This is not the first time Katy B and Jessie Ware have shared the stage. The two British singers united at BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend in May 2013 to perform a collaboration from an EP which Katy B released in December 2012. Nowadays, Ware is currently doing promotions for her sixth album ‘Superbloom’ due to be released in April, whilst Katy B has not released any music since the single ‘Paradise’ in March 2023. Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Billy Bragg also took to the stage. Bragg who is renowned for his politically charged lyricism took to Instagram earlier in the week to encourage fans of his to join him in supporting the cause. He inspired all attending to march together “to show our neighbours that we’ve got their backs” and urged fans to join him to “make unity visible”. This eclectic range of performers was a  reflection of London and the UK as a whole – a multicultural, diverse and all-compassing collection of communities.

The march began in Park Lane where it then followed a route which finally made its way to Trafalgalar Square. Aside from speeches and performances, crowd chants of “say it loud, say it clear, refugees are welcome here” helped to underpin one of the central themes which inspired the march. It is estimated that over a hundred charities as well as nearly fifty civil society organisations showed their support. Other celebrities who are also known to be proudly supporting the cause include Sir Lenny Henry, Paloma Faith, The Fontaines, James Acaster and Steve Coogan. Elsewhere, Green Party leader Zach Polanski and Labour MP Diane Abbott seemed to come together on a shared issue to galvanise the crowd to continue fighting for inclusion and community. In a speech to the crowd, Polanski declared “We will defeat hate. It’s time to make hope normal again.”

Set to take place at the National Bowl in Milton Keynes, Diaspora Calling! is Hill’s only scheduled performance for 2026 so far. Fans of The Fugees in particular will revel in the fact that the upcoming festival will see Hill and Jean on stage together for the first time since their appearance at the Global Citizen Festival in New York in September 2023. Fans of Hill in particular have been waiting for a performance from the eight time Grammy winner since April 2024 where she performed at Coachella alongside YG Marley.

The inaugrual Diaspora Calling festival took place in Brooklyn, New York in April 2016. Ten years later, the cultural celebration will make its way over to England. Currently, there is only one date available, however the initial execution of the idea spanned over a three day festival. It included performances from Stephen Marley as well as African drumming and dancing, before Hill took to the stage. Described as a woman on fire, Hill performed an acoustic set as well as covers and renditions of the infamous ‘The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill’ which was released in August 1998. Infamous for its longevity, honestly and cultural relevance, Hill’s debut album propelled her into superstardom. The album debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, going on to break the record for most nominations (10) and wins (5) at the Grammy Awards in 1999.

Moving away from the festival template, Diaspora Calling! later pivoted to a tour format. During its run between 2016 and 2017, it helped to platform artists such as Noname, Little Simz and Kehlani aswell as including appearances from rapper Nas. Fans attending the UK edition of the festival will be expectantly waiting for the next release of guests.

Tickets will be released on Tuesday March 31st and fans can sign up now to join a waiting list.

Now made up of Brandon Flowers, Dave Keuning, Ronnie Vannuci Jr and Mark Stoeremer, the Killers were formed in Las Vegas in 2001. Considered one of the biggest rock bands of the 21st century, the Killers have been nominated for seven Grammy Awards, seven Brit Awards and a staggering twenty-four NME Awards. Their popularity extends greatly to the UK where each of their seven albums have reached number one on the UK Albums Chart. Their performance at the Champions League Final could contribute greatly to a night to remember for British fans as the final could still be made up of two English teams with Liverpool and Arsenal remaining in the competition. They head into the quarterfinals against Paris Saint-Germain and Sporting Lisbon respectively in April.

Musical performances at the Champions League final are a relatively new development for the competition which was originally founded in 1955. However after drawing from inspiration from the infamous NFL Superbowl Halftime shows, the first performance at the Champions League Final was by Dua Lipa in 2018. There was a brief gap between performances before Camila Cabello performed in 2022, followed by Lenny Kravitz in 2024 and Linkin Park in 2025.

American influences on European and English football has increased tenfold perhaps owing to actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenny’s well documented journey as they bought then, national league team Wrexham. Following huge investment and media interest, Wrexham have now reached the Championship and are on course to play in the Premier League sooner rather than later. Furthermore, football based sitcom ‘Ted Lasso’ which follows an American coach in the UK has received mass critical acclaim and the US President Donald Trump was a guest of honour at the recent Club World Cup competition which was won by English club Chelsea.

The band are currently on a run of shows in South America with tickets available now before they head to Budapest for the final.

Fans can also expect the release of the eight studio album following confirmation from lead vocalist Flowers who told the Sun; “My best guess is that in 2027 you will get the best Killers record”.

Following a five year hiatus, in a statement which Duffy posted to her website in February 2020, she opened the curtain for fans who had long since awaited her return. She detailed a harrowing experience in which she was “raped and drugged and held captive over some days”. Further explaining her absence, she told fans “The recovery took time” but “trust me I am OK and safe now”.

This is not the first time that Disney+ has forayed into documentaries. Featured on the subscription service, fans of all types of artists are able to see well made and produced retellings/behind the scenes introspectives of some of the world’s biggest stars. Musical documentaries on Disney+ include ‘The Beatles: Get Back’, ‘Music by John Williams’ and arguably most popularly the concert film of ‘Taylor Swift, The Era’s Tour (Taylor’s Version’). Fans of Duffy will hope that her documentary will handle the subject material respectfully and delicately while allowing for an honest and raw retelling of events in connection with Sean Doyle, Disney+ Vice President assurance that “This film will give Duffy the chance to tell her story in her own words.”

Born Aimée Anne Duffy, the Welsh singer signed with A&M records in November 2007. Duffy’s debut album ’Rockferry’ was released in March 2008 and subsequently became the UK’s best selling album of the year. It’s most popular single ‘Mercy’ paired with Duffy’s raw and soulful vocal propelled the album to a Grammy Award in 2009, three Brit awards as well as three MOJO award nominations. Her second album ‘Endlessly’ was released in November 2010. Over the years which followed, Duffy cancelled festival and tour performances before featuring in the 2015 crime thriller ‘Legend’ to which she provided three songs for the soundtrack. In the years that followed, Duffy vanished from the public eye for the aforementioned reasons.

Disney+ have not yet released a date for Duffy’s documentary but fans can expect a “really powerful project” according to Disney+’s head of content Angela Jain.

The tour will begin unofficially in Cork and Dublin in June where the band will play two shows. But fans across the world who also want to catch the band on their last set of performances will be glad to see that the 29 date tour stretches across the world. The band will start the tour in Singapore in August before continuing on in Asia before visiting Australia. They will then take a two month break before starting the UK and European leg including a whopping seven dates in Germany before finishing in Manchester on December 12.

Don Broco will continue the tour in the UK in September starting in Lincoln, before finishing in Bristol in October.

Elsewhere, German fans are equally excited as on the promotional poster for the tour, the date in Cologne on June 24th has been singled out as a day to remember.
