It’s a seasonal slate defined by its sprawl, with several exciting and eclectic one-off events and young stars rising to newfound status at the arena level.
Pop music comes in all stripes, and from across nations. Afro-pop continues its Stateside expansion with Ayra Starr (Webster Hall; Sept. 2) and Asake (Barclays Center; Sept. 8). The slick K-pop girl groups aespa and LOONA hit Barclays (Sept. 5) and the Theatre at Madison Square Garden (Sept. 15), respectively. At MetLife, the Colombian singer Karol G experiments with Latin trap and reggaetón (Sept. 7-8). Dynamic artists tinker in three shows at Terminal 5: Róisín Murphy embraces the minimal techno of DJ Koze (Sept. 27), Jessie Ware reinvigorates disco and funk (Oct. 20-21), and Tinashe and Shygirl test out glitchy, club-aligned bops (Nov. 1).

PARIS FRIEND - SHUANG XUETAO
Xiaoguo had a terror of thirst, so he kept a glass of water on the table beside his hospital bed. As soon as it was empty, he asked me to refill it. I wanted to warn him that this was unhealthy - guzzling water all night long puts pressure on the kidneys, and pissing that much couldn't be good for his injury. He was tall, though, so I decided his insides could probably cope.
