Robbarti shines once again with dreamy new single ‘Living With The Dinosaurs’
Following the success of his debut single Moving Away, which garnered over 100,000 streams on platforms like Spotify and received our praises with an exclusive interview , Robbarti is back with his second single, Living With The Dinosaurs. The new track is now available on all major streaming services.
I’m looking at a photograph
And you’re in this photograph with him
And that shouldn’t bother me
So why does it bother me?
I’m living with the dinosaurs
And you’re in a spaceship I can’t see
Living up among the stars
You’re in a place where I can’t breathe…
Robbarti’s effortless blending of velvety pop sensibilities and raw guitar attitude is on full display in Living With The Dinosaurs.
The laid-back rhythm of the early going lulls you into a false sense of security, only to sneak up on you with a shimmering pop break that’s got staying power. With a backdrop of crumbling relationships and faces lined with age, the lyrics voice the silenced thoughts of anyone who’s sensed the numbness of drifting apart.
As a triples threat from Glasgow, Scotland, Robbarti’s dynamic blend of singing, songwriting, and instrumental mastery is capturing attention across the music scene.
Moving Away rocketed to impressive streaming heights, and the music industry took notice – a definite indication this up-and-coming artist is here to stay. Living With The Dinosaurs continues to build on Robbarti’s reputation for crafting relatable and emotionally resonant music.
Put on your headphones and let this song be your time machine. You’re about to enter a period of nostalgic rebirth, where the adversities you’ve faced are summoned to pay tribute to the unyielding spirit that shapes your every move. Yet, despite its nod to the past, the music stays irresistibly fresh and relatable.
After trading in his mic for diaper duty, Robbarti emerged from a decade-long break, refurbished and refocused, with a sound that’s wiser and more weathered.
A mature sensibility now permeates his work, supplanting the caustic energy of his early days with songs that capture the ache of love, the sting of loss, and the perpetual stumbling towards self-awareness. With Robbarti’s latest release, the curtain pulls back to reveal a songwriter of rare gift – one who pens melodies that soothe and stories that stir.

Travis Kelce calls Prince William “the coolest motherfucker” after Wembley meeting
Travis Kelce has recounted his experience meeting Prince William at one of Taylor Swift‘s ‘Eras’ tour concerts at Wembley Stadium this past weekend – see what Kelce had to say below.

This past weekend, Prince William celebrated his 42nd birthday at the first of her three sold-out shows at Wembley (June 21). Before the show kicked off, Kelce, his brother Jason and Taylor Swift met Prince William, Prince George and Princess Charlotte backstage.
On the latest episode of Jason Kelce’s New Heights podcast, the brothers reflected on what it was like to meet the Royals. Travis Kelce started off on the topic by saying: “We met royalty, guys. There was royalty at the show, I was fortunate enough that I didn’t get caught up in traffic long enough to where I got there early and got to meet Prince William.”
He continued: “Dude, he was the coolest motherfucker. He was so cool.”
The two brothers then spoke about being unsure if they should bow when meeting Prince William, Prince George and Princess Charlotte: “They were an absolute delight to meet. Wasn’t sure if I was supposed to bow to them, curtsy, just be an American idiot and shake their hand… We wanted to be polite, especially on this side of the park.”
While they enjoyed meeting Prince William, the Kelce brothers agreed that meeting Princess Charlotte was the highlight of the entire experience. “Prince William was fantastic, but the highlight was Princess Charlotte,” Jason Kelce said. “She was so fucking adorable. She had fire to her. She was asking questions.”
Travis agreed: “She was a superstar. She was awesome. I love it when parents ask their kids to be present, be vocal — such a good parent move. Let them feel comfortable talking to people. If anyone’s doing it right, Prince William’s doing it right.”
During the Wembley show, Prince William was seen dancing along to ‘Shake It Off’. After the show, Swift shared a birthday post in honour of Prince William, writing: “Happy Bday M8! London shows are off to a splendid start”. The post was accompanied by a selfie featuring Swift, Prince William, George, Charlotte and Travis Kelce.

This wasn’t the first time that Prince William and Taylor Swift have met. In 2013, the two shared the stage with Jon Bon Jovi at a charity event at Kensington Palace, where the trio performed ‘Livin’ On A Prayer’.
The Edinburgh date of the ‘Eras’ tour received a five-star review from NME, with Hannah Mylrea writing: “Despite being an arena show, in a huge, cavernous venue, Swift and her fans have managed to cultivate a community. This is a marvel of a show that comes with a beating heart.”

Storm Cancels Caifanes Show at SummerStage in NY: Watch the Moment Here
A Caifanes concert at the Capital One City Parks Foundation SummerStage in New York City was abruptly cut short due to bad weather on Wednesday night (June 26). The evening was a unique occasion for fans, who were able to see two of Mexico’s most iconic rock acts, Café Tacvba and Caifanes, together on the same stage.
The storm began 30 minutes after Caifanes took the stage at 8:15 p.m. (local time), limiting them to only four songs despite the great anticipation of their fans at the sold-out show. The screen behind the stage displayed a weather warning: “Due to the inclement weather, guests are asked to safely follow instructions from our event staff.”
The unfortunate twist was reminiscent of last year’s incident, when Colombian rocker Juanes’ performance was disrupted not by the weather, but by excessive crowds.
Caifanes opened their brief set with the crowd favorite “La Negra Tomasa,” which was followed by “Para Que No Digas Que No Pienso En Ti.” Ironically the band ended with “Viento” (meaning “wind”) just as the weather turned fierce. In a memorable moment of the night, just before their performance was stopped, Emmanuel del Real, known as Meme from Café Tacvba, joined Caifanes onstage. He led “Viento” with his voice and guitar, creating a standout moment that fans got to enjoy before the premature conclusion of the event.
Both bands were nearing the end of a 20-date joint tour with upcoming performances scheduled in Toronto, Chicago and Indianapolis. Despite the setback in New York, the tour marks an important milestone, reuniting two Latin rock titans for fans across North America.
The SummerStage concert featuring these two giants of the Mexican rock scene remains a testament to their enduring appeal and the multi-generational fan base they continue to inspire, despite the unpredictable challenges posed by nature.
Below, watch the moment when the Caifanes concert was canceled.
