the names announced. The festival returns November 2–8, giving everyone plenty of time to practice saying “I’m just popping over to Paris for the experimental lineup” casually.
Ariana Grande dropped the short for “Hate That I Made You Love Me,” while Charli XCX announced Music, Fashion, Film for July 24 — two very different flavors of pop-girl theater. And for anyone trying to keep up with the release avalanche, Billboard’s 2026 album calendar is doing the lord’s work.

MEMBER’S ONLY 🔥
and
teamed up with Do206 a couple of weeks ago to take TWIN PEAKS fans on a very normal, not-at-all-mysterious day trip out of Seattle and into the trees.
Okay, fine. It was a bit mysterious.
The CinemAdventure started at Central Cinema, where fans gathered before boarding buses loaded up with scenes and music from the series. From there, we headed straight into Twin Peaks territory, stopping at Ronette’s Bridge, the original location of the Twin Peaks sign, the Double R Diner (aka Twede’s Cafe) for some damn fine coffee and cherry pie, and Snoqualmie Falls / the Great Northern Hotel for a reception, photo shoot, and the general feeling that maybe the owls were watching the whole thing.
It was an all-day celebration of one of TV’s strangest, most devoted fandoms, and exactly the kind of thing we built CinemAdventures for: taking the movies and shows people love and turning them into real-world experiences worth leaving the house for.
We posted the full recap and photos from the trip, so if you want to see how deep into the woods things got, head over to Do206.com/twinpeaks and take a look.
And if this has you feeling like it’s time to revisit Twin Peaks before the next strange and wonderful CinemAdventure, MUBI has you covered. Start a free trial, pour yourself a cup of coffee, grab a slice of cherry pie, and meet us somewhere between the screen and the unknown: https://mubi.com/adventures2026

THIS WEEK IN RANDOM, BUT AWESOME, EVENTS ✨
When I moved to Nashville, Hot Springs, Arkansas was one of the stops we made along the way on my drive over. I remember it being such a cool little surprise of a town — beautiful, historic, walkable, and way more charming than I expected from a quick road trip stop.
So naturally, I now have the perfect excuse to go back: the World Championship Running of the Tubs.
Yes, bathtub racing is apparently a real thing, and Hot Springs has fully committed to the bit.
Teams decorate bathtubs, put them on wheels, fill them with water, and race them down Historic Bathhouse Row while one brave person sits inside and steers. There are costumes, bath accessories, judges in robes, and the very important rule that your tub still has to have water in it when you cross the finish line. Which feels fair. If you’re going to race a bathtub, at least respect the bathtub.
Honestly, this is exactly the kind of deeply specific local event I love. It’s weird, historic, and proudly unserious.Hot Springs, I may need a revisit.
WIN SOMETHING! 🎁
The giveaway gods are in a generous mood this week. Here are some of the best giveaways across our network right now:
Do214 (Dallas), you can enter to win tickets to Sick New World, aka the kind of lineup that makes your inner alt kid and your current concert-budget self hold hands.
DoSD (San Diego) has a shot at the Summer Concert Series, which is basically a summer plans cheat code. Live music, warm weather, and an excuse to be outside? We’re listening.
DoPDX (Portland) is giving away tickets to An Evening with CAKE, perfect for anyone whose ideal night out includes deadpan lyrics, trumpet solos, and deeply specific alt-rock nostalgia.
Do312 (Chicago), you can enter for Lollapalooza 2026 tickets, because sometimes the correct summer move is classical music under the skyline like you’re the main character in a very cultured city montage.
And Do615 (Nashville) is going big with the Do615 Summer Sweepstakes, packed with prizes built to make your summer look a little more exciting than your group chat expected.
One last thing before you go: this is the final chance to snag our DoMORE birthday deal. New members can lock in $50/year tickets instead of $84, and current members can share their DoMORE referral link to get in the running for $5,000.
Tiny little reminder, potentially very big payoff.
That’s it for this week.May your week feel a little more cinematic! Jess ✨
