Kentucky alt rockers CAGE THE ELEPHANT celebrate their 20th anniversary
as a band this year. They will party in 2027 around the UK and Europe. The
tour is dubbed ‘Dying In Reverse Tour’ (a hint to a new album title?)
Their latest album, their 6th, Neon Pill, came out in 2024, and
last July they released a single titled Beaches In Tennessee.
Ticket Info HERE.
Last year RADIOHEAD returned to
the live stage with concerts in the UK
and Europe.
Now they have dropped dates for shows
in Australia and Japan next year.
But not any hint whatsoever about new music.
It’s already 10 years now since their 9th album
A Moon Shaped Pool.

Steamed-up American rockers THE MENZINGERS from Scranton, Pennsylvania
celebrate their 20th anniversary as a band. They did it, for starters, with their
new, 8th LP, called EVERYTHING I EVER SAW, that came out last July.
It’s a turbo-charged record stuffed with highly passionate, mesmeric
pieces of intensely emotional music, lyrically, vocally and sonically.
Kerrang says: “Diametrically opposed life experiences for The Menzinger’s two frontmen ensures this eight album beautifully captures the whole spectrum of human emotion one of band’s very best. As a result, their melodic punk reflects both the macro and the micro, the universal and the personal. You get the country as a whole told through the very specific, individual experiences of co-frontmen Tom May and Greg Barnett.”

Glamorous Danish indie rockers ICEAGE, fronted by charismatic frontman Elias Bender Rønnenfelt released their 6th full-length, named For Love Of Grace & The Hereafter last May.
TUTV said: “Iceage return with sonic panacherie and a sense of urgency, rockier and punkier than on predecessor Seek Shelter. Rønnenfelt is omnipresent, although obviously
in a feverish place of his own, torn from reality at times.”

They’ll promote it in the US next year.

Trip-hop luminary TRICKY (born Adrian Nicholas Matthews Thaws in Bristol, UK, 58 years ago) released his supreme 15th full-length Different When It’s Silent 3 weeks ago.
TUTV said: The longtime trip-hop master didn’t/doesn’t change his sonic palette for
the past few years/albums. Not necessary whatsoever to my satisfied ears. His
tense and tenebrific trademark synth-grooves, mostly mid-tempo, still have a transfixing and
chilling effect.
And as ever, a vocal partner (in the early years Martina Topley-Bird, then Marta Zlakowska and Francesca Belmonte as the most notable) is an instrumental part
of Tricky‘s overall bewildering sound.
This time it’s young, riveting Bristol voice Mitch Sanders who co-stars for the greater
part with Tricky‘s whispering vocals in the back, engendering the familiar, spookish twilight atmosphere. Again Tricky makes you feel comfortable in his cliffhanging cosmic space.”

BOB DYLAN, arguably the greatest singer-songwriter ever, started
his so-called Never Ending Tour ages ago. Even at 85, he doesn’t like
to sit in a lazy chair at home. He thrives on playing live like no one
else (I know).
He’s in the middle of another extensive world tour. ALL DATES HERE.
And he’ll return to the UK in November/December.
TICKET INFO HERE.
How does it feel to tour forever like a rolling stone, Bob?
