Chris Shiflett Plots His UK & Ireland Return

New York-based artist Blums has unveiled details of her long-awaited debut album, Sunk Cost Fantasy, a deeply personal and sonically adventurous collection that captures nearly a decade of creative exploration, self-discovery and artistic reinvention.

Opening for Sofia Isella at London’s Roundhouse, Seb Lowe wastes no time making an impression. Walking onto the stage armed with only an acoustic guitar and accompanied by violinist and backing vocalist Kate Couriel, the Sheffield singer-songwriter delivers a powerful 30-minute set that feels far bigger than its stripped-back format suggests.

New York post-punk icons Interpol have announced their long-awaited seventh studio album, This Mirror Weighs A Ton, set for release on 28th August via Partisan Records. Marking their first full-length release in four years and their debut for the influential independent label, the album arrives alongside two striking new tracks, the atmospheric title song and the driving See Out Loud.

Duran Duran’s return to London’s BST Hyde Park just got even bigger, with organisers unveiling the full supporting line-up for the iconic British band’s headline performance on Sunday 5th July 2026.

Sofia Isella arrives at the Roundhouse like a storm she can barely contain. Emerging from the shadows, backed by ominous electronic textures and silhouettes, she immediately cuts a striking figure. She paces furiously across the stage, hair hanging over her face, constantly tugging at her oversized clothes as though caught between wanting to tear them off and feeling trapped inside them. Her fingers are haphazardly bound with elastic bands, while her face and arms are purposely dirtied. It’s uncomfortable, theatrical and utterly compelling. 

Rising singer-songwriter Jamie Grey continues his impressive ascent with the release of his heartfelt new single, Feather, a track that balances infectious summer-ready melodies with deeply personal reflections on life’s uncertainties.

Three-time GRAMMY® Award-winning visionary Fantastic Negrito has unveiled his latest single, How Long?, a stirring live recording taken from his forthcoming live album Fantastic Negrito Alive!, set for release on 17th July via Storefront Records.

Country music powerhouse Lainey Wilson continues her remarkable run of success with the release of her brand-new single Phone, Keys, Wallet, a heartfelt and spirited collaboration featuring acclaimed guitarist and singer-songwriter John Mayer.
