SUMMARY:Arab Strap
DESCRIPTION:Arab Strap announce new album Half-Told Tales – Released 4th September via Rock Action Records \nShare new single You You You \n  \nWith a rose in my fist\,\nand a song in my lungs\,\nI reach for a hand\,\nand I’ve got you\, you\, you. \nPhoto: Luke Bovill \nArab Strap’s new album Half-Told Tales\, the group’s ninth\, will arrive almost three decades to the day since their first single was released. “We’re thirty years old this year\,” says the duo\, “So we decided to celebrate by doing what we enjoy most: by making new music.” \nThe band have never sounded more relevant on the state-of-affairs lead single ‘You You You’\, a track that bubbles to life sounding like some long-lost killer Italo disco record – with Moffat’s vocal refrain of the song’s title creating one of the most outright melodically infectious songs the band have ever made – and that’s before Malcolm Middleton’s punchy and spiralling guitar lines burst through it. The result is something that feels like an entirely new genre. “A sort of disco-metal incantation\,” suggests Moffat. “With a message of future felicity and fellowship that – fingers crossed – might make you dance and giggle too.” \nLyrically\, the song is emblematic of some of the themes on the album. “‘You You You’ is an attempt to remind ourselves\, and hopefully others\, that the world’s not full of awful people\,” says Moffat. “That there are millions of us out there dealing with the same worries every day: from the rising costs of absolutely everything\, our mental and physical health\, the constant slaughter and tyranny in our newsfeeds\, to playing an unwitting part in the military-industrial complex\, and the endless warping of reality. It can often feel like a complete absence of human decency – it’s no wonder that despondency can feel like our default disposition.” However\, while the song digs into these troubles and tumultuous times\, it does so with a purpose. “It was designed as a kind of invocation\,” says Moffat. “To bring forth the stubbornly elusive spirits of hope and solidarity.” \nThe push-pull dynamic that exists in such songs – where grooving\, fluid beats nestle up against rip-roaring guitars – is reflective of the back and forth approach the band have during the songwriting process. “The excitement comes because me and Aidan like and hate different things\,” says Middleton. “There are things in the record that individually we might not choose but that’s why I like this album so much\, because it’s not the one I wanted to make. I don’t think it’s what Aidan wanted to make either\, it’s this bit in the middle. It might not be 100% what we want but it’s good for the band\, and it works.” \nArab Strap have also announced a new tour for the Autumn including a visit to Eastern Europe.

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:James Joyce Centre Walking Tours
DESCRIPTION:Guides from the James Joyce Centre take you through Dublin\, exploring the history of the city and the various locations described by Ireland’s greatest writer\, James Joyce.\n\nThough Joyce lived most of his life outside of Ireland\, Dublin would provide the backdrop for virtually all of his work. On a stroll around the inner city\, our guide will explain the real-life inspiration behind some of Joyce’s most celebrated writing\, demonstrating just how central the streetscape of the ‘Hibernian metropolis’ was to the author’s life and art. The tour visits such stops as Belvedere College\, the Gresham Hotel\, the James Joyce Statue\, Davy Byrnes\, and the National Library.\n\nThis is an excellent and fun introduction to Joyce in a bustling part of the city.\n\nThe James Joyce Centre offers two tours: Introducing Joyce’s Dublin and Footsteps of Leopold Bloom.\n\nEvery Thursday\, Friday & Saturday at 11 am. Duration 2 hours.\n\nAdmission to the James Joyce Centre is included. \nThe James Joyce Centre is supported by the Department of Culture\, Communications and Sport.

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:Tigercub
DESCRIPTION:UK rock trio Tigercub have quickly become one of modern rock’s most forward-thinking bands\, known for massive riffs\, cinematic songwriting\, and explosive live shows. Fronted by guitarist/vocalist Jamie Hall with bassist Jimi Wheelwright and drummer James Allix\, they’ve built a global following through relentless touring with Royal Blood\, Highly Suspect\, Porno For Pyros\, Clutch\, and appearances at Reading & Leeds Festivals. \nFollowing the critical acclaim of 2023’s The Perfume of Decay\, Tigercub return with their fourth LP\, Nets to Catch the Wind\, produced by Tom Dalgety via Loosegroove Records (cofounded by Stone Gossard). Blending the ambition of Muse and Queens of the Stone Age with their own dark\, dynamic sound\, Tigercub continue to push contemporary rock forward. \nJamie Hall was staring out the window\, letting his mind wander\, when a phrase landed in his imagination: ‘Nets to Catch the Wind.’ It was fleeting\, almost accidental\, but it resonated. It sounded expansive\, cinematic\, and full of possibility. It sounded like Tigercub. \n‘The Perfume of Decay was our midnight confession\,’ Hall reflects. ‘A gothic\, heavy-metal record steeped in anxiety and noise. Nets To Catch The Wind is the dawn that follows\, the white-light record set in the space between dreaming and waking. We built whole worlds out of darkness\, and this record is about learning to live in the light even when you know it will not last.’ \nRecorded over nine days at the legendary Rockfield Studios in Wales\, where Queen\, Rush\, and Oasis famously wrote records\, Nets To Catch The Wind captures Tigercub at their most cinematic and unrestrained. Many core takes were tracked live\, preserving the raw chemistry of the Brighton trio\, Jamie Hall on vocals and guitar\, Jimi Wheelwright on bass\, and James Allix on drums\, resulting in an album that is both immediate and transcendent. Produced by Tom Dalgety\, known for his work with Royal Blood\, Ghost\, and Pixies\, the record pushes the band into expansive\, textured territory\, exploring dynamics\, space\, and emotion in new ways.

SUMMARY:Antony Szmierek
DESCRIPTION:Manchester-born poet\, writer\, and producer Antony Szmierek today announces his second album\, Decoding Birdsong\, arriving 21st August via Mushroom Music / Virgin Music Group. Just eighteen months after his critically acclaimed debut\, Szmierek returns with a new body of work that signals a clear evolution in both sound and scope. Rooted in his personal touchstones within electronic music\, the album pairs expansive\, immersive production with his trademark razor-sharp lyricism. \nAlongside the news\, he shares new single ‘Chalk’\, an expansive\, sawtoothed electro track inspired by the snooker documentary Ronnie O’Sullivan: The Edge of Everything. In his words\, “it’s about the idea that chalking a cue makes a marginal difference to the outcome – a metaphor for chaos theory and the win-or-lose nature of the music industry.” \nLISTEN TO ‘CHALK’ | WATCH THE OFFICIAL VIDEO \nThe track premiered this morning on Lauren Laverne’s BBC 6 Music show and will appear on the upcoming album alongside his recent disco-inflected house single\, ‘The Heron’ — a nod to his avian companion Ken\, a 1920s taxidermied bird that also features on the album artwork. \nDecoding Birdsong follows the wild success of his debut album\, 2025’s Service Station at the End of the Universe\, which launched Antony into a whirlwind of Glastonbury\, Jools Holland\, and repeat BBC airplay. He’s sold out venues across the UK and Europe\, and in February 2026 performed to 20\,000 while closing Solomun’s Alexandra Palace shows. The former English teacher had been working at a college for special needs students when his blend of spoken word and dance music started taking off\, earning him accolades such as 6Music’s Artist of the Year in 2023 following his Poems To Dance To EP\, and frequent comparisons to Mike Skinner\, Jarvis Cocker and John Cooper Clarke. \n\nService Station at the End of the Universe was rooted in Greater Manchester\, its locals and landmarks\, such as the Stockport Pyramid. And he began feeling the consequences of that: suddenly\, everyone knew his name at the pub – on some days\, that felt good; on others it made him feel like he was in The Truman Show. Feeling like something needed to change after a year of experiencing the industry’s high highs and low lows\, Antony recently relocated to Bristol\, trading the familiar for distance and peace. Decoding Birdsong was made in his new home city\, with his long-time collaborator Max Rad. \n\nWhere his debut had been a solo endeavour\, Decoding Birdsong brims with collaboration\, including Australia’s Pretty Girl\, London band Los Bitchos\, and Bristol producer 1-800 GIRLS\, as well as Imogen and the Knife and indie pop star Ellur. \n\nSpeaking about the new record\, Antony explains “Decoding Birdsong is about choosing to believe in something. Coincidence as a religion. Making your own luck in the face of loneliness and doubt. The smallest things can feel seminal\, seismic and life affirming if you just choose to lean in\, but it also asks if this is a dangerous way to live.  \n\nWhat happens when your numbers come in? What are the consequences of luck? Should you listen to the birds\, or are you only ever going to hear what you want to hear? To help us explore this: a heron\, dice\, a plummeting airplane\, the late-night TV show Aussie Gold Hunters and a fibreglass replica of Godzilla.”

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.
