Genesis Publications proudly announces that pre-orders are now open for VAN HALEN, written and signed by Alex Van Halen. This is the official chronicle of the band, published in a limited edition of only 1,500 signed and numbered copies worldwide. The book traces the brothers’ journey from their childhood in Pasadena, California, and the band’s early days playing backyard parties, to the release and world tour of their chart-topping album 1984.  Deep Purple will release their new studio album SPLAT! on July 3rd on earMUSIC. Subtitled 'Music for the end of humanity (…but not as grim as it may seem)', the set was once again produced by long time collaborator Bob Ezrin.  Legendary producer/songwriter/ guitarist Todd Rundgren is expanding his 2026 Damned If I Do Tour with a major slate of newly added dates! This new leg of the tour includes new locations in the US, as well as extending the tour to the UK and the EU.  The Great Escape week just got louder! Planetary Group and Impressive PR return to Brighton for their third year at the Secret Comedy Club, taking over the venue for a full‑throttle, all‑day celebration of global new music. This isn’t just another side‑show - it’s an official Alternative Escape showcase, and one of the most consistently exciting spots to discover tomorrow’s breakout artists before the rest of the festival catches on. The Secret Comedy Club has become a cult favourite during TGE: intimate, atmospheric, and always packed with industry heads who know exactly where the real magic happens.  For the first time ever, New Zealand will be the focus country at The Great Escape Festival in Brighton. The New Zealand Music Commission and Live Nation New Zealand are proud to present 10 Kiwi artists this year taking over the whole of Patterns. The event will take place 12pm – 4pm on Thursday 14th May.  After nine years, Europe return with 'Come This Madness', their 12th studio album and their most powerful, uncompromising statement to date. Come This Madness is set for release on September 25th via Silver Lining Music / Hell & Back Recordings.

The album will be released June 5th 2026.  Multi-platinum rock powerhouse THEORY OF A DEADMAN returns with their hard-hitting new single, “Barricade.” Marking a new chapter for the band, the track delivers their signature mix of gritty riffs, anthemic hooks and unfiltered lyricism with a renewed sense of urgency.  Bringing summer a little bit closer, the original and best retro festival, Rewind has announced ‘a little bit more’ to the 2026 Henley-on-Thames festival – Ooh Aah! Those coming along from Friday 21st August to Sunday 23rd August can now extend their enjoyment to two further line ups in addition to the star-studded main stage line up.  |
