Hold on to your cowboy hats, a surprise artist has just been added to the lineup for Voices of America Country Music Fest 2024.

The festival, held in West Chester, announced Friday that three-time Grammy winner Diplo is now slated for a special late-night Saturday performance.

The 45-year-old released his latest country music venture, an EP titled "Thomas Wesley: The Mixtape" last month. The project comes on the heels of his recent country albums "Thomas Wesley: Chapter 2 – Swamp Savant," released in 2023, and "Thomas Wesley Chapter 1: Snake Oil," released in 2020.

Diplo joins headliners Keith Urban, Jason Aldean and Sam Hunt for the four-day festival scheduled for Aug. 8-11. It is expected to feature over 30 country artists in total, organizers said.

General admission tickets are currently priced at $229, Main Stage VIP passes cost $479 and Super VIP passes cost $1,529. The tickets allow admission to all four days of the festival.

You can no longer use Tumblr’s tipping feature
The reason for shutting down the feature is simple: it failed to gain traction. Additionally, it has been Tumblr's plan since last year's reorg to put an end to things that aren't performing well. In 2022, Tumblr introduced Tips as a complementary feature to Post+, its subscription offering that allowed creators to put content behind a paywall.

This Week in AI: Can we (and could we ever) trust OpenAI?
This week in AI, OpenAI launched discounted plans for nonprofits and education customers and drew back the curtains on its most recent efforts to stop bad actors from abusing its AI tools. OpenAI removed one of the voices used by its AI-powered chatbot ChatGPT after users pointed out that it sounded eerily similar to Johansson's. Johansson later released a statement saying that she hired legal counsel to inquire about the voice and get exact details about how it was developed -- and that she'd refused repeated entreaties from OpenAI to license her voice for ChatGPT. Now, a piece in The Washington Post implies that OpenAI didn't in fact seek to clone Johansson's voice and that any similarities were accidental.
