SUMMARY:Ruel
DESCRIPTION:Following the massive release of “Don’t Say That”\, “Hate Myself” marks a triumphant second singleahead of the next chapter in his double-album project\, following Kicking My Feet(Part One)\, the forthcoming Part Two arrives as Kicking My Feet & Screaming. The new song gives fans a glimpse into a new\, uncharted side of Ruel while still tapping into the vulnerability that he’s known for. At its core\, the track explores what it feels like to be stuck in a toxic\, self-destructive relationship\, knowing it’s hurting you\, but not being able to walk away. \nRuel recalls how the track came about-I wrote this one on theday I met Kenny and Jackson\, and whenyou meet someone for the first time\, you sort of try to focus on getting to know one another. After 5-6hours in the studio\, we had basically nothing but then Kenny threw a bit of a hail Mary\, the three of us mixed ideas around\, and next thing we knew we had the whole song in about 30 mins. Since then\, every session I’ve had with Kenny has flowed so well and the two of us wrote a good chunk of the album Part2 together! \nCo-written by industry moguls Kenny Beats(Dominic Fike\, Vince Staples\, Remi Wolf) and Jackson Morgan\, (Justin Bieber\, Macklemore)\, “Hate Myself” captures what it feels like to love someone who isbad for you and choosing to stay until you start resenting yourself more than them. \nRuel just wrapped the second-leg of his 2026 North American Kicking My Feet Tour\, where he wassupported by UK-born singer-songwriter Arthur Hill\, emerging soul-pop singer Chelsea Jordan and rising San-Francisco native Mercer Henderson. Earlier this year\, he also toured in South America on the Lollapalooza festival circuit in Chile\, Argentina\, and Brazil\, and the Estero Picnic Festivalin Colombia. \nTo celebrate his double-album era\, the pop sensation has also announced he’ll be hitting the road again this fall for the Kicking & Screaming Tour\, heading across the UK and Europe from October 1\, 2026 through October 30\, 2026\, with support from singer-songwriter Sadie Jean. Artist presale beginsTuesday\, April 28 at 10 a.m. local time\, followed by general on-sale Thursday\, April 30 at 10 a.m. localtime.Full tour routing is below. \nKicking & Screaminggot off to a strong start last month with ‘Don’t Say That\,’ and willbring fans 10 new tracks as Ruel builds on his Kicking My Feet journey. All-star collaborators that teamed up to create the highly-anticipated project include Julian Bunetta (Sabrina Carpenter\, One Direction\, Teddy Swims)\, John Ryan (Olivia Dean\, Harry Styles\, Shawn Mendes)\, Kenny Beats (Dominic Fike\,Vince Staples\, Remi Wolf)\, M-Phazes (Demi Lovato\, Eminem\, Noah Cyrus)\, Dan Wilson (Taylor Swift\, Niall Horan\, Adele) & Leroy Clampit (Lily Allen\, Justin Bieber\, Finneas).

SUMMARY:Alice Costelloe
DESCRIPTION:London based Alice Costelloe – formerly of critically acclaimed shoegaze duo Big Deal (Mute Records) and previously live bassist for Superfood – independently released her debut solo EP ‘ So Neurotic’ (under the name Al Costelloe) in September 2023. In 2024 she signed to cult UK label Moshi Moshi Records and released her second EP ‘When It’s The Time’ – working with producer Mike Lindsay (Lump\, Tunng). Her debut album ‘Move On With The Year’\, released February 2026\, is a break-away record consisting of 10 tracks of beguiling art-pop built on selftrust\, instinct\, and a necessary process of creative detangling. Produced by Mike Lindsay in his Margate studio\, the album rejects the indie-rock lineage Alice came up in\, trading guitar solos for mellotron\, taishogoto and flute lines recorded mid-lesson\, trusting imperfection as the truest form of expression. \nBeneath that sound is a harder story: the weight of a complicated parental relationship and the kind of grief that doesn’t resolve neatly. At its heart\, this is a companion album to growing up again – not about one heartbreak\, but about reshaping your entire emotional framework and identity in order to step into the next chapter of life.

SUMMARY:THE BLOW MONKEYS
DESCRIPTION:The Blow Monkeys are unique with a career spanning over 40 years. Always making new music\, always stretching their own musical boundaries. With worldwide hits such as the classics ‘Digging Your Scene’ and ‘It Doesn’t Have To Be This Way’\, they became household names but there was always so much more going on with these soulful troubadours. \nTheir relentless desire to move forward\, to collaborate\, to be socially engaged and to have something to contribute. Back in the 80’s they worked with people as varied as Curtis Mayfield\, Paul Weller\, Cheb Khaled and even Jamaican Toaster EEK-a-Mouse! “No band since The Clash in their early 80’s heyday had attempted to act as a sounding board for such politically engaged\, eclectic music” \nDr Robert even took time out to release one of the UK’s first homegrown “house’”.records ‘Wait”’ his top 5 duet with Chicago soul diva Kym Maselle. And so the journey continues. Reformed in 2008 The Blow Monkeys have been incredibly productive releasing nine new albums and playing hundreds of concerts. And now in the Summer of 2024 comes a sparkling new album ‘Birdsong’ on Alan McGee’s ‘Creation Youth’ label. \n“I had a chance meeting with Alan at Youth‘s studio up here in the mountains near Granada and he asked me to write and record a “brilliant Blow Monkey record“ . I knew what he meant. The songs just poured out almost without effort which is always a good sign.. Its a very ‘up’ record … deliberately so.” Says Robert. \n“They just recorded an album at Paul Wellers studio and it is as good as anything Dr Robert did back in the day.” Says McGee “What is unique about Blow Monkeys is bar the drummer are all original members. tour in Australia then the UK and Europe and release the album we just recorded on Creation Youth. Next year we I love this band!“ \nThese Monkeys continue to evolve. From their beginnings on the underground club scene right through to their appearance on the biggest selling soundtrack of all time “Dirty Dancing” (You Don’t Own Me) and beyond. Long may they swing.

SUMMARY:CURVEBALL: Dharmacide
DESCRIPTION:Dharmacide are a Madrid-based band known for their eclectic fusion of shoegaze\, dream pop\, and post-punk. Their sound is characterized by intricate guitar riffs\, powerful drums\, and deep\, soulful vocals that create a unique and immersive atmosphere. Drawing influences from contemporary bands such as DIIV\, Warpaint\, and Beach House\, as well as earlier artists like Cocteau Twins\, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds\, and Tom Waits\, the group blends ethereal textures with darker\, more introspective tones. \nThe band has grown since its inception\, and some of its members are also part of other projects\, such as Depresión Sonora\, Alcalá Norte and TourJets. \nAfter several singles and performances in Paris (Supersonic) and Berlin (8MM Club)\, they released their debut LP Cult Band Member in September 2021\, whose vinyl edition is now sold out. The first half of the album was recorded in Los Angeles with producer Orchin (Hatchie\, Launder\, Tamaryn)\, and it was completed in Madrid at Alejandro Leiva’s studio (Bum Motion Club). The album was presented at Sala El Sol in Madrid with the support of Elias Bender Rønnenfelt (Iceage). \nThe strong reception of their debut led them to perform at festivals such as BBK Live\, Primavera Sound\, Eurosonic ESNS\, The New Colossus Festival in New York\, Vida Festival\, Tomavistas\, Monkey Week\, Esmorga Fest\, and Zgz Psych Fest\, among others. They have also opened for international bands such as Tess Parks\, Bodega\, and Just Mustard during their visits to Madrid. \nIn their ongoing search for the “shoe that fits Dharmacide’s size\,” the band led by René Sharrocks crossed paths with one of their reference shoemakers\, Mark Gardener (Ride)\, who produced\, mixed\, and mastered several of their latest singles at his Oxford studio\, including “Lovers” and “Horses/Divorces.” \nTheir second album\, Tougher Than The Rest\, marks a step forward for the band with a darker\, more atmospheric sound\, full of eerie riffs and ethereal vocals. The record evokes the feeling of a long night filled with the strange and random events we have all experienced\, expanding their sonic identity while maintaining their dreamlike intensity. \nThe band will take over Curveball (upstairs the Button Factory) in Dublin for the first time. Local Irish band support: TBA. Don’t miss out! \n(Show + 18\, refunds only if cancelled or postponed) Presented by live tonite

SUMMARY:Nicotine Dolls
DESCRIPTION:Nicotine Dolls make the kind of music you can’t hide from. The storytelling is front-and-center\, beckoning your attention like a dusty old novel you can’t put down until the last page. The vocals are gritty and honest\, holding nothing back in fits of joy\, regret\, and sadness similar to a phone call from one of your best friends at 3am. The instrumentation is equally punchy and nuanced\, grafting rafter-reaching hooks on top of rich soundscapes. The moment the Nicotine Dolls – led by Sam Cieri [vocals]\, John Merritt [bass]\, and Abel Tabares [drums] – hit that first note\, the air shifts. A wave of collection emotion that doesn’t ask permission just hits you. \nCieri started Nicotine Dolls in New York after a winding path that stretched from leaving high school to make music\, to South Florida bars\, to Vegas gigs\, to eventually landing a Broadway tour. The stage paid the bills\, but songwriting was always the compass. As he wrote and shaped the sound\, the band solidified around a shared vision rooted in honesty\, tension\, longing\, and the courage to say the quiet things out loud. \nSince forming in 2019\, Nicotine Dolls have built a fiercely loyal fanbase through relentless creativity and intimate connection. Their breakout single “What Makes You Sad” has earned nearly 20 million Spotify streams\, and their cover of Tina Turner’s “The Best” is approaching 30 million streams. Collectively\, their catalog has more than 80 million streams and they’ve developed a massive digital community with more than 1.8 million followers on TikTok and over a million on Instagram. \nNicotine Dolls have released a series of self-penned and produced singles and EPs\, along with their 2025 debut LP “an Attempt at Romantic.” The band have been hailed by SPIN for their “vulnerability and determination\,” calling Cieri a “charismatic\, gravelly-throated powerhouse with the rasp of Bruce Springsteen and the emotion of Lewis Capaldi.”

SUMMARY:Sam Tompkins
DESCRIPTION:When you hear Sam Tompkins’ heartfelt and cathartic second album\, Are We Gonna Sing?\, you’ll feel as though you’re in the room with him. This is very much by design. “A lot of it was recorded live\, which is why my vocals sound the way they do – they’re not too polished or covered in reverb\,” says the Brighton-based singer-songwriter. “I’m never afraid of including the odd imperfection because I think that’s where the feeling lies.”

SUMMARY:Darren Kiely
DESCRIPTION:Darren Kiely’s journey with music has always been driven by something pure. When he picked up a guitar for the first time as a teenager in a small town in Co. Cork\, he did so with the hopes of simply being able to play along to the songs he loved. As he sharpened his skills\, he started to push himself further\, setting himself new challenges – learn a full cover\, play a gig\, then\, eventually\, see if he could write his own song. Throughout this years-long process\, passion and natural curiosity spurred him on. “It was never like\, ‘I’m gonna do this full time’ or ‘I want to play stadiums’\,” he recalls. “It was just one thing led to the next challenge or the next step.” \nIt’s that mindset that has led Kiely to his current position – one of the first artists to be signed to Sony Music Nashville’s non-country imprint\, Free Flight Records\, and winning legions of fans with his emotionally rich\, folk-infused music. Putting out his own music\, though\, wasn’t necessarily always on the cards for the 28-year-old. \nIn 2022\, having gradually built his way up to performing covers gigs at functions and weddings\, he was at a point where he could comfortably make a living – an enviable position\, but one that didn’t leave him fully satisfied. “Somewhere along the path\, I was like\, ‘I don’t want to play cover gigs forever\, but I do want to see if people will listen to my music’\,” he says. \nHe describes writing his own music as something of an emotional awakening. “A lot of the time\, I felt like I was drifting through life\, not really thinking about things\,” he explains. “When you write it down or make a recording and listen back to it\, it really hits you in a way where it’s almost like you’re discovering things about yourself\, but talking to yourself as well.” \nMaking the move into penning his own material was fueled by a feeling that he not only had something to say\, but that there was a value in what he wanted to express\, too. “In the music I listened to growing up\, there were loads of things I learned about myself and about life\,” Kiely says. “But I also thought\, ‘There’s some songs that have never talked about this\, or my experiences\, or how I view things.” \nSo far\, the Irish musician has proved himself right. Across his releases so far\, he’s shared a fresh perspective on timeless tales of making amends to those you’ve hurt but have stuck by you (‘Mom & Dad’) and self-doubt (‘How Could You Love Me’)\, and opened up about subjects rarely broached in music. ‘Avalon’ is a case in point for the latter – a rousing piece of folk-rock that explores the musician’s relationship with his home country and why he felt he had to leave.   “This will always be my home / I see fields of green\,” he sings. “But I can’t find a place to grow / Or the light.” \nThese days\, Kiely is based in Nashville\, but first left Ireland for New York in 2019. It was there he stumbled into playing gigs – an experience cut short by the pandemic\, which sent him back home. Once the borders re-opened\, he headed back to NYC to pick up where he left off\, securing a desk job at an accounting firm but his focus firmly on developing his artistry. “It’s a really tough place and it toughened me up an awful lot\,” he says of his time in the city. “I just got used to grafting and getting beat up a little bit by the place and coming back for more. Music’s like that – there’s a lot of great things\, but in between them\, there’s a lot of times where you’re like\, ‘Alright\, I have to go again and again’. It’s like you’re trying to write a song and it’s not as good as you want it to be\, but you have to go again.” \nAs much as New York taught him\, though\, it also left him yearning for something – a community and scene of like-minded musicians to grow and learn with. So\, in 2023\, he upped sticks to Nashville after hearing about the songwriting scene in the city. What Kiely has found since making the move is not only keeping him productive and creative\, but also aligns with his original ethos when he was first learning to play guitar. “I’m a very small fish in a big pond here\,” he smiles. “I like that. If I’m around who I think are the best\, I can try and learn a little bit from them and try and get a little bit better.” \nYou can hear that commitment to growth across his catalogue so far\, from debut single ‘How Could You Love Me’ – which landed a place on Ireland’s top 50 viral charts – to his 2023 debut EP\, ‘Lost’. The latter depicted its creator’s search for his place in both music and the world around him\, pushing through imposter syndrome and moments of uncertainty. The key to the record – its successor\, 2024’s ‘From The Dark’ EP – isn’t the moments of darkness\, though\, but the hope that lingers throughout the songs. “There’s probably a few songs that don’t have too much hope\, but there’s a tinge of it everywhere because I don’t want to wallow in anything or make things overly negative\,” he reasons. “For me\, there is that little bit of hope in every situation.” \nKiely’s upcoming music continues his knack for making distinctive folk-pop with something to say. ‘Find It In You’\, a driving\, uplifting song that finds him reassuring a partner who’s not ready for a relationship that he’ll wait for them: “Whenever your walls fall down and it’s love that you need / I hope you can find it in you to find it in me\,” he shares.  The contemplative ‘Married On My Phone’ deals with the relatable experience of witnessing someone you used to know going through big life milestones via your phone screen. “I saw someone I knew from years ago had got married via Instagram and I was just thinking\, ‘Isn’t it crazy that you see significant events of people you’ve lost touch with [like this]?’ What happens if\, one day\, you end up seeing the person in your current relationship get married on Instagram?” For Kiely\, that song is so different to anything he’s written before – and intentionally so: “I just wanted to hit the nail on the head of all the modern things I don’t really like.” \n‘Old And Grey’\, meanwhile\, harks back to his youth of playing traditional Irish music – experiences that still occasionally peek through in his music today. Midway through\, it surges with a swell of group vocals\, intertwining with a melancholy fiddle melody to create something poignant and powerful. “I don’t sing Irish folk songs really\, but I wanted to have a song that feels like it could be playing in a pub back home\, and I really want to play that fiddle part live\,” he says. \nThese songs are a testament to an artist who has always refused to get complacent or let his music become stagnant. They expand his sonic tapestry\, pushing him into new pockets of sound while keeping his core DNA intact. “I’m not a band that has the same sound for every song\,” he says. “It can sound like different things. That’s one thing that I think has changed in how I’m writing music now – it’s me\, but there’s a different sound. I think that’s important.” \nNo matter how much success Kiely has achieved so far – from gaining traction from his early self-released singles to a recent sold-out headline tour – he’s remaining true to those pure intentions he started out with. As he continues to push himself forward and give himself new challenges\, his ambitions are staying humble. “I just want to sing songs that I believe in\,” he says. “Songs that people can sense that I care about them and what I’m singing is really authentic and honest.”

SUMMARY:SOFY
DESCRIPTION:SOFY exists in the gaps between genres. \nTaking the tension of trip-hop\, the immediacy of Britpop and the edge of garage rock\, she has built a sound that feels unmistakably her own. It’s witty\, melodic and uncompromising. \nLong before her first official release\, SOFY’s demos were already earning spins on BBC Radio 1 and drawing praise from Arlo Parks\, Sam Fender and Yungblud. Within a year\, the Leicester-born songwriter was playing Glastonbury Festival and landing on the EA Sports FC soundtrack\, marking the start of a relentless three-year run that saw her release two EPs and two full-length mixtapes\, all while remaining fiercely independent. \nThat momentum fuelled sold-out headline shows\, major festival main stages\, and support slots alongside Liam Gallagher and Sabrina Carpenter. This summer\, she opens for Kasabian and The Libertines ahead of the release of her debut album\, How To Perform Magic\, in September. It is her most experimental and vulnerable work to date. \nDescribed by Dork as ‘the voice of a generation… a much-needed messiah for the messy’\, SOFY stands as one of the most compelling new voices in British guitar music.

SUMMARY:Brian Horgan
DESCRIPTION:Singer-songwriter Brian Horgan hails from Enniscorthy\, the town of Colm Tobin\, Vinegar Hill\, Eileen Grey and Annie Jameson (mother to the inventor of the radio; Marconi) the River Slaney and the 10th Century historic Norman castle. \nBrian’s debut album ‘Start Again’ is rooted in the place where he grew up. He’s taught English in Europe\, worked as the Development Director in Dublin’s Abbey Theatre and has been involved in Music/Theatre/Arts all around the globe. He is also CX Director at the CX Academy and owner of Horgan Consultancy. \nHe’s home again\, for now. Not quite starting again but taking a step back and reflecting. Releasing the album he always thought he could\, and should. His songwriting and music are instinctive and well-received\, with people asking if he had anything on record? \nBrian’s passion is to sing\, to write\, to perform something unique. Something all his own. Personal\, most certainly\, but also connective and relatable. The thoughts and the sometimes travails of a lived experience. His listeners are in his songs. \nBrian’s played live with his band in sold-out shows at The Sugar Club\, No. 10 Ormond Quay\, Smock Alley\, Bewleys Café Theatre and The Abbey Theatre. Also in New York City as an invited guest performer of the New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA). \nHe’s no ‘Small Voice’\, he isn’t a balladeer in the corner of your local. Not your typical ‘Singer/Songwriter’ in the typical fashion. (Much as we all love that…) There’s a bit more to Brian Horgan. He’s taken this long to create ‘Start Again’\, thought a great deal about it. He’s where it has led him and we’re invited along. \nBrian Horgan says\, “It is all simply a journey of love and experience even (or especially) in its difficult moments”.

SUMMARY:Cassius
DESCRIPTION:Like a symbol. What better way to rekindle the Cassius flame than with the Paris 2024 Olympic Games? After the tragic death of Philippe ‘Zdar’ Cerboneschi in June 2019\, the flame is burning brightly again thanks to the determination of Hubert ‘BoomBass’ Blanc-Francard\, the other member of the duo\, to revive this legendary name in the French Touch. And not just on 8 September during the Closing Ceremony of the Para Olympic Games\, the first appearance of this reinvented Cassius. The trigger for this genuine reconstruction came during the many DJ sets Hubert has performed in France and abroad in trio with his two accomplices Étienne de Crécy and Falcon over the last few months. The audience’s rapturous reactions when he played Cassius‘ hits (’Feeling For You’\, “I’m a Woman”\, “I <3 U SO” among others) convinced him that the story couldn’t end there. With the certainty that a name that still resonates on dancefloors the world over should not be allowed to fade away\, BoomBass is launching Cassius’ comeback at the end of 2024. With the release of a Best-Of on 11 October and the first Cassius Club date a few days earlier\, on 9 October at the Rex Club in Paris. This concept will soon be extended to dancefloors the world over\, where Hubert will be surrounded by his many friends as well as new talent. And there’s more surprises in store for 2025. We can’t wait. The baseline ‘Cassius rockin’ non-stop since 1999’ is back in vogue.

SUMMARY:Arlo Parks
DESCRIPTION:London-born Arlo Parks won the Mercury Music Prize for her debut 2021 album Collapsed in Sunbeams\, won Breakthrough Artist at the 2021 Brit Awards\, and received two Grammy and Ivor Novello nominations. She was coined “the voice of her generation”. Her follow up My Soft Machine featured the likes of Phoebe Bridges and saw her continue to tour globally. 2025 saw her become the youngest ever appointed UNICEF Ambassador as she continues her humanitarian work. 2026 sees the release of her much anticipated third album Ambiguous Desire. Referencing everything from the queer hedonism of NYC’s Paradise Garage to the moody nocturnal British beats of The Streets and Burial\,the glittering synth catharsis of LCD Soundsystem\, and rooted house grooves of Theo Parrish\, Ambiguous Desire is Parks at her most confident and experimental. A soundtrack to unguarded self-expression\, it is a life-affirming new piece of work from one of music’s most irrepressible voices. \nCatch Arlo at The Ambassador Theatre October 17th\, 2026.

SUMMARY:Melanie C
DESCRIPTION:A bold\, uplifting anthem about resilience and inner strength\, ‘Undefeated Champion’ continues the joyful\, club-ready spirit of the Sweat era while delivering one of Melanie’s most empowering messages yet. Speaking about the new single\, Melanie C says: “‘Undefeated Champion’ is about getting knocked down and choosing to rise every single time. It’s a reminder that the hardest moments are the ones that make us stronger. It’s faith over fear\, joy in the face of adversity – almost challenging the universe: ‘come and have a go if you think you’re hard enough!’ At its core\, it’s about realising we’re far more resilient than we think.” \nThe release arrives alongside the announcement of The Melanie C World Tour\, a global run of shows set to bring the high-energy spirit of Sweat to fans around the world\, including a headline show at the O2 Academy Brixton on October 23rd\, 2026. Known for her electrifying live performances\, Melanie will celebrate both her pop legacy and her evolution as a DJ\, delivering a set that blends euphoric dancefloor energy with the iconic hits that have defined her career. Fans will have multiple opportunities to secure tickets in pre-sales and the general sale which will go live on Friday\, March 20th\, 2026 @ 10am local time. Full tour dates and ticket details below. \nBefore she became Mel C of the Spice Girls\, she was Melanie Chisholm of “The F**king Yeah Four”\, a group of 18-year-old friends dancing through the Costa Brava rave scene in the early ’90s. Those nights of breakbeats\, sweat and freedom would shape her forever. Decades later\, Melanie C channels that same raw energy into Sweat – her ninth studio album and most euphoric record to date. Recorded between London\, Stockholm and LA\, Sweat is a celebration of joy\, movement and community – a fusion of Melanie C’s pop legacy and her more recent evolution as a DJ. “I’ve done a lot of soul-searching\,” she says. “Now I just want to have some fun and get people dancing again.” \nThe new single lands amid a standout period for Melanie C. Recent highlights include headline performances and appearances at ABC Sydney New Year’s Eve\, New York’s Jingle Ball\, appearances on The Kelly Clarkson Show and Good Morning America\, plus viral moments alongside global pop phenomenon KATSEYE. Melanie was recently named Apple Music’s featured artist for their ‘Music That Moves Me’ playlist series\, as part of their January fitness activation.

SUMMARY:Talia Rae
DESCRIPTION:Praised by publications including Dork\, Noctis Magazine\, and 1883 Magazine for her commanding voice\, emotional depth\, and effortless magnetism\, UK singer-songwriter Talia Rae enters a defining new era with her forthcoming EP Julia\, arriving June 5\, 2026 via Glassnote Records. Blending smoky soul\, cinematic pop\, and diaristic songwriting\, Rae has quickly become one of the UK’s most exciting emerging artists: equally captivating for her timeless style and emotionally raw storytelling. Expanding on the intimate songwriting of her 2024 debut EP Shadows\, Julia is her most personal work to date\, exploring love\, identity\, family\, and emotional vulnerability with striking honesty and understated glamour. At the heart of the project are deeply personal songs including “If I Were Your Mother\,” dedicated to her mother\, and the title track “Julia\,” written to herself from the perspective of her father. \n  \nThe EP has been introduced through a run of standout singles including “Blind in Love\,” “Blue\,” and the intoxicating “Euphoria\,” produced by Bailey Hopton and co-written with Max Wolfgang. Across the project\, Rae pairs lush\, late-night production with intimate lyricism and a distinctly British sensibility\, channeling influences like Amy Winehouse while carving out a world entirely her own. Born and raised in Essex and trained at the Sylvia Young Theatre School\, Rae has already performed at major venues and festivals including BST Hyde Park supporting Stevie Nicks\, Latitude Festival\, The Great Escape\, Royal Albert Hall\, and a sold-out headline show at Rae’s OMEARA. Following her acclaimed collaboration “Plus & Minus” with David Gray\, including a performance on Later… with Jools Holland and a UK tour together\, Rae will join James Morrison on tour throughout the summer of 2026\, culminating June 4 at Eventim Apollo in London\, the night before the release of Julia.

SUMMARY:Elder Island
DESCRIPTION:Following last month’s sold out return to the stage in London and Bristol\, where fans were given a \nfirst glimpse of forthcoming album Hello Baby Okay\, Elder Island share new single ‘Letters’\, out 8th April via !K7. \n\nThe band also announced a headline tour\, marking a full return to the stage. The run kicks off in \nCardiff on 21st October\, with stops in Dublin\, Glasgow\, Leeds\, Manchester\, Brighton\, Bristol and \nLondon\, including a show at London’s iconic KOKO. \n\nRecently selected by Elton John for his Apple Music show Rocket Hour\, the fourth single from the \nforthcoming album\, ‘Letters’ sees the Bristol trio take a more introspective turn. Expansive and slow \nburning in its progression\, the track unfolds through layered instrumentation\, expressive vocals and a \nsteady\, chugging rhythm that carries it forward. There is a cinematic quality to its world building\, \ndrawing on fragments of science fiction and folk imagery\, all threaded through the feeling of a long\, \nopen-ended road trip. \n\nBuilt around a driving low end groove and analogue led production\, much of the track was shaped \nusing the Dave Smith / Roger Linn Tempest\, before being expanded with Rhodes and guitar. The \nresult is a quintessential Elder Island composition\, immersive\, detailed and emotionally resonant\, \nbalancing rhythmic momentum with a sense of space and restraint.

SUMMARY:Brandon Flowers
DESCRIPTION:For twenty years\, Flowers has been a fixture of the global music landscape\, yet Thrasher finds him pulling back the curtain on a chapter long kept secret: his formative years in small-town Utah. Moving away from the “big and shiny fantasy” of Las Vegas\, the new album explores the “Country-Western” traditions that soundtracked his youth in Nephi—a world of honky-tonk ragers\, highway rambles\, and winsome ballads. \n“I’ve been keeping the secret of my upbringing\,” Flowers says. “As I’ve gotten older\, I’ve found my way back to my father’s music and discovered that the stories I carry feel most at home in the skin of this beautiful American tradition.” \nRecorded in Nashville over a whirlwind three weeks\, Thrasher was produced by Shawn Everett and Jonathan Rado. The sessions featured an elite group of Nashville pros\, ranging in age from their thirties to eighties\, including local legends like David Rawlings (guitar)\, Bruce Bouton (pedal steel)\, and 85-year-old Charlie McCoy\, the legendary harmonica player known for his work with Bob Dylan. \nThe recording process favoured raw\, live takes—a method Flowers hadn’t utilized since the earliest days of his career. “It was one of the highlights of my recording career\,” he recalls. “There was so much experience and competence in the room. I didn’t want it to end.” \nFans at 3Olympia Theatre can expect a setlist featuring new tracks like the loping\, pedal-steel-drenched “Does It Ever Cross Your Mind\,” the haunting “Miss America\,” and the phantasmagoric finale “An American Dream\,” alongside selections from his celebrated solo discography including Flamingo and The Desired Effect. \nBrandon Flowers is a world-renowned singer and songwriter. As a solo artist\, he has released two chart-topping albums\, Flamingo (2010) and The Desired Effect (2015). His third album\, Thrasher\, marks a career-defining shift toward Americana and storytelling\, rooted in his upbringing in rural Utah and recorded with legendary session musicians in Nashville.

SUMMARY:Asher White
DESCRIPTION:Today\, Asher White\, the 25-year-old NYC-by-way-of-Rhode Island polymath behind some of the most inventive\, singular music in recent years\, announces her first ever run of UK/EU tour dates for Autumn 2026. Running through October and November 2026\, the shows take White across the UK and Ireland\, including a stop at Pitchfork London. \nIt marks the culmination of a prolific period following the release of her latest album 8 Tips For Full Catastrophe Living via Joyful Noise. The album has been widely praised for its fearless genre collision and conceptual scope\, with outlets including Pitchfork\, Rolling Stone\, NPR and Stereogum highlighting White’s distinctive creative voice. \n8 Tips For Full Catastrophe Living unfolds as a fractured self-help guide\, blending doom metal\, bossa nova\, power pop and industrial techno into a series of sonic collages. Across the record\, White explores themes of emotional collapse\, survival\, and absurdity in modern life\, delivered through surreal character studies and shifting musical forms. \nHer recent work has also included a full-length reimagining of Jessica Pratt’s debut album\, which received praise for its expansive reinterpretation of the original material\, as well as new single Nightingale Version (Sailor’s Moon)\, further showcasing her evolving songwriting and experimental approach. \n“White has a talent for melding elements that ought to sound out of place together\, instead making them seem right at home.”\nPitchfork \n“Younger artists have been obliterating genres for years\, but few can keep you guessing or leave you wanting more quite like Asher White.”\nNPR \n“Asher White is an Alex G-level prolific talent… it still feels like we’re only at the beginning of Asher White’s story.”\nStereogum

SUMMARY:Alex Cameron
DESCRIPTION:Singular Artists proudly present Alex Cameron “Late To Set” Live In Concert\, at the Button Factory\, Dublin on Thursday\, 29 October 2026. \n\nAlex Cameron announces new concept album Late To Set – his fifth studio album – as well as an upcoming US and European Tour. \n\nLate To Set\, according to Alex Cameron\, was “recorded on an avocado ranch in California after LA started burning in January 2025.” \n\nProduction credits include Mark Perkins\, Zach Dawes and Maxim Ludwig among others. \nSome lines\, couplets and quatrains from the album: \n\n“I put on a tonne of weight/For a role I didn’t get/Aye/Now I’m always late for set” \n“You 3D print a guillotine/And then you tear the statue down” \n“Every puddle needs a drop of rain/Everybody needs a little pain” \n“I ordered a hooker to my home/And I yelled at my family/I have seen the childhood drain/From my own son’s face” \n“Jesus never had no doctor/He never had Covid-19/He never voted for Obama/And he never had no vaccine” \n“I’ve been selling your location for cash” \n“I am a violent man” \n– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –  \nLate to Set Tracklist: \n01 No Soldier \n02 Statue Down \n03 Stand-in Man \n04 Testosterone in Blue \n05 Jesus Never Had No Porno \n06 Ricochet \n07 No Guns Come Alone \n08 Red Hook Rain \n09 Violent Man \n\n– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –  \n\nALBUM BIO  \n\nI. \nIn New York City on his thirteenth birthday\, planes fell from the sky and crashed into the World Trade Center. This had nothing to do with Alex Cameron. He wasn’t there. He was in Australia. By the time the planes hit\, it wasn’t even 9/11 anymore. It was 9/12. \n\nThis has been the secret rhythm of his art. One day ahead of a most terrible\, but inevitable truth. \n\nII. \nAlex Cameron’s new album is called “Late to Set.” “Late to Set” was born of 9 forgotten long form screenplays written between the year 2022 and 2025. Rejected by the studios\, lost to the LA wildfires\, the charred remains fragmented and saved in songs of deep confusion and regret. \n\nIII. \n“Late to Set” is Al’s fifth album. Production credits include Mark Perkins\, Zach Dawes and Maxim Ludwig among others. \n\nIV. \nAl once told me that a lie is never funny\, but the truth is always funny. \n\nV. \nThe album was completed on an avocado ranch in California after LA started burning in January 2025. \n\nVI. \nThis is the world our fathers feared. “What a joy!” says Al. \n\nVII. \nThe dissection of art is murder. Vivisection is the dissection of something while it’s still alive. You do that to something you don’t believe has a soul. \n\nVIII. \nREDACTED \n\nIX. \n\nSome lines\, couplets and quatrains \n\n“I put on a tonne of weight/For a role I didn’t get/Aye/Now I’m always late for set” \n“You 3D print a guillotine/And then you tear the statue down” \n“Every puddle needs a drop of rain/Everybody needs a little pain” \n“I ordered a hooker to my home/And I yelled at my family/I have seen the childhood drain/From my own son’s face” \n“Jesus never had no doctor/He never had Covid-19/He never voted for Obama/And he never had no vaccine” \n“I’ve been selling your location for cash” \n“I am a violent man” \n\nX. \nI once read a book called Demonic Males: Apes and the Origins of Human Violence by Dale Peterson and Richard Wrangham. It’s about the differences between bonobos and chimpanzees. If you throw an empty cardboard box into a room full of bonobos\, they’ll all fuck each other silly and generously share the box. If you throw that same box into a room full of chimps\, they’ll kill and kill and kill until the last one gets the box. We share 99% of our DNA with both. \n\nAl once told me that a lie is never funny\, but the truth is always funny.
