Watch Swedish House Mafia Perform New Music Medley on Jimmy Fallon’s “The Tonight Show”
Stepping out of the murky shadows of an ambiguous nine-year hiatus, Swedish House Mafia made their first television appearance in over a decade last night. The legendary electronic music trio appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where they performed a medley of their two new songs, “Lifetime” and “It Gets Better.” They kicked off with the former, as Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso, and Steve Angello performed from their own DJ booths while illuminated in orange spheres—designed to mirror their distinct logo—alongside Ty Dolla $ign and 070 Shake. The performance of “It Gets Better” kicked it up a notch, offering a kaleidoscopic, eerie LED show that seems like a foreshadowing of the group’s live show production. &nb...

Dave Grohl to Co-Host Tonight Show on Monday
It’s already been long established that Dave Grohl can do it all. Well, not all, but he can do a lot. The latest stint? Co-hosting the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. When you think about it, it makes sense. Grohl will be alongside Fallon on Monday night’s episode where he’ll deliver the monologue, riff, play games and interview the other guest, comedian Jim Jefferies. However, Grohl won’t be the musical guest, which will be Blake Shelton. This is the latest in what’s been a busy 2021. Foo Fighters released Medicine at Midnight in February, they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last week in their first year of eligibility, he has a new show on Paramount+ with his mother Virginia and oh, Grohl released his long-awaited documentary on vans last month...

<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-05-11T14:36:10+00:00“>May 11, 2021 | 10:36am ET Weezer were the musical guest on Monday night’s episode of Jimmy Fallon, in promotion of their new album, Van Weezer. During their appearance, the rock veterans performed “All the Good Ones”. The track is a melodic ballad that wouldn’t be too out of place with Rivers Cuomo and company’s previous catalog, except for the heavier ’80s hard rock-inspired guitar riffs. “Rock and roll sounds better in the car,” he sang passionately on Fallon. “I just love the way she plays guitar/ When she dives down on the whammy bar/ She’ll be stuck on repeat, repeat in my head.” Van Weezer was released last week and was previewed by singles like...

The track, which appeared on her 2020 Spanish-language album Sin Miedo (del Amor y Otros Demonios), took on a viral life of its own on TikTok and has since become the R&B singer’s most iconic song. She released a video for it last month that showed off her hometown of Pereira, Colombia, and she gave it the full dramatic treatment for her Tonight Show appearance. She began the performance while reclining on a granite staircase, encircled by white rotating spheres and cast in the glow of the moonlight. It’s a dream...

Japanese Breakfast Performs “Be Sweet” on Fallon: Watch
Michelle Zauner, aka Japanese Breakfast, served as the musical guest on Monday night’s episode of Jimmy Fallon, where she performed her latest single, “Be Sweet”. Additionally, in a nod to her debut appearance on The Tonight Show, Zauner dusted off “Jimmy Fallon Big!”, from 2017’s Soft Sounds from Another Planet, as a web exclusive. Zauner and her band filmed their mini-set at Brooklyn’s National Sawdust. With the exception of a female patron at the bar and an extraterrestrial bartender, the venue was completely empty. As such, the only way to view both performances is by clicking the play button on the videos embedded below. “Be Sweet” is the lead single from Zauner’s upcoming album, Jubilee, out June 4th via Dead Oceans.

Lil Durk Performs “Stay Down” and “Still Trappin’” on Fallon: Watch
Lil Durk was the musical guest on Friday night’s episode of Jimmy Fallon, performing a medley of his hits “Stay Down” and “Still Trappin’”. Both songs appear on his latest album, December’s The Voice. Atlanta singer 6LACK joined the Chicago rapper for “Stay Down”. After first coming to prominence as part of Chicago’s drill scene in the 2010s, Durk has experienced a career resurgence over the past two years. Since 2019, the 28-year-old rapper-singer has landed three Top 5 albums on the Billboard 200.

Durk has also earned multiple songs on the Billboard Hot 100, including “Stay Down” and “Still Trappin’”. The latter song is a posthumous collaboration with the...
The Network Perform “Threat Level Midnight” on Fallon: Watch
Last month, Green Day revived their secret new wave side-project The Network for the release of a brand new album. Entitled Money Money 2020 Part II: Told Ya So!, it marked their first new album under the moniker in some 17 years. On Friday night, the group supported its release with a late-night TV appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Part of The Network’s bit is that they refuse to acknowledge themselves as Green Day, and any insinuation that they are is met with am explicit rebuttal from both the band and their fans. (This post, for example, will no doubt generate a litany of comments from Green Day fans informing us that The Network is not Green Day). To add their mythology, The Network’s members use aliases — Fink, Van Gough, The Snoo, and Bal...
Foo Fighters Perform “Waiting on a War” on Fallon: Watch
Foo Fighters were guests on Monday night’s edition Jimmy Fallon, promoting their new album, Medicine at Midnight. After frontman Dave Grohl chatted it up with the Tonight Show host, the band performed their single “Waiting on a War”. The track is a stirring piece of a hopeful anxiety, with low synths and bass underscoring a tension that waits until the very end to break. As such, this wasn’t a face-melting rock show of a late night performance, with Foo Fighters instead delivering a relatively simple run-through of the song in a purple-lit set. That said, it’s a powerful enough song to still grab you even in such a straightforward set up — especially once Taylor Hawkins and the band got to rip into it during the outro. Prior to taking the remote stage with the rest of the Fighters, Gr...
Here’s Why Jimmy Fallon Doesn’t Want to Sing Backup on Justin Timberlake’s Next Record
Jimmy looks off-camera, shocked, before saying (obviously), “Yeah!” “OK, done,” Timberlake said. “What? Did this just happen? We can’t edit this out! We have to leave this in the show!” Fallon says. “But I’m going to treat you the same way that I did right before we did the first Bee Gees sketch we ever did,” Timberlake says of their beloved “Barry Gibb Talk Show” skit on Saturday Night Live. Watch the clip below to see exactly what that means, and you can watch the full interview on NBC at 11:35 p.m. ET on The Tonight Show, where Ozuna and Anuel AA are the night’s musical guests.

The Roots and Jimmy Fallon Perform Olivia Rodrigo‘s ‘Driver’s License’ as a Sea Shanty
Singing like a 19th-century pirate is one of the latest and oddest TikTok trends, and Jimmy Fallon and The Roots jumped on board (arggg) with their version of Olivia Rodrigo‘s viral hit “Driver’s License” in the style of a sea shanty. For the unfamiliar, a sea shanty is a traditional folk song once commonly sung as a work song to accompany rhythmical labor on board merchant sailing vessels. But you knew that. The Tonight Show host and his house band were in serious harmony on the song, which, in Rodrigo’s original form, has logged over 200 million listens on Spotify since it premiered on Jan. 8. Rodrigo recently spoke to SPIN about her “insane” success. The current shanty trend is credited to Nathan Evans, a 26-year-old postal worker and aspiring musician from Scotland. On Dec.&...
