  • When singer Ellie Goulding hints at a secret show, people will listen.

    The enchanting English songbird dropped that gem to her 1.2 million Twitter followers a day before her exclusive pop-up performance for Yahoo! Crash Concerts at Los Angeles’ most Instagrammable location: LACMA’s "Urban Lights" exhibit, a cluster of 202 antique street lamps that have become the museum’s defining image. We'll save you the Lights puns.

Fans cheered and passersby excitedly took to their phones to share their shock at coming across the singer’s first ever surprise show. Considering the appearance was bookended by

  • What could be more fun than spending a holiday weekend afternoon with Mercury Prize and Grammy-winning trio Muse? The band played London's Shepherd's Bush Empire--and we had the entire set streaming live for you to enjoy.

    Muse played the show in conjunction with the 2013 BRIT Awards Concert (the band is nominated for British Group and British Live Act this year), and in support of the charitable organization War Child, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary. War Child, as its name suggests, has the unique mission of protecting, saving, and caring for the youngest victims of war-torn countries; to date more than 800,000 children have benefited from their outreach.

    Muse frontman Matt Bellamy was pleased to be involved with such a great cause: "We are proud to have a continuing association with War Child, who have been doing amazing work over the last 20 years," he noted.

  • Matisyahu (Photo: Jonathan Leibson)Fans of Matisyahu no doubt know that the pioneering Jewish reggae superstar--who famously shaved his Hassidic beard in 2011--released his first-ever live acoustic EP, Spark Seeker: Acoustic Sessions, on Tuesday.

    Matisyahu had the opportunity to capture some moments from his annual "Festival Of Light" in December--from which he culled the material for his live recordings--and we at Yahoo! Music are delighted to premiere one of these performances, "Searchin'," for music fans to get a first look at.

    "I’m able to take these words and strip away much of that ‘studio’ process, exposing each lyric—bare, with little more than a guitar and a microphone," the singer noted. "It’s a different level of emotion that pours out in the acoustic setting."

    Matisyahu is currently about to embark on a cross-country tour starting this month. Here's where you can see him live, and be sure to check in at his official site for updates.
