US band Haim, consisting of sisters Alana, Este, and Danielle Haim, has announced a UK tour in support of their forthcoming album 'I Quit'. The tour marks their first performances in the UK since their 2023 show at London's All Points East. The band is set to play in major cities including London, Cardiff, and Glasgow, with the tour kicking off on October 24th at Nottingham's Motorpoint Arena and concluding on October 31st at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow.

The announcement comes on the heels of the release of three singles from the new album: 'Relationships', 'Everybody's Trying To Figure Me Out', and 'Down To Be Wrong'. Danielle Haim shared her personal connection to 'Everybody's Trying To Figure Me Out', describing it as her favorite song written in recent years and a source of comfort during challenging times. The album 'I Quit', set to be released on June 20th, is the band's first since 2020's 'Women In Music Pt III', which earned them a Brit Award and two Grammy nominations.

Tickets for the tour will go on general sale at 10am on May 2nd, with several presale opportunities available beforehand. Fans who have pre-ordered the album can access a presale starting Tuesday, while O2 Priority members and Live Nation newsletter subscribers have their own exclusive windows. The tour promises to bring Haim's dynamic performances to some of the UK's largest venues, including London's The O2 and Manchester's Co-Op Live.

Formed in California in 2007, Haim has established themselves as a formidable force in the music industry, with six UK top 40 singles and two UK number one albums. Their upcoming tour not only supports their new album but also continues their tradition of connecting with fans through heartfelt music and electrifying live performances. As the band prepares to take the stage across the UK, fans eagerly anticipate the release of 'I Quit' and the opportunity to experience Haim's latest musical evolution live.

A major outage at Amazon Web Services has disrupted operations for numerous popular applications and platforms globally, affecting millions of users. The cloud computing infrastructure failure began early Monday morning, with users reporting widespread issues accessing services including Snapchat, Duolingo, Zoom, and various gaming platforms. Amazon confirmed it was investigating increased error rates and latency across multiple AWS services, though the company has not yet identified the root cause of the system failure.

The disruption appears to have originated with servers hosted in the US-EAST-1 region, according to initial reports. This triggered a cascade effect that impacted AWS infrastructure supporting millions of websites and applications worldwide. Downdetector, a platform that monitors service outages, reported receiving over four million problem reports in a single morning—more than double the typical weekly volume—indicating the scale of the disruption across affected services.

Among the services experiencing significant operational problems are communication platforms like Zoom, Signal, and Slack; gaming services including Roblox, Fortnite, and PlayStation Network; social media applications such as Snapchat; and financial services from banks including Lloyds and Bank of Scotland. Streaming platforms Prime Video and Crunchyroll, along with educational tool Duolingo and design platform Canva, have also been affected by the cloud service failure.

The outage has manifested differently across regions, with Amazon's own websites remaining operational in Europe while still experiencing service-specific errors. AWS engineers are actively working to mitigate the issues and restore normal operations. The company has committed to providing regular updates as they work to resolve the widespread service disruption that has highlighted the internet's heavy reliance on cloud infrastructure providers.
