Nice - quite a lot of songs out before the album though.

That feels quite surprising too tbh!

Any more votes this week? :)

New music is on the way soon - https://www.instagram.com/p/DHEYQ-5s9b9

Weezer

Second single 'Gravestone' is out today:

Second single 'Sunny Baby' is out tomorrow. I'm really enjoying 'Never Know' currently!

Sunday Main Stage: Mumford & Sons Jorja Smith / Lola Young / Tate McRae / Wet Leg (A-Z) Sunday New Music Stage: JADE FLO / Joy Crookes / Self Esteem / South Arcade (A-Z)

Great news!

Much better lineup for Saturday! Main Stage: Sam Fender Blossoms / Myles Smith / Tom Odell / Wolf Alice (A-Z) New Music Stage: Aitch B2B AJ Tracey Artemas / Good Neighbours / Inhaler / Jordan Adetunji Just one woman (in a 75% male band) across the two main stages is a little surprising though.

Their second album 'Parasites & Butterflies' is out on 29th August! Second single 'Soprano' is out now:

Three Empire Of The Sun songs in the chart today! Great to see them having a bit of a resurgence! 148: We Are The People 193: The Spins (Mac Miller & Empire Of The Sun) 196: Walking On A Dream

Crawlers & Fat Dog both feel pretty big for the BBC Introducing stage in amongst loads of much smaller artists.

At least it seems Radio 1 will likely support Biffy Clyro's new music at their average age of 44.333333... - there should be a new album this year.

New single is a pretty good return! Hopefully Radio 1 get on board, although they've only just playlisted 'All I Ever Asked'.

Tom Grennan is headlining Friday of Big Weekend - feels like a very weak choice compared to previous years. Also on that day are Biffy Clyro, James Hype & The Wombats (main stage), Confidence Man, Barry Can't Swim, D.O.D., Jazzy, Katy B, Nia Archives & Prospa ("New Music" stage).

Ghost for me also this week. Ghost Volbeat Elton John Spiritbox Rachel Chinouriri Black Country, New Road Tennis Bryan Adams

Rumours also going around that he'll be performing at the Eurovision final this year.

Ah nice! Hopefully it'll release that day then.

Currently in the studio together - I can't believe this thread was created over 5 years ago now! https://www.instagram.com/p/DG5szI2o6Mr/

Sleep Token are back! Their first new single since massively blowing up in 2023 can be pre-saved here: https://www.showmehowtodanceforever.com/anewoffering/ It'll be interesting to see where it charts, I think it'll go at least Top 40.

In other news, 'Still... At Their Very Best (Live From The AO Arena, Manchester, 17.02.24)' is out on streaming platforms today with a physical release on 30th May! Great to have the new version of 'A Change of Heart' on streaming, with added sax & a female verse.

I'm not too fussed with the second single, but really enjoying the title track currently - great to see it on Radio 1's A-list this week.

I can't get enough of 'A Question of You' right now!

I felt that around 2020-2021 tbf, I think Notes On a Conditional Form harmed their momentum a lot - but Being Funny in a Foreign Language and especially their 2023 tour put them right back on track. They've never sold as many tickets in the UK before as they did that year, and sold out another arena tour at mainly the same venues exactly a year later. They've been quiet for a while now obviously, but I think their next lead single could finally get them a Top 10 single.
