How World Cup 2026 changed its sound

How World Cup 2026 changed its sound

Published by Webster

3 min readJun 30, 2026 04:24 PM IST At the 2026 World Cup, music is no longer something you just hear in the background. It has become part of the tournament itself, built into the way matches are staged and experienced inside stadiums. For a long time, World Cups were remembered through one shared soundtrack. Songs like “Waka Waka” or “La Copa de la Vida” played everywhere, from stadiums to television broadcasts. They gave each tournament a single identity – one sound that belonged to everyone, no matter which team you supported. That is no longer the case. The World Cup has moved away from one global anthem. Instead, there are now multiple songs and playlists tied to different teams and different moments in a match. Music is being used more deliberately, almost like another layer of the game, to shape how fans feel inside stadiums. Each team has been allowed to choose or submit its own music for specific moments. England players and fans, for instance, sang Oasis’ “Wonderwall” after their first match, turning …

Bobby Deol recalls mom Prakash Kaur’s quiet authority: ‘Even sound of her keys scared me’ | Bollywood News

Published by Parlour News

Bobby Deol, whose film Bandar released in theatres on Friday, has opened up about the values that shaped him beyond the spotlight. In a recent interview, the actor spoke about changing attitudes towards women over the years, revealing that he never subscribed to the belief that wives should be limited to household roles. He also shared affectionate memories of his mother and the quiet strength with which she ran the Deol household. In a conversation with Times Now, Bobby said older generations often followed more conservative ideas about the role of women. However, he admitted that he could never relate to the notion that wives should not have a life or identity outside the home. ‘I never understood why your partner shouldn’t be part of your life’ Bobby Deol said, “People from the older generation, including my parents’ generation, came from a time when women were not encouraged to do much outside the home. I never liked that and I never understood it. I always felt that if I got married, I would want my …

After Elon Musk, Greeks feel Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey doesn’t sound Greek to them | Hollywood News

Published by Parlour News

Billionaire businessman Elon Musk may have his own reasons of calling out Christopher Nolan’s “anti-white racism” for casting Black actor Lupita Nyong’o as the Helen of Troy in his upcoming ancient epic The Odyssey, a film adaptation of the text by ancient Greek poet Homer.  But his concerns of the lack of Greek representation in the film have now found resonance in people from Greece itself. A guest contributor in the Greek City Times called out Nolan’s ignorance of their people in a recent open latter.  “Greek people did not disappear after the age of myth. Greek culture was not frozen in classical marble. Greek language was not extinguished in antiquity. We are still here,” they wrote, adding, “For more than 3,000 continuous years, Greek identity has persisted through transformation rather than disappearance.” “At every stage, something essential remained unbroken: language, memory, and cultural continuity. Greek is still spoken today, the oldest continuously surviving language in Europe. Not reconstructed. Not revived. But lived. That continuity matters when stories like The Odyssey are retold,” the author argued. …

Writing in Korean on his Instagram story on Sunday, Jung Kook said there had been a sound issue during “Magic Shop” and apologised to the fans who attended the concert.
