				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Beloved wunderkind, Billie Eilish made her overdue return to London in the form of a blue-carpet premier for her latest instalment of successes, ‘Billie Eilish, Hit Me Hard and Soft the Tour.’ The new creative venture is in the form of a 3D film directed by award winning film director James Cameron.</p>
<p>The Oscar and grammy award winning singer songwriter took Leicester Square by storm on Tuesday April 28 to celebrate her new tour film. The premier was held in the famed Odeon Luxe in London, the event celebrates the next chapter in Eilish’s exciting stardom journey.</p>
<p>Eilish took the carpet sporting a loose tailored shirt and greeted hundreds of fans waiting outside despite the event being invite only. Taking time to great those that waited patiently it’s evident that Eilish has one of the most dedicated fan bases out there. The premier alone drew such a big crowd that it is no doubt the film itself will be an incredible success.</p>
<p>The film itself arrives in cinemas globally on May 8 and all footage took place during her mammoth world tour, notably with most of the footage taken during her incredible Manchester shows. The project is set to blend tour footage with intimate behind the scenes moments displaying Eilish’s charismatic personality both on and off the stage. With Cameron as a director and Eilish as the star of the show this is set to be an endeavour beloved by film and music fans everywhere.</p>

<p>Documenting the Hit Me Hard And Soft tour that Eilish embarked on was a beautiful decision as the tour meant so much to every single fan that attended. Countless individuals queued, made friends and danced the night away at each and every show. The album itself, ‘<em>Hit Me Hard And Soft</em>’ is Eilish’s most notorious project in modernity due to to her tack, ‘Birds Of A Feather’ accumulating over 3 billion streams and rising each day. This project is a love letter to the fans as they can replay their favourite memories on the big screen.</p>
<p>The tour itself sold out worldwide and further established Eilish’s role as one of the most influential performers currently. The tour itself ran from September of 2024 all the way till November of 2025 with support from Magdalena Bay, Men I Trust, Lola Young, Tom Odell and many other talented openers. The tour received praising reviews from critics and fans alike and even broke the long standing single attendance record in Sydney. This was previously set by Justin Timberlake 18 years prior as he previously held the mark of 20,809 attendees. Eilish blew this out the park with a staggering 21,001 attendees surpassing the previous record.</p>
<p>The setlist consisted of songs primarily from, ‘Hit Me Hard and Soft’ with sprinkles of ballads from other albums lovingly placed in. With a differing setlist each night every show felt fresh and organic.</p>
<p>Eilish has made it abundantly clear that the fans are a crucial part of this journey. The film is guaranteed to be an eye watering success. <a href="http://https://www.myvue.com/film/billie-eilish---hit-me-hard-and-soft-the-tour-live-in-3d">Get tickets to see ‘Hit Me Hard And Soft The Tour</a>’ now.</p>

<p>In support of this exciting music venture the group have shared the news of a nationwide headline tour. Before their headlining tour they will also make numerous festival appearances. Despite the group touring in 2025, these news shows are likely to sell out, Courteeners notoriously put on an incredible show, this is definitely one not to miss. Here’s everywhere you can catch Courteeners this year:</p>
<p>&#8211; July 23, Stoke on Trent, Victoria Hall</p>
<p>-July 24-26, Sheffield, Tramlines Festival</p>
<p>-August 27, Leicester, O2 Academy</p>
<p>-August 29, Manchester, Wythenshawe Park</p>
<p>-November 6, Leeds, First Direct Arena</p>
<p>-November 7, Cardiff, Utilia Arena</p>
<p>-November 13, Liverpool, M&amp;S Bank Arena</p>
<p>-November 14, London, Alexandra Palace</p>
<p>-November 20, Glasgow, OVO Hydro</p>
<p>-November 21, Birmingham, AXS EventsBirmingham</p>
<p>Incredibly for their November 2026 run of shows, Courteeners are donating £1 (+VAT) from every ticket sold to the LIVE Trust, which is all the more reason to attend. The LIVE Trust is a new indicative dedicated to providing financial support to the grassroots music ecosystem. Under this wide umbrella are venues, artists, festivals and promoters. It’s no shock the band are choosing to support the LIVE Trust, as it’s a cause close to their heart. Courteeners loudly support grassroots venues, notably Manchester’s Night &amp; Day.</p>
<p>As for grabbing your own tickets fans who pre order the new album from the <a href="http://https://thecourteeners.tmstor.es/">groups official store </a>before 5pm BST on Tuesday, April 14 will receive a presale code.

<p>The adorable interaction left countless fans stunned as no one could have predicted their favourite podcast host to prance around the stage set with Williams. Videos displaying the duo taking the stage rapidly began circulating on social media platforms, Instagram and TikTok. This instance is further accelerating excitement throughout fans for the remaining tour dates.</p>
<p>Not only was Williams joined by Hearon but critically acclaimed American rapper Tierra Whack. The pair whimsically took the stage and were later spotted dropping into Sweet 45, a beloved Philadelphia ice cream shop. The pair alongside close friends danced the evening away whilst simultaneously enjoying their ice creams.</p>
<p>‘<em>Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party’</em> is Williams’ third studio album and it has simply taken the world by storm. Released in August of 2025, the record has birthed an entire new generation of Williams fans alongside the already existing dedicated fanbase. The 2025 record received significant critical acclaim accumulating four nominations for th 2026 Grammy Awards and four nominations at the 2026 Libera Awards. Due to its independent release the record marked a major milestone in Williams’ musical career and displays her unique depth as a lyricist.</p>
<p>Williams announced her worldwide tour in the November of 2025 following a cryptic number of teasers on her website earlier in the month. The tour dubbed “Good Dye young Presents: Hayley Williams At A Bachelorette Party” completely sold out all 43 of its dates in the US, UK and Europe within minutes. Countless fans critiqued the artists’ inability to recognise her on stardom as she seemingly booked rather small venues.</p>
<p>The appearance of both Hearon and Whack on the tour haven’t been the only celebrity sightings than fans have sat back and enjoyed. In Atlanta, Williams was joined by Josh Scogin of Norma Jean, The Chariot and ’68 Fame. Scogin joined Williams for a display that spoke volumes regarding Williams’ musical journey. At the Toronto stop of her tour, Williams was joined by Dallas Green of Alexisonfire.</p>
<p>Similarly to Hearon, Green joined Williams during the electrifying conclusion of ‘Parachute.’ The pair performed a raw rendition of the song displaying how deep the bond goes between the musicians.</p>
<p>Williams is set to hit the UK this June for her first ever solo shows the lineup up consists of</p>

<p>The mammoth headline tour run will see the New York based artist hitting 31 cities covering North America, the UK and Europe. As for UK shows, Wolf is performing in Glasgow, Leeds, Birmingham, Manchester, and London.</p>
<p>Wolf has curated an online empire due to her independently released music gaining traction on the social media platform TikTok. Her gut-wrenching track, ‘In My Room’ accumulated millions of views on countless short form videos posted to the platform. This song showcased her musical ability from the get-go, displaying her skills as not only a vocalist but also as an incredible lyricist. Wolf’s individual blend of indie and dark pop influences has fans drawing comparison to artists in the likes of Billie Eilish and Lana Del Ray. Upon further listening it’s clear that Wolf is an artist that deserves every ounce of her fame.</p>
<p>The touring announcement comes at a crucial time in Wolf’s career in which her monthly listeners are rising each day, and her dedicated online following is steadily growing. This tour stands for a celebration of Wolf’s growth alongside solidifying her stage presence. For many big time Wolf fans this is their first chance to see the artist live, something that they have been anticipating since the release of her 2025 album ‘<em>PRESSURE.’</em></p>
<p>Last year, Wolf made her Billboard Hot 100 debut due to her appearance on Drake’s single “DOG HOUSE” and most recently appeared as a guest on rapper Yeat’s single “My way”</p>
<p>Wolf broke the news on her social media sharing her excitement about connecting with her dedicated fans in person. Not facing the journey alone, Wolf is set to be joined by special guest Bee Blackwell for the North American leg whilst Wolf’s producer Scro will open the UK and European dates.</p>
<p>Alongside the exciting news, Wolf lovingly shared with fans her joy regarding the announcement, “I’m so excited to finally be able to come back to North America, the UK, and Europe to do my own headline tour! I can’t wait to have a room full of people singing my songs and to play some new ones for everyone as well!”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Tickets for this tour are expected to sell out quickly, so make sure not to hesitate in grabbing yours. Ticket pre-sales for the ‘Deep End World Tour’ will begin on April 8 at 10am local time and all remaining tickets are set to hit the market on April 10 10am local time. <a href="http://https://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/julia-wolf-tickets/artist/5358660">You can access them via Ticketmaster here, don’t miss out.</a></p>

<p>The headlining spot goes to London-based band Keo. The bands reputation has grown immensely in the past year thanks to their explosive live shows and loyal fanbase. The group are currently <a href="http://https://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/keo-tickets/artist/5462498">on a UK tour</a> and set to play a sold out London show this Thursday March 12. The exciting band carefully knits together shoegaze and alternative rock, often noting their influences lie in the hands of Jeff Buckley, The Smashing pumpkins and Radiohead.</p>
<p>Joining Keo on the lineup is indie group Florence Road, an Irish rock band formed in Bray in 2019. Gaining traction on TikTok in 2025 following the release of their single ‘Heavy’.” After supporting Olivia Rodrigo on selected dates of her Guts World Tour, Florence Road is now set to embark on their own highly anticipated UK tour in <a href="http://https://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/florence-road-tickets/artist/5495649">May of 2026.</a></p>

Further up and coming acts announced includee Abbie Piper, Amiify, August, Florentenes, Jos Rivers, My First Time, Tooth and many more!</p>

The festivals previous years have seen early performances from non established names in the music scene including Sam Fender, YUNGBLUD, Declan Mckenna, Mabel and Holly Humberstone.</p>
<p>By spreading performances across multiple venues within walking distance, the event captures the feel of Manchesters grassroots scene whilst simultaneously giving attendees the opportunity to dance around and see a wide variety of acts in one day.</p>
<p>This year&#8217;s edition is set to continue the festivals tradition of nabbing up and coming talent before they dominate the UK music landscape. With Keo’s rapid rise and a lineup riddled with promising newcomers this is an event not to miss.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Heightening the excitement shared by patient super fans and avid concert goers, British DJ and producer Fred Again… debuted a new snippet of an unheard Harry Styles track, ‘Coming Up Roses.’</p>
<p>Styles’ garden fresh fourth solo record, ‘<em>Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally’</em> is set to arrive on March 6, 2026. In preparation Styles released his first single in 4 years, ‘Aperture.’ The new track is riddled with electronic dance music influences; Styles seems to be distancing himself from his earlier indie-pop roots, definitely working in his favour, fans and casual listeners alike cannot get enough of the new track. Unsurprisingly the new single performed astronomically well, shooting up to the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100, only continuing to gain traction after 4 weeks on the chart. It is clear that big time Styles fans were desperate for something new to chew on.</p>
<p>Beloved DJ, Fred Again… played an expectedly captivating set in London’s Alexandra Palace on February 26. Despite being an artist that continuously has tricks up his sleeve, always guaranteed to wow fans, his 90 second teasing of Styles’ new song to a crowded room of ravers was something that nobody saw coming.</p>
<p><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/CBDBjXLus9Y?si=376ANx7LzNx_wyTp" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>Countless fans have shared short clips of the release online, the song appears to be a string arrangement ballad, layered with vocals of Styles singing; “We sleep half the night with your head on my chest, me and you/There’s only me and you.”</p>
<p>In addition to elevating Styles’ new track, Fred Again… recently released his own new album, ‘<em>USB002</em>.’ The celebrated new record saw the DJ debuting 10 new tracks throughout his European and North American tour. Excitement reigned highly among audiences and additionally receiving an unheard Styles snippet is bound to have been pure magic. Truly a show to remember.</p>
<p>It’s meticulously planned that the song would rightfully be premiered during a dance event, given the album’s orientation and title. The intimate act of Styles placing the distribution within the hands of the British producer is leaving fans to speculate wether Fred Again… himself worked on the track. Despite this, there currently is no inclination that he did.</p>
<p>Anticipating the new record, Styles arranged worldwide listening parties earlier this month. Fans in attendance having experienced the new record in all its glory have confirmed the new mystery track is titled, ‘Coming Up Roses.’</p>
<p>Styles’ new record will belong to fans before we know it. Produced by Kid Harpon, electronically influenced, notably by legends LCD Soundsystem, this new album is guaranteed to shock old audiences and reel some new ones in.</p>
<p>In support of this exciting venture Styles announced a tour to go hand in hand with his new release, unfortunately the vast majority of the tickets have largely sold out, notably within minutes. This includes the 12-show run at Wembley Stadium, despite this there is still possible hope from official resellers so keep your eyes peeled.</p>
<p>We cannot wait to hear exactly what Styles has been chipping away on behind the scenes. Make sure to listen to Styles’ new record, ‘<a href="http://https://open.spotify.com/track/45Z3m6yazmAi4jZuW0tzW0?si=fi5rvRSgR3Gv6V45Bvid-Q"><em>Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally</em>’</a> on March 6, 2026.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Spanish superstar Rosalîa Tobella, best known as, Rosalîa brought her atypical fourth studio record. ‘<em>LUX</em>’ to the stage at the BRIT Awards on Saturday. Making for an original breathtaking display of talent. The orchestrated performance set the stage for Björk’s incredible return, making for the Icelandic singer-songwriters first performance in 3 years.</p>
<p>Rosalîa delivered a dramatic performance of her show-stopping single, ‘Berghain’ to a packed CO-OP Live Arena, this performance marks the very first time the song has been performed live, notably by both collaborators, it has undoubtedly set the standards high for future performances. A celebration of international artists in of itself, the performance is guaranteed to move anyone who watches it, if you haven’t watched it already its well worth your time.</p>
<p><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7fyufPkXLbs?si=OIOBkE31thuDNc_s" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>Taking the breath of each attendee, Rosalîa was donned in a magnificent white dress singing alongside a supporting background of singers. The first half of the song highlighted the vocal abilities of the spanish singer-songwriter, homing in on the operatic elements of the song. The crowded stage of singers parted to reveal Bjork in cathartic blue attire, performing her section of ‘Berghain’ in the latter part of the song. Finalising the magnificent performance the crew of signers and dancers erupted into movement alongside both female vocalists displaying a pure celebration of joy and an international win.</p>

<p>The performance came in support of Rosalîa’s latest body of work, ‘<em>LUX</em>.’ The record released on November 7, 2025, featuring the London Symphony Orchestra blends pop with wondrous classical elements, exploring heavy themes of transformation and spirituality. The record features generationally beautiful collaborations from Bjork, Pharrell Wlliams, Estelle Morenta and Caroline Shaw. Littered with songs inspired by a variety of female saints and Rosalîa’s own relationship with God, it is an incredible deep dive into the psyche of said artist.  The lead single, ‘Berghain’ received unanimous acclaim from multiple music critics citing its ambition and aromas use of orchestral sound. ‘Lux’ later became the second best-reviewed album of 2025 on Metacritic as well as being the website eighteenth best album of all time despite its recent release.</p>
<p>Winning her first BRIT award for international artist, Rosalia made history as the first spanish speaking act to take the award home. A presence of royalty in a room full of artists, there is not doubt we will be receiving more incredible bodies of work from Rosalîa in the near future.</p>
<p>Throughout the night, the BRITS also saw performances from Harry Styles, Olivia Dean, Alex Warren, Sombr and Mark Ronson. Rosalîa has far more tricks up of her sleeve in the wake of her worldwide fourth tour.</p>
<p>In support of ‘<em>LUX</em>,’ Rosalia announced she would embark on an arena world tour beginning in March of this year and finalising in September. 42 shows are currently scheduled across seventeen countries in Europe, North America and South America so make sure you catch her at one of the dates if you liked what you saw on display at the BRITS. Rosalîa is a spell bounding example of why it&#8217;s so important to highlight international voices not only in the BRITS but in the music scene all together.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Canadian heavy metal band, Spiritbox have announced a huge UK arena tour for 2026. The line up of shows is set to be the bands biggest UK run to date.</p>
<p>Originating from Victoria, British Columbia, Spiritbox was founded by guitarist Mike Stringer and vocalist Courtney Laplante in 2017. The bands style is predominantly rooted in metal-core and progressive metal, but this is the understatement of the century as it is quite difficult to put them in a box. Laplante’s otherworldly vocals can switch between shrieks of terror into melodic RnB influenced sounds. With this genre blending range and an artistic success story, Spiritbox have accumulated a rowdy group of dedicated fans across the globe. The bands full lineup consists of married couple LaPlante and Stringer, alongside drummer Zev Rose and bassist Josh Gilbert.</p>
<p>Both Laplante and Stringer were members of the band Iwrestledabearonce, before concluding they were unhappy with their roles in the group. Upon founding Spiritbox, the pair found a greater joy in their newfound artistic freedom. Stringer is often noted for his technical abilities, utilising a 7-string guitar to morph a distinct, heavy sound into his music.</p>
<p>The group released a self titled debut EP, in 2017 followed closely by their second EP, ‘<em>Singles Collection’ </em>in 2019.Their rapid rise as of a premier modern metal band was driven by the success of the bands 2021 record ‘<em>Eternal Blue’.</em> Spiritbox strategically released consistent singles throughout 2020, keeping fans company during the COVID-19 pandemic, this resulted in them dominating a wide range of internet spaces. Primarily building their loyal fanbase online via promotional videos, Spiritbox did not embark on their first tour as band until 2020. Their success rapidly gained momentum with several singles reaching the Billboard Charts.</p>
<p>Now in 2026, the superstars are bringing the Tsunami Sea Tour to the UK this autumn, with support from Jinjer and Dying Wish. The exciting ordeal takes flight on September 12 in SECC Hall 3, Glasgow and concludes on September 19 in the OVO Arena Wembley, London. The full list of UK dates is as follows:</p>
<p>&#8211;              September 12, SEC HALL 3, Glasgow</p>
<p>&#8211;              September 14, Motorpoint Arena Nottingham, Nottingham</p>
<p>&#8211;              September 16, Co-Op LIVE, Manchester</p>
<p>&#8211;              September 17, Utilia Arena, Cardiff</p>
<p>&#8211;             Septemebr 19, OVO Arena Wembley, London</p>
<p>The five-arena run announcement has come in the wake of Spiritbox’s performance at the Grammys in which they were nominated for Best Metal Performance. Whilst they did not win this time round, losing to hardcore band Turnstile, the group still went on to deliver a beautiful, critically acclaimed performance of their track ‘soft spine.’</p>
<p>The shows follow the bands latest release titled ‘<em>Tsunami Sea’,</em> which was gifted to fans in March of 2025. An incredibly exciting opportunity for Spiritbox fans over this side of the pond, the groups last headline show was on the evening before the release of their sophomore record in February of 2025 in which they headlined Alexandra Palace.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>English punk rock band, The Sex Pistols, featuring Frank Carter, are celebrating 50 years of punk with a line up of exciting gigs this winter. The brand-new tour spans across the UK and Ireland this December 2026. The tour is officially titled, <em>The Anarchy In The UK Tour</em>. Its very goal is to celebrate the impact that punk music, specifically The Sex Pistols themselves had on the UK music and alternative scene. The shows are set to follow in the footsteps of the bands earlier 2026 summer gigs that also feature Carter, finalising an insane run of headline shows. The confirmed new tour dates are as follows:</p>
<p>&#8211; December 7 &#8211; 3Arena, Dublin, Ireland</p>
<p>&#8211; December 9 &#8211; Corn Exchange, Edinburgh, Scotland</p>
<p>&#8211; December 10 &#8211; O2 Academy, Glasgow, Scotland</p>
<p>&#8211; December 18 &#8211; O2 Academy Brixton, London</p>
<p>-December 20 &#8211; Eventim Apollo, London</p>
<p>Formed in 1975, the beloved, British band are well known for their controversial lyrics, anti-establishment stance, and all-round rebellion. The bands debut album, ‘<em>Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols’</em> is globally regarded as one of the most influential punk albums of all time. Despite the bands initial short lifespan of just two and a half years, they have forever left their mark on the punk rock genre. In modernity, fans are overjoyed to see them back on stage blasting their best classics with an altered vocalist.</p>
<p>Not only were The Sex Pistols known for their cutting-edge way with words they directly impacted the punk scene with their choice of clothing and hairstyles. Their outfit choices and political standpoints were quickly adopted by fans everywhere.</p>
<p>The group made their grand return in 2024 with a fresh vocalist and a new lease of life. Alongside the December dates the band are set to play the following shows this summer:</p>
<p>&#8211; July 11 &#8211; The Piece Hall, Halifax Live, Yorkshire</p>
<p>&#8211; July 12 &#8211; Castlefield Bowl, Manchester</p>
<p>&#8211; August 1 &#8211; Castle Depot Live, Cardiff</p>
<p>August 2 &#8211; Open Air Theatre, Scarborough</p>
<p>The tour lineup is set to feature original members, guitarist, Steve Jones, drummer Paul Cook and bassist Glen Matlock. Joining the original band members is Frank Carter, known for his roles playing in the bands, Gallows and Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes. Carter is stepping in as lead vocalist for this run of shows filling in the role from earlier vocalist John Lyndon, famously known as Johnny Rotten who has since publicly stated he will not be returning to the band.</p>
<p>This mixture of original members and Carter has heightened interest for the shows, specifically since Carter is known for his own high-energy punk performances that fit well within The Sex Pistols’ ethos.</p>
<p>This tour announcement represents one of the most significant punk anniversaries, The Sex Pistols helped pave the way for countless other artists of the same genre to preach the very same message. We cannot wait to see the band that helped launch an entire scene take to the stage once more.</p>
<p>Tickets for the celebratory spectacular go on general sale from 9am Friday, February 27.</p>
