A starting-point route through the artists Olivia Rodrigo has named, from confessional pop writers to the post-punk and rock touchstones around her third album.

The Georgia band’s name comes down to Andy Hull’s Smiths-heavy summer and an early ambition to make room for his friends.

In March 2025, Lady Gaga used MAYHEM and an Innovator Award speech to reject the idea that women approaching 40 should stop changing pop on their own terms.

Kofi Stone, Daudi Matsiko, Scorcher, HotWax and more join the MediaCity event this October.

Creeper’s 2023 single pushed their gothic framework towards electronic darkwave without leaving its theatrical world behind.

Rosie O’Donnell will take over as the Narrator for a two-week run at Studio 54 this October.

From a Dua Lipa and Silk City co-write to ‘Lifetime’, ‘Lights Out’, ‘Strong’ and a pop-minded Live Lounge session, Romy’s route into dance-pop is there in the credits and collaborations.

The two Swedish pop stars swapped remixes across Zara Larsson’s ‘Midnight Sun: Girls Trip’ and Robyn’s ‘Sexistential’ reworks.

Gillian Gilbert has corrected reports around New Order’s touring absence, confirming that husband Stephen Morris is well.

The Mute release arrives on 20th November, with new material, remixes and a PUNCHBAG reworking of ‘Love Machine’.

Stillz’s feature debut follows teenagers who steal a TV camera in 1980s Medellín, extending the visual energy of his Bad Bunny work into a haunted found-footage drama.

Lime Garden’s Abbey Road cover offers a route into the guitar-and-synth tension and emotional motion of their second album.

Yard Act’s eight-minute 2023 single made a communal, euphoric case for abandoning the limits of their early post-punk template.

A listening route through the reciprocal collaborations linking PinkPantheress’ remix, Tyla’s ‘She Did It Again’ and Robyn’s ‘Talk To Me, Zara’ to ‘Midnight Sun: Girls Trip’.

From T. Rex riffs and John Lennon piano to Mellotron strings and lessons from Electronic, Oasis’ influences went deeper than their record collections.

Stillz swaps pop’s polished frames for a five-day, Betacam-shot vision of 1980s Medellín in his first feature, Barrio Triste.

Across ‘Confessions II – The Film’ and ‘Bring Your Love’, Madonna turns a crowded club into a place of connection, ritual and temporary disappearance.

The experimental music festival takes place at Canterbury’s Gulbenkian Arts Centre from 1st-4th July 2027.

The post-hardcore group’s first project in almost three decades arrives via Dischord Records.

The drummer is still playing, but says his health prevents extended trips abroad.

A Barcelona livestream directed by Daniel Sannwald previews the 16-track XL Recordings release.

Robyn, Geese, Jorja Smith, Romy, Mitski and Thundercat all feature.

New track follows three decades of friendship between the two artists.
It's another cut from his upcoming solo album.
