The Arizona Diamondbacks' weekend series against the Los Angeles Dodgers wasn't particularly successful, but at least the team looked good while they were playing.

They'll continue to wear the jerseys during every Friday home game throughout the rest of the 2025 season.

R&B singer Brian McKnight is Arizona-bound this summer for a show at We-Ko-Pa Casino Resort in Fort McDowell. That seems a less complicated endeavor than the current defamation lawsuit the singer recently filed against Jaguar Wright. In the lawsuit, McKnight sued Wright over comments that she had made about him and his ex-wife, Julie McKnight. On her social media platforms, Wright alleged that Julie was a victim of domestic violence and verbal assault perpetrated by McKnight.

'A futuristic wizard prophet': The Weeknd delivered music and mystery at his 2025 Phoenix tour launch

4 days ago | phoenixnewtimes.com | Jennifer Goldberg

Last night, the nearly sold-out crowd at Glendale's State Farm Stadium came for a killer show by The Weeknd. They got it. The opening show of Abel Tefaye's After Hours Til Dawn 2025 tour was two hours of eye-popping, body-moving spectacle, complete with enough cross imagery, columns of flame and weird costumes that people (and by people, I mean me) joked/not-joked that the whole production was some kind of energy-harvesting occult ritual.

The Weeknd returned to State Farm Stadium on Friday, May 9, for the opening show of his After Hours Til Dawn tour.

The two-hour set that followed dazzled eyes and ears with smash hits, new tracks and a few surprises, all set to dramatic, often religiously influenced visuals.

A huge mining company has to keep its hands off the holy Apache land of Oak Flat… for now. On Friday afternoon, a federal judge ruled that the decade-long battle over the federally-owned land roughly 70 miles east of Phoenix — and its 40 billion pounds of copper — will be for the Supreme Court to decide. That hits the brakes on a planned transfer of the land to Resolution Copper, a company owned by British-Australian mining megacorporations Rio Tinto and BHP.
