				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="font-weight: 400;">Cara Delevingne has announced her first ever headline shows launching her music career. The English model and actress will be preforming in major cities over the summer including Berlin, Paris, Barcelona, Los Angeles, London and New York. One of her Barcelona shows includes preforming at Primavera Sound festival. The tour will begin in Europe on the 1<sup>st</sup> of June and end in North America on the 26<sup>th</sup> of June.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The British star rose to fame early in her childhood, modelling for Vogue Italia at the age of ten. Then in 2012 she shifted to acting with her first role as Princess Sorokina in the movie <em>Anna Karenina.</em> She has since continued to model and act, only occasionally singing as a part of wider projects.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Delevingne took to Instagram to post her tour dates and said &#8220;Excited to announce my first ever headline shows!!!! Been locked in at rehearsals I can’t wait to play these shows.&#8221; She also stated &#8220;Music. It’s forever been my biggest fear and my greatest love. I Forgot and Out of my Head are the first peek inside my stream of consciousness over the last few years. I cannot quite believe we are finally here.&#8221;</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Although an album hasn&#8217;t been released yet, Delevingne has shared teasers of her music confirming three new songs, being &#8216;I Forgot&#8217;, &#8216;Out of my Head&#8217;, and &#8216;CARA&#8217;. A snippet of ‘Out of my Head’ can be heard above on Delevingne’s Instagram, containing a series of obscure clips, potentially hinting at a future music video.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">While modelling and acting have been her main focus over the years, Delevingne has dabbled in music before. She previously sang ‘I Feel Everything’ for her 2017 movie <em>Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets</em>, which can be seen <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmV5MW_XAtg" target="_blank">here on YouTube</a>. As well as many other tracks, she also collaborated with her former partner St Vincent and featured on the song ‘Pills’. However, her singing hasn&#8217;t always been limited to features, as in 2024 she starred as Sally Bowles in &#8216;Cabaret&#8217; in the west end where she showed off her vocal skills.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">As of now an album name or release date is unclear, but her other songs can be listened to on Spotify and other streaming platforms. Presale for tickets will begin tomorrow on the 30<sup>th</sup> of April while general sale will begin on the 1<sup>st</sup> of May the following day. More details regarding her shows can be found <a href="https://www.caradelevingne.com" target="_blank">here on her website.</a></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="font-weight: 400;">Lykke Li or formally, Li Lykke Timotej Zachrisson, has announced a London headline show for the first time since 2022. She is due to perform on the 11<sup>th</sup> of June at Camden Town’s KOKO in support of her new album <em>‘The Afterparty’. </em>The Swedish singer will do a stretch of shows across Europe and return to the UK to open for Wolf Alice in Finsbury Park on the 5<sup>th</sup> of July.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>‘The Afterparty’ </em>releases on the 8<sup>th</sup> of May featuring 9 new songs which she debuted at Coachella. Li has already given fans an insight into her new project, having released ‘Lucky Again’, ‘Sick Of Love’, and ‘Knife In The Heart’ previously. The three available songs from her new album are available to stream on major platforms including Spotify and Apple Music. While Li has yet to release any music videos for <em>&#8216;The Afterparty&#8217;,</em> an acoustic rendition of &#8216;Lucky Again&#8217; can be seen on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ceeHfxMzFY" target="_blank">YouTube</a>. Before returning to Coachella, she can be seen singing on the street, captioning the video &#8220;on our way back to the desert x.&#8221;</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The album was co-produced with Björn Yttling, who has contributed to many of her other projects such as <em>‘EYEEYE’ </em>and <em>‘I Never Learn’. </em>This will be the singer-songwriter’s sixth studio album, only this time alongside a 17-piece string orchestra. <a href="https://www.vogue.com/article/lykke-li-the-afterparty-coachella-interview" target="_blank">In an interview with Vogue</a> she explained her process, stating “I wanted to make something super maximalist, over the top, and use every instrument I’ve ever been curious about.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Anticipation over the unreleased album came after Li’s listening party in Los Angeles where she stated, “it is my sixth album, and maybe my final.” <a href="https://pitchfork.com/news/lykke-li-details-final-album-the-afterparty-shares-new-song/" target="_blank">With confirmation by Pitchfork</a>, fans are preparing for this to potentially be her last album. Additionally, <a href="https://www.vogue.com/article/lykke-li-the-afterparty-coachella-interview" target="_blank">in her interview with Vogue</a>, she claimed “I think it’s the final album in this incarnation of myself that started out as such a young person.” However, she reassured fans “I’ll keep making music, but is it as a solo artist, where you put so much out there? Or in another form,” hinting at a new era for herself.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Superstar Hayley Williams is currently embarking on a world tour in celebration of her breathtaking, Grammy nominated record, ‘<em>Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party.</em>’ An individual that has countless tricks up her sleeve, Williams brought internet comedy sensation, Caleb Hearon on stage for a beloved duet of her song ‘Parachute.’ The haphazard duo made their stage debut during her show at Franklin Music Hall in Philadelphia.</p>

<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>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The party doesn’t stop with Joey Valence &amp; Brae, who have just released an extended version of their third studio album &#8216;</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">HYPERYOUTH&#8217;</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Featuring popular tracks ‘</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">BUST DOWN</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">’ and ‘</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">LIVE RIGHT</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">’, fans can expect to hear the beloved upbeat compilation alongside 6 new bonus tracks. Produced and written entirely by Joey Valence &amp; Brae (JVB), they say the album is an experience of growing up and, importantly, about dancing. And now, the dancing carries on: the deluxe version &#8216;</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">HYPERYOUTH: Afterparty&#8217;</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> is finally out.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">JVB bring to &#8216;</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">HYPERYOUTH&#8217; </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">high energy, wit and charm, and an eternal credit to being a 90’s kid. The album is an unmistakable tribute to the rap/rock fusion of The Beastie Boys melded with modern hip-hop head-banger rhythms. Highly influenced by popular culture but still the same kids raised on Pokemon, video games, and the internet, JVB are throwing a party that never stops and everyone is invited &#8211; so long as you’re dancing.</span></strong></p>
<p>&#8216;<em>HYPERYOUTH Afterparty</em>&#8216; brings its beloved silly but endlessly feel good sound in 6 brand new tracks. Preceding the original 14-track compilation are new dance-inducing tracks &#8216;friends&#8217;, &#8216;push the pipe&#8217;, &#8216;how does it feel to be young&#8217;, &#8216;bustamove&#8217;, &#8216;i like this&#8217;, and &#8216;changes&#8217;. The new tracks elevate the album&#8217;s youthful spirit with their love of the dancefloor and JVB&#8217;s ode to never truly growing up.</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Nobody wants to dance anymore&#8230; let&#8217;s bring that life back into the culture.&#8221;</strong> &#8211; JVB say in interview with <a href="https://www.kerrang.com/joey-valence-brae-interview-braedan-lugue-joseph-bertolino-old-school-hip-hop-crossover-beastie-boys-pendulum-album-hyperyouth">Kerrang</a>.</p>

The deluxe release is perfectly timed as JVB are soon to kick off their HYPERYOUTH<span style="font-weight: 400;"> world tour. The two will be bringing their high energy, high vibes, hard bars and Pokemon cards to stages all across the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Europe through 2026. Fans will also get to see support from various acts such as Joshua Raw, Chase USA and more as JVB bring their hyperactive music chaos to stages worldwide. The duo have expressed the timeless excitement of being onstage, and the gratitude for performing to an audience who are devoted to true cause: partying together to good, loud music.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Prepare to dance, bounce, cry, sweat and make friends”, they say.</span> <strong><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong><strong><br />

<p>New Jersey based rock band, My Chemical Romance are bringing their theatrical rock opera stage show to the UK and Europe in 2026. The announcement of a stellar group of opening acts is only enhancing excitement among fans, take a look at the full list below!</p>
<p>The band are kicking off their long-anticipated return to the UK in Liverpool’s Anfield Stadium on June 30 before heading over to Glasgow’s Bellahouston Park on July 4. Finishing off their run of UK shows the band is set to play three nights at London’s Wembley stadium from July 8 to July 11. They will then travel to Florence, Italy to play Visarno Arena on July 15 before finalising in Madrid, Spain on July 18.</p>
<p>At long last the band has shared those who will be joining them on their UK and Europe run and it is a monumental crew. No strangers to choosing premier openers for their fans, My Chemical Romance typically make these musical decisions based upon their own diverse music tastes.</p>
<p>Kickstarting in Liverpool My Chemical Romance are joined by Echo &amp; The Bunnymen, leading on from this on July 4 they are in good company with Idlewild in Glasgow’s Bellahouston park. For each one of their three Wembley shows they’ve hand picked three different artists. On the opening night, July 8 they are accompanied by Skunk Anansie followed by Joan Jett on July 10 and finally Sunny Day Real Estate on their closing night. In Florence, Italy attendees will witness an opening set from Interpol before the band has their curtain call in Madrid, Spain with a prelude from  Mogwai.</p>
<p>The band lovingly shared a poster via their Instagram with the new additions to their show with the caption: ‘We can&#8217;t wait to see all of you.”  Likewise, guys, likewise.</p>

<p>Back in September the legendary emo group cryptically teased UK shows. They shared a video to Instagram depicting an old school game show host telling viewers, “Our two fine contestants will help us learn who will be the next lucky country to win the grand prize of one nuclear winter.” Before exclaiming, “Congratulations, United Kingdom!” Following this there was cryptic imagery dotted around central London. Fans shared photos on X of a doll seen on stage in earlier shows popping up on screens at St Pancras tube station and billboards in Leicester Square. Not entirely sure what a ‘Nuclear winter’ is but it is definitely something not to miss!</p>
<p>The boys have also announced an equally invigorating gaggle of support acts for their 2026 North American shows. This includes Franz Ferdinand, Pierce the Veil, Iggy Pop, Babymetal, Jimmy Eat World, Mars Volta and The Breeders. Each individual show seems to be in for a wild ride.</p>
<p>The emo assembly are notorious for delivering heavenly live shows, complete with falsified live executions, an exploding clown and fully fledged acting performances from each band member. The band are set to stop touring in late 2026, but for now the best is simply yet to come.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Two decades since its release, Mike Skinner is revisiting the album that changed everything. In summer 2026, </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Streets</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">will tour the UK performing &#8216;</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">A Grand Don’t Come for Free&#8217;</span></i> in full, <span style="font-weight: 400;"> a rare chance to experience the album’s full narrative arc live on stage.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Originally released in 2004, the album told the story of one man’s lost £1,000, but it was always about much more than that: love, miscommunication, paranoia, and working-class frustration, all filtered through Skinner’s deadpan delivery and brutally honest lyricism.</span>.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.radiox.co.uk/news/music/the-streets-a-grand-dont-come-for-free-2026-uk-tour-tickets/" target="_blank">Speaking to Radio X</a> Mike Skinner sounded apprehensively excited for the gigs:</p>
<p>“We’ve been looking for something bold to do with the live show, and we landed here: some tracks have never been played live, others haven’t surfaced in years.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It’s a new challenge to bring the whole journey to life on stage, but I have an incredible band and we always give everything every night. So I’m certain we’ll make finding out what happened to that thousand quid a party every night.”</p>
<p>Now, for the first time, the album’s full narrative will unfold on stage. It’s a bold move many of the songs, on man album featuring hits like ‘Dry Your Eyes’, ‘Fit But You Know It’ and ‘Blinded By The Lights.’ have either never been played live, or have long since left The Streets’ set lists.</p>
<p>The album is a moment in British history which can always be looked back on as Skinner defining an era. An album that captures his unique storytelling ability. This of course comes with a huge range of lyrics, which in typical Streets fashion, can vary incredibly line to line, and at times make little sense.</p>
<p>Aa playful instagram post Skinner posted a video of him in the studio rehearsing, captioned:</p>
<p>&#8220;you might be excited about me performing ‘a grand don’t come for free’ start to finish but i’ve got to learn the words!!. see you next year!&#8221;</p>

<p>When announcing the shows on social media, the band said, &#8220;We’re really looking forward to heading back out across the UK &amp; Ireland next summer!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We’re headlining In It Together festival in Port Talbot and Splendour festival in Nottingham as well playing a run of our own shows. And we’re very excited about it all.&#8221;</p>
<p>Snow Patrol release their eighth studio album last year, &#8216;<em>The Forest Is The Path&#8217;</em>, which was their first record in six years.</p>
<p><iframe style="border-radius: 12px;" src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/album/7cbi6YeBaCjEdyzMdtwG45?utm_source=generator" width="100%" height="352" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" data-testid="embed-iframe"></iframe></p>
<p>In 2023, the band announced the bassist Paul Wilson and drummer Jonny Quinn had decided to leave Snow Patrol.</p>
<p>The news came after the band had celebrated 20 years since their breakout album was released, &#8216;<em>The Final Straw&#8217;</em>.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-66681372" target="_blank">The band said</a>, &#8220;We are heartbroken they have decided to leave us but we wish them nothing but happiness, success, joy, compassion and everything they want in all their future endeavours.&#8221;</p>
<p>Frontman Gary Lightbody said, &#8220;Nate, JMD and myself will continue with SP and there will be a new album next year but more news of that will come at an appropriate time.&#8221;</p>
<p class="ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10">Snow Patrol was formed in Dundee in 1994 under the name Shrug, with an original line-up of Northern Ireland-born musicians Gary Lightbody, Mark McClelland and Michael Morrison.</p>
<p class="ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10">After a brief period of performing under the name Polarbear, they change the name to Snow Patrol in 1997.</p>
<p class="ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10">Jonny Quinn joined the band as a drummer in the same year. In 2005, Paul Wilson joined as the bassist.</p>
<p class="ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10">The band&#8217;s big break came in the mid-2000s, with hits including &#8216;Run&#8217; and <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/jul/17/chasing-cars-by-snow-patrol-is-most-played-song-on-uk-radio-this-century" target="_blank">&#8216;Chasing Cars&#8217;, which was crowned as the most played song of the 21st century on UK radio in 2019</a>.</p>
<p class="ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10">Gary Lightbody was almost amongst some of the artist who <a href="https://www.musicweek.com/talent/read/ed-sheeran-brings-together-artists-to-call-on-pm-to-provide-long-term-funding-for-music-education/091646" target="_blank">backed the open letter written by Ed Sheeran to the UK government</a> which called for the implementation of immediate and long-term funding for music education.</p>
<p>The initiative highlighted five areas the government should focus on: music funding in schools, training for music teachers, funding for grassroots venues, music apprenticeships, and a diverse music curriculum.</p>
<p>Tickets for the tour are available for general sale on 10 October at 9am.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Liam Gallagher has teased that Oasis may be doing more shows next year.</p>
<p>Over the past two nights, the band returned to London for shows at Wembley, which will now be followed by further shows in Japan, Australia, Argentina, Chile, and Brazil.</p>
<p>While there are no more scheduled shows following their final &#8216;Live 25&#8242; date in Brazil on 23 November, rumours have been going around that the Gallagher brothers could play Knebworth or the Etihad Stadium, due to the 30th anniversary of their landmark gigs at Knebworth and Maine Road being next year.</p>
<p>Liam Gallagher added to this speculation at their gig on 27 September when he said &#8220;See you next year&#8221; towards the end of their set.</p>
<p>Clips of the moment have got fans very excited, with many hoping for an official announcement soon. <a href="https://x.com/sasa31639638731/status/1971895681951617464" target="_blank">One fan said</a> &#8220;If my only ever Oasis concert will be Knebworth 26, then so be it. Till the wheels fall off, Ticketmaster.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

<p>Furthermore, <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3w6yy4g6gdo" target="_blank">the band called out Ticketmaster for using dynamic pricing</a> for their tickets, with fans being charged as much as £350 per ticket, which was around £200 more than had been advertised.</p>
<p>In a statement issued to <a href="https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/whats-on/music-nightlife-news/oasis-break-silence-dynamic-pricing-29870822" target="_blank">PA Media</a>, the band said: &#8220;It needs to be made clear that Oasis leave decisions on ticketing and pricing entirely to their promoters and management.&#8221;</p>
<p>However, fans have pointed out on social media that the tease for 2026 might not be live dates and could be an album. Earlier this year, the band&#8217;s manager confirmed that there is no plan for anymore new music or anymore live shows on the reunion tour.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.rollingstone.co.uk/music/news/oasis-manager-confirms-they-have-no-plan-for-any-new-music-50197/" target="_blank">Their manager described</a> the tour as, &#8220;very much the last time around&#8221; as well as saying that, &#8220;There’s no plan for any new music.&#8221;</p>
<p>Last year, the band shot down any rumours that they were planning to headline Knebworth in 2026, with the band taking to X saying &#8220;&#8221;Contrary to reports in some UK tabloid media today, Oasis will not be playing Knebworth Park in the future.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>
Contrary to reports in some UK tabloid media today, Oasis will not be playing Knebworth Park in the future.<br />
 There are no plans for any further UK dates beyond the currently announced UK stadium tour.</p>

</p></blockquote>
<p><script src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" async="" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>Liam also went online and <a href="https://www.radiox.co.uk/artists/liam-gallagher/says-new-oasis-reunion-album-is-spiritual/" target="_blank">teased a new Oasis album</a>, describing the album as &#8220;SPIRITUAL&#8221;. He also claimed that <a href="https://www.rova.nz/articles/liam-gallagher-promises-fans-will-be-blown-away-by-a-brand-new-oasis-album" target="_blank">he was &#8220;blown away&#8221;</a> by new material written by Noel.</p>
<p><a href="https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/liam-gallagher-no-new-oasis-album/" target="_blank">He then went back onto social media</a> to post an update saying there was &#8220;no Oasis album in the making&#8221;, and his prior comments were something he did for &#8220;a laugh&#8221;.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Despite a few appearances at the odd festival, it has been more than 6 years since </span>Tame Impala toured the UK and Europe.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/tame-impala-announces-2026-uk-and-european-tour-along-with-new-single-single-dracula-buy-tickets-3895309" target="_blank">Speaking to NME, </a>Tame Impala has highlighted to fans that the forthcoming album will be “deeply inspired by bush doof culture and the Western Australia rave scene”, as well as one that reestablishes Tame Impala “as a kind of future primitive rave act”.</p>
<p><iframe style="border-radius: 12px;" src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/track/709ZIqPHyFOpx2QdjmeWAM?utm_source=generator" width="100%" height="352" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" data-testid="embed-iframe"></iframe></p>
<p>New single ‘Dracula’  follows this exact theme, a spooky display of synth, it&#8217;s a song that gets you on your feet and moving. Though on the slower side of the rave music some may be used to, its a tune for the soul, and commands serenity.</p>
<p>Elsewhere we have seen two new pieces of work released this year by the artist.</p>
<p data-start="189" data-end="494">Although Tame Impala hasn’t graced the live stage since March 2023, Kevin Parker gave fans a surprise earlier this year by premiering the shimmering new track “End Of Summer” during a DJ set at Primavera Sound in Barcelona — a moment that sparked speculation about what’s next for the psych-pop visionary.</p>
<p data-start="496" data-end="798">Earlier this month, Parker dropped the single &#8216;Loser&#8217;, accompanied by a cinematic new video starring <em data-start="597" data-end="614">Stranger Things</em>actor and solo artist Joe Keery, also known as Djo. Now, all eyes turn to &#8216;<em data-start="689" data-end="699">Deadbeat&#8217;</em> — the highly anticipated fifth studio album from Tame Impala — as the project continues to unfold.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tickets will go on sale at these times: </span></p>

<p>Damon Albarn created Gorillaz in 1998 as a project with artist Jamie Hewlett. The band is said to be sprung out of the duo’s disdain for the popular music at the time and its fictitious portrayal of life amongst celebrities.</p>

<p>The group also allowed the Blur frontman to experiment away from the britpop blanket he got comfortable underneath in the 90s and you can really see how diverse his approach to music can be, throughout their discography.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Out of hatred for superficiality, Gorillaz was born. A fictitious band (besides Albarn himself) featuring 4 animated members: </span><b>2-D</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">vocalist and keyboardist; </span><b>Murdoc Niccals</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, Bassist; </span><b>Noodle</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> – guitar, keyboard and vocals; and </span><b>Russel Hobbs, </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">the drummer. </span></p>
<p>It must be said that this isn&#8217;t just any silly side project. The band has sold millions of albums worldwide, won a Grammy, multiple Brit Awards and received a Mercury prize nomination. This may be a spawn of curiosity, but it&#8217;s captured the hearts of many, and deserves the attention it commands.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The fabricated sensation <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/gorillaz-to-play-iconic-three-albums-in-full-at-one-off-london-live-shows/" target="_blank">returned to the stage</a> earlier this month, for a show where phones were banned, and their new music was on display for fans at the London Copper Box Arena. The ‘mystery gig’ turned out to be their new album back to front which featured some familiar faces. </span></p>
<p>Special guests Johnny Marr, Joe Talbot and Sparks joined the band on stage, in a spectacle of secrecy and brilliance.</p>
<p>Gorillaz have since treated us to a taste of their new album by releasing ‘The Happy Dictator’ featuring Sparks. It’s a beautifully nostalgic critique of the hypocrisy of modern day society and likely the higher powers within.</p>
<p><iframe style="border-radius: 12px;" src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/album/28hPpJ5zrajpudLVXzvEZF?utm_source=generator" width="100%" height="352" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" data-testid="embed-iframe"></iframe></p>
<p>The oxymoronic title is echoed in the lyricism of the song. “Everything is slowing down yet everything is faster… oh what a happy land we live in’ is a standout statement. It displays a clear confusion with modern life, and ironically proclaims it’s a happy land, when evidently it seems Albarn thinks otherwise.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/gorillaz-announce-new-album-the-mountain-with-uk-and-ireland-tour-and-theatrical-single-the-happy-dictator-featuring-sparks-3892035" target="_blank">According to NME</a>: </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">‘The Mountain’ “includes collaborations with Black Thought, Omar Souleyman, Asha Puthli, Asha Bhosle, Sparks, Gruff Rhys, Kara Jackson, Yasiin Bey, Paul Simonon, IDLES‘ Joe Talbot, Johnny Marr, Ajay Prasanna, Trueno and Anoushka Shankar.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The London Arab Orchestra, Demon Strings, Chris Storr, James Copus and Matthew Gunner also served as featured musicians, while deceased acts like Dennis Hopper, Bobby Womack, De La Soul‘s Dave Jolicoeur, Tony Allen, Proof and the late Mark E Smith of The Fall are billed as Voices from Elsewhere.’</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Album is set for release on March 20 2026. The dates and locations for ‘The Mountain Tour’ are as follows: </span></p>
