It's no secret that we're passionate about Foundations of Burden. Revisiting the record last year was so invigorating for us, and presenting it live in its entirety on stage has been a blast. We hold it as a special landmark in our history. We are so pleased to announce more of these performances in 2026, including a reprise of appearances alongside the funereal chaos apparitions in Knoll who joined us last December.
Fifteen years ago, when the Lisbon imprint was reckoning with near-empty dancefloors at the recently shuttered Musicbox venue, it would have been inconceivable for Principe to host a party at Lux widely considered to be among Europe's best nightclubs let alone pack out the roughly 1,500 capacity venue with the likes of minimal techno legend Richie Hawtin in attendance.
No, it doesn't come out in May. We're putting out our first song and video in May. The record is not coming out till September. We pushed it back a little bit. We just had to do a couple of other things to it. It's coming out in September, but the first song and video will be out in May.
I started writing this album because I was seeing so much of the world and watching what was happening. I felt like I had something important to say. I was writing this almost for necessity because there were so many people not saying what needed to be said. I feel like I'm a student of Nina Simone, and she said, 'the purpose of an artist is to reflect the times they live in.'
Roses serves as Widowspeak's seventh album and their first in four years following 2022's The duo, comprised of married couple Molly Hamilton and Robert Earl Thomas, also welcomed their first child in between albums. The new project was inspired by the minutiae of daily life, the significance of the insignificant, and everyday rituals.
We wanted to make as much noise as we could with just two people, says Goddard. But we never wanted to be limited by that. A trilogy of EPs, Conditions, forged the intensity; their just-released debut album, Crystalpunk, is where the fuse finally meets the charge.

The theme of this year's festival was 'Roots' in celebration of the centuries-long facets of Irish identity woven into modern Irish society. Stretching from Parnell Square in the city's north side to Kevin Street on the south, 12 large floats and 10 marching bands consisting of 3,000 people in total meandered through the parade route flanked by onlookers from home and abroad.
Djo has announced a handful of headlining US tour dates for this summer.

After members of the St. Cassian High School chamber choir perish while riding The Cyclone, they awake in limbo. Their spirit guide (a mechanical fortune teller automaton named The Amazing Karnak) invites each one to tell their life story in an effort to win the greatest prize of all, a chance to return.
This new stage version comes from Indian playwright Anupama Chandrasekhar, who previously gave the National Theatre a stonking hit with her Gandhi play The Father and the Assassin. We're promised some fairly major changes here, with the action explicitly relocated from central India to the Sundarbans mangrove swamps of the Ganges Delta (that now straddle India and Bangladesh).
30 years ago this month, we started our own label, Rock Action and released our first ever single, the double A side 7" - Tuner / Lower. 30 years on, we're marking the anniversary with a video to accompany Tuner, featuring rare footage from our early days through to now. We're also announcing some very special shows to mark the year.
With our music, I particularly like to be on the extremes of things. So if it's supposed to be pretty in your face, I like to be fairly in your face. And then at the same time, if it's kind of warm and gentle, I like that to be as warm and gentle as possible. I'm interested in those juxtapositions and making those, that's how we want it to come across.
Fast forward a few decades and John Wilson is still hand-picking musicians and still serving up performances so polished they leave critics scrabbling for superlatives. These days Wilson's main outfit is the Sinfonia of London, and he is as likely to be conducting the symphonic mainstream as showtunes.
For the past four weeks, 11 performers and 20 writers have been spending every weekday together in this very building, hashing out premises for skits, workshopping each other's material and finding the alchemy, as cast member and standup Ayoade Bamgboye puts it. For another, actor and TikToker Jack Shep, it's been like comedy boarding school.
I needed deli, but God, I hate him, sings CMAT (AKA Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson), though it is less a weird diss track, and more about her relationship with irrational hatred in a confusing world: critic Dorian Lynskey praised it as a tragicomedy of misdirected anger.
