Young man sentenced for planning attack on Taylor Swift concert

Changes to the FIFA Fan Festival musical lineup

The weather conditions over the weekend forced adjustments to the FIFA Fan Festival Monterrey programming. Organizers confirmed that the concerts scheduled for this Saturday were rescheduled due to the damage the Live Stage suffered during Friday’s storm.

The presentation of El Gran Silencio was moved to July 2, while La Costumbre —whose show was suspended on Friday— will now play on July 7. This was reported by Apodaca Group on social networks.

Despite the changes, the venue will open its doors at 5:00 p.m. The broadcasts of the World Cup matches are still on: Ecuador vs. Curacao at 6:00 p.m., and Tunisia vs. Japan at 10:00 p.m., both in the Food & Soul area.

Caution for the weather

The rescheduling occurs a day after heavy rains and winds of up to 50 km/h caused damage to various facilities in the Fundidora Park. Civil Protection of Nuevo León maintains a preventive notice for the afternoon and evening of this Saturday, which is why it asks the population to take extreme care in the metropolitan area.

Dua Lipa and Callum Turner have already shared the first images of their religious wedding, held on May 31 at the Villa Valguarnera, in Palermo, Sicily. The wedding occurred six days after the civil ceremony at Marylebone Town Hall, London.

The details of the ceremony

The singer wore a dress designed by Matthieu Blazy, creative director of Chanel, made with gold and silver beads and a train adorned with 25,000 feathers. Her veil included a feather headdress that, according to the Daily Mail, required 3,220 hours of embroidery. Callum Turner opted for a Louis Vuitton suit.

The official photographs were taken by British photographer David Sims, specialized in contemporary fashion. Among the guests were Donatella Versace, Charli XCX and Elton John, who livened up the evening by singing “Your Song” for the couple.

The wedding banquet

The reception, valued at around £1.5 million, brought together 150 people including family and friends. The menu, led by Michelin-starred chef Tony Lo Coco, included three courses: Sicilian pasta with eggplant, chickpea fritters and fried potato balls. For dessert they served cannolis and cassata, a traditional Italian dessert.

A pioneer of interracial comedy

Tom Dreesen, who with Tim Reid formed one of the first interracial stand-up duos in the United States and years later opened for Frank Sinatra, died on Wednesday at the age of 86. The news was confirmed by his publicist Lori De Waal. The cause of death was not revealed.

From Chicago to history

The duo met in Chicago and in 1969 they created Tim and Tom. Amid racial tensions, they used humor to address social issues and unite diverse audiences. They worked together until the mid-seventies. Reid later shined solo as DJ Venus Flytrap in the comedy WKRP in Cincinnati; Dreesen was a guest star on that show.

Solo career and television

After separating, Dreesen perfected his stand-up and achieved more than 500 appearances on national television. He was a guest 60 times on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson and frequently appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman, with whom he had been friends since the seventies at The Comedy Store in West Hollywood.

His last television appearance was last week on Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen. For 14 years he opened for Frank Sinatra, with whom he established a close relationship.

Legacy and family

Dreesen leaves behind his daughters Amy and Jennifer — from his marriage to Maryellen Subock, which ended in divorce in 1984 — and seven grandchildren. He was predeceased by his son Tommy.
