After years under the radar, Nashville-based Grammy winners Kings of Leon, are back with a vengeance, performing live on Friday, Aug. 9, at 9 p.m. GMT (4 p.m. EST). For the first time on YouTube, watch the live stream through a 360 degree camera you control to see the event from all angles.
This concert marks the latest in our AMEX Unstaged series that pairs musical artists and film directors to create innovative performances. Actor, comedian and drummer Fred Armisen will direct the concert at London’s Shepherd’s Bush, webcast globally on Vevo and YouTube.
KoL’s energetic new single “Supersoaker” is on YouTube now, and their sixth album “Mechanical Bull” is set to follow on Sept. 24. Tune in on Friday to hear their new hits and hopefully some of your old favorites, too.

Meet your August On The Rise nominees
In our monthly On The Rise program, we identify four partners whose channels drive significant YouTube watch time but haven’t yet reached the 100,000 subscriber mark. With your help, we’re sharing with you four dedicated partners who’d like your help to jump-start their audience development and channel growth. This August we’re excited to introduce you to partners whose content covers the worlds of beauty, cooking, style and celebrities.
We hope you enjoy them--and you can actually help these partners succeed further on YouTube. Review their videos below, vote for your favorite here, and one of these candidates will have the opportunity to be featured across YouTube later this month. In addition to your votes, each channel will be evaluated on criteria such as viewer engagement and channel optimization techniques to decide which partner we’ll feature.
In past months, featured On The Rise partners like mathmeeting and starofmay have gained many subscribers and seen their careers take off, in large part due to your support. This month’s poll will be open until August 13, 5 p.m. PT, so don’t forget to vote for your favorite channel. Check back to see which channel will be featured on August 30.
VideojugBeauty
With five video series ranging from fashion trends, celebrity looks, and hair and nail styles, the girls from Videojug share a myriad of beauty tips and tricks throughout the week.
CookingAndCrafting
Aloha! Based in Hawaii, Beth’s channel focuses on fast and easy meals, desserts and crafts. Watch her make everything from a delicious pineapple cake to a diaper cake tower (can’t eat this, but it’s a perfect craft idea for a baby shower).
dinatokio
Dina Tokio is a U.K. stylist and designer with a passion for vintage and hijab fashion. Her videos capture her styling tips and shopping hauls as well as some vlogs that really highlight her fun personality.
PopCandiesTV
Some of us are really into celebrity happenings, and PopCandiesTV knows it. They upload snippets of celebrity life throughout the day--you can get your fix on their channel.
If you’re interested in participating or have suggestions for partners you think should be featured, we encourage you to visit our On The Rise homepage. You can check out all of our past featured partners on the Featured Partners tab, or nominate a YouTube partner to be considered for the program on the Nominate tab. Feel free to submit nominations for your own channel, or for channels you follow that you think deserve more attention or could be the next YouTube sensation. We’ll continue to feature promising partners who drive YouTube watch time, have fewer than 100,000 subscribers, and produce engaging content on a regular basis.

This weekend enjoy #Lazypalooza, aka Lollapalooza, live from your couch
You don’t need to be in Chicago to know that this weekend’s live stream of Lollapalooza on YouTube is kind of a big deal. Starting Friday at 2:30 p.m. CST, you can catch the streaming sets from 20+ artists live from Grant Park in your living room.
From Friday’s kickoff with Icona Pop (we love it), to Nine Inch Nails’ first U.S. performance since 2009, to Steve Aoki and The Cure closing out the weekend on Sunday, it’s all on YouTube.
Based on search trends, “lollapalooza live” is already the top related search terms to Lolla, which shows that you expect to see a music event like this live on YouTube. And the fastest rising search is for “arctic monkeys lollapalooza,” which means they must have really left an impression on you in 2011.
Being lazy never sounded so good.

Thanks a bear-sized billion!
Occasionally we invite special guests to share their thoughts on the YouTube Blog. This week Super Simple Songs reached 1 billion channel views on YouTube, joining a select group of family educational channels who have achieved that honor. To celebrate that achievement, we’re pleased to bring you a special note from Mama Bear.
During my last hibernation I dreamt of berries, honey bees, and billions of views. And this week you’ve made my dreams come true! Super Simple Songs now has more than 1 billion channel views on YouTube.
Thank you to all of the parents, teachers and families who watch our videos. Some of my favorites include “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” and “Open Shut Them.”
To thank you for making our dreams come true, I want to share a song that helps me get Baby Bear to sleep, “Sweet Dreams (Goodnight Song).”
Mama Bear recently watched, “Mister Rogers Remixed | Garden of Your Mind | PBS Digital Studios.”
P.S. We can’t always find a way to watch YouTube in the forest, but when we can we use Safety Mode and read about tips in the Safety Center.

MathMeeting is “On The Rise” this month
Congratulations to Chris Seber of MathMeeting, our featured On The Rise partner this July. You’ll see his channel and videos in the spotlight on the On The Rise homepage and the YouTube Spotlight channel today.
School is out for many of us in July, but that doesn’t mean you can’t brush up on the basics. With just under 200 videos on his mathematics-focused channel, Chris may just be the man to help. He’s run this YouTube channel since December 2010, posting tutorials to help mathematicians at every level expand their skill set. Whether you want a refresher on how to multiply fractions or factor trinomials, Chris has videos that can walk you through each step. He might even be able to help you solve that Rubik’s cube you’ve been working on. Math students and teachers alike will appreciate the clear visuals and steady pace that Chris has developed in these videos.
Here are a few words directly from Chris:
My passion is to help as many students AND teachers as possible in the subject of mathematics. I do this by making free videos here on YouTube ranging from basic level math through upper level calculus. I do not expect everybody to fall in love with mathematics, but I wholeheartedly believe that everybody enjoys learning when it is taught in a simple, easy-to-follow manner. My simple approach to teaching has received such positive, uplifting reactions from my audience. Your comments and votes have helped me become featured as an “On The Rise” featured partner for the month of July. This is such a humbling achievement that I am most proud of. I will continue making videos to assist you in your mathematical struggles for as long as possible. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
