Grönan Live 2024

Omar rudberg.

The solo debut came in 2018 and two years later the debut album "OMR", which has been streamed over 20 million times so far. During the autumn of 2023, Omar showed his versatility in "Så Mycket Bättre", where his interpretations of songs from artists such as Mapei and Staffan Hellstrand were praised by both audiences and critics. In addition to his performing career, Omar has also made his mark in TV and film. In 2021, he got one of the leading roles in the Netflix drama "Young Royals", which became an international success and placed him in the spotlight both within and beyond the borders of Scandinavia. In 2023, Omar was named "Sweden's best dressed man" by both ELLE and Café, at the same time he made his debut in "Summer in P1". On June 1 at 20.00 Omar Rudberg steps out for the first time as a solo artist on Gröna Lund's Stora Scen.

Event Information

STRICT 4 TICKET LIMIT. ANY ORDERS EXCEEDING THE ALLOWED AMOUNT ARE SUBJECT TO CANCELLATION WITHOUT NOTICE.

Artist Information

Omar Rudberg activates an ambitious vision without boundaries or apologies via his music. Emanating jaw-dropping vocal talent, palpable charisma, and superstar je ne sais quoi, the Stockholm-based and Venezuelan-born artist, actor, dancer, and international force of nature doesn’t just want to put on a show; he is the show. Attitude, confidence, sexuality, and spirit surge through his artistry at full blast, tailoring his Latin-infused, arena-ready pop for crowd singalongs in the process.

Following over 140 million career streams, a star turn in NETFLIX’s Young Royals , and acclaim from V Magazine , Teen Vogue , and many more, Omar welcomes everyone to the show on a series of 2024 singles for Elektra and more to come.

“My goal is just to be the artist I’ve always been inside,” he exclaims. “I want to show the world who I am and what I feel. By beginning this chapter in the U.S., I can do it in a much bigger way. I’m going to bring a mega-show that’s a mix of everything—the Latin, pop, and R&B influences, the dancing, and the music. The time is now.”

Omar spent the first years of his life in Venezuela surrounded by music. At three-years-old, he would regularly perform for the family at his grandmother’s request. He eventually relocated to Gothenburg, Sweden with his mom and her new husband. As a kid, he obsessed over YouTube videos of Michael Jackson and Justin Bieber in addition to discovering the Eurovision Song Contest. Devoting all of his time to singing and dancing, he emerged victorious at one local talent competition after another and even shined on the fourth season of the Swedish version of Got Talent . Videos of Omar led to more discovery, and he joined the global boy band FO&O. Beyond platinum and gold singles, the group toured three continents and supported everyone from One Direction to Justin Bieber.

“The band times were like my ‘ artist high school ,’” he laughs. “I had to learn a lot and grow up earlier than expected. It was a blast though.”

In the group’s wake, he kickstarted his solo career with a series of fan favorite singles. During 2021, his star rose worldwide as he joined the cast of NETFLIX’s Young Royals in the role of Simon. As the series transformed into a phenomenon, he served up his 2022 album OMR . Among many highlights, the single “Mi Casa Su Casa” amassed north of 15.6 million Spotify streams and counting. Praising his multi-hyphenate success, V Man hailed, “Not unlike his character, Rudberg himself is a musician and unapologetically himself, getting more so by the day . ”

In 2024, he’s unabashedly giving the world Omar and ignited a new chapter with the single “Red Light.” On the track, loose guitar wraps around a steady beat as his vulnerable vocals take hold. Longing echoes through Omar’s delivery, and he exhales, “You were everything I wanted . ” It culminates on a climactic chorus uplifted by a guitar lead, piano, and strings.

“It’s a bittersweet song,” he notes. “It’s happy and about love, but it’s also sad and in-between. It’s very emotional to me, but I feel like this song marks a new era. It's very different from everything else I’ve released. It's like the introduction to what is coming.”

Omar knows the best is yet to come as he makes a closer connection than ever.

“When people hear my music, I want them to feel like they can be themselves,” he leaves off. “When I was a kid, I didn't have someone to look up to and relate to. Now that I can do this and make music that truly means something to me, I hope people can relate to it and feel seen. Live your life and be unapologetically yourself.”

5 Highlights from Night One of Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts World Tour at Kia Forum

The megastar brought serious rock energy to the first of six L.A. shows, which served as a powerful showcase for her unique place in the pantheon of modern pop.

Olivia Rodrigo

Nearly six months into her whirlwind Guts World Tour, Olivia Rodrigo finally landed in her hometown of Los Angeles on Tuesday night (Aug. 13) to perform the first of four dates at the Kia Forum, which she’ll follow with two shows at the soon-to-open Intuit Dome on Aug. 20 and 21.

Olivia Rodrigo Admits Some of Her Past Relationships Were ‘A Little Questionable’

“Oh boy, I’ve been looking forward to this show for a really, really long time,” said Rodrigo as she took the stage, eliciting a cacophony of screams from the sold-out crowd. “Hometown show, baby. It’s very, very special.”

Rodrigo’s first L.A. concert marked the beginning of the end of the North American leg for her current tour. After a nearly month-long break, the megastar will head to Asia in mid-September for a series of dates in Thailand, Korea, Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore before wrapping the globe-spanning trek in Australia with four shows each in Melbourne and Sydney.

Having already performed the show dozens of times over, Rodrigo and her touring operation are by this point a well-oiled machine, and it showed on Tuesday night. The first Forum concert featured slick, at times “Brutal”-ly effective songs from Rodrigo’s two blockbuster albums, with the star backed by a powerhouse band and eight dancers whose thematic routines dramatized the singer-songwriter’s potent lyrics (one particularly memorable bit of choreography during Rodrigo’s performance of Guts track “Pretty Isn’t Pretty” revolved around hand mirrors).

Throughout, Rodrigo demonstrated a knack for connecting with every section of the audience at the 17,500-capacity venue. This was most notable during a stretch that saw her perform “Logical” and “Enough for You” from a floating crescent moon that revolved slowly around the arena, creating a sense of intimacy with every segment of the fawning crowd.

Below, you can check out five highlights from the sold-out show and a full setlist.

A Little Bit Disney, a Lot Rock-N-Roll

As edgy as some of her music sounds, a strain of the Disney star Rodrigo once was remains. Given her outsized pop stardom, it’s easy to forget that up until 2019, the 21-year-old was best known for her starring role on the squeaky-clean High School Musical: The Musical: The Series , and she retains some of the polished charm she no doubt learned while making her way through the gauntlet of Mouse House stardom.

In a way, Tuesday night’s show illuminated this intriguing dichotomy. Rodrigo is a master at playing to the camera with the sort of larger-than-life facial expressions that seem in part designed to appeal to her youngest fans — even as she liberally (and gleefully) sprinkles her speech with f-bombs. This career arc is represented in the arc of the show itself: While the first half boasts its share of hard-charging tracks like “Bad Idea Right?” and “Vampire,” in the final stretch it becomes a much more rock-forward show, complete with bone-rattling guitar riffs and a steroidal rhythm section. Her performance of late-set tracks like “Brutal” and “All-American Bitch” build up a full head of steam, making a potent case for Rodrigo as a one-of-a-kind pop star who is capable of catering equally well to the High School Musical set and the ‘90s rock-loving parents who once blasted Nirvana , Hole and Pearl Jam through their open car windows.

A Mass Sing-Along

From “Drivers License” to “Vampire,” the capacity crowd at Tuesday night’s show belted the lyrics to Rodrigo’s songs right along with her, reflecting the deep chord the talented songwriter has struck with her (mostly) young fans. More than any other concert in recent memory, the mass sing-along created a unifying energy that belied the size of the venue, serving as a testament to the way Rodrigo’s lyrics can feel both deeply personal and universal all at once.

Paying Tribute to Her Hometown (and In-N-Out)

Rodrigo grew up in the Southern California community of Temecula, located southeast of Los Angeles, before moving to L.A. in middle school after landing a starring role on the Disney Channel sitcom Bizaardvark . That made her first L.A. show something of a homecoming for the globe-trotting star, and she didn’t let that fact — and her fondness for a certain fast-food burger chain — go unmentioned.

“Boy, am I f—ing happy to be in L.A., oh my god!” Rodrigo remarked from the stage before launching into a rendition of her Guts (Spilled) standout “So American.” “You guys, we’ve been on tour for so long, and I got to sleep in my own bed last night, it was amazing. We’ve been all over the place,” she explained. “We got to, like, drink wine in France and eat pasta in Italy, but you know what? It’s so good to be home and have a f—ing In-N-Out burger, for real. That was my first stop after getting home. I literally flew to LAX and then drove to pick up In-N-Out burger.”

Shining a Light on The Breeders

Rodrigo’s opening act on Tuesday night was The Breeders , the ‘90s alt-rock icons who stormed the Billboard Hot 100 with their 1993 single “Cannonball” (the song ultimately peaked at No. 44). That hit served as a centerpiece of the band’s fabulous performance, during which they also busted out a set-closing rendition of “Gigantic” — a highlight of Surfer Rosa , the debut full-length of Breeders frontwoman Kim Deal’s former band the Pixies , co-written with her then-bandmate Black Francis.

Choosing The Breeders as an opening act may seem like an outside-the-box choice for a 21-year-old pop star, but for Rodrigo it makes sense. Though she wasn’t even born when the band reached its career zenith, Rodrigo grew up listening to the ‘90s alt-rock her parents played at home and was heavily influenced by the bands of the era in creating her own music. On Sour and especially Guts , that influence comes through loud and clear, so it’s heartening to see Rodrigo introduce one of the Gen X bands who helped inspire her sound to a brand-new audience.

And The Breeders made the most of the opportunity: The band, which is opening all four Forum shows and previously opened for Rodrigo at Madison Square Garden, played a tight 40-minute set that will doubtless win them a new set of young fans.

A Salute to the Power of the Instagram DM

Just before launching into a performance of Sour track “Happier” while sitting cross-legged on the floor with her guitarist Daisy Spencer, Rodrigo called herself “a wizard at the art of Instagram DM.” That led in to an explanation of how a fateful DM brought her and Sour / Guts producer Dan Nigro together.

“I’ve met so many people that I’ve dated on Instagram DM, some of them a little questionable so maybe that’s not a good example,” Rodrigo began, before explaining how, after catching wind of a “Happier” clip she’d posted online, Nigro reached out to ask if she’d like to work with him. “That was the catalyst for two albums and kind of this show and tonight right here,” she said. “So I have Instagram DM to thank for a whole lot in my life.”

Full Setlist

“Bad Idea Right?” “Ballad of a Homeschooled Girl” “Vampire” “Traitor” “Drivers License” “Teenage Dream” “Pretty Isn’t Pretty” “Love Is Embarrassing” “Making the Bed” “Logical” “Enough for You” “Lacy” “So American” “Jealousy, Jealousy” “Happier” “Favorite Crime” “Deja Vu” “The Grudge” “Brutal” “Obsessed” “All-American Bitch” Encore: “Good 4 U” “Get Him Back!”

Young Hollywood Impact Report: Benson Boone, Laufey, Hunter Schafer, Ayra Starr and More Stars From Showbiz’s Next Wave

Variety Young Hollywood List Xavi, Hunter Schafer, Maleah Joi Moon

The talent highlighted in  Variety ’s Young Hollywood Impact Report all made a splash in the last year in the worlds of film, television, music, theater and digital, and will be celebrated at an event Aug. 8. After last year’s strikes, the next gen stars are happy to be back on the set. Freya Allan says the best part of working on “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” is “getting to work with such a grounded, lovely bunch of actors. Despite being such a big budget movie, it really felt so intimate and there wasn’t any feeling of hierarchy we were all just doing what we love.”

Busy as they are, there’s always room for binging. “I’m a bit shite when it comes to catching new movies, but I am getting better at it! Loving ‘The Bear’ right now, and I massively enjoyed ‘Baby Reindeer’ earlier this year,” says Up Next actor Solly McLeod. “I’ve been recommended ‘Severance’ on Apple TV by so many people, so that’s next on my list.”

“When I sit back and look at what’s happening, it really, truly blows my mind,” says musician Benson Boone about his success — and although the people on this list worked hard to get there, they know the journey is just beginning.

Freya Allan

The English actor, 22, starred in the hit “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” ($397 million worldwide) and will soon appear in the next season of Netflix’s “The Witcher,” reprising her role as foundational character Princess Cirilla. What can we expect from Season 4? “She’s experiencing a very complicated romantic relationship for the first time and really falls into a very dark and brutal side of herself but also a very free one in some ways,” Allan says, calling it liberating “to be able to do something different than before and surprising, hopefully.” 

Iain Armitage

Armitage wrapped his seventh and final season as the title character in “Young Sheldon” — which continued to earn strong ratings for CBS – and won a trophy at “The Kids’ Choice Awards” in July. He celebrated his 16th birthday by taking his grandmother in a small plane as part of his pilot training, while plotting the next stage of his career. “I feel like I’m in a good position to branch out and do different and weird stuff, which is really what I want to do,” he says.

“Avatar: The Last Airbender”

The cast’s dedication to their roles has led to the live-action adaptation’s popularity. Cormier, now 14 and 11 when he auditioned, says he “wasn’t fully aware of the responsibilities [he] was about to take on” when the part first came along. Yu, 21, who appreciated the story more as an adult during an audition-process re-watch, calls it “an amazing depiction of all the different forms of family, grief, friendship, ambition.” Kiawentiio, 18, says tunnel vision worked in her favor when it came to auditioning. Ousley, 22, notes that he wasn’t sure which role he was up for: “I feel like that gave me the creative freedom I needed to bring myself to the character without any preconceived pressure.” Liu, 22, says he “understood so much about it before even having read a script” since he had been a fan of the property as a child.

Finn Bennett

Fourteen years after his first screen role, Bennett, 25, grabbed the spotlight through his performance as Peter Prior in HBO’s “True Detective: Night Country.” The British-Irish actor is currently shooting his role as the cruel prince Aerion in HBO’s “Game of Thrones” prequel series “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.” “I try to kind of keep in mind that it can disappear as quickly as it happened, so I’m intent on enjoying where I am at the minute,” he says.

Vic Blends Received 2024. Courtesy photo

Blends, 24, has built massive followings on TikTok (15 million), Instagram (3.6 million) and Facebook (2 million) with inspirational videos in which he has deep conversations with people while giving them free haircuts. He’s further expanded his entrepreneurial footprint with the online VicBlends Barber Academy and the clothing line and lifestyle company Planted. “I have a small tattoo that says ‘planted’ on my right side of my face,” explains the North Carolina native. “That just means everything that I do is to stay grounded.”

Benson Boone

With 1.43 billion on-demand audio streams worldwide, Boone’s “Beautiful Things” has become the most streamed song of 2024, earning the 22 year-old a spot in Spotify’s “Billions” club. “When I sit back and look at what’s happening, it really, truly blows my mind,” the singer-songwriter told Variety. In addition to a completely sold-out world tour for his debut full-length LP, “Fireworks & Rollerblades” (Night Street/Warner), Boone was selected to open for Taylor Swift’s Era’s Tour in London.

Maya Boyd Received 2024. Courtesy of Korrin Dering

Boyd, 21, was the ultimate multi-tasker when she completed her senior year at the University of Michigan while making her Broadway debut in the Tony-winning production of “Merrily We Roll Along.” Balancing performances in New York and classes over Zoom, she finished her degree while learning on the job. The show “was my job but also a class. I was such a student. My castmates were also my professors.” Now, she’s taking over the titular role in “& Juliet.”

Emma Chamberlain

Emma Chamberlain Received 2024. Courtesy of Jasper Soloff

Since parlaying YouTube fame into entrepreneurial success with the December 2019 launch of her Chamberlain Coffee brand, the 23-year-old has continued to increase her realm of influence with the popular podcast “Anything Goes,” voice acting roles and regular appearances as a presenter at the Met Gala. “I really loved my look this year,” says Chamberlain. “It truly felt like my stylist, Jean Paul Gaultier, and I had a baby, and that baby was our dress.”

NLE CHOPPA Received 2024. Courtesy of Gunnar Stahl

At 21, NLE Choppa’s achievements include over 8.3 billion streams and 17 RIAA-certified plaques, with his second album, “Cottonwood 2” (No Love Entertainment/Warner) peaking at No. 9 on the R&B/Hip-Hop albums chart in 2023. The Memphis native has also played an active role in supporting his hometown, launching the NLE Reading Challenge, which incentivized at-risk elementary students to read 40 million words, and leading the “Skate for Tyre” peaceful protest following the death of Tyre Nichols.

Alex Consani

Transgender model and TikTok star Consani, 20, has walked the runway for almost every major designer, including Versace and Alexander McQueen, and stared in ad campaigns for Marc Jacobs and Margiela Fragrance. But she really catapulted into pop culture on TikTok, where her millions of followers send her clips viral. The busy Consani has been binging “The Act” in her downtime.

The Brit Award-winning Douglas, 22, Quaresma, 22, and Downer, 21, have just released single “Check” and are working on their debut LP. The singers have steeped themselves in on-the-road experience, including their first U.S. festival performance at April’s Coachella. “Growing up, Coachella was the ‘it’ festival. To have been a part of it so early in our careers is definitely a highlight,” they tell Variety . It was also good prep for the tour they’re about to embark upon in support of Kehlani.

Gerber, 22, went from modeling — following in the footsteps of her supermodel mother Cindy Crawford — into acting roles in edgy feature comedy “Bottoms” and Apple TV+’s “Palm Royale.” Among her upcoming projects: Jason Reitman’s buzzy “Saturday Night.” Beyond the screen, her book club, Library Science, is thriving. Gerber is currently “binging correspondences between writers, like the poems between Jack Gilbert and Linda Greg and the letters between Henry Miller and Anaïs Nin,” she says, while also “rewatching ‘Girls’ for the millionth time.”

Millie Gibson

Gibson, 20, spent the last year traveling around the universe as Doctor Who’s companion Ruby Sunday on the latest iteration on the much-beloved BBC series, starring Rwandan-Scottish actor Ncuti Gatwa, who made history as the first Black, queer Doctor. “I wanted to bring a youth and vitality to the show; Ruby Sunday is the youngest companion we’ve had. She’s a lost child, a foundling, but with an infectious joy and aura that captures the Doctor’s attention as they journey along in their quests,” Gibson says, crediting showrunner Russell T. Davis with trusting her “completely with shaping her spirit and warmth that the audience can fall in love with.”

From being chased by dinosaurs alongside Adam Driver in “65” to using the Force as a young Ahsoka Tano in “Ahsoka” to starring in blockbuster “Barbie” (which earned her a Critics’ Choice Award nom for best young actor), Greenblatt’s past year has been nothing but impressive. The 16-year-old says her “destroy Barbie” scene with Margot Robbie is one she’s most proud of, as “that was my audition scene and the first scene I learned for Sasha, so the day that we filmed, it was a full-circle moment.” Greenblatt will next be seen in “Borderlands.”

Kahlil Greene

Dubbed the Gen Z Historian, Greene, 24, was Yale’s first Black student body president and has built a career as an “edutainer” (educational entertainer), reaching millions on TikTok, Instagram and LinkedIn. His series “Hidden History of Racism in New York City” won a 2023 Peabody Award, and he is developing a documentary with Mark McKinnon (“The Circus”) about Gen Z politics; inked a deal with National Geographic for a YouTube doc series; and is writing a book for Penguin Random House. “I think history allows you to be so much more effective in finding solutions to issues when you have a strong vocabulary of events in the past that you can analyze and look toward.”

The British series “Heartstopper” became an instant success for Netflix, with the two actors playing the fan favorite main couple in the comic book adaptation. Season 3 debuts in October. In the meantime, Connor, 20, will star as Romeo on Broadway in “Romeo & Juliet” with Rachel Zegler. Other upcoming projects include A24’s “Warfare” and DreamWorks animation’s “The Wild Robot,” alongside Lupita Nyong’o. He eagerly awaits his return to theater, as he finds it “very creatively fulfilling,” noting “it’s one of the best things an actor can do to improve their craft.” Locke, 20, took to Broadway himself earlier this year as Tobias Ragg in the revival of “Sweeney Todd.” He notes that “live theater is acting in its purest form, there’s no camera, or doing 25 takes.” He also stars in the anticipated Disney+ series “Agatha All Along.”

Wisdom Kaye

The 23-year-old TikTok and YouTube superstar made his Met Gala debut this year and slayed — delighting his 11 million followers. The Nigerian-born and Houston-raised Kaye started posting in 2020 and immediately drew the notice of IMG Models and such publications as Vogue. Praised for his cinematic eye and storytelling ability, he has won the Streamy award in the fashion and style category for four consecutive years (2020-2023).

King, 24, has successfully navigated the transition from child to adult actor with a dizzyingly diverse array of projects ranging from the fact-based Holocaust miniseries “We Were the Lucky Ones” to the rom-com “A Family Affair” and the upcoming sci-fi actioner “Uglies,” which she also exec produced. “The funniest movies can often be some of the hardest shoots, and the ones with really tough subject matter often have a lot of joy tied to them,” she says.

Laufey Received 2024. Courtesy of Gemma Warren

Born in Reykjavik to an Icelandic father and Chinese classical violinist mother, Laufey (pronounced LAY-vay) kicked off 2024 with a Grammy win for “Bewitched” (AWAL), her sophomore effort that fused jazz, classical and contemporary pop genres. “One thing I’ve thought about in the last few months is how much I’ve become the musician that I needed when I was younger,” says the Berklee College of Music grad, whose August show at the Hollywood Bowl is sold out.

The now-15-year-old “Anatomy of a Fall” actor was the heart and soul of the Oscar-winning film, stealing scenes — along with canine thesp Messi — from powerhouse adult actors, and earning accolades from international critics’ groups. Earlier this year, he wrapped Arnaud Desplechin’s “Spectateurs!,” starring alongside French heavyweights Mathieu Amalric and Françoise Lebrun. Did he learn from his co-stars? “Of course I did ! … We had to look for different emotions. I had a lot of text to learn; it was tiring, but it taught me so much,” says Machado-Graner. “Actually, it had a lot to do with [director] Justine Triet’s method: She takes her time, we do many and many takes. She wants her actors to explore their possibilities, and I noticed that the more tired they are, the closer they come to the truth.”

Lizzy McAlpine

After her 2023 breakthrough “Ceilings” went viral on TikTok, McAlpine, 24, retreated to Pasadena to hone the stripped-back sound that permeates “Older” (RCA), her third album, which was released in April. “I realized that I just want to focus on the art,” the singer-songwriter told Variety. It’s a realization that has since yielded a run of sold-out North American shows, including two nights at L.A.’s Greek Theater and two nights at Radio City Music Hall.

Moon, 21, embodies Ali in the semi-autobiographical Alicia Keys musical “Hell’s Kitchen” on Broadway. She joined the project during its premiere Off Broadway at the Public Theater and followed its transfer, where she was awarded a Tony for best actress in a musical. After graduating high school in 2020, Moon became one of the youngest recipients of this honor.

Since its July 2022 debut, NewJeans — the K-pop group comprised of members Minji (20), Hanni (19), Danielle (19), Haerin (18) and Hyein (16) — has charted on the Billboard Global 200 for 37 consecutive weeks (the longest of any K-pop female act), achieved more than 4.3 billion streams and secured brand partnerships with Coca-Cola, Apple and (fittingly) Levi’s. In other words, they’re total K-pop darlings who, with the release of new tracks “Bubble Gum” and “How Sweet’’ this past May, are positioning themselves for a massive 2025 world tour.

“Percy Jackson and the Olympians” When “Percy Jackson” dropped in December, it became the No. 1 TV premiere of Disney-branded programming of all time. Rick Riordan’s book series of the same name was published before any of the young cast were born, but they all grew up fans. Scobell, 15, remembers reading the books in third grade and calls them his “favorite book series ever.” Sava Jeffries, 14, who once wrote an essay about the books for school, was thrilled to audition for it. Simhadri, 18, also loved the books and when it came to casting, he notes that “there’s a lot of pressure when you’re adapting something so beloved to so many people, including yourself, but I think a lot of that pressure [is self-inflicted] because we all want to make something we’re proud of.” Season 2 has been confirmed.

“Power Book III: Raising Kanan”

Producers aren’t fond of telling Curtis, 23, and Kilgore, 25, about the next wild plot twist coming their way in Starz’s hit crime family drama “Power Book III: Raising Kanan,” in which they play Kanan and his cousin Jukebox, respectively, but sometimes they insist. “I like to know everything that’s going on just so I can kind of formulate the performance throughout the season,” says Kilgore, who first made her mark as Ti Moune in the 2017-2019 Broadway revival of “Once on This Island.” Curtis notes: “I think it gave me the insight, the perspective and the maturity to handle the pace of everything that comes with leading a show.”

The second half of the fourth and final season of Starz’ hit series “Power Book II: Ghost” doesn’t premiere until September, but Rainey, 23, shot his last scene as conflicted crime family scion Tariq St. Patrick more than a year ago, giving him more time to explore other artistic endeavors in addition to acting. “I love creating music, making beats,” he says. “Also, I have a team of writers and we’re working on scripts for movies and shows and stuff like that.”

After releasing a string of singles with Brent Faiyaz’s ISO Supremacy label, 24-year-old Richman posted a teaser of “Million Dollar Baby” to TikTok in April — a move that would lead to a No. 2 debut on the Billboard Hot 100 two weeks later. As the dance challenges that helped make the song go viral continue to proliferate, the pop-rap artist finds himself having spent 10 weeks at No. 1 on the TikTok Top 50 chart.

Sessa’s debut role in Oscar-nominated “The Holdovers” landed the New Jersey native on Variety’s 2023 10 Actors to Watch list, and he’s most proud of a moving dinner scene between him and Paul Giamatti, noting that every time director Alexander Payne quickly moved on “to the next scene, something was done well.” Sessa’s upcoming slate of projects includes starring in “Tow” with Rose Byrne, joining the “Now You See Me” heist franchise for its third installment, plus Christmas comedy “Oh. What. Fun.”

The Berlin festival hit “Cuckoo” — an upcoming Neon release — showed the range of Schafer, 25, who recently was tapped to star with Michelle Yeoh in Amazon Prime Video’s “Blade Runner 2099” series. “Most of the time when I watch myself, I have to watch through my hands. I didn’t have to do that with this movie,” Schafer says of “Cuckoo,” adding, “I genuinely felt really solid about my performance.” The “Euphoria” star also has A24’s “Mother Mary” with Anne Hathaway and Michaela Coel on deck and walked the Cannes red carpet in support of Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Kinds of Kindness.”

Spaeny, 25, wowed critics and audiences as Priscilla Presley in Sofia Coppola’s “Priscilla,” earning a best actress trophy at the Venice Film Festival and a Golden Globe nomination. “I think everyone just came together and no one slept much for that month. But we all did it for the love of the movie and the story and Sofia,” she says. This year, she co-starred in hit “Civil War,” has “Alien: Romulus” on deck and has been tapped for the third installment of the “Knives Out” film series.

To perhaps even greater disbelief, she also found a fan in Rihanna: “You never think that you’re going to actually meet her one day and be one of her favorite artists.”

In the meantime, Stella uses her downtime to relax and has “been religiously watching” ‘Love Island USA’s’ new season.

Turizo, 24, solidified his position as a major force in the Latin music world with his wildly successful single, “La Bachata,” becoming the No. 1 most-streamed Latin solo song in Spotify history, and achieving U.S. platinum and 26 x Latin platinum status in 2023. In the lead-up to his fourth studio album, “201,” which comes out this fall, the Miami-based Colombian artist found himself a Paris fashion-week fixture with front row seats at Fendi, Dior and Balmain.

“Under the Bridge” The powerhouse young cast of the critically acclaimed Hulu crime series set in the 1990s earned praise for their commitment and depth they brought to their performances. For Guidry, 17, that meant extensive research — she “delved deep into the details, including the atmosphere of Saanich,” where the series is set. Walton, 18, embraced method acting for the part and “would journal about” his character Warren while trying to remain immersed in 1990s elements like rap and baggie clothes. Goodfellow, 18, notes that developing Dusty’s character meant “focusing on her voice: not just her accent, which is very different, but the tone, cadence and how it affects her physicality.” For Gupta, 14, “understanding her [character’s] characteristics was very important, such as the way she smiled or the way she lowered her voice in certain moments.” Izzy G, 16, knew she would have to humanize Kelly without judging and figure out how to be sure she was more than just a headline.

XAVI Received 2024. Courtesy of Luis Hernandez

The Arizona native who caught the attention of Interscope executives on social media began 2024 with his hit single, “La Diabla,” becoming the No. 1 song on Spotify’s Global 200. Blending R&B, pop and urban with música Mexicana, the 20-year-old says the highlight of his year was his Poco a Poco tour. “The name explains how ‘little by little’ we are chasing our dreams,” he says, dreams that will soon find him finishing a debut album and helping his family open a restaurant.

This year, Yoo made her mark in Amazon Prime Video’s “Expats,” starring alongside Nicole Kidman and Sarayu Blue as Mercy, who ends up as part of the series’ central tragedy. “Expats” showrunner Lulu Wang told Variety, “Ji-young has such an expressive face that gives you so much even when she does so little. She doesn’t have to do much, and all those moments are there.”

What shows have they been binging on? Ryding says it’s “The Bear,” noting that “the writing is so specific, and the performances are wonderful.” Rudberg names the Swedish drama “Threesome,” noting the chemistry among the main cast members.

The KQ Entertainment act scored their first Billboard No. 1 in December 2023 with “The World EP.Fin: Will,” hit No. 2 with EP “Golden Hour: Part1” in June, the biggest sales week for any 2024 K-pop album.

It’s always nice to be moved!”

7 things to know prior to coming to Chechnya (even if you don’t go)

omar rudberg tour

1) Is it safe to go to Chechnya ?

omar rudberg tour

Yes , it is. But remember that this is a conservative region with an Islamic population. You can’t misbehave as if on some island getaway - drunken brawls and outbursts are simply unacceptable.

Local police officers will always be polite to you, but they won’t hesitate to twist your arm behind your back and slap on the handcuffs if you overstep the line. They can also be pretty quick to reach for their guns. In Chechnya, the police are armed with AKs and handguns and they know how to use them: For years the region was ravaged by war as terrorists and Russia went head to head.

So it’s a trade-off: No college-like drunken parties in exchange for total safety. Anyway, alcohol is banned.

2) How to get to there?

omar rudberg tour

There are two ways to get there. You can take a direct flight from Moscow to Grozny from Vnukovo Airport, and planes fly there and back twice a day.  

Or you can fill up the car with fuel and embark on a road trip. Grozny is 1,850 km south of Moscow and unlike much of the country, the route is paved with new roads. The trip will take you through cities like Voronezh and Rostov-on-Don, and you’ll also see provincial Russia in all its glory.

3) How to communicate with the locals ?

omar rudberg tour

Residents of the region, which was a war zone only a decade ago, are sociable and curious people. They don’t get to see a lot of tourists as people are still afraid to visit due to Chechnya's history - but the locals really are very welcoming.

One small warning: If you get to know a family, you should never reject their offer to come for dinner. If you can’t go right away, schedule it for another day. Otherwise, they’ll feel offended and any friendship could be ruined.

People are extremely eager to show how much their world has changed since the war, which can result in sometimes excessive demonstrations of hospitality. Our advice, just enjoy the ride.

omar rudberg tour

As a region with a dominantly Islamic population, Chechnya has some specific rules for clothes. A girl in should never expose her bare legs and arms.

As for the men, keep one thing in mind; No shorts or fancy T-shirts.

5) Where to go and what to see

omar rudberg tour

You won’t find any booze, pot, or anything of that kind in Chechnya. Not even cigarettes or hookah. Such things can’t be found even in fancy hotels and restaurants – again, because of Muslim traditions. Having no other options, locals tend to lead a healthy lifestyle and enjoy sports, culture, guns and traveling.

Sports are sacred for them as they traditionally see their mountain region as the homeland of warriors. Every man in Chechnya has tried his hand at martial arts at least once in his life. The first thing our guide showed me was his son wrestling in a local Judo tournament. The venue for this event - a dilapidated sports gym with frayed walls - was swarming with people. Locals enjoy watching sports and there are a number of big arenas recently built for such events. The most impressive is the Ahmat Arena.

If you enjoy cultural events then head to the Center Theater and the largest mosque of the region - The Heart of Chechnya. Both are situated in Grozny.

You’ll love Chechnya if you’re a gun enthusiast. The region’s leader Ramzan Kadyrov personally oversees the ongoing construction of the Russian University of Spetsnaz . It’s situated 33 km outside of Grozny near the city of Gudermes.

Some parts of the center are under construction but the shooting ranges are open, where you can literally shoot anything you want from pistols to heavy machine guns and grenade launchers (yes, you read it right). In 2020, once construction is complete, you’ll be able to go underwater shooting and even defuse mines (if you are crazy).

Besides shooting and blowing things up, I would recommend going on a hike. If you’re into camping, walking through forests, and mountaineering, this is the place to go. Start in Grozny and travel in any direction you like - the countryside is stunning.

omar rudberg tour

You won’t find any pork here. That’s for sure.

Try the local shashlik and kebab, especially the mutton . There are numerous cafes serving local cuisine and any local taxi driver will get you to whichever joint in 20 minutes max - Grozny is a small city compared to Moscow.

7) What else should you know before going to Chechnya

omar rudberg tour

Exchange dollars (or whatever currency you have) for rubles prior to traveling there - doing this will save you time as you don’t want the hassle of having to look for a local bank in Chechnya to change money.

You’ll also need cash as you won’t be able to pay with your credit card (except in big fancy restaurants and hotels where you won’t be spending time if you wish to get stuck into the local culture).

You should not also avoid conversing with the local girls as you might in another big city. Different rules apply here, trust us, don’t make any moves.

But my main advice to you would be to remain open-minded and outgoing. Chechnya turned out to be totally different from what I’ve seen on the TV or horror stories I’d heard from friends. Chechnya is definitely a place to go.

IDYLLIC ALPINE MEADOWS and SILENT STONE TOWERS

June 05 ⇾ june 10 september 01 ⇾ september 06.

Thank you for your request, we will get back to you within the next 24 hours. 

In addition to our regular group departures to Chechnya , we also offer bespoke tour services for private travel parties and lone wolves alike. As a traveller-oriented boutique operator, tailored trips and bespoke adventures are our bread and butter. Get in touch for more info on our customised journeys to Chechnya ! 

Day 1 — grozny.

Meet-and-greet at Grozny International Airport and transfer to our hotel of choice in downtown Grozny .

Introductory briefing about the region, the route and the set of rules to observe while travelling in Chechnya .

We'll then spend the entire day touring and exploring Grozny , a resilient Caucasian metropolis that, like a mythical Phoenix , astonishingly resurged from the ruins and desperation of the post- Soviet 90s.

Overnight in Grozny .

DAY 2 — Argun

Today we’ll visit the thriving towns of the Chechen flatlands, namely Urus Martan , Argun and Shali .

Once grim theatres of bloody battles, these Soviet -built urban centres are now experiencing an oil-fuelled renaissance: UAE -style skylines, futuristic mosques and thriving city life.

In the afternoon we’ll then return to Grozny , where you’ll enjoy some free time on your own to either stroll around the lively city centre or relax at your hotel spa.

DAY 3 — Itum-Kale

In the morning we'll transfer south to the Chechen Highlands towards the southern districts of Sharoysky and Itum-Kalinsky .

We’ll spend the morning visiting medieval watchtowers, obscure necropolises and traditional Chechen hamlets ( auls ): stony jewels dotting postcard-like mountainscapes.

Back in Grozny , we'll enjoy a guided tour to the Chechen National Museum to learn more about the history of the Vainakh , the indigenous Caucasian ethnicity that comprehends both the Chechen and the Igush peoples (as well as the Kists and the Bats in neighbouring Georgia ).

Dinner and overnight in Grozny .

DAY 4 — Kezenoyam

Early in the morning we'll leave Grozny and head to Kezenoyam , a magnificent mountain lake surrounded by high peaks and green pastures.

On our way to the lake, we'll stop for some food at the central bazaar of Vedeno , a small town notoriously known for having headquartered frightful Chechen rebels and Arab radical islamist fighters during the Chechen Wars .

After having spent some relaxing time at the lake, we'll pay a quick visit to the nearby ghost village of Khoy and shortly pop into Dagestan to visit the picturesque village of Andi , before eventually re-entering Chechnya for our descent to Grozny .

DAY 5 — Ingushetia

Early in the morning we'll move westwards and head for the tiny Republic of Ingushetia to reach the remote mountain district of Dzheyrakh , famous for its quaint villages and medieval watchtowers overlooking the Great Caucasus Range .

The Ingushes are an ethnic group closely related to the Chechens and their languages are mutually intelligible; during the good old Soviet days the two people were united under one single geopolitical entity: the Chechen-Ingush Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic .

We’ll spend the first half of the day touring the striking watchtower complexes of the area ( Erzi, Targim, Egikal, Khamkhi and Vovnushki, as well as the Georgian church of Tkhaba-Yerdy ) and then head for the plains towards Nazran , the largest town in Ingushetia , and Magas , the surreal brand-new capital of the republic, where we'll pay a visit to the Memorial of the Ingush Genocide .
