Following a string of high-profile EU/UK festival slots and recent support dates with metal icons Kittie earlier this year, alt-metal outfit Holy Wars have released a cover of ‘Hurts’ by Nine Inch Nails, following their stunning performance of the track at a church in Los Angeles recently.

THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA have announced a winter 2026 UK and EU headline tour. Taking place throughout October, the run will see the band travel across Europe before concluding in the UK with shows in Bristol, Leeds, London (October 23), Manchester, and Birmingham.

The atmosphere at the Electric Ballroom on Thursday, December 11, 2025, was absolutely dialled up from the moment the doors opened. With Of Mice & Men headlining, you knew you were in for veteran-level aggression, but the support acts turned it into an event. Gore. hit the stage first with a look into the future and a clear statement that female-fronted metalcore is just vital right now. Then GHØSTKID dragged us straight into this theatrical, industrial fever dream. By the time OM&M took over, the whole place was already cooked. This three-band punch wasn't just strong; it was a loud, aggressive reminder that heavy music is more intelligent, tougher, and more resilient than anyone gives it credit for.

Pop-rock innovators Waterparks have unveiled the official music video for their latest single, ‘ANY MINUTE NOW,’ out now via BMG. The release arrives as the band closes out the U.S. leg of The Prowler Tour, which wraps next week with a final stop in Los Angeles on December 18.

After playing in Leeds and Manchester, King Princess eventually finished the UK leg of her ‘Girl Violence’ tour in London, at the Electric Brixton. The queer fan girlies were in for a treat, being introduced for the first time to another queer singer opening for KP, Susannah Joff. Both American artists were here to deliver.

Following a triumphant UK headline tour, Ontario-based modern grunge sibling duo Softcult return today with their new single ‘Queen Of Nothing’, taken from their forthcoming debut full-length album When A Flower Doesn’t Grow, due 30 January 2026 via Easy Life Records.

December is gift month, and Rock Werchter is joining the celebration. Beneath the Christmas tree in Werchter lie 21 freshly wrapped acts, ready to be unboxed.

Unapologetic and empowered, pop-punk powerhouse Taylor Acorn has unveiled a 15-date UK and European tour for 2026. Fresh off her sold-out London show this autumn, the tour marks the arrival of her acclaimed new album, Poster Child, which has earned praise from critics worldwide.

Don Broco are back, and in more ways than one. It's been almost 7 years since they last graced the stage of Wembley Arena. It's also been two years since they announced during their ‘Birthday Party’ tour that they were off to write an album. At the time they admitted they tend to take a bloody age to do that and fans have been waiting patiently since. With only a couple of outings for the band in the interim, this run of shows is where Broco burst back onto a scene that has been missing them all too acutely.

Blending the punchy riffs of J-rock, the spirit of indie rock, and the raw bite of pop-punk, Toronto’s wildly popular Good Kid have announced their long-awaited debut album, Can We Hang Out Sometime?, set for release on 3 April 2026. To celebrate, the band will embark on their biggest headline tour yet, spanning North America, the UK, and Europe.

Worn Out Tuesday on December 2, 2025, proved that the rawest, most vital energy in London music thrives not just in arenas, but also in the sweaty confines of  Sebright Arms. Featuring the audacious debut of Funny, the pop-punk punch of Luxury Apartments, and the politically charged headliners Buds., the night was a celebratory showcase of the UK's thriving DIY alternative scene.
