SUMMARY:Starjunk 95
DESCRIPTION:Starjunk 95 is centred around a fictional\, anime-inspired crew of ragtag misfits that join forces to pilot an intergalactic radio station. Think Cowboy Bebop meets The Gorillaz & Daft Punk. \nRising electronic music sensation Starjunk 95 is thrilled to announce his highly anticipated debut tour across Europe throughout 2026. The tour marks a significant milestone for the innovative DJ and artist\, known for his genre-blending mix of lo-fi house\, vaporwave\, and future funk\, which has captivated audiences at clubs across the US\, UK\, and Canada. \nFollowing the success of his breakout singles ‘Groove District’ and ‘Beat Keep Rockin” and an entirely sold-out debut tour in summer of 2025\, Starjunk is bringing his signature sound and immersive live experience to iconic venues across the continent. \nA quote from the captain himself: “Several months ago I did a show in London not knowing what to expect. It was a small sweaty club on Glastonbury Weekend and it blew my mind that hundred of fans came and raved with me until 5AM. It was one of the best nights. Word’s spread from that show – all the messages\, comments\, and all of the fans asking when I was coming to Europe. The Fans made this tour happen and now it’s finally time to groove!”

SUMMARY:The Small Fortunes
DESCRIPTION:Formed in Warrington\, England\, The Small Fortunes started with Louis Menguy and Louis James writing together through lockdown. \nTheir debut EP\, recorded with David Radahd-Jones at Red City Studios in Manchester\, set the tone early: raw and confident. The arrival of bassist Liam Clarke and drummer Adam Christopher in 2024 — followed by Paul Glover on keys in early 2025 — completed the line up. \nBuilt on the backbone of the blues — the grit of Muddy Waters\, the drive of John Lee Hooker — and wired with the urgency of modern garage rock\, The Small Fortunes deal in energy over polish. There are shades of BRMC and The White Stripes in the mix\, but they’re not looking sideways. Everything they do pushes forward. \nTheir reputation has been built the hard way: onstage. High-impact\, no-frills\, and relentless\, every single one of their live shows has been a sell out.

SUMMARY:EZHEL
DESCRIPTION:Ezhel\, born Sercan İpekçioğlu on July 1\, 1990\, in Ankara\, Turkey\, and now a Berlin resident is one of the most influential figures in the rap scenes of Turkey and Germany. Growing up in the vibrant yet challenging streets of Ankara\, Ezhel was exposed to a diverse array of musical influences from an early age\, including reggae\, hip-hop\, and Anatolian rock. His passion for music began in his teenage years\, as he started experimenting with freestyling and performing in underground rap battles. \nEzhel’s breakthrough came with his debut album *Müptezhel* in 2017\, which quickly became a cultural phenomenon in Turkey. The album\, which blends rap with reggae and trap elements\, was lauded for its raw lyricism\, addressing themes such as urban life\, societal issues\, and the struggles of youth. Songs like “Şehrimin Tadı” and “Geceler” resonated deeply with a generation facing economic and social challenges\, establishing \nEzhel as the voice of the Turkish youth. Despite facing legal challenges\, including arrests for allegedly promoting drug use in his lyrics\, Ezhel’s popularity only grew. He became a symbol of resistance and freedom of expression in Turkey\, using his platform to highlight the realities of life for many young people in the country. His music\, characterized by its authenticity and emotional depth\, has earned him a loyal fan base not only in Turkey but also internationally. \nEzhel’s collaborations with global artists such as Aitch\, Luciano\, Gentleman and Ufo361 have further expanded his reach\, making him a prominent figure in the global hip-hop community. Today\, Ezhel continues to push the boundaries of rap music\, using his music as a powerful tool for storytelling and social commentary\, solidifying his place as a pioneering artist in the genre.

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:OVERPASS
DESCRIPTION:In their short history\, overpass have inspired an ever-growing fanbase with songs pulsating with youthful exuberance and the vulnerabilities of young adulthood. Their shows have been just as life-affirming\, providing a dopamine burst of wall-to-wall singalongs and an all-in-this-together communion. As they approach the release of their debut album\, ‘Elsewhere\, Always’\, overpass are primed to fulfill their skyscraping potential as their grassroots grittiness is scaled upwards into arena-reaching ambition.\nFor a record made with such confidence and conviction\, the dichotomy of ‘Elsewhere\, Always’ is that it is born from uncertainty. It’s a maelstrom of relatable twentysomething existential confusion\, but also one with the romance to map a course towards a brighter future. \nThe band – Max Newbold (vocals/guitar)\, Elliot Rawlings (guitar)\, India Armstrong (bass) and Jake Bishop (drums) – formed in Birmingham during lockdown. Their rise has continued ever since\, including a phenomenal 2025 which saw them sell-out two headline tours and power into big venues with The Wombats\, Wunderhorse and Inhaler.

SUMMARY:Black Stone Cherry
DESCRIPTION:In the past two decades\, Black Stone Cherry has set a new standard for Southern rock\, revitalizing the tradition with its burly riffs and stirring rock hooks. Since its formation in 2001\, the four-piece brotherhood has remained Chris Robertson\, vocals/guitar; Ben Wells\, guitar/vocals; and John Fred Young\, drums. Today\, the band welcomes its dear friend Steve Jewell Jr. on bass/backing vocals. Steve is formerly of the blues-rock band OTIS who has opened for BSC many times. “I grew up around this music. Every time we play ‘Lonely Train\,’ I remember driving with my dad and hearing it on the radio. I get emotional thinking about it\,” Steve says. John Fred chimes in: “Steve is the young kid in the band—he doesn’t have as many wrinkles! He’s a monster player\, and we have this insane chemistry with him.” \n  \nOver the years\, BSC has both headlined and rocked 12\,000-cap arena shows and shared the stage with a diverse roster of superstars\, including Alter Bridge\, Theory of a Deadman\, Def Leppard\, Gov’t Mule\, Nickelback\, Lynyrd Skynyrd\, Bad Company\, Mötorhead\, Halestorm\, Stone Temple Pilots\, The Darkness\, and ZZ Top. In 2018\, BSC performed in front of 100\,000 people at the Download Festival as main support to Guns N’ Roses. In 2021\, the band played the UK’s venerated Royal Albert Hall\, immortalized on 2022’s live DVD Live From The Royal Albert Hall…Y’All.

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:Therapy Horse
DESCRIPTION:Therapy Horse made an electrifying entrance in 2025\, earning immediate recognition as one of Post-Brexit Pop’s Best Debuts of 2025. With members hailing from acclaimed Irish shoegaze act Pebbledash\, Therapy Horse forges a bold and cathartic soundscape\, channeling the visceral intensity of Lingua Ignota\, Wednesday\, Mogwai\, and Slint\, alongside Irish innovators like Percolator and Elastic Sleep. The result is an exhilarating\, exorcistic wall of sound that sets the band apart as a formidable new force. \nTheir debut single\, ‘LET ME BE CLEAR’\, dropped in 2025 and set the tone for their uncompromising ethos. Self-recorded in their rehearsal space with Andy Killian and mastered by Pete Maher (U2\, Pixies\, Nick Cave)\, the track melds searing noise with relentless\, rapid-fire percussion and ferocious\, unflinching lyricism. The song channels the anguish of powerlessness and the liberation that comes from embracing one’s anger\, establishing Therapy Horse as fearless commentators and sonic innovators. September saw the arrival of their riveting follow-up single\, ‘LOVE / MERCY’. \nTherapy Horse’s live performances are a tour de force\, radiating a whirlwind energy honed through relentless gigging across Ireland’s renowned venues. They have recently supported acts such as U.S. “fairy doom” heavyweights Faetooth\, UK post-punk band Heavy Lungs and many other Irish bands such as PUCK\, Mother Of Pearl\, Skinner\, I Dreamed I Dream\, Silverglass\, and The Low Field. Remarkably\, in just a matter of months since their inception\, Therapy Horse has already played iconic venues including Cork’s Kino\, Dublin’s Whelan’s\, and Limerick’s Dolans\, firmly establishing themselves as a live act to watch.

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: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.” \n\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:Paahto & The Bull
DESCRIPTION:Paahto & The Bull is the guitar-duo project of Patrick ‘Paahto’ Cummins and John Francis Flynn. Having met and played together since 2011 and having cut their teeth at The Maple Hotel on Dublin’s Gardiner Street\, Paahto and John helped form the Irish traditional group Skipper’s Alley in 2013 and would remain long-term sparring partners and an integral cog in Dublin’s traditional and folk music communities. Once There Was A King was another of their musical endeavours which reached into a progressive musical space in its short-lived timespan. However\, as with any collaboration between these two players\, Paahto & The Bull is beyond a meeting of two musical minds and encompasses a very personal element. \nDuring the covid-19 pandemic\, the pair experimented with music on two guitars inspired by Paahto’s interest in bluegrass flat-picking and John’s very original approach to accompaniment. Beginning with just an Instagram page to post some amateur material\, Paahto & The Bull decided to take the project more seriously and gradually worked towards recording an album with the help of Brendan Jenkinson and Ben Rawlins. The ethos for the duo has always been to focus on simplicity and only features the musicians playing their guitars despite them both being multi- instrumentalists and singers. \nThe music of Paahto & The Bull is a very honest reflection of the unique kind of sound that Cummins and Flynn have consistently created with each other over the past fifteen years and\, although one might have expected their initial release to be a banjo/guitar product\, the lateral thinking that went into choosing a guitar duet is also very in line with the particular flavour of progressive that these lads strive for. The statement is firm: ‘This is what we play. This is how we play. And this is what we are going to play.’ Having signed with Claddagh Records in late 2025\, Paahto & The Bull will be releasing their debut album during 2026.

SUMMARY:Foy Vance: The Wake World Tour
DESCRIPTION:The tour will kick off in Zurich\, Switzerland\, on 3rd September and wrap in Boston\, MA\, on 1st May\, 2027. The world tour will start in Europe and the UK with stops including Berlin\, Paris\, Copenhagen\, Edinburgh\, London (two nights at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire) and Dublin. The US portion includes Los Angeles (two nights)\, Denver\, Nashville\, Chicago\, Washington D.C. and New York City. \nOut 13 March via Rounder Records\, The Wake marks the completion of a 26-year grief journey\, defined by Vance’s tireless soul-searching and life-altering revelation to create a series of seven albums following the passing of his father in 1999. He has carried one of his father’s favourite sayings –“Give me the boy until he is 7\, and I will show you the man”– like a compass eversince\, and The Wake finds Vance at the seventh album\, marking the end (or beginning) of a Chapter. \nProduced by Ethan Johns (the Brit Award–winning producer known for his work with Paul McCartney\, Ray LaMontagne\, and more)\, the 13-track album brings Vance’s gritty vocal work to a potent convergence of folk\, soul\, and Southern blues\, instilling every moment with unbridled vitality. At turns devastating\, ecstatic and wildly illuminating\, The Wake carries a title that reflects both sorrow and the promise of healing\, and reveals an artist highly attuned to the task of preserving the human spirit in an often-unforgiving world. \nThe Wake World Tour will follow a series of special record store performances and intimate\, sold-out album release shows in March. Plus\, he’ll play a special hometown show\, A Celebration of Life with Foy Vance\, at Custom House Square in Belfast in August. \nAcross the decades\, Vance has built a body of work where emotional immediacy meets sweeping\, soulful sound — stories told with a kind of fearlessness and fragile humanity that feel hand-carved from his own life. Albums like Joy of Nothing\, From Muscle Shoals\, Signs of Life\, and To Memphis have shaped his singular blend of Americana\, folk\, and soul\, drawing praise from Rolling Stone\, NPR\, and Billboard\, and earning admiration from artists including Ed Sheeran\, Bonnie Raitt\, Kacey Musgraves\, and Sir Elton John.

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.

SUMMARY:Doctor Millar
DESCRIPTION:Seán Millar AKA Doctor Millar is\, as many know\, something of a legend. \n“An Irish national treasure. The poet Laureate of Dublin’s dark side” – The Irish Times\n“Ireland’s Greatest Songwriter” – Hotpress Magazine\n“Irelands best lyricist” – The RTE Guide \nSean Millar will do a spoken word show on Thursday 29th October 2026\, in Little Whelans. Fans of Sean’s long form Facebook posts are in for a treat as he uses Halloween to backdrop ideas around transformation\, transgression\, power\, music\, spirituality\, and death. \n  \nEach of the five spoken word pieces will dovetail with a song illustrating and supporting the text\, some by Sean and one or two (very) unexpected covers. \n“ I see this as a way to bring together my different worlds. It’s always been strange to me that my music fans are almost completely unaware of my theatre work and community work and vice versa. Writing\, Music and Performance\, politics and society\, spirituality and art\, these are the driving forces of my working life. I hope to see people from each of those worlds there\, and I’ll do my best to make it entertaining too. \nOver the years I’ve been approached by many people who tell me how much they love my prose writing\, but I don’t publish books\, so this is for them as much as anything.” \nSeán is a musician\, storyteller\, writer and global award winning theatre composer for ‘Shame’ and the off-Broadway smash ‘Silver Stars’. A musician’s musician\, and pretty much one of a kind. His shows are close-up and intimate by design. \nIn 2026\, he released his 6th solo studio album ‘I Am Vermin’ (as usual some friends stepped in to help) and\, fair to say\, he’s lost none of his relatable edge.
