“In the depths of Mexico City, a maelstrom of sound has been brewing, Sunset Images, a sonic entity -fueled by the unyielding passion of Samuel Osorio- has transcended the influences of krautrock, shoegaze, and punk into a layered soundscape of dissonance, cathartic release, and emotional depth.With a growing reputation for their intense live performances, Sunset Images has shared stages with notable bands, toured extensively across multiple continents and released a series of EPs and a LP that confront violence, racism and misogyny, and had dealt with subjects like loneliness, anger and desperation.This journey has lead them into their highly anticipated debut with Dedstrange, the label founded by none other than the mastermind behind A Place To Bury Strangers and the FX pedal company Death by Audio, Oliver Ackermann, who sought out and brought them into the Dedstrange tribe of sonic outcasts, where Sunset Images has found the perfect home and only label that could match their vision for massively distorted and inextricable sound.Their new album, “Oscilador”, set to drop on January 23, 2026, is a sonic resistance manifesto that embodies the perpetual cycle of birth, decay, chaos, and resolution that rules our world. Fractured synths, pulsating vocals, primitive drum beats, and feedback-drenched guitars collide, creating an aural landscape that’s both disorienting and irresistible – brutal, raw, and honest, yet accessible, chaotic, and beautiful, like the world itself.”

Concealing his identity with a black balaclava, Jaguar Skills is a DJ with a comprehensive knowledge of hip-hop, DnB and dubstep. Since 2002, the producer has hashed together cut-n-paste style mixes for BBC Radio 1, Ministry Of Sound and Capital XTRA. He cemented his name as a hip-hop buff with 1976-2006: A Hip-Hop Odyssey (2006), a genre-defining mixtape combining 800 hip-hop hits. A tourmate of The Prodigy, his bass-heavy, immersive sets have become a fixture on the UK festival circuit and Ibiza club scene.

Every month Adventures in Pop presents live original music from the other side of the tracks… this month it’s CHOPCHOP

NOT the Italian Reggae mob!

Brighton’s CHOPCHOP deal in jagged art-rock and punchy post-punk, built for the stage: sharp angles, propulsive grooves, and a frontman who treats the mic like a theatre spotlight. Expect a set that’s restless, wired, and joyfully unclassifiable.

Nicky Blackmarket is one of the original pioneers of drum and bass, and he is still the most faithful soldier for the scene around the world.

His early influences came from his mother’s background in the jazz scene, and it is improvisation and variety that characterise his DJ performances throughout his career.

At the start of the eighties, Nicky was 14 and playing electro at youth clubs in London. He played with long-time collaborator Clarky and began to mix all forms of dance music, at house parties and on the radio.

Join us for a rare and entertaining evening with legendary satirical comedian and self-styled “stupid idiot”, Harry Enfield.

From the meteoric rise of Loadsamoney, a Thatcherite Visionary, to the fury of Kevin the Teenager, Harry will reflect on 40 years of arsing about in comedy and bring some of his favourite characters vividly back to life on stage.

Then it’s over to your questions: your chance to ask how it all works for him, what he’s most proud of, and what he says to the many who ask, “You wouldn’t be allowed to do your stuff today, would you?”

Don’t miss an unforgettable evening with a brilliantly silly and strikingly insightful comedian.

The Boo Radleys announce a May 2026 tour “IN SPITE OF EVERYTHING”, the name of their forthcoming ninth studio album, completing a remarkable 35-year evolution from shoegaze pioneers to fearless sonic explorers.

Iconic British alternative rock trio The Boo Radleys today confirm details of the “IN SPITE OF EVERYTHING” tour in May 2026. The tour is named after their ninth studio album, scheduled for release in May 2026 via BOOSTR Records. Fresh off the sold-out success of their first tour in France in 25 years, the announcement marks another triumphant chapter for the band who have spent three and a half decades refusing to be pigeonholed, evolving from noisy shoegaze pioneers through psychedelic experimentalists and Britpop chart-toppers to their current incarnation as mature, contemplative pop craftsmen.

Comprised of original members Dr Simon ‘Sice’ Rowbottom(vocals, guitar, keyboards), Tim Brown (vocals, bass, guitar, keyboards), and Rob Cieka (vocals, drums), The Boo Radleys remain one of British alternative rock’s most important and influential acts. For this tour The Boo Radleys have chosen to play smaller, more intimate, venues to serve fans who don’t live near the major cities.

Though known most widely for their 90s call to arms Ginger, and their TV superstardom, on the Jack Doherty show, there is so much more to be drawn from the otherworldly experience that is a David Devant and his Spirit Wife performance.Not just glorious glam infused classic pop anthems, Ginger, Radar or the masterpiece debut album Work, Love life, Miscellaneous. A whole treasure trove of musical and visual treats await. The recent Cut Out and Keep Me album being up there with the best work of their career. The Piper is the perfect intimate setting for this Victoriana influenced brilliance. And it’s all done by kindness.

On the road again with their ALIVE AND GIGGING tour, this magnetic bond still holds after more than 50 years of attempted escapes. Still loved for their total in-yer-face originality, the contrast between the deadpan humour of Wild Willy Barrett and mad onstage antics of John Otway are hilarious to watch.

John’s lyrical genius is ably complimented by Willy’s outstanding musicianship (he seems to play almost every stringed instrument known to man, plus a few hybrids of his own making including the Bagpuss!)

For any Otway/Barrett virgins out there who don’t know what to expect, be prepared for everything from bare-chested theremin playing to wah wah wheelie bin as the duo jump from one hit and 40 near misses to another: An amazing and irreverent performance by two master entertainers.

Attention Earth! This is HENGE! Travelling from the far cornersof the galaxy, HENGE brings a unique sound to Planet Earth with music beyondthe ordinary.

Originally from Guadalajara and now based in Ensenada, Baja California, Lorelle Meets The Obsolete formed in 2011 around the core duo of Lorena Quintanilla and Alberto González. They quickly caught the attention of the psych scene with their first two albums, On Welfare and Corruptible Faces.

Since signing with UK label Sonic Cathedral in 2013, the band has toured extensively across Mexico, the UK, Europe, and the US. Over the past decade, their sound has gradually evolved from its psychedelic roots toward a more exploratory direction, incorporating analog synths and sonic search reminiscent of bands like Wire. This progression is evident across albums such as Chambers, Balance, De Facto, and Datura. Along the way, they’ve collaborated with artists like Emma Anderson (Lush), Dälek, and Pye Corner Audio, and have earned fans in the likes of Henry Rollins and Iggy Pop.

An unexpected second chapter in the Haircut One Hundred story gathered pace last year when their irresistible first single in forever, The Unloving Plum, became Radio 2’s Record of the Week. It was a track which showed the magic that inspired their classic ‘80s hits – Favourite Shirts (Boy Meets Girl), Love Plus One, Fantastic Day and Nobody’s Fool.

Now that comeback steps up a gear as they announce that their new album ‘Boxing The Compass’ will be released on March 20 2026. They launch the album alongside the new single ‘Dynamite’, which was premiered this morning by Scott Mills on Radio 2, and also reveal details of their first full UK headline tour since 2023.

The Loft – May 2026 UK tour

“There is no wine before its time” – Lenny Kaye
“The long game is one the Loft have played rather well” – MOJO “An unassuming masterpiece” – Louder Than War

The Loft, original Creation Records legends, set out on a UK tour in May 2026 in the wake of their rave-reviewed Top 20 album, ‘Everything Changes, Everything Stays the Same’, and a string of sold out dates, including touring with The Wedding Present, last year.

This year the band aims to visit towns and cities across the UK that they didn’t play last time, with a new album set to be released to coincide with the shows.

The band heads out on tour, 41 years, almost to the day, since their classic ‘Up The Hill And Down The Slope’, topped the indie singles chart.

Since their infamous onstage split at the Hammersmith Palais in 1985, their status as one of the UK’s most influential guitar bands of the ‘80s continues to grow and to influence a host of younger artists.

“We played some fantastic sell out shows with brilliant audiences last year, but we just couldn’t fit in gigs everywhere that wanted us to play,” says guitarist, Andy Strickland, “now, with even more new songs to play, plus our ‘greatest hits’, we can’t wait to get back onstage.”

“From what people told us last year, the band is sounding better than ever, and the new songs have kind of picked up where we left off all those years ago, so the set is a celebration of both old and new,” adds singer Pete Astor. “We’re really very excited, and grateful, to be able to still do this.”

The full May 2026 tour dates are:
Thursday 7 May: Oxford, Common Ground Friday 8 May: Bristol, The Croft
Saturday 9 May: Swansea, The Bunkhouse Thursday 21 May: Leicester, The Big Difference Friday 22 May: Gateshead, Central Bar Saturday 23 May: Edinburgh, Voodoo Rooms Thursday 28 May: Sheffield, The Greystones Friday 29 May: Cambridge, The Portland Saturday 30 May: Hastings, The Piper
