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: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: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: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:Nick Hakim
DESCRIPTION:Nick Hakim sits somewhere between an analytical philosopher\, mystic poet\, and abstract painter. To hear him speak of music is to encounter someone who fully understands its power\, who has been moved by its magic and seen its miracles. He’s devoted to music as both an ancient artform and eternal medicine. To hear him play music is to feel these truisms in live time. It’s a spirit that the New York-based songwriter has carried in his music—both as composer and collaborator. From early LPs like 2017’s Green Twins and 2020’s Will This Make Me Good\, to his new album\, I Can See\, Hakim has pursued the truth in every note he’s written\, every lyric he’s sung. His truth\, though\, is more akin to the abstract and intangible than the factual—more Borges than George Washington. It’s a cosmic assuredness that manifests throughout I Can See; a belief that the good in the universe is good for a reason. \nI Can See is a defining statement from an artist who has yet to put out a record that is anything but. And yet\, Nick Hakim’s fourth solo LP is a different experience than his previous efforts. It’s bolder\, stronger\, more confident. Hakim is more intimately attuned to his vision\, and there’s not a note on the album that’s out of place. Nick Hakim might shudder at anyone calling him a healer\, but this is certainly music for healing\, for taking a breath and facing the world with confidence\, lucidity\, and joy.

SUMMARY:Stop Making Sense Live!
DESCRIPTION:Singular Artists proudly present Stop Making Sense – Live for a headline show in The Button Factory\, Dublin on Saturday\, 28 November 2026. \n\nTickets are available from singularartists.ie on Friday\, 15 May at 10am. \nOn 19th October 1984\, Talking Heads and Jonathan Demme released the greatest concert movie of all time. \nLast year\, Slippery People recreated ‘Stop Making Sense’ live on stage at Gorilla in the city of Manchester. The show was an overwhelming success with an incredible online response from the audience which led to the band announcing follow up shows in Albert Hall where they played to over 3\,000 people on both nights. Now they’re bringing this to Dublin. \nSinger Duncan Wallis of indie-pop favourites Dutch Uncles dons the famous big suit\, dances with the lamp\, plays along with the ghetto blaster as the rest of the band not only bring the music to life but also the iconic choreography\, all played out in front of the big screen. \nThe film was like no other concert-movie that had come before – for one\, the viewer doesn’t see the audience until the final song. But what really makes Stop Making Sense stand out is the form it takes. David Byrne walking on stage armed only with a guitar and a beatbox performs ‘Psycho Killer’ solo. He’s joined by bass player Tina Weymouth for the ballad ‘Heaven’ and then drummer Chris Frantz for ‘Thank You For Sending Me An Angel’ with Jerry Harrison completing the founding line-up of the band for the staccato ‘Found A Job’. \nBut this is where Talking Heads are just getting warmed up. \nEach song brings new members on to the stage; a percussionist\, backing singers\, virtuoso funk guitarist Alex Weir and the great Bernie Worrell with his signature synth sound that elevates the whole show beyond that of a normal rock concert and into the stratosphere. \nSadly the tour which preceded ‘Stop Making Sense’ was the last from the band and fans have been unable to see the magic that was made on that night in 1984 live. There have been reissues of the concert film\, which received a cinematic release in 2023\, and solo runs from David Byrne\, perhaps most notably his ‘American Utopia’ tour but Talking Heads never reunited to play together. \nAnd so Slippery People\, the band consisting of 10 members\, will play all of the Talking Heads songs featured in the film. From ‘Psycho Killer’ to ‘Burning Down The House’ to ‘Once In A Lifetime’ and everything in between. \n\nThey have a tape they’d like to play for you\, and everyone is getting involved.

SUMMARY:Martin Luke Brown
DESCRIPTION:“Start\, middle\, end\, start again.” Martin Luke Brown sings like it’s nothing on ‘highest high’\, but after a while\, we all come to realise that really\, that’s all there is. \nThere’s life\, and there’s death but in the middle\, there’s everything. There’s friendship\, love\, good kisses\, nights out you do or don’t remember\, meals shared\, flats rented. For Martin specifically\, the “etc.” is an amalgamation of hours aimlessly jamming with housemates\, new loves after lost ones\, and cars breaking down like ridiculous comedic relief in the chaos of it all. In an artistic world so obsessed with the extremes on either side\, his third album\, life & death etc refuses to wait for a moment of grandeur\, but instead finds them in the movement of it all – asking us to consider that what are maybe the most profound moments of our lives are often the simplest; conversations around dinner tables or time spent goofing around. \nAfter leaving behind the major label world and reinventing his career into one that allows him to live and work as much as possible with friends\, his artistry too exists right there. For this new release\, he once again returned to working with one of his best friends Matt Zara\, staying true to their partnership that is really little more than “hanging out\, playing music and whatever happens\, happens.” \nFrom that room\, where these two childhood friends seamlessly weave between harmonising and arguing\, stress and laughter\, work and play – the entire energy of life & death etc is encapsulated. \n“I think two people having fun\, especially being shit at something together\, is actually so much more magical\,” he said. Though himself and Grammy-nominated Zara are anything but “shit”\, it’s all in the motivation of the studio\, caring less about technicality as opposed to feel. As he’s moved through his career\, witnessing the industry at basically every level\, Martin finds himself becoming far less interested in proficiency. \nInstead\, it all lies in the energy\, reuniting him with his core belief of what music is all about. Growing up in the church with hymns and a community singing them\, Martin said “When people go to their first gigs people are singing along\, and there’s that euphoric feeling of ‘oh\, we’re all together’\, I had that in church. I think I misconstrued the power of music with the power of God. Or maybe it’s always been God all along\, who knows. ” \n  \nBut there was a take away from that. Going back to the very root of what music is for\, his latest work is inspired by music made by people for people. He said\, “it’s service orientated – I want to make music that serves people in some way.” \nIt drew him to another key influence that stayed on repeat during the making of the record – the infectiously human ‘Do I Ever Cross Your Mind’ by Chet Atkins and Dolly Parton\, a country ditty that collapses into laughter. “It’s goofy and silly and it makes people feel good and makes them want to dance around\,” he said\, ”But there’s sentimentality there\, a subtle depth. I think that’s such a good example of what music can be – joyous but still meaningful. Especially in times like these\, happiness or hope feel like an act of rebellion” \nIt hasn’t been long since we last heard from Martin. His previous record\, man oh man ! arrived just over a year ago\, but he’d grown sick of the strange\, stunting delay musicians have to live with. “I’m always keen to keep moving. It makes it easier to be in alignment with who I really am\, rather than festering in an old feeling for too long\,” Martin said\, rejecting the typical wait that forces artists to be promoting some old version of themselves. Deciding to simply make something new when the moment seemed to call for it\, he’s realised the value of immediacy and capturing the present. \n“I think if I zoom forward to when I’m like 80\, and I’m looking back at all the music I’ve ever done\, I would love each album to be time capsules of that time in my life\,” he said\, treating the records like photo albums\, or fleeting snapshots to feel and let go. “It’s such a dense time\, each year right now deserves an album at least” \nAcross all corners of his life\, that’s a mindset he’s practicing. “I think holding things loosely is such an important life skill\,” he said\, “whenever you grip on to something tightly it doesn’t serve anything. It doesn’t serve the thing that you’re holding on to. It just strangles it\, like poor fucking Lenny from of mice & men hahah” \nlife & death etc\, despite dealing with dense themes of heartbreak\, grief and purpose\, practices a loose grip – hence the flippancy of the title. “Yes my heart took a beating\, but it’s beating nonetheless\,” he sings on ‘nonetheless’\, refusing to grip white-knuckled to pain but instead surrendering to the heartache moving through him and the fact that life will move on despite it. On ‘back of my mind’\, he lets past loves linger as a whisper as it does exactly that\, singing\, “you’re not in my life no more\, but you’re still in the back of my mind.” At the album’s end\, ‘unlearning everything’ serves as both an elegy and a mission statement\, concluding simply “it’s right there in front of my eyes” as a devotion to simply witnessing and feeling the present as all there really is. \n“I think my flow is just writing and putting it out and writing and putting it out and writing and putting it out. Not overly editing or filtering or performing\, because that’s exhausting” he said. Across his three records\, his diary-like lyrical tone that serves that state best has been developing\, but never has it been more candid than here. \nDevoted to making music that sounds like him\, capturing tiny personal moments and somehow turning them into universal experiences\, Martin doesn’t shy away from wanting to bring us all together “That feeling you get at a show or a rave or church or a festival – that euphoria of feeling like you belong\, I want to spend my whole life in that feeling.” \nBOILERPLATE: \nThere’s life\, there’s death\, but everything else exists right here\, in the beautiful middle. After a while\, we all come to realise that really\, that’s all there is. In this new era\, Martin Luke Brown is drinking it all in. \nAfter years of navigating the industry from every angle\, the artist is rejecting rules\, structures and expectations to instead reunite with the community roots of what music is all about. Creating music and living life as “service orientated”\, he’s making art that exists as a time capsule of his own life. Leaving the edges rough and unedited as a show of devotion to the idea that what is most human is most universal. \nAsking us repeatedly to consider that perhaps the most profound moments are the ones right in front of us; the dinner table conversations\, the jokes with friends\, the hazy nights out\, Martin Luke Brown is now at his most candid\, and his most captivating.

SUMMARY:Ariel Posen
DESCRIPTION:For Ariel Posen\, songwriting and guitar playing have always gone hand-in-hand. He has spent a decade building a bridge between those two worlds\, balancing his work as an acclaimed instrumentalist\, including collaborations with artists ranging from John Mayer to Tom Jones\, with solo albums rooted in melody and autobiographical storytelling. The result is a career that is every bit as diverse as his music. With performances at Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival\, his own Fender Stratocaster signature model\, and a powerful voice that matches his fretwork\, Posen continues to explore uncharted territory\, blurring the lines between genre and generation along the way. \nHis latest album\, Bannatyne\, sees Posen return to the place where everything began. Named after an avenue in his hometown of Winnipeg\, Manitoba\, the record reflects on the past while embracing the future\, combining larger-than-life guitar riffs and 1990s rock influences with the groove-driven textures and sonic exploration that have become hallmarks of his work. \n  \n“This is an album about coming home\,” says Posen. “It’s about looking back and appreciating where you come from\, even as you’re heading somewhere new.” \nCo-produced alongside longtime collaborator Murray Pulver\, Bannatyne is a powerful statement from an artist continually evolving his craft. The album features guest appearances from City and Colour and Kathleen Edwards\, while showcasing the dynamic songwriting\, expressive guitar work and emotional honesty that have defined Posen’s solo career. \nFollowing acclaimed releases including How Long\, Headway\, Reasons Why and the instrumental Mile End series\, Bannatyne finds Posen embracing a rawer and more instinctive approach. \n“Every record is the sound of me finding myself\, more and more\,” he says. “I’m not just a songwriter and I’m not just a guitarist. I’m both of those things.” \nRenowned for his electrifying live performances\, Posen has earned praise from audiences and critics alike\, with Rolling Stone describing him as “a modern-day guitar hero.” \nFans can expect an evening of masterful musicianship\, compelling storytelling and songs drawn from across his celebrated catalogue when he arrives at Whelan’s next February.
