- YUNGBLUD OPENS SOLD-OUT UK ARENA TOUR WITH TRIUMPHANT HOMECOMING SHOW
'I want to bring this home here tonight' Photo Tom Pallant Saturday April 11, 2026: Grammy-winning superstar Yungblud brought Idols: The World Tour home to the UK after a year in which he found acclaim in the US. This year the singer picked up the Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance and released part two of his No.1 album Idols . The Doncaster-born musician played the completely sold-out Utilita Arena in Sheffield on Saturday, with a spectacular rock performance featuring mass singalongs and pyrotechnics. The show opened with confetti cannons and a truly epic 'Hello Heaven, Hello' before 'The Funeral', 'Idols 1' and 'Lovesick Lullaby'. "This album, Idols, was made in Yorkshire and we brought it home tonight," said Yungblud. It was a show that saw flames shooting from the stage, along with chants of: "Yorkshire, Yorkshire, Yorkshire." "I've been away for too long," said Yungblud. "Does anybody want to kidnap me and take me home with them? I won't be good though!" A member of the audience was brought on stage to play guitar for an explosive 'Fleabag' and then Yungblud was off into the crowd to meet the fans. 'Changes' was, of course, dedicated to Ozzy Osbourne, who he said had brought many people together. Yungblud said: "Is this anybody's first ever Yungblud show? Well, welcome to the family, man. We are so honoured to play for you tonight because this community, this family, and rock and roll are all about love. Ozzy Osbourne's about love. Yungblud is about love. You, tonight, are about love." A massive 'Loner' preceded darkness as Yungblud left the stage, the audience still singing. He returned for anthemic renditions of 'Ghosts' and 'Zombie', and a final unstoppable encore of 'Suburban Requiem'. Yungblud said: "Thank you from the bottom of my heart. This album was made in Yorkshire, we toured it all around the world, and we'd like to bring it home, here tonight. If you're from Yorkshire I love you. If you are not, I love you too but just a little bit less. I'm joking! "I cannot believe that this community, this family, is getting this big. I could f*cking cry right now. You mean everything to me." Support comes from The Warning and The Molotovs on the UK tour, which ends in Manchester on 25th April.

The house music legend and Grammy Award winner Roger Sanchez is set to release his first studio album in 20 years when he drops his long-awaited new project ‘Spectrum’ on June 5th . He today launches the album alongside the new single ‘Temptation’ , a collaboration with Low Steppa which also features Ragdoll . Listen HERE. Roger Sanchez has pulled out all the stops for ‘Spectrum’ , with a wide array of special guests. He has called on big names from the worlds of house and electronica, such as Fedde Le Grand and Low Steppa , topline queens and vocal talents Karen Harding , Kelli-Leigh and Leo Wood along with big names from other genres ( Melanie C, Chico Castillo, Kele Le Roc and Donae’o ). The record also provides a platform for talented newcomers and underground artists to reach a bigger audience. Roger says, “ I’m delighted to announce the release of my forthcoming album SPECTRUM! A body of work 6 years in the making and something I am truly proud to finally see out in the world very soon!” Feeling both contemporary and classic, the album’s new single ‘Temptation’ is punchy big room house with a pristine production that helps unlock the euphoria provided by its soaring topline. The track reunites Roger Sanchez with another towering house icon in the shape of Low Steppa , who previously remixed his track ‘This Feeling’ . The single also features the enigmatic Ragdoll , who built on early collabs with Rudimental and Rita Ora by launching a high impact solo career with tracks such as ‘I LUV YOU (Sunny)’ with Alex Gaudino and BLENDER , and ‘Run’ with Henry PFR . Roger adds, “ Teaming up on TEMPTATION with my brother Low Steppa was a perfect merger of our New York to London roots. And working with Ragdoll for the first time was a joy… she absolutely kills it on the vocals! This is currently one of my favourite tracks in my box to set off the dance floor and one of my favourite collaborations.” Having released the collaborations with Fedde Le Grand and Chico Castillo in late 2025, ‘Temptation’ is the second song in 2026 to preview the ‘Spectrum’ album after the recent hit record ‘Come My Way’ . Channelling UK influences, the track Come My Way represents the only song on the album solely by Roger and has earned Radio 1 Dance airplay and hit the Kiss Dance playlist, while media attention has included Mixmag ( “a club-ready house groover that pulls from the legacy of UK club culture” ), DJ Mag , The Line of Best Fit , Notion and more . Roger Sanchez is a certified house music legend whose career has been defined by relentless creativity and a passion for the underground. From his start in NYC’s vibrant music scene, he’s become a globally celebrated DJ, producer and label head known for his distinctive style and dedication to the craft. Sanchez is the mastermind behind Undr The Radr and Stealth Recordings and has himself delivered cutting-edge releases and collaborations most recently with the likes of Ella Henderson , Jem Cooke and Hugel . With decades in the industry, a Grammy win and iconic residencies in Ibiza under his belt, Roger continues to push boundaries, inspiring fans and artists alike. Roger recently visited the UK for a tour that included a Haçienda Classical set at Drumsheds in London and Bugged Out in Bristol.

- EIGHTY EIGHT MILES RELEASE THEIR DEBUT EP ‘CLASS OF EIGHTY EIGHT’ VIA THIS FEELING RECORDS
Photo by Claire Hodgkins They’ve played shows with Lottery Winners , The K’s , Red Rum Club , The Clause and overpass ; attracted big name fans in the shape of Lindsey Buckingham and Blossoms ; and sold-out four consecutive Birmingham headline shows, but now it’s time for Eighty Eight Miles to really hit their stride. Today they release their long-awaited six-track debut EP ‘Class of Eighty Eight’ via This Feeling Records . It comes as the Midlands -based quintet prepare for their biggest summer festival season to date. The EP captures Eighty Eight Miles’ singular style: a melting point of luscious harmonies and ‘70s Californian folk-rock style, with the verve, bounce and youthful energy of the UK’s contemporary indie-pop scene. If you’re new to their charms, the EP’s new focus song ‘Favourite Season’ is a fine starting point. Led by Ellie Grace’s captivating and expressive vocal, ‘Favourite Season’ elevates their core sound with their grittiest, sweariest track to date complete with contrasting sultry, swooning vocal melodies. Vocalist/guitarist Ellie says, “We are so excited to finally be releasing our debut EP ‘Class of Eighty Eight’! We have worked so hard on this over the last few years and now feels like the right time to get these songs out to the world. The songs featured on the EP are a symbol of our evolution as a band with each song having a different personality to the next, showing our wide variety of influences as a group. We are very proud of this work and we hope this shines through to those who listen to it.” The ‘Class of Eight Eighty’ EP features a second brand new track in the shape of ‘You Just Never Really Wanna Call Me Home’ , a touch of beautifully impassioned lovelorn balladeering with a timelessness that would feel just as home in 1969 as it does in the present day. The EP opens with their previous single, the indie-blues intensity of ‘Always On The Run’ , as well as other key moments from their rise so far with ‘Sophie’ , ‘Hi’ and ‘Sexy Song’ . The EP has also been released on limited edition black 10” vinyl. All pre-order copies sold-out in just two hours, but remaining stock will be available at upcoming shows. Eighty Eight Miles formed while attending the BIMM Music Institute in Birmingham . The band - completed by Max Bets-Pael (guitar), Bekka Redfern (bass), Dan Hobday (drums) and Ollie Newbury (keys/guitar) - shared influences both current ( Blossoms , Declan McKenna , Red Rum Club ) and classic ( Fleetwood Mac , The Beach Boys , The Mamas & The Papas ). While they have only released a handful of tracks prior to this EP, they’ve built their reputation in the live arena - particularly with festival dates such as the Isle of Wight , The Great Escape and 2000trees . The band will celebrate the release of the EP with a sold-out homecoming at Birmingham’s Muthers Studio tomorrow, and they also support The Cases and The Lilacs at select shows. They’re back in festival action all summer, with highlights including a main stage debut at Truck (a big step-up, having first played the festival when they opened the This Feeling stage back in 2022 ), headlining The Pit at Y NOT? on Saturday night, and finally fulfilling their ambition to play Sheffield’s Tramlines .

- THE LILACS SHARE THE NEW SINGLE ‘GIRL BEHIND THE BAR’
After causing an avalanche of anticipation when they announced that their long-awaited debut album ‘Keeping Up With The Joneses' will be released on October 2nd , The Lilacs continue to surge forwards as they unveil its lead single ‘Girl Behind The Bar’ . Both the album and single are out via Manchester’s renowned independent label Scruff of the Neck . ‘Keeping Up With The Joneses' i s the sound of The Lilacs stepping up to the next level. They’ve raised the bar with songwriting that sparkles with bigger earworm choruses than ever before, and their tour-honed musicianship has clearly evolved. And they have the dedication, heart and soul to match - all within the instantly relatable coming-of-age stories that fans have come to love. All of those things are true, as the super-addictive ‘Girl Behind The Bar’ proves. The best Lilacs song to date? By the time its heady hook has wedged itself in your mind after a single listen, it’s undeniable. The narrative is a tale of carefree youth that’s replicated in every town and city right across the land: a snapshot of friends loving their time together in the pub, The Killers on the jukebox, and… then becoming instantly infatuated with the girl behind the bar. Vocalist/guitarist Ollie Anglesea says , “‘Girl Behind the Bar’ was the first song I wrote shortly after coming back from the Isle of Wight Festival in 2025, so as you can imagine it’s filled with nothing but good vibes! I think this release really sets the tone for the rest of the album. It’s direct, it’s in your face and I’m certain this will become a fan favourite.” As with the rest of the upcoming album, ‘Girl Behind The Bar’ was produced by Joe Cross ( Courteneers , Hurts ) and recorded at sessions split between Manchester and Paris . The single is one of eight new songs to feature on ‘Keeping Up With The Joneses' , which is completed by fresh recordings of fan favourites and live staples ‘Grace’ and ‘Vicarage Road’ . ‘Keeping Up With The Joneses' is available to pre-order HERE . The band’s official store offers a CD, cream vinyl, and signed lilac galaxy vinyl with alternate black artwork - plus a new bucket hat. The first 500 orders of any physical album format will be rewarded with a signed art print. Meanwhile, select indie stores have an exclusive red cornetto vinyl with a signed obi strip, packaged in alternate red artwork. Formed in Wigan by Ollie Anglesea and Sam Birchall (guitar), The Lilacs are completed by Matt Johnson (bass) and Dave Gomersall (drums). They debuted early in 2019 with ‘Vicarage Road’ and have been building a grassroots following ever since, winning further fans with ‘Grace’ in 2023 and scoring a Top 10 on the Independent Albums Chart with ‘The 395 (To Forever)’ EP in 2025 . They’ve played shows with Lottery Winners and The Lathums and hit countless festivals from Isle of Wight to Truck . And that has been rewarded with ever-bigger headline shows, so far peaking with a sold-out 2700 -capacity headline show in Manchester . Their ascension so far hasn’t been without challenges however. Sam Birchall recently received the all-clear from cancer following a year of treatment - his story documented by both ITV and BBC . But now with ‘Keeping Up With The Joneses’ , it’s only a matter of time until the challenge is keeping up with The Lilacs . The band’s current headline tour is now underway, which they will follow with an ever-expanding summer schedule of big outdoor shows and major festivals - including their debut at Leeds Festival . The dates are below, limited tickets remain available HERE .

- SOUTH ARCADE REVEAL NEW SINGLE SUPERMAN
In the midst of their biggest year to date, South Arcade return with their first release of 2026. SUPERMAN is available everywhere now SUPERMAN blends the band's signature Y2K-inspired sound with a dynamic mix of genre influences, creating a track that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly modern. Glitchy pop production and punchy alt-rock energy collide as the song builds around anthemic hooks and heavy choruses. Speaking of the track, the four-piece said, "SUPERMAN is about being pushed past breaking point. All patience has tapped out and you put the song on as your rage anthem. We found it funny how the verses are so chill then it just suddenly goes crazy, which kind of summed up the feelings we wanted. When you're sick of being the one who always holds it together and something has pushed you over the edge." Directed by DOGBRAIN, SUPERMAN will be accompanied by the official music video, which brings their rebellious energy to life through a striking concept exploring the gap between the rage fantasy and the socially acceptable response. Each band member appears as an ordinary 'civilian' in a mundane, mildly oppressive situation. As the track builds, the pre-chorus fractures reality into cinematic bursts of cartoonish violence before the chorus snaps everything back into place, grounding us in the social norms we're expected to uphold. As the video unfolds, it becomes clear these explosive alter egos never truly exist; they're intrusive thoughts. The video offers a darkly playful commentary on the tension between inner emotion and outward composure. Watch the video premiere at 6pm BST today here . The track comes after the announcement of the band's biggest headline show to date. On 25th February 2027, the band are set to play a show at London's iconic O2 Academy Brixton marking a major milestone in their rapid rise. The band announced the show in front of thousands while playing The O2 Arena supporting 5 Seconds Of Summer on their massive Everyone's A Star UK and EU tour last week and have been teasing the new song during their set reaching thousands of new fans. Speaking of the O2 Academy Brixton show, the band have said " We can't quite believe we're saying it but we're so excited we can announce our crazy plan to headline Brixton O2 Academy! It's such a cool venue and one we've seen so many amazing bands in so to be able to step onto that stage still doesn't quite make sense to us! Now we just need to find some more huge spray cans... " Tickets are on sale now here . SUPERMAN propels South Arcade into a huge year after the release of their 2025 EP PLAY! , which featured standout singles FEAR OF HEIGHTS and Radio 1 favourite Supermodels , alongside Drive Myself Home . Building on the momentum, the band have continued to rise at pace, landing major festival slots including the main stage at Download Festival alongside headliners Guns N' Roses and Linkin Park, as well as a performance at TRNSMT Festival. They will also head back to the US, for the incredible run of idobi Summer School 2026 shows as well as heading back later in the year for the iconic Vans Warped Tour, making their mark on both sides of the pond. With over 105 million streams on Spotify from their last two EPs, 2005 and PLAY! , the band have established themselves as a major presence in the alternative rock scene, amassing over 22 million likes on TikTok, a rapidly expanding YouTube following, and a growing demand for their energetic and commanding live performances. South Arcade are Harmony Cavelle (vocals), Harry Winks (guitar), Ollie Green (bass) and Cody Jones (drums). Follow South Arcade: TikTok / Instagram / Facebook / Twitter / YouTube / Spotify

- Alfie Boe unveils most personal work to date with new album out today Face Myself
LONDON, UK (April 10, 2026) — Today marks a career-defining milestone for Alfie Boe as the nation's most beloved tenor officially steps out from behind the curtain of "the Opera Dude" to release his first-ever album of predominantly original material, Face Myself . Moving away from the orchestral sound that fueled four UK Number 1 albums and a record-breaking career, Boe returns to his Northern roots to deliver a raw, cinematic collection that prioritises "the man underneath" over the character on stage. The album, available now on all platforms, represents the culmination of a twenty-year secret ambition to explore his own creative path. Trading show tunes for "raw, earthy, and real" storytelling, Boe draws inspiration from the indie explosion that shaped his teenage years - citing legends like The Stone Roses and The Charlatans. Produced by the acclaimed duo MyRiot (London Grammar, Primal Scream), the record offers a vulnerability never before heard in his multi-platinum discography. As well as the self-penned songs, Face Myself includes tunes by the likes of Noel Gallagher and Elbow. The album's title and lyrical themes were born from a period of deep introspection. Boe describes the writing process as an act of radical honesty, forcing him to look back at his childhood, his teenage years, and his personal life to find his true voice. "I thought, 'what is it about me that I have to face?'" he said. "For me, it was a number of moments in the past - my childhood, my teenage years. What got me to where I am today, my personal life. And that reflects in other songs on the album. It's been a really important lesson for me to face myself and realise who I am as an artist now and connect with that. I'm just writing from the heart and believing in what I'm saying and telling my story. Hopefully it can connect with other people and their memories and they can reflect on themselves too." The covers on the album are John Hiatt's 'Have A Little Faith In Me', Noel Gallagher's 'Trying To Find A World That's Been And Gone, Pt.1', Elbow's 'The Night Will Always Win', Laurie LeBlanc's 'I've Never Known', Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová's 'Falling Slowly' and Foy Vance's 'Guiding Light'.
