				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Rising Irish alternative grunge band, Bleech 9:3 are currently taking the world by storm one rowdy show at a time. The four-piece are gaining traction through their electronic live shows, brightly coloured hair, and addictive guitar riffs. With tracks catalysed by a sense of longing and grit, it is evident the group are here to stick around. Fresh off the surge of word of mouth hype and catchy new track releases the bands latest tour announcement signifies a major stepping stone in their world domination.</p>
<p>The group currently only have four songs released on Spotify; despite this they have accumulated a dedicated cult following way before their first official EP release. Further solidifying their role in the indie music scene, they recently completed an extensive tour run supporting the alternative rock band Keo.</p>
<p>Relocating to London, the group, formed in 2024 and consists of Barry ‘Baz’ Quinlan, Sam Duffy, James Quinlan and Luke O’Neil. The Dublin born fronting duo, Duffy, and Quinlan formed an unlikely bond in an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, redirecting their struggles into intoxicating tracks., Their restless 90s-infused debut single ‘Ceiling’ holds host to a grave emotional intensity, proving their capability not only as musicians but incredible songwriters too.</p>
<p>Within the whirlwind of their rapid rise, the boys have been progressively releasing new tracks that nestle within their first official self titled EP set to release on May 15. The track-list currently consists of ‘Jacky,’ ‘Underrated,’ ‘Cannonball,’ ‘No Surprise,’ and the lead single, ‘Ceiling.’ The group announced the first pressing release of their debut EP however drastically underestimated the desire for their music. Selling out rapidly, the group jumped to their social media sharing that they are thankfully working on a new pressing.</p>
<p>Amidst this exciting endeavour the group have announced a UK and Ireland tour spanning from November through to December of 2026.This tour leans into the bands grassroots appeal, they tend to favour smaller venues that have been a crucial part in their own rise.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="font-weight: 400;">Yungblud, also known as Dominic Harrison, kicked off his ‘Idols’ UK &amp; Ireland tour on the 11<sup>th</sup> of April in Sheffield. The Doncaster born singer celebrated coming home to the UK with supporting acts The Warning and The Molotovs.<em>‘Idols’</em>, his recent album, was released in June 2025 but Yungblud will also be preforming many of his other notable songs like ‘Fleabag’. Yungblud announced to his fans, “<a href="https://rocknloadmag.com/yungblud-opens-sold-out-uk-arena-tour-with-triumphant-homecoming-show/" target="_blank">This album, &#8216;<em>Idols</em>&#8216;, was made in Yorkshire and we brought it home tonight</a>”, commemorating his roots.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Earlier this year, Yungblud was awarded his first Grammy for best rock performance in his live performance of ‘Changes’, a cover of Black Sabbath’s song. The proceeds from the single went towards Cure Parkinson&#8217;s, Birmingham Children&#8217;s Hospital, and Acorn Children&#8217;s hospice, and Osbourne approved telling NME “<a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/yungblud-releases-ozzy-osbourne-approved-cover-of-black-sabbaths-changes-from-villa-park-for-charity-the-biggest-moment-of-my-entire-life-3879205" target="_blank">He did an amazing job. I couldn&#8217;t have done it better myself</a>.”Yungblud and Ozzy Osbourne publicly shared a very close relationship, and ‘Changes’ acts as a testament to this as he stated “<a href="https://rocknloadmag.com/yungblud-opens-sold-out-uk-arena-tour-with-triumphant-homecoming-show/" target="_blank">Ozzy Osbourne&#8217;s about love. Yungblud is about love. You, tonight, are about love.</a>” In his first show, fans were relieved to hear the rendition as a tribute to Osbourne, being a mentor and a friend, 9 months after his tragic passing. ‘Changes (Live From Villa Park/ Back To The Beginning)’ can be listened <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJZmO5mByVY&amp;list=RDoJZmO5mByVY&amp;start_radio=1" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Over 14,000 people gathered to see the musician, and he showed his appreciation by inviting one lucky fan onto the stage. He opened with confetti canons singing &#8216;Hello Heaven, Hello&#8217; and closed with a final encore of &#8216;Suburban Requiem&#8217;. The show was especially meaningful following his brief hiatus back in 2025, only months after his album release in June. The English musician told Rolling Stone &#8216;I&#8217;ve been told I have to take it seriously and I can&#8217;t fuck around.&#8217; Unfortunately, Yungblud was forced to cancel many of his shows on the advice of his doctors, making his comeback now even more momentous less than a year later.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The UK leg is due to end in Manchester on the 25<sup>th of</sup> April, although he plans to tour North America very quickly after from the 1<sup>st </sup>of May till the 26<sup>th</sup>of July. Fans can expect to see opening acts between 7:00pm- 7:30pm, with Yungblud appearing around 9:00pm. With many of his shows initially selling out, last minute resale tickets can still be bought via Ticketmaster and other ticketing sites.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">For fans who missed out, the Sheffield setlist can be found <a href="https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/yungblud/2026/utilita-arena-sheffield-sheffield-england-3b4c7858.html" target="_blank">here</a>, and is available to stream on all streaming platforms.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hayley Williams has blessed fans with a 12-minute documentary regarding the creation of her supreme solo album, ‘<em>Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party’.</em></p>
<p>For anyone that is a fan of Williams, even from her Paramore days this is an intriguing joyride into just how demanding musical creativity can be on an individual. The documentary is heartfelt and human, providing fans with a front row seat into the making of everyone’s favourite lyrical powerhouse record. The beloved superstar uploaded the mini documentary, titled, ‘The Making of Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party’, to her YouTube channel last week, dragging audiences into her creation of the four-time Grammy nominated record.</p>
<p>Williams is seen working closely with producers Daniel James and Jim-E Stack, mixing tracks and distinguishing what is right from wrong. The teams work ethic and determination is admirable, inspiring to any aspiring musician.</p>
<p>The short-lived documentary displays Williams in the studio working on particular fan favourites with fellow musicians. It is an incredibly articulate insight for any fan of Williams’ creative process showcasing her masterful songwriting skills and raw talent.</p>
<p>Williams initially shared her third solo project on her website in July 2025. The highly anticipated work sent fans into a frenzy worldwide originally dubbed as, ‘<em>Ego</em>.’ Prior to the records officially release, 17 tracks were briefly uploaded to her website in July 2025, only accessible via a code from Williams’ hair dye brand, Good Dye Young.</p>
<p><em>‘Ego Death At A Bachelorette Part</em>y’ is a phenomenal record musically and similarly in its message. It is Williams’ first solo music project since she became a free agent. At just a nimble 15-years-old Williams was signed to a 20-year contract with Atlantic Records, two decades later that contract has finally expired, and Williams is free to create. This newfound freedom is evident in her lyricism and her ability to enter near territories fearlessly.</p>
<p>Critics and fans alike deem the record Williams’ greatest solo work, these new projects greatly indicate how long Williams has been yearning to create solo projects. The record was met with widespread acclaim from music critics upon its release, RollingStone listed the album as number 9 on their ‘100 Best Albums of 2025’ list.</p>
<p>Fans will not have to wait around to witness Williams in the flesh as she is set to bring the album to life on a stage near you in the new year. Heading out on a world tour next month, Williams is racking in dates in North America, Europe, and the UK. The jam-packed tour is set to begin in Atlanta on March 27, 2026.</p>
<p>This behind-the-scenes adventure is crucial for fans to understand the celebratory artistic journey Williams is embarking on in modernity. She is finally creating what her heart desires and whether you have been a fan for 20 years or a fan of Williams’ solo work, ‘The Making of Ego Death at A Bachelorette Party’ provides a personal connection to the crazy musical world of a star.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Rap superstar ASAP Rocky has finally announced his return to the stage with a global tour. In celebration of his brand-new stellar album, <em>‘Don’t Be Dumb</em>’, the artist has set forth a global tour including three UK dates.</p>
<p>The icon has an impressive array of talents, coining jobs as a rapper, producer, actor, fashion designer and model. Born and raised in Harlem, New York, Rocky has made a forever lasting impact on the rap scene.</p>
<p>The whimsical album of the same name was shared with the world on January 16 and has received an overly positive response from fans and critics alike, hailing his return to music with a positive attitude.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/IMG_0458.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-116665" src="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/IMG_0458-600x600.jpeg" alt="IMG_0458" width="600" height="600" /></a></p>
<p>The mammoth 42 date tour kicks off in North America on May 27 in Chicago and is set to include venues in the likes of Toronto, Houston, Atlanta, Los Angeles and finalising in New Jersey on July 11. Rocky will then make his overdue European return in August starting in Brussels, cruising through to London, Glasgow, Manchester and finishing off the impressive globe trotting in Paris. This is set to be Rocky’s first shows in the UK since 2022. It is bound to be a whirlwind of a trip for everyone involved.</p>
<p>The three UK dates are as follows:</p>
<p>&#8211;              Sunday August 30: London UK O2 Arena</p>
<p>&#8211;              Friday September 4: Glasgow, UK OVO Hydro</p>
<p>&#8211;              Saturday September 5: Manchester, UK Co-op Live</p>
<p>‘<em>Don’t Be Dumb</em>’ is Rocky’s fourth studio album, his first in almost eight years since his release of ‘<em>Testing</em>’ in 2018. The album has had an overall positive response from a number of critics. Metacritic, typically ranking albums out of 100, provided the record with a score of 70. The Guardian’s, Shaad D’Souza dubbed the record as Rocky’s “strongest album since his debut”. The tracklist is as follows:</p>
<p>1.        “Order of Protection”</p>
<p>2.        “Helicopter”</p>
<p>3.        “Interrogation (Skit)”</p>
<p>4.        “Stole Ya Flow”</p>
<p>5.        “Stay Here 4 Life”</p>
<p>6.        “Playa”</p>
<p>7.        “No Trespassing”</p>
<p>8.        “Stop Snitching”</p>
<p>9.        “STFU”</p>
<p>10.  “Punk Rocky”</p>
<p>11.   “Air Force (Black Demarco”</p>

<p>15.   “The End”</p>
<p>Digital Bonus Tracks:<br />
16.  “Swat Team”<br />
17. “Fish N Steak (What It Is”</p>
<p>The record itself is an experiential hip hop trip and it is riddling fans with curiosity regarding his stage performance. The attractive tour poster states that Rocky’s “Alter Egos” will be joining him on stage, one can only imagine what the artist means by this and it is undoubtedly going to be a theatrical mind-blowing spectacle.</p>
<p>General sale kicks off at 9am Tuesday, January 27 and this is accessible via Ticketmaster. There was also an available range of pre-sales that fans could sign up for, commencing at 9am on Wednesday January 21. Resale options are set to be available on trusted resale sites, Viagogo and Stubhub.</p>
<p>This is definitely not a tour to miss for any rap fans as Rocky is guaranteed to provide a wonderous stage show fro all fans present. Grab your tickets before they sell out.</p>

<p data-removefontsize="true" data-originalcomputedfontsize="16"> ‘Headlights’ is the tenth audio album released by American musician, Alex G. The album was released on July 18 2025 and marked his major label debut, with the album being released by RCA Records. Consisting of 12 tracks, and receiving great critical praise, the album reminds us once again why Alex G is quite as successful as he is.</p>
<p data-removefontsize="true" data-originalcomputedfontsize="16">Known for his DIY, indie rock style, Alex G (full name Alexander Giannascoli) has developed an online cult following over his active years. He first self released his debut album, ‘Race’ in 2010 at the age of 17, and in 2014 his breakthrough was marked as a successful, albeit still underground, major talented, bedroom artist.</p>
<p data-removefontsize="true" data-originalcomputedfontsize="16"><em>DSU</em> was released on June 17 2014 and to this day the album still reigns highly in fans hearts. The beloved Giannascoli developed a renaissance of popularity in 2020 due to TikTok usage skyrocketing.  His songs were clipped countless times and used on all sorts of short form videos, this led to younger generations discovering Giannascoli and he once more had people falling in love with him all over again.</p>
<p data-removefontsize="true" data-originalcomputedfontsize="16">Social media favoured particular songs of his including ‘Mary’ and ‘Sarah’ from his 2012 album, ‘Trick’. This only urged listeners to delve into more of Giannascoli’s discography at the years went on.</p>
<p data-removefontsize="true" data-originalcomputedfontsize="16">Known for shifting vocal pitches, and unconventional production techniques, it is no wonder why Giannascoli became as famous as he is.  Despite his growing influence on indie, bedroom pop as a whole Giannascoli remains extremely lowkey within his success. His own face isn’t plastered across his album covers and he rarely makes an appearance on his own social media. He keeps up his normal guy persona which greatly goes hand in hand with the type of music he creates, it’s as if he’s emphasising that anyone can truly achieve this if they want it enough, Giannascoli is on the same side as his fans not in some distant far away world.</p>
<p data-removefontsize="true" data-originalcomputedfontsize="16">The gloomy, sombre energy immortalised in Giannascoli’s music may simply be viewed as cheerless rather than impactful however it has had the complete opposite affect. The tracks have resulted in countless young people globally feeling seen.  Giannascoli communicated these taboo feelings of distaste towards the universe that all too many individuals felt during a worldwide pandemic, life is not always sunshine and rainbows and it’s okay to talk about it, particularly in an environment as warming as Giannascoli’s discography.</p>
<p data-removefontsize="true" data-originalcomputedfontsize="16">Taking the world by storm ever since his Bandcamp days, Giannascoli is now set to take his prosperous tour worldwide. In the recent colder months of 2025, Giannascoli put on some incredible shows in the UK and Ireland including stops at Glasgow, Manchester, London and Bournemouth. The tour was extremely well received and dates sold out quickly, so it’ll be no surprise if the same happens for the US leg.</p>
<p data-removefontsize="true" data-originalcomputedfontsize="16">An artist who truly deserves every ounce of success that comes his way, Giannascoli will continue to serenade the hearts of many for years to come</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>British superstar, Lily Allen made her return to US television with an impressive ‘Saturday Night Live’ performance after not appearing on the show as a guest since 2007. The beloved pop star performed a new track from her recent album, ‘<em>West End girl’.</em></p>
<p>The stellar two-song set perfectly embodies Allen&#8217;s growth as an artist, from a young shy girl she’s now blossomed into a confident woman, so sure of herself and everything she is saying within her devastating lyrics.</p>
<p>Accompanying her on the late-night set was none other than Dakota Johnson. Allen performed two tracks from her fifth studio album, ‘Madeline’ and ‘Sleepwalking’ , having Johnson embody the other women in ‘Madeline’. Johnson can be heard speaking to Allen from behind a curtain before walking out on stage and planting a kiss on Allen’s cheek. There is a great deal of speculation surrounding the fact that this album is supposedly about Allen’s former husband, Stranger Things star, David Harbour and his rumoured cheating antics. Johnson’s involvement in the performance emphasises an emotionally charged feeling of betrayal that lingers on the lit stage.</p>
<p>Johnson’s character states from behind a translucent curtain, “I hate that you’re in so much pain right now. I really don’t wanna be the cause of any upset. He told me that you were aware this was going on and that he had your full consent.” Throughout her performance Allen gazed harshly into the camera lens, it is evident she’s singing fully from her heart. Many fans also pointed out that the homely set featured on Saturday Night Live holds a strong resemblance to the home that harbour and Allen shared in Brooklyn. The pair lovingly shared their interior choices in a 2023 Architecture Digest video.</p>
<p><em>‘West End Girl’</em> is Allen’s first album release in 7 years, notably inspired by her recent divorce. The album was a surprise release on October 24, 2025, and is Allen’s first project following her departure from historic British record label, Parlophone. The material presented in the 14-track record is deeply personal and intimate in nature, allowing us to peer into Allen&#8217;s psyche.</p>
<p>The short performance has caused some bustling among fans as not long ago on October 30, Allen announced her first UK tour in seven years to celebrate the release of ‘<em>West End Girl’</em>. The tour is set to kickstart with intimate UK theatre shows in March 2026 before a larger scale run of Arena shows in the UK and Ireland set to begin June 2026. Allen then plans to go across the other side of the pond taking ‘<em>West End Girl’</em> all the way to North America.</p>
<p>The response to the tour and new album has been nothing short of extraordinary, new, and old Allen fans have emerged from the shadows, sharing their love and condolences for her brilliant craft. Tickets flew out swiftly as fans now patiently wait to witness ‘<em>West End Girl’</em> in all its full, heartbroken glory. Allen will forever be a household name, and it seems she just keeps pulling more tricks out of her sleeve.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">Westerman, the project of London-based experimental pop artist Will Westerman, has released his new single ‘Adriatic’ in anticipation for his new album ‘</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">A Jackal’s Wedding</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">’, releasing on November 7. Westerman has spent time in Italy and Greece, and wrote his latest album on the Greek island of Hydra, referenced in the title to his new song ‘Adriatic’.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-weight: 400;"> About his new single, Waterman said for <a href="https://partisanrecords.com/moment/westerman-a-jackals-wedding">Partisan Records</a> &#8220;I wrote ‘Adriatic’ while failing at moving to Greece. I was trying to break outside of the confines of my immediate physical reality. Life is full of practical limitations in terms of having a body, or what you can afford in terms of money, etc. but you can always go to a place in your head where everything is possible, and the song is a celebration of reclaiming that.&#8221;. You can see the music video to his latest single below:</span></strong></p>
<p><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZE-XqKS8R7o?si=1cdmzhHztc_YB4-K" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8216;<em>A Jackal&#8217;s Wedding</em>&#8216; will be Westerman&#8217;s third album, following &#8216;<em>An Inbuilt Fault</em>&#8216;, released in 2023. His <a href="https://westerman.world/?lang=en_GB">website</a> states “Westerman’s third album, &#8216;<em>A Jackal’s Wedding</em>&#8216;, is a humid, nocturnal record shaped by constant transition. Written largely in Athens and recorded at night over five weeks on the Greek island of Hydra with producer Marta Salogni (Björk, The xx, Sampha, English Teacher), the album takes its name from a folkloric term for a sunshower, a strange and beautiful contradiction that mirrors the record’s themes of motion, change, and surreal clarity.”.</span></strong></p>

<p><strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">Westerman released his first EP, titled ‘</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Call and Response</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">’ in 2017, though his breakthrough happened the year later with the release of his single ‘Confirmation’, a single awarded Best New Track by <a href="https://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/westerman-confirmation/">Pitchfork</a>. Confirmation introduced his dreamy sound to the wider music world while the song delves into the process of song-writing and the self-doubt when creating new music.<br />
</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">Westerman&#8217;s debut album &#8216;<em>Your Hero is Not Dead</em>&#8216; was released to critical acclaim, with honest, moving lyrics and a full synth-heavy sound. In this album, he continues his exploration on song-writing while showing his bravery with intriguing instrumentals. His second album &#8216;<em>An Inbuilt Fault</em>&#8216; follows the same lyrical themes though it is a lot more stripped back and allows more space for Westerman&#8217;s vocals to shine through. If his new single is an indication of the entire album, the new album will turn up the experimentation while using more catchy, danceable pulse. </span></strong></p>
<p>&#8216;<em>A Jackal&#8217;s Wedding</em>&#8216; will be released on November 7 2025, you can preorder it <a href="https://store.partisanrecords.com/release/524323-westerman-a-jackals-wedding">here</a>.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">South London-based Patrick Wolf has released his latest EP ‘</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Better or Worse</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">’ shortly after his comeback album ‘</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Crying the Neck’, </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> released last month. Blending folk music with baroque pop, Wolf creates music that sounds full and rich whilst still maintaining an intimate feel. Wolf takes inspiration from music around the world, with this latest release including elements of Irish folk and Spanish traditional music.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Patrick Wolf teased the release of his new EP on Instagram, playing a rendition of the title song ‘Better or Worse’ on the octave lyre. He also states in the Instagram post that he has had a five string electric viola made especially for his current tour, showcasing his creativity. Early in Wolf’s career, he made his own instruments whilst part of London’s underground art and music scenes. Wolf also studied French and lived in Malaga, Spain allowing him to speak both Spanish and French in his music. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">His latest EP is a perfect example of this, the third track ‘Hymne Des Étrangers’ is a slow ballad sang in French while the 4th song ‘Mejora O Empeorar’ is a electronic-folk song sang in Spanish. On Instagram, Wolf wrote “I guess this a good time to tell you a “better or worse” e.p will be yours on Monday, with my first song I’ve written in the French language “Hymne Des Étrangers” and the Spanish language reworking and summer of 2025 re-production of Better or Worse called “Mejora O Empeorar””.</span></p>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Patrick wolf released his debut album ‘</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lycanthropy</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">’ in 2004, first showcasing his unique blend of folk, electronica and baroque pop. In this album, he struggles with themes of isolation and addiction. These themes continue through his next releases, ‘</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Wind in the Wires’</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, released in 2005, through to ‘</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lupercalia</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">’, released in 2011. After the release of ‘</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lupercalia</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">’, Wolf took a long hiatus to focus on personal growth, sobriety and creativity. When he returned in 2023 with the &#8216;<em>Night Safari EP&#8217;</em>, it marked the beginning of a new chapter &#8211; one shaped by sobriety, reflection, and a deepening interest in language and cultural expression. ‘</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Better Or Worse</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">’ continues that journey.  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Wolf is currently touring his latest full-length album “</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Crying the Neck</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">’ , fan honest and intimate album that includes highlights such as ‘Limbo’ featuring Zola Jesus, and ‘The Last of England’ a single <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DKuGxSrxSBA/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==">Wolf calls “his national anthem”</a>.

<p>The album reissue will mark the band&#8217;s first release since 2008 with their last album <em>&#8216;Dig Out Your Soul&#8217;.</em></p>
<p><em>&#8216;Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants&#8217; </em>was released during a pivotal time for the brothers as it was their first release under their own label <a href="https://shop.oasisinet.com/label/34214-big-brother-recordings-ltd?lang=en_GB&amp;srsltid=AfmBOorNxIfA2HEJYAiZDR_euUImpfko8NspJByUg8DyGh2NzQXKWB-6">Big Brother Recordings LTD</a>. The label was launched in 2000 after the sudden closure of Oasis&#8217; label Creation Records.</p>

<p>To celebrate the re-release as well as the anniversary of the album&#8217;s first single &#8216;Go Let It Out&#8217; on February 7, the Mancunian band surprised their fans with a brand new lyric video for the occasion.</p>
<p>The album was a huge step for Oasis as it was their first experimentation with more modern-psychedelic rock-influenced sound, something new for the piece.</p>
<p>The band&#8217;s work reached <a href="https://www.officialcharts.com/albums/oasis-standing-on-the-shoulder-of-giants/">No.1 in the UK Album Chart</a>, selling over 310,000 copies in just its first week out. It has now been certified double platinum whilst having sold over 200,000 copies in the US. The LP will also feature some of the group&#8217;s most iconic songs such as &#8216;F***in&#8217; In The Bushes&#8217;, &#8216;Where Did It All Go Wrong?&#8217; and &#8216;Gas Panic&#8217;.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, the Gallaghers are getting ready to go back on tour with <a href="https://oasisinet.com/news/oasis-live-25/">Oasis Live &#8217;25</a>, giving millions of fans what they have been eagerly waiting for since 2009. Indeed, the band was the <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/oasis-are-the-uks-most-searched-for-artist-in-2024/">UK&#8217;s most searched for artist in 2024 </a>after announcing they had buried the hatchet and would reunite the band to hit the road in 2025.</p>
<p>Their tour will include seven sold-out shows at London&#8217;s Wembley Stadium, five homecoming shows at Manchester&#8217;s Heaton Park, and will include dates in Ireland, Australia, Japan, North Korea, North America and South America.</p>
<p><a href="https://oasisinet.com">The countdown is set</a> on the famous band&#8217;s website to show how many days are left before they make history again.</p>

<p><script src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js" async=""></script>The 79-year-old Blues Rock legend will be going on tour in support of one of his 2024 album <em>&#8216;New Arrangements And Duets&#8217;</em> which is an album made out of songs from Morrison&#8217;s archive. Morrison&#8217;s album contains duets of all sorts with names such as Joss Stone, Curtis Stigers and Kurt Elling. One name Van was the most thrilled about was Willie Nelson, 91-year-old Folk legend, with whom he shares the two songs &#8216;What&#8217;s Wrong With This Picture?&#8217; and &#8216;Steal My Heart Away&#8217;.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/30695101/van-morrison-singing-new-album/">In a talk with The Sun</a>, the artist shared: “It had been on my mind to do a duet with Willie Nelson for a long, long time but I didn’t get the opportunity. It was absolutely fantastic. Very relaxing and very professional. Willie came in and delivered. I played those songs for him and he was into them. There’s not a lot of pondering with this stuff. The less back and forth the better. Willie covers all the bases and, to me, he’s very similar to Ray Charles. I like his work and I heard he liked mine.” <iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/rkTxangXbeU?si=1zWvo8vsGFTBM4Va" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>&#8216;New Arrangements And Duets&#8217; broadcasts a small percentage of the huge amount of unreleased music Morrison still has under his belt. <a href="https://www.vanmorrison.com/news/2024/new-album-new-arrangements-and-duets">Working alongside</a> Paul Moran and Chris White on the songs that needed big band arrangements, leading an array of vocalists and paying tributes to places like Belfast, the Harland and Wolff shipyard as well as people like his father and the love the latter had for jazz music. The solo artist played a sold-out show at the Royal Albert Hall in late 2024 which received a four-star review from <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/reviews/van-morrison-tour-review-royal-albert-hall-london-b2556250.html">The Independent.</a></p>
<p>Set to play in his hometown of Belfast at the Whitla Hall venue at the end of the month, the singer added an extra date due to the high demand.  </p>
