Jennifer Lopez Reveals European “Up All Night Tour” Dates

Jennifer Lopez is ready to pull some all-nighters this summer…

The 55-year-old Puerto Rican superstar has announced plans to take her Up All Night Tour to Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia this summer, writing on social media, “Are you ready for UP ALL NIGHT #JLoLiveIn2025?! I can’t wait to see you this summer ✨🎤🎶 It’s almost time…”

Jennifer LopezLopez posted the full routing for the Euro swing, her first road show in five years, which is slated to kick off on July 8 in Vigo, Spain, at Parque Tafisa, and includes six more stops in the country before moving on to Hungary on July 20, followed by shows in Italy, Turkey, Poland and Romania.

The tour will then move on to the Middle East with gigs in the United Arab Emirates and Egypt, before hitting Kazakhstan, Armenia, Turkey and Uzbekistan, wrapping up on August 10 at the Central Stadium in Almaty, Kazakhstan.

Last week, Lopez posted rehearsal footage with choreographer Derek Hough, following on the heels of a June 20 photo dump of photos from her intense prep for the tour.

Lopez has not mounted a proper tour since 2019’s It’s My Party global outing; she announced a North American tour in support of her 2024 This is Me… Now album only to cancel it less than a month before launch in order to take time off “to be with her children, family and close friends.”

Lopez is also gearing up for a return to the big screen on October 10 when she stars in director Bill Condon’s adaptation of the 1993 Broadway play Kiss of the Spider Woman.

JLo stars as Ingrid Luna in the film, in which two prisoners (Diego Luna and Tonatiuh) cook up song-and-dance routines based on the legendary actress’ roles while stuck in a prison cell during the waning days of Argentina’s Dirty War, which ravaged the nation from 1974 until 1983.

Here’s the list of Lopez’s summer 2025 European shows:

Jennifer Lopez to Co-Headline This Year’s WorldPride Music Festival in Washington, D.C.

It’s a Pride-ful moment for Jennifer Lopez

The 55-year-old Puerto Rican superstar will perform at this year’s WorldPride, which returns to the United States for the first time since 2019.

Jennifer LopezLopez will co-headline the event alongside Troye Sivan for the Washington, D.C.-bound festival.

Taking place on June 6 and 7 at the RFK Festival Grounds, the WorldPride Music Festival is also set to feature breakout performances from stars including Raye, Tinashe, Kim Petras, Rita Ora, RuPaul, Galantis, Grimes, Marina and more.

In a statement released with the news, the festival’s executive producer Jake Resnicow said that the semi-annual event promised to be “a moment the world will remember” thanks to their roster of artists. “With legendary artists and our global community coming together, we’re creating an electrifying celebration that unites, uplifts, and amplifies LGBTQ+ voices like never before,” he said. “Hosting this festival in our nation’s capital makes it even more powerful — it’s not just a party, it’s a global movement.”

“I am completely heartsick and devastated about letting you down,” she wrote at the time. “Please know that I wouldn’t do this if I didn’t feel that it was absolutely necessary. I promise I will make it up to you and we will all be together again.”

Sivan, meanwhile, is coming off a huge 2024, where he toured the U.S. with breakout superstar Charli XCX on their co-headlining, sold-out Sweat Tour.

Colman Domingo to Serve as Co-Chair of Vogue’s 2025 Met Gala

Colman Domingo is preparing for a superfine moment….

Vogue announced the theme for the 2025 Met Gala is “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” with the 54-year-old Emmy-winning actor Belizean-Guatemalan American actor and activist among the event’s co-chairs.

Colman DomingoThe Met Gala theme draws inspiration from Monica L. Miller’s 2009 book, Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity.

Per the publication, the corresponding exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City will feature “garments, paintings, photographs, and more—all exploring the indelible style of Black men in the context of dandyism, from the 18th-century through present day.”

The dress code for the event will be revealed in the coming months.

Dandyism — a menswear style and code of conduct defined by its tailored outfits, refinement, sartorial elegance and gentlemanly manners — has been prevalent in the Black community for centuries. Black dandyism is known for integrating European menswear with an African aesthetic, marking social and cultural resistance as it fought devastating stereotypes against Black men throughout the 1800s and 1900s.

As a result, for the first time in history, this year’s co-chairs are all Black men.

Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky and Pharrell Williams will join Vogue’s editor-in-chief Anna Wintour as the co-chairs the 2025 Met Gala, alongside honorary chair LeBron James.

The 2025 Met Gala will take place on May 5, 2025, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Bad Bunny and Jennifer Lopez served as co-chairs of the 2024 event, as did Zendaya and Chris Hemsworth.

The theme was Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion and the whimsical “Garden of Time” dress code was inspired by a 1962 J.G. Ballard short story of the same name.

Sergio Trujillo to Direct & Choreograph The Broadway-Bound “Studio 54 The Musical”

It’s a disco inferno for Sergio Trujillo

The 61-year-old Colombian Tony Award-winning theater director, choreographer, dancer and actor will direct and choreograph the Broadway-bound Studio 54 The Musical.

Sergio TrujilloProducers Robert Greenblatt and Neil Meron are developing the new work with a book by Chad Hodge.

The musical, which will feature a full playlist of hits from the disco era, will trace “the astonishing ascent and sudden downfall of the most legendary club in nightlife history.”

“Neil Meron and I started talking about the amazing story of Studio 54 as a possible series years ago,” said Greenblatt in an exclusive statement to Deadline, “but we finally came to our senses and realized we had the perfect musical right under our noses.”

Add Meron, “And with book writer Chad Hodge and the incredible Sergio Trujillo, who came of age during the disco dance craze in Toronto and New York, we have the perfect team to bring it to life.”

Casting details and production schedule are to be announced.

The synopsis: “In staggeringly short order, two scrappy impresarios turned an abandoned west side theater into the hottest club in the history of New York– utterly transforming music, nightlife, and celebrity culture in the process. It also transformed the lives of everyone who made it past the door, whether for one extraordinary night or every night. Until it all abruptly came to an end. Studio 54 The Musical will bring audiences past the velvet rope and into a world of unfathomable decadence, set to the thumping sound of the most iconic disco hits of the 1970s and populated by a cast of unforgettable characters, all having the time of their lives. Welcome to Studio 54.”

The legendary disco nightclub was opened by Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager in 1977 and quickly become a cultural sensation. Andy Warhol, Liza Minnelli, Truman Capote, Bianca Jagger and countless other celebrities made the venue their nighttime home-away-from-home, along with New York City’s most fabulous collection of gay, straight and trans nightclubbers. The club on West 54th Street in Manhattan is currently a Broadway theater operated by the Roundabout Theatre Company.

Trujillo has an impressive roster of Broadway credits, including Ain’t Too Proud, Memphis, Jersey Boys, The Addams Family, On Your Feet! and Summer: The Donna Summer Musical.

He was most recently Director/Choreographer of the new musical Real Women Have Curves, which debuted at American Repertory Theatre, and he served as choreographer for the upcoming movie musical Kiss of the Spider Woman starring Jennifer Lopez.

He was Emmy-nominated for his choreography for NBC’s Annie Live!

Netflix Options Emily Henry’s Novel “Happy Place” for Jennifer Lopez’s Nuyorican Productions

Jennifer Lopez’s production company has set its sights on a happy project…

Netflix has reportedly optioned Emily Henry’s novel Happy Place for the 54-year-old Puerto Rican superstar’s Nuyorican Productions.

Jennifer LopezPlans to adapt the novel as a series are underway, and producers and streaming executives are reportedly currently meeting with writers.

The news arrives as Lopez’s Netflix film Atlas clears 72.7M global views, another high for the actress and producer after her 2023 movie with the streamer, The Mother, which is the ninth-most-watched movie on Netflix with 136.4M.

The multi-hyphenate’s Nuyorican Productions inked a multi-year first-look deal with Netflix spanning feature films, television series and unscripted content back in 2021, with an emphasis on projects that support diverse female actors, writers and filmmakers.

Henry is a No. 1 New York Times and No. 1 Sunday Times bestselling author whose novels include Book Lovers, People We Meet on Vacation, and Beach Read.

Emily Henry, Happy Place

The Berkley published Happy Place follows Harriet and Wyn, who’ve been a perfect couple since they met in college — they go together like salt and pepper, honey and tea, lobster and rolls. Except now, for reasons they’re still not discussing, they don’t. They broke up five months ago, and they still haven’t told their best friends. They find themselves sharing a bedroom at the Maine cottage that has been their friend group’s yearly getaway for the past decade, and continue to lie through their teeth to their friends about their relationship status.

Natalie Haack Flores, VP Development at Nuyorican, reportedly brought the projects to the producers. Series producers will be Nuyorican’s Lopez, Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas and Benny Medina.
