Glastonbury Festival 2024 Drop Theatre & Circus And Kidzfield Lineups

Fresh from making her BST Hyde Park debut alongside Garth Brooks, Zac Brown Band and Ashley McBryde, Alexandra Kay is firmly establishing herself as one of country music’s fastest-rising stars. With her sophomore album Second Wind now out and a growing international audience behind her, the Illinois singer-songwriter continues to prove that persistence can be every bit as powerful as overnight success.

Nearly three decades after Garth Brooks last performed in the UK, Hyde Park welcomes him back in spectacular fashion. Demand is so overwhelming that BST expands the event’s capacity, creating the biggest concert the park has ever hosted, with Brooks becoming the first artist to perform to almost 70,000 fans at the festival. It is a fitting stage for one of country music’s biggest stars, whose long-awaited return has been building for years and whose audience is more than ready to welcome him back.

Muse have never been a band to think small. From dystopian concept records and politically charged anthems to symphonic rock epics and stadium-sized spectacles, the Devon trio have spent more than two decades redefining what modern rock can sound like. Now, with the release of their tenth studio album, The Wow! Signal, Matt Bellamy, Chris Wolstenholme and Dominic Howard once again prove they’re unafraid to venture into uncharted territory.

After more than a decade away from solo releases, Brandon Flowers has announced his long-awaited return with THRASHER, his third solo album and first since 2015’s The Desired Effect. The record arrives on 21 August 2026 via Island Records, with its lead single, Plans, available now.

I’ve been attending Download Festival since 2005. Every year, as I walk through those gates, I feel something that can be difficult to explain to people who have never experienced it. For a few days each June, I stop feeling like I’m standing on the outside looking in. I belong.

Rising electro-pop artist SOPHIE GREY. has unveiled her shimmering new single Lunar Highs (Hands Go Up), a euphoric slice of synth-driven pop arriving just ahead of June’s Strawberry Moon and setting the tone for a busy summer of high-profile live performances.

Country music favourites Little Big Town have unveiled their latest single, Sucker For A Sad Song, a heartfelt collaboration with acclaimed singer-songwriter Ashley Monroe, offering another enticing preview of their forthcoming album It’s A Dying Art, due for release on 28th August.

Fresh from an acclaimed appearance at the Isle of Wight Festival, Lucia & The Best Boys arrive at London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire with momentum firmly on their side. Opening for the reunited 4 Non Blondes, the Glasgow quartet seize the opportunity with a commanding seven-song set that feels less like a support slot and more like a statement of intent.
