The Killers are teaming up with director Werner Herzog for a live concert webcast in September. The concert will be the 11th installment of the American Express Unstaged series, which streams live on VEVO and YouTube. The Killers concert will take place at the Paradise Theater in the Bronx on September 18 at 7 p.m., the same day the band releases its new album, Battle Born. Speaking about the show, bassist Mark Stoermer told Rolling Stone, "[Herzog] has ideas for someone crowd-surfing with a camera on. He's gonna put cameras on Ronnie [Vannucci, Jr.] while he's playing drums." Stoermer added that there will be other surprises as well. "I think there's gonna be an animal involved," he said. "I'm sure it will be all done the right way."

Foo Fighters

The fundraiser also will include sets from Jack Johnson, Motion City Soundtrack and Asher Roth.

After writing the 2010 album Speak Now by herself, Taylor Swift veered in a different direction for Red, co-writing with Pop hitmakers such as Max Martin and Adele collaborator Dan Wilson. She wound up with nearly 40 potential songs for the new album, resulting in her most eclectic work yet. "I felt like an apprentice," Swift told Rolling Stone about working with the different songwriters. "They taught me so much about melodic sense, and they let me do what I love, which is the lyrics." As expected, Swift wrote about her usual themes of romance and heartbreak. "I know general things about love," she added. "How to treat people well, what you deserve and when to walk away. Other than that, love is a complete mystery – and that's why I like to write about it." Swift's new single, "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," is #1 for the second week in a row on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Christina Aguilera's next album is still without a release date or announced title, but fans already know the first single is called "Your Body," and it was produced by Max Martin. The new album also will feature a guest spot from Cee Lo Green, her co-worker on The Voice. "I've been through a lot since the release of my last album, being on (The Voice), having had a divorce," Aguilera said, according to Billboard.com. "This is all sort of a free rebirth for me. I'm embracing many different things, but it's all feel-good." She added that some tracks are "super expressive" and fun, with moments that are "super vulnerable." Aguilera will perform "Your Body" on The Voice on September 17.

He had been slated to play Made In America on Sunday, and was expected to perform alongside Pearl Jam later in the night, reuniting Temple Of The Dog.

Owl City will kick off a fall tour on September 5 in Nashville, and main man Adam Young says that fans should expect to hear "new songs, old songs, mixture of both." Young told MTV News: "There's something I don't really do on the record that I try to do live, cause how can you really do a big rock show and not have a lot of guitars? I try to have like big loud guitars up front and center to make it have that arena rock feel. [It's] different for some songs, just different flavors, different renditions, medleys, interludes. It's this big arc of music. There's never really silence."

Saturday Night Live has rolled out the first slate of musical guests for its upcoming 38th season. Kicking off the new season on September 15 will be Frank Ocean, followed on September 22 by Mumford & Sons, who will be making their SNL debut. On October 6, Muse will be rocking the SNL stage.

A note on the band's website explains: "The band are devastated that what has been a triumphant tour for them, with many highlights, has ended this way – and know that the fans will be as disappointed as they are. Nick held out all week, hoping that he would be well enough to perform again for these final few shows, but unfortunately the medical advice he has been given today requires him to continue to rest."
