Playboi Carti Drops Box Set Pre-Orders Instead Of Music And Fans Are Mad

He really had fans going there for a second. Playboi Carti set the music world on fire for a couple hours on September 12. He dropped a link teasing a major announcement at 9:30 pm ET. Immediately, the fans went wild with theories. Is Playboi Carti finally dropping a single? Could he be dropping a release date for the new album? Maybe even the album itself! The possibilities were endless. Then 9:30 rolled around, and we discovered what the announcement was.

Playboi Carti decided to release box sets to accompany his unreleased album. Well, scratch that. He released pre-order links for the box sets for the unreleased album. One of them comes with a hoodie, another comes with a t-short, the last one with a hat. All three pieces of clothing have the logo for his upcoming album, MUSIC, emblazoned on them. It's not a bad thing in a vacuum, but Playboi Carti had everybody scrambling for something big. The hype leading up to the announcement did not meet the announcement itself. Fans were not happy.

Playboi Carti Teased An Impending Release Date

The meme machine was swift and efficient. Carti fans fired up the old standbys, like comps of bricked shots and that one image of the guy applying clown makeup in the mirror. "F*ck you playboi carti and ur mysterious sh*t we all know ur just sum normal a*s mf fake as f*ck," wrote one particularly angry Twitter user. Others were less aggressive, and simply tired of being given the runaround. "Playboi Carti. We are tired," another user tweeted. "We are sick of this. Please give us what we want."

There is some silver lining to be gleaned from the pre-order drop. Well, sort of. Playboi Carti issued a statement confirming that the release date for the album will be "announced soon." An announcement for the announcement. Like we said, sort of. Fans don't want to hear more promises from Carti right now, though. They want to vent their frustrations. Keep scrolling to read more social media reactions to the pump fake drop. Do you think Carti will eventually drop his album? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more music/pop culture news updates.

Barfly Venue in London Returns to Historic Name With Frank Turner Exclusive Show

One of London’s most iconic grassroots venues is heading back to its original identity. The Camden Assembly, a North London live music space formerly known as The Barfly, is set to bring back its historic name after almost a decade under its current branding.

The change follows the venue’s acquisition by Propaganda Independent Venues, led by co founders Dan Ickowitz Seidler and Richard Buck, alongside co owner Chris McCormac.

The relaunch will begin with a performance from British artist Frank Turner on June 22. Ticket registration opens June 15 at 9 a.m. BST, with entry limited to fans who sign up in advance. Full details are available via the venue’s official Barfly Camden Instagram page.

Located on Chalk Farm Road in Camden, the 200 capacity venue has played a key role in London’s live music history since the 1980s, when it first operated as The Monarch. It later became The Barfly in the early 2000s, earning a reputation as a crucial launching pad for emerging artists, with early shows from acts like Coldplay, Amy Winehouse, The xx, and a four night residency from Ed Sheeran.

The space was rebranded as Camden Assembly in 2016 after a change in ownership and refurbishment. The new management says restoring the Barfly name is part of an effort to reconnect the venue with its legacy and cultural significance.

In a statement, Ickowitz Seidler said: “Barfly means so much to us all, and we’re honoured to begin a new chapter in its story. We’ll be announcing more special shows soon, but Frank Turner is the perfect artist to relaunch the Barfly stage. He embodies everything Barfly stands for.”

He added: “I hope live music fans will come out and support not just Barfly, but grassroots venues across the country. Before many of today’s biggest artists were filling arenas, they played at Barfly. You could be watching the next headliner on that stage any night.”

According to Access All Areas, the venue’s new owners also plan to introduce a Wall of Fame showcasing photos and memorabilia, along with blue plaques honoring key artists from its history. The revived Barfly is also expected to include a vinyl listening bar inspired by Tokyo’s listening culture.
