•
Bonnaroo‘s annual lineup guessing game, Roo Clues, is currently underway, and, similar to last year, it seems that they’ll all be Instagram-based word games (a definite shift from past years with real-life scavenger hunts and elaborate riddles, but we’ll take it).

Capping off a massive year, alt/indie/rap/electropop duo twenty one pilots stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon late last month to perform “Heavydirtysoul,” the bombastic opening track from their hit 2015 album, Blurryface.
