2026 HEADLINE UK/EU TOUR ON SALE NOW INCLUDING LONDON’S ROUNDHOUSE

Liverpool has always had a knack for spotting the future before the rest of the world catches up. In 2026, Sound City looks set to prove that point all over again. The UK’s leading inner‑city new music discovery festival returns on 2–3 May, and its latest wave of artists reads like a roll call of tomorrow’s headliners.

The Big Feastival is back for 2026, and this year’s edition looks set to be its most ambitious celebration yet. Now in its 15th year, the beloved August Bank Holiday gathering on Alex James’ farm in the Cotswolds continues to perfect its winning formula: world‑class music, award‑winning chefs, and a family programme that genuinely earns the word unparalleled.

Today, Embrace return with details of their ninth album Avalanche, out 12th June via Cooking Vinyl. For over three decades, the five-piece have been a key part of the British music scene, selling over two million albums worldwide. In addition to the new album, 2026 will see the band celebrate their 30-year milestone with a series of headline shows and festival appearances, a spoken-word theatre tour telling the story of the band, a new book, and the release of a brand-new studio album.

Reggae superstar Protoje and his band The Indiggnation have announced their much-anticipated return to the UK for ‘The Reggae Invasion’, a four-date tour of the UK this Spring.

Wolf Alice are coming home — and they’re doing it in the biggest way imaginable. Fresh from a year that’s seen them sweep critical acclaim, top the UK charts and land three major BRIT Award nominations, the London quartet have announced a huge headline show at Finsbury Park on Sunday 5 July. It will be the largest show of their career so far, a milestone moment for a band who have spent the past decade quietly — and then not-so-quietly — becoming one of Britain’s most important modern acts.

On their upcoming single “Proper Job”, Micko & The Mellotronics channel the sound of the 70s and provide another look at their forthcoming third album, ‘The Trinity’.

After hearing ‘Seven Twelve’, I was keen to learn more about this UK based artist who melds many styles to create his unique and captivating sound. Read on to learn about how he got involved in the music scene, the acts that helped to steer him and what era he’d go back to in a time machine….

When people talk about the 90s, they’re rarely just talking about a decade. They’re talking about a feeling — the moment music cracked open and suddenly anything felt possible. It was the era that gave us Oasis swagger, Verve-sized ambition, Stone Roses colour, and the sense that a guitar, a melody, and a bit of attitude could change your life.

There are nights that feel ordinary on paper but end up stirring something deep in the collective memory. The double screening of W: A RETURN TO OZ at the Blue Walnut Café and Cinema was one of those nights — a quiet reminder of how the 90s shaped a generation, and how those echoes still ring beneath the surface for anyone who lived it.

Every summer, the UK’s festival calendar explodes with choice — but with so many huge events competing for attention, it can be hard to know which one truly fits your vibe. This guide cuts through the noise by spotlighting five of the very best UK festivals, breaking down their headline acts, locations, amenities, and camping options so you can decide which one feels right for your 2026 adventure. Whether you’re chasing big‑stage chaos, coastal escapism, family‑friendly comfort, or something in between, there’s a festival here waiting to claim your weekend.

After nearly two decades without a full album of original material, The Lemonheads are stepping back into the spotlight with a UK tour that feels less like a victory lap and more like a long‑awaited homecoming. Fresh from releasing Love Chant in late 2025 — a record that reasserted Evan Dando’s place as one of alternative rock’s most distinctive voices — the band will hit the road across the UK in September and October 2026.

Middle‑aged bands aren’t supposed to sound this hungry. Yet Nearly Skulls — the long‑running creative partnership between Paul Sherwood and Andy Shepley, have returned with PAX AMERICANA, a five‑track EP that feels like both a culmination and a rebirth. Recorded during an intense three‑day session at Abbey Road Studio 2, the release captures a duo who refuse to coast on nostalgia, instead sharpening their sound and view for a world that’s only grown stranger.

As their highly anticipated fifth album ‘DAGGER’ rears into view, IST IST have shared its final pre-emptive single “Obligations”.

It was a simple idea; to create a festival out of all the brilliant music and art made all over the world, stuff made outside of the mainstream – music that wasn’t getting on the radio and was even harder to find in record stores…
