(August 21, 2026) - Following the explosive arrival of "Rattle The Cage" (feat. John 5), Diamond-certified rock band Nickelback today release their new single "Leave Me Behind," the third offering from their highly anticipated new studio album, Everything Under The Sun, arriving October 30, 2026, via Virgin Music Group. PRE-ORDER EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN HERE Where "Rattle The Cage" (feat. John 5) kicked open the door to Nickelback's next chapter with a blistering rush of guitars, pounding riffs and arena-sized energy, "Leave Me Behind" reveals another side of the album - one rooted in vulnerability, loyalty and the instinct to stand beside someone when they need it most. Built around an emotional promise of unwavering support, "Leave Me Behind" finds Nickelback transforming heartbreak into resilience. The song speaks to carrying someone through their darkest moments, finding the pieces when everything feels shattered, and ultimately letting go of the pain that has been holding them back. At the heart of the track is a simple but powerful message: "Spit out the poison and leave it behind." Yet beneath that call to move forward is an equally personal plea - "Just don't leave me behind." Together, those sentiments capture the emotional tension at the centre of the song: helping someone overcome what has hurt them while asking them to stay connected through the journey. "There's a lot of weight in this song, but there's also a lot of hope," says Chad Kroeger. "It's about being there for someone when they're dealing with the things that have broken them down - picking up the pieces, taking some of that weight off their shoulders, and reminding them they don't have to go through it alone. At the same time, there's that feeling of not wanting to be left behind. We liked that tension. It makes the song feel really personal." "Leave Me Behind" follows "Rattle The Cage" (feat. John 5), and the chart-topping song "Bones For The Crows," which marked Nickelback's first new music since 2022's Get Rollin' and introduced the world to Everything Under The Sun. The album arrives at a moment of renewed momentum for one of rock's most enduring acts, following the global success of the acclaimed documentary Hate to Love: Nickelback and the record-breaking Get Rollin' World Tour, the fastest-selling and highest-attended tour of the band's career. Collectively, the three singles offer an early glimpse into the breadth of Everything Under The Sun. True to its title, the album explores the complete spectrum of what has made Nickelback one of the biggest rock bands in the world: towering arena anthems, massive guitars, undeniable melodies, reflective songwriting and the unmistakable chemistry that has defined the band for more than three decades. From humble beginnings in Hanna, Alberta, Nickelback have grown into one of the most successful rock bands of the 21st century. Since emerging onto the global stage with Silver Side Up and the era-defining hit "How You Remind Me," the band has built an unparalleled catalog of rock staples, earning multiple Grammy Award nominations, American Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, JUNO Awards and international acclaim along the way. With nearly 60 million albums sold worldwide, billions of streams across digital platforms and more than 50 million monthly listeners across digital platforms, Nickelback remain one of the most streamed and commercially successful rock bands in the world. Their music continues to resonate across generations, finding new audiences through streaming while maintaining a devoted global fanbase that has filled arenas for more than two decades. That enduring appeal reached new heights over the past several years. The Netflix documentary Hate to Love: Nickelback became a global sensation, spending weeks in the platform's Global Top 10 while offering fans an unprecedented look inside the band's remarkable journey. At the same time, the Get Rollin' World Tour shattered attendance records and reaffirmed Nickelback's reputation as one of rock's premier live acts. Everything Under The Sun builds on that momentum while looking firmly ahead. It is both a celebration of everything Nickelback have accomplished and a statement that their creative fire burns as brightly as ever. The album also marks Nickelback's first release with Virgin Music Group, the world's leading partner to independent labels, artists and entrepreneurs. As Nickelback enter this new chapter, "Leave Me Behind" demonstrates that the band's ability to connect with listeners goes far beyond the volume of their guitars. At its core, the song is about showing up - finding every piece when someone feels broken, offering a hand when they need it, and reminding them that they are not alone. Everything Under The Sun arrives October 30, 2026, via Virgin Music Group. About Nickelback One of the most commercially successful and influential rock bands of the 21st century, Nickelback have sold nearly 60 million albums worldwide, amassed billions of streams, and continue to attract more than 50 million monthly listeners across digital platforms. Formed in Hanna, Alberta, the multi-platinum quartet - Chad Kroeger, Ryan Peake, Mike Kroeger and Daniel Adair, rose to international prominence with their breakthrough album Silver Side Up, featuring the era-defining global hit "How You Remind Me," before cementing their status as rock mainstays with a catalog of enduring anthems including "Photograph," "Rockstar," "Far Away," "Someday" and "Burn It to the Ground." Their impact on Canadian music history was formally recognised in 2024 with their induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, underscoring their status as one of the country's most successful musical exports. In addition, Nickelback are among a select group of artists to have achieved Diamond certification in both Canada and the U.S., further reflecting their exceptional commercial reach and cultural impact both domestically and around the world. Over the course of a career spanning more than three decades, Nickelback have earned multiple Grammy Award nominations, American Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, JUNO Awards and more while consistently ranking among the world's biggest touring rock acts. Their 2023 documentary, Hate to Love: Nickelback, introduced the band's story to a new generation of fans, while the Get Rollin' World Tour became the fastest-selling and highest-attended tour of their career. Now entering a bold new chapter with Virgin Music Group, Nickelback continue to push forward with the same unmistakable sound, arena-sized ambition and enduring connection with fans that have made them one of modern rock's defining bands.

Photo Credit @khaliphotography Saturday 22nd August: One of the most highly anticipated days in All Points East history saw Lorde take to the East Stage, topping a line-up of some of the hottest acts on the planet. Beginning with a snippet of her breakthrough hit, 'Royals', two-time Grammy and BRIT Award-winner Lorde brought a curated set with lasers, dancers and a powerful performance that stunned the audience. Lorde said: "How are we doing, Victoria park? We okay? Now, the last time I was in Victoria park was two years ago. It was the beginning of summer and I came here with someone I had a big crush on." She added: "Bring your crush to Victoria Park. There's magic here." The set was packed with hits like 'Supercut' and 'Team', and for Lorde it was a big day. She played the first edition of All Points East in 2018, aged just 21. Lorde curated the incredible bill of support acts at the 2026 edition. "I kept saying: Could we add this person? Could I add this person? This is the best lineup I've ever been part of," she said. Beaming lights reflected off her suit at the end of 'Man Of The Year', before diving into 'Girl So Confusing' and the then deep house beats of 'Green Lights', growing and growing into a massive dancefloor anthem. "This is a song I wrote about trying to find my power," she said before a stripped back 'David' and a massive banner was passed back across the crowd reading: "I don't belong to anyone." "We have one song left for you tonight. This is the oldest, most precious song we have," she said as the evening drew to a close with 'Ribs'. Earlier, Djo was given a hero's welcome as he closed the West Stage with hits from his acclaimed 2025 album, The Crux, including 'Delete Ya' and 'Basic Being Basic'. He prowled the stage, drawing fans in to join him for every word. "How you feeling? We are so lucky to be with you. You'll sing it with me?" Djo said, before giving a shout out to his Stranger Things co-star Charlie Heaton, who watched from the crowd. BRIT Award-winner PinkPantheress provided one of the hotly anticipated sets of the day when she headlined the North Arena, telling the crowd: "Thank you so much for coming to my set. I've never done All Points East - it's such a legendary festival. I went when I was like 19. All Points East is a vibe!" The cheers from the crowd reached record levels for Zara Larsson, who took to the stage for 'Midnight Sun', before spotting a face in the crowd: "I think I saw your TikTok? What were you doing running for the barricade?" Another familiar face was PinkPantheress for a debut live duet: "You guys are watching HERstory being made right now. Cause something that's never happened before, and it's happening right now, the first ever live performance of 'Stateside' with PinkPantheress." Toward the end of her performance, 'Shadows' saw a surprise appearance from British singer-songwriter and producer MNEK, while mega-hits 'Lush Life' and 'Symphony' provided highlights, before a reprise of 'Midnight Sun' closed the set. Over on the North Arena, American rapper and singer 2hollis played to a packed tent, commanding the crowd: "I like your energy. Ya'll over here, that's how you do it. Take some notes." The unique voice of London born-singer songwriter Sienna Spiro wowed on the West Stage with breakout hit 'Die On This Hill' and fan favourite 'Material Lover'. French, alternative-electronic artist Oklou name checked London producer AG Cook: "He wrote the lyrics for one of my songs, and I love it so much that we're gonna play it for you." Online sensation Erin LeCount was a standout on the West Stage. In a candid moment, she addressed the crowd: "This is my dream festival lineup. I love you. this next song I wrote about the feeling of grief and about the feeling of doing something more with your life and dealing with imposter syndrome" Among the crowd for the biggest festival lineup of the summer were stars including Millie Bobby Brown, Jake Bongiovi, Paul Mescal, Harris Dickinson and Louis Partridge. Jorja Smith and Tems were the opening headliners for All Points East 2026 on Friday, before Lorde on Saturday and then a series of other major acts: Deftones at Outbreak Fest on Sunday 23 August and Tyler, The Creator's two-day headline slot at Victoria Park on Friday 28 August and Saturday 29 August, and Twenty One Pilots on Sunday 30 August.

Saturday 22nd August: All Points East experienced triumphant sets from two global powerhouses as co-headliners: Jorja Smith and Tems. Curated by Jorja Smith and her label FAMM in collaboration with All Points East, the line-up also featured kwn, Nia Archives, Ayra Starr, and Odeal, with Tems performing as the penultimate act before BRIT Award-winning British icon Jorja Smith closed the night. The West Midlands superstar and Grammy nominee dazzled the 45,000 strong crowd with a set full of R&B bangers and special guests. Odeal, who had performed earlier on at the festival, joined for 'Coming Home' while Kyla's appearance on 'I Lied, You Lied' sent the crowd wild. West Stage headliner Nia Archives joined for several tracks, including 'Crush', which also saw London rap sensation AJ Tracey make a rapturous entrance. After a clip of Jorja singing Katy B as a schoolgirl, it was time for Katy to grace Jorja's stage for her hit 'Katy On a Mission', before 'Loose Ends' drew a huge reception, with Mercury and Brit nominee Loyle Carner joining onstage. In the build up to the headline set, two-time Grammy Award-winning British Nigerian star Tems appeared at the top of the stage through a cloud of smoke as she kicked into 'Crazy Tings', the crowd singing every word. Hits including 'What You Need' and 'Essence' followed before Dave was summoned to the stage for a special guest appearance for 'Raindance'. Producer and DJ Nia Archives took to the stage fresh from a new hit album, Emotional Junglist, which has earned her a Mercury Prize nomination. The star, who was born in Yorkshire but moved to nearby Hackney Wick to hone her trade, took a massive West Stage crowd in her stride: "Yes, yes All Points East. What we saying." Introducing her 2024 banger 'Cards On The Table', she said: "This song is about having a crush and putting all your cards on the table."For the introspective 'Tender', during which the singer's brother was brought out onstage ("Nia Archives: "Love you, love you."), she ended on a high, telling the East London audience, "I'm gonna take you to Brazil', before closing with 'Baianá'. Two-time GRAMMY-nominated global Afro-pop superstar Ayra Starr made her hotly anticipated return to the UK stage at All Points East with her biggest and most polished show yet. Strutting onto the heaving North Arena in a bedazzled metallic bra and matching micro mini skirt, armed with a troupe of sexy male dancers; Ayra exclusively performed several new tracks from her latest album "Starrgirl" for the first time. The album's multi-million-streaming hit singles 'Hot Body', 'Who's Dat Girl', 'Tornado' and the GRAMMY-nominated smash 'Gimme Dat' got the sweaty crowd wining, while her signature anthems 'Rush', 'Sability', 'Commas' and 'Bloody Samaritan' rocked the packed-out tent with thunderous sing-alongs from the audience. Critically-lauded R&B artist kwn made a surprise appearance for a sensual duet on 'Amazing', which features on Ayra's latest album, marking the pair's first live performance together. Odeal, speaking about his Wizkid collaboration 'Nights In the Sun', said: "This one's special, because can you imagine listening to someone your whole life and you turn 25 and you get to work with him?" One of the newcomers on the bill, heading for a major breakthrough, were British pop stars XO, who had a special track for the audience: "Okay, so this next song is called Hotline. It is our first single of the year. What do we say about this song? Oh, I know what to say. Yeah, go on. So it's actually just peaked as our most streamed single on Spotify.
Basically, this song is about, if you guys ever dealt with any, let's say, annoying, stupid men in your life.
Yeah? We wrote this song about them." During her own set earlier in the afternoon, Katy B told a huge audience at the West Stage: "It's amazing to see so many beautiful powerful women on the line up. Thanks Jorja Smith, Tems and thanks All Points East." Jorja Smith and Tems were the opening headliners for All Points East 2026, with some heavy hitters still to come: Lorde on Saturday 22 August, Deftones at Outbreak Fest on Sunday 23 August and Tyler, The Creator'stwo-day headline slot at Victoria Park on Friday 28 August and Saturday 29 August, and Twenty One Pilots onSunday 30 August.

Review by Lauren Page | @LiveWithLP When I sat down with Anna Graves in London earlier this summer, there was one thing she said about her debut album that stuck with me: America’s Greatest Burnout was the story of her twenties. The mistakes, the heartbreak, the people, the growing up and, ultimately, figuring out who Anna Graves actually is. Well, the wait is finally over - and what a first record this is. From the dreamy opening moments of title track America’s Greatest Burnout, Anna sets the scene perfectly. There’s a warmth to it that immediately pulls you into her world; the kind of song that belongs on a long drive with the windows down and nowhere particularly urgent to be. But underneath that beautiful, laid-back Americana sound is the real heart of this album. This isn't twelve songs simply thrown together for a debut. It genuinely feels like a timeline. Across Damn In Love, Hollow Bones, Goldmine and Ashes & Smoke, Graves moves effortlessly between country, folk and pop without ever sounding like she's trying to fit neatly into any of them. That's perhaps what makes her music so easy to fall in love with. There's something wonderfully timeless about it. And then there's Two Faced. Anyone who knows me knows I've been waiting for this one. It was my standout when I first heard the record, and months later, it still is. When we spoke in London, Anna told me the song came from experiencing a relationship where she trusted somebody completely, only for them to turn their back on her. She described songwriting as therapy and said that every time she sings Two Faced, she feels stronger. Knowing the story somehow makes an already brilliant Americana song hit even harder. It's also exactly what I love about the genre. Give a folk and country songwriter heartbreak, betrayal or one questionable life decision and somehow they'll hand you back a three-minute song that makes you feel like they've been reading your diary. But America’s Greatest Burnout isn't a sad record. That's important. For all the heartbreak running through it, there is an enormous amount of hope here too. Songs like Burn On feel resilient, while Minnesota brings us back to the place that has shaped so much of Anna's identity and songwriting. By the time we reach the latter stages of the album, it feels like we're listening to someone who has been through the chaos and come out the other side knowing herself a little better. That's why this debut works so well. Anna isn't pretending to have everything figured out. Instead, she's created a record about the messy bit in between - trusting the wrong people, chasing dreams, burning out, going home, falling in love, losing things and finding yourself again. I've made absolutely no secret of how much I love Anna Graves' music, so perhaps I'm slightly biased here, but America’s Greatest Burnout is an absolute belter of a debut. Back in London, I wrote that this felt like the beginning of something really special. Now we've got the full record? I'm standing by it. America’s Greatest Burn Out by Anna Graves is out now

The video sees Noah cosplay as one of the Three Little Pigs, whilst being chased by the Big Bad Wolf. Noah has said of the release, "I've not been THIS excited to release a track in years. TOO SENSITIVE feels exactly how all my favourite songs growing up made me feel - like being kicked in the teeth." Noah has recently announced a UK headline tour for October! The highly-anticipated dates will kick off at Cardiff's Y Plas on 22nd October, and then span cities including Birmingham, Leeds, Nottingham and London, where Noah will play Electric Ballroom on 27th October, followed by Glasgow and Newcastle, before wrapping things up at Manchester's Academy 2 on 31st October.

Photo Credit Natalie Michele The chart-topping, multi-Platinum and Ivor Novello-winning Passenger returns with a new album 'Wild Love' which is set to be released on November 6th. He introduces the record by sharing the brand-new song 'It Was Gonna Be You'. Listen HERE. Passenger - real name Mike Rosenberg - was inspired by recently (and unexpectedly) becoming a husband and father. 'Wild Love'captures the whirlwind of emotions as their relationship developed - the excitement, the upheaval, the trepidation and the joy. Passenger says, "Going from a working relationship to a romantic one is scary. The older you get, the more of the spikier sides of love you've seen. Things go sour for all sorts of reasons and with someone so close, the stakes are so much higher. 'Wild Love' is the title track because it sums up the theme of the album. Do you give in to your doubts and do nothing, or do you face your fears and go for it? I wrote the song as I was realising that the choice was obvious." While the 'Wild Love' album charts the couple's personal experiences - taking the plunge, cherished early memories together, the realisation that this new love could be one that lasts - the single 'It Was Gonna Be You' is an outlier from a previous chapter in his life, a story of discovering that relationships can rapidly unravel. It is set to a classic Passenger sound of bright, buoyant melody coloured with flourishes of piano and Americana-tinged guitar twangs. He adds, "This is the last song that I wrote for the album and honestly, I wasn't sure if it would fit with the rest of them It came from a slightly less personal place which for a time felt at odds with the rest of the record, but as I kept playing it, it felt more and more at home with the others. I think 'Wild Love' tries to capture the many sides of love - the good, bad and ugly - and I think this song brings something none of the others do. It's also a catchy little bugger." The uplifting, energised atmosphere of the 'Wild Love' album opens with its most direct moment, the infectious ode-to-change of the live favourite 'Boomerang'. The title track and centrepiece 'Wild Love' will also be familiar from shows, a delicate piano-based country song which taps into the elation and fear that came as the couple's relationship took shape. There are sonic surprises too, such as the way in which the frisky 'Caution To The Wind' draws on both '70s Elton John and the insistent keys of Bruce Hornsby and the Range's 'The Way It Is', or the '80s synth embellishments on 'Lightning Strikes'. A rare cover is also included with his take on Taylor Swift's 'Willow', the song that soundtracked the couple's blossoming love. While 'Wild Love' was written over the course of several years, it was recorded in the summer of 2025. Passenger and long-term producerChris Vallejo decamped to their new studio in the South Downs, a beautiful creative space built by adapting an old agricultural barn. 'Wild Love' is available to pre-order / pre-save HERE. In addition to its digital release, stunning physical formats include a gatefold coloured vinyl in two exclusive colours, a natural and a white vinyl available from select indie stores, and a Deluxe hardcover book CD. 'Wild Love' is Passenger's first full-scale album project since 2021's 'Songs For The Drunk and Broken Hearted', which hit #2 in the UK and went Top 10 across Europe, continuing a long run of success which has included a global breakthrough with 'All The Little Lights' and his first UK #1 in the shape of 'Young As The Morning Old As The Sea'. He also wrote songs for the stage adaptation of Rachel Joyce's novel 'The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry', which transferred to the West End at the start of the year. The musical received an Olivier nomination and five-star reviews across the board, resulting in Passenger releasing a selection of the songs on the album 'One For The Road'. Passenger is set to play a hometown headline show at Hove Park, Brighton on September 6th - limited final tickets are available HERE. Expect details of more live activity to be confirmed as the 'Wild Love' campaign unfolds. 'Wild Love' tracklist: Digital Format 1. Boomerang - Extended 2. It Was Gonna Be You - Extended 3.

Photo Credit @ianwattstv /www.ianwatts.org Launching on August 27th and running through to 2nd September Carnival 60: Ian Watts at Outernet is a brand new immersive installation using the Notting Hill Carnival photo archive of renowned and award winning photographer Ian Watts. Ian's work will be transformed into an incredible visual experience across the immense Outernet screens and is free to visit. Outernet is the UK's most visited cultural attraction with some of the largest and most advanced screens in the world and annually welcomes over 120 million people. Carnival 60: Ian Watts at Outernet opens with a montage of vibrant, full-colour imagery from recent Carnivals. Black-and-white photographs from Ian's first visits to Carnival in the 1970s then fill the immense Outernet screens. The piece moves into a new collection of pictures spanning the 80s and 90s followed by the installation transitioning into a collage of Ian's images from 2000–2019. This period showcases the rapid growth of Carnival, as everything scaled up from the yet more breathtaking costumes to even bigger block rocking sound systems. The final sequence transports the audience to the Carnival of today completing the visual trip though one of the most iconic events in the world. Ian's own Carnival story is a remarkable one. He bought his first camera in the summer of 1976 as a young teenager just out of school. At the time, he was living in a youth hostel in Harlesden, North WestLondon and taking photographs of the local area and things that caught his artistic eye. Some of his friends that year suggested that he check out the Notting Hill Carnival. He decided to go and take his recently purchased second hand camera along, not knowing that he was about to begin an epic photographic journey that would last for many years to come. Ian has attended and documented through his pictures every Notting Hill Carnival since 1976 bar one. Ian Watts said: "The Outernet exhibition is the culmination of a long photographic journey. It is particularly meaningful to see photographs made with humble analogue cameras and film in the 1970s and 1980s displayed alongside my more recent digital images. These photographs span generations of technology, but the people, energy, creativity and spirit of Carnival connect them all. For me, this is more than an exhibition of photographs. It is a record of a community, a culture and a changing London. It is a personal journey that began with a second-hand camera and has continued through many years of photography and filmmaking." Scott Neal, Creative Director Culture and Lifestyle, said: "Ian's Carnival story is itself amazing. The pictures that he has taken from being a young boy to today across six decades are a vibrant record of what Carnival is about and how important it is to the fabric of London. We are proud to be able to use his pictures to create this piece at Outernet and celebrate the 60th birthday of Notting Hill Carnival." Outernet London Outernet London is the most visited cultural attraction in the UK and home to the most advanced screens in the world.

"Madonna helped write the language of modern pop culture through decades of relentless work, constant reinvention and a refusal to stand still. We wanted to honour that drive and give the audience a genuine way to express their own connection to her work - through personal stories, emotions and messages."Alex Wolf, Founder and Creative Director, Lookport Studio C'MON MEET ME ON THE DANCEFLOOR is conceived as a public celebration rather than a retrospective - bringing together Madonna's latest visual language with a more personal layer shaped by the people who come to see it. "Great cultural moments are about bringing people together and that is exactly what we want Outernet to do. Madonna has inspired audiences and artists for generations so it is a complete privilege to be able to celebrate her and her connection with fans in such a creative and interactive way. "Philip O'Ferrall, CEO, Outernet The Madonna birthday installation will be free and open to the public at Outernet London, Tottenham Court Road, on Sunday, 16 August 2026. The experience will screen at selected times throughout the day. Visitors are encouraged to check the Outernet London website for the latest screening schedule before travelling.
