The Bay Area features the world premiere of 'Come Back to the 5 & Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean' as a musical and concerts by Lyle Lovett. In London, Dua Lipa, Loyle Carner, and Mallrat headline pre-Glastonbury shows, while Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour and LCD Soundsystem's residency at O2 Academy Brixton garner critical acclaim.
