Billie Eilish Announces Massive World Tour

These Wicked Rivers have released an acoustic version of their latest single, Rise, offering a fresh take on one of the key tracks from their recently released third album, Fire And Folklore. The Derbyshire rockers, who topped the UK Rock Album Chart with the record, are preparing to hit the road for an extensive run of UK headline dates, beginning in Newcastle on 19th November.

Ryan Adams has announced the release of his new album, Animal, a ten-track collection arriving on 12th February 2027 through his own PAX-AM label. The announcement, made on his 52nd birthday, comes alongside the release of lead single Amethyst, offering the first taste of a record that finds the acclaimed singer-songwriter embracing a largely solo creative approach.

Harun Tekin, lead vocalist of Turkey’s biggest alternative rock band mor ve ötesi, has released his debut solo EP, A Dictionary Of Night. The six-track collection sees the singer step into a more intimate musical space, reinterpreting songs by The Beatles, Kate Bush and Elton John, alongside three selections from the Turkish musical canon.

Royal Blood have released Mother Never Told You, the fourth and final single to be unveiled ahead of their highly anticipated new album, Dead Company, which arrives this Friday via Warner Records.

Canadian rock icon Bif Naked is stepping onto the dancefloor with Hey Little Frankie, a bold new single that sees her trade punk-rock guitars for high-voltage electro house. Produced by Jason Darr, the track marks a striking change of direction, driven by a pounding 130 BPM bassline and aggressive synths designed for peak-time club sets.

It has been 39 years since Twenty Flight Rockers last played in London, but the wait is finally over. Persuaded that the time is right for a reunion, the band have returned for a short run of shows celebrating the release of Live ’85, the live album originally intended to be their debut release. For those of us who remember seeing them in their heyday, this is a chance to revisit a band whose rockabilly-fuelled energy has clearly lost none of its appeal. I can hardly believe it has been almost four decades since I last saw them perform.

RAYE is set to make her BST Hyde Park debut next summer, joining the 2027 line-up as its second headliner. The South London-born singer-songwriter will take to the Great Oak Stage on Saturday 10th July, with rising star Sienna Spiro confirmed as a very special guest. Further artists are still to be announced.

Ever since first attending Mutations in 2022, I have described it as a more manageable, densely packed version of The Great Escape. Since the festival condensed into two days, that description has become even more apt. Spanning multiple genres and a good selection of the city’s venues, it is a no-brainer for local live music fans looking to broaden their horizons and discover their next favourite band.
