The Londoners headed into the studio earlier this year with GRAMMY®-winning producer Markus Dravs (Wolf Alice, Florence + The Machine, Björk) to record the follow-up to their chart-topping debut Prelude To Ecstasy. Where that record introduced them as one of Britain’s most exciting new bands, From The Pyre promises to be darker, more raw, and more expansive.

“The Pyre itself is an allegorical place in which these tales originate,” the band explain. “It’s a place of violence and destruction but also regeneration, passion and light… this record feels a little darker, more raw and more earthy; it takes place looking out at a sublime landscape rather than seated at an opulent table.”

Lead single This Is The Killer Speaking has already hinted at this new direction, pairing mythic imagery with the band’s knack for soaring, theatrical indie rock. Check it out below:

With two BRIT Awards already under their belt—including Breakthrough Artist earlier this year—and a reputation for selling out shows across the globe (including three nights at London’s Eventim Apollo), The Last Dinner Party’s ascent has been nothing short of meteoric. Their arrival in 2023 was heralded as one of the most thrilling debuts in recent memory, and this new album-cycle looks set to push them even further.

Garbage @ Roundhouse (Kalpesh Patel)

Garbage Celebrate Three Decades Of Defiance At London’s Roundhouse

Thirty years into a career built on challenging convention, Garbage arrive at London’s Roundhouse looking anything but content to trade on nostalgia. Despite three decades of touring the capital, tonight marks the band’s first appearance at the iconic Camden venue, and from the moment Shirley Manson, Duke Erikson, Steve Marker, Butch Vig and touring bassist Nicole Fiorentino step onto the stage, they perform with the urgency of a band still determined to push forwards rather than look back.

Full Circle At O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire: Lifehouse Return To London In Intimate Acoustic Triumph

There are gigs that simply entertain, and then there are gigs that transport you. Lifehouse’s long-overdue return to London at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire is very much the latter. Eleven years since their last visit to the capital, Jason Wade and longtime guitarist Steve Stout strip everything back for the second of two London acoustic shows—following the previous evening’s performance at nearby Bush Hall—and in doing so remind a packed Shepherd’s Bush Empire exactly why these songs have endured for a quarter of a century.

Metallica Double Up For A No Repeat Weekend At London Stadium

It’s the first weekend in July and The Metal has taken over Westfield Stratford. Friday evening shoppers mingle with sweaty black clad rockers, because Metallica have brought their No Repeat Weekend M72 tour to this corner of East London. Now into it’s fourth year, the final weekend of this tour will see the metal giants play two completely different sets over Friday and Sunday night at London Stadium — an immense treat for the diehards, and introducing some deeper cuts for the casuals, providing something for everyone.

It was yet another warm, sunny London day, the start of the country’s next heatwave, as thousands descended on Hyde Park for the final day of the second BST Hyde Park weekend of 2026. There was another event looming over the evening too: England’s World Cup Round of 16 clash with Mexico, kicking off at the decidedly unsociable hour of 1am. Football could wait though. Sunday belonged to disco legends, glam-pop icons and one of Britain’s most enduring bands as Duran Duran headlined a day that effortlessly balanced nostalgia with timeless musicianship.
