Synthpop wizard Vince Clarke was responsible for some of the most indelible jams of the early ’80s, but he took a while to find a stable artistic partnership. Clarke wrote most of the song’s on Depeche Mode’s classic 1981 debut Speak & Spell, then left the group. He formed Yazoo with Alison Moyet, but they only released two (excellent) LPs before breaking up. Finally, Clarke looked for collaborators by placing an ad in NME, and that’s how he found the singer Andy Bell. They became the duo Erasure, and they’ve been working together ever since.

We’re nearing the release of one last opus from Athens, Georgia’s Olivia Tremor Control, the psych-pop cult favorites and a core fixture of the Elephant 6 collective. Bill Doss and Will Cullen Hart, the Lennon and McCartney of the OTC, are no longer with us. But before they died — Doss in 2012, Hart in 2024 — they began work on a double album called The Same Place. Their bandmates finished the 27-track project, and it’s coming out next month.

British rocker Chez Kane is thrilled to reveal her brand new single, “Strip Me Down,” along with an official video, out now via Frontiers Music Srl. The song is taken from her latest studio album Reckless, which was released in March.
The release also includes “Hot Wired Heart,” a previously unreleased B-side, available on all streaming platforms.
Chez commented: “’Strip Me Down’ is another little piece of the Reckless story and I definitely wanted to turn up the heat with this one! It’s sexy, playful and a little bit naughty, with a real sense of temptation and attitude. Just when you thought we’d finished with Reckless, we’ve got a brand new music video for ‘Strip Me Down’ and a bonus track included.”
Chez Kane has firmly established herself as one of the most exciting voices in modern melodic rock, bringing the larger-than-life spirit of the genre’s golden era into the present day with soaring vocals, infectious hooks and unmistakable charisma.
Following the success of her first two albums, Chez returned in March with her third studio record, Reckless – an explosive collection of arena-ready anthems, slick guitar work and unapologetic ’80s-style swagger. Bigger in sound and richer in emotion, the album further cemented her reputation as a standout artist in the new generation of melodic rock.
Once again written and produced by Danny Rexon, frontman of Swedish hard rockers Crazy Lixx, Reckless built on the creative partnership that has helped define Chez’s solo career. Together, they have developed a sound that celebrates the glory days of melodic and hard rock while injecting them with fresh energy and modern production.
From glam-infused rockers to emotional slow-burners, Chez’s music is driven by huge choruses, memorable melodies and a powerhouse voice made for the biggest stages. Across three albums, her growing confidence and unmistakable personality have shown that she isn’t simply paying tribute to the sound of the ’80s – she’s helping carry it forward.
Now, following Reckless, Chez Kane opens the next chapter with a brand-new track, offering another dose of the energy, attitude and melodic firepower that have become her trademark, while giving fans their first taste of what comes next.
Bold, infectious and built to be played loud, Chez Kane continues to prove that melodic rock is very much alive – and she’s right at the heart of it.
Reckless is vilble to pre-order here.

Slipknot have booked the biggest tour of their career: a nineteen-date stadium run they’re calling the (sic)est Stadium Tour, opening at Wembley Stadium in London on July 3, 2027, crossing North America through July and August, and finishing with five South American stadiums in September. Marilyn Manson is on the bill — but only at Wembley and the five South American shows, not one US or Canadian date.
Bring Me The Horizon are on every North American date, and the openers rotate through Lamb of God, Lorna Shore, Hatebreed, Motionless In White, Polyphia, Loathe, Acid Bath, Kublai Khan TX and Vended depending on the city. Presales start Tuesday, September 29 at 10am local time, with general on-sale Friday, October 2 at 10am local through Live Nation. The Slipknot tour 2027 is the first time the band have headlined stadiums at this scale, and it arrives less than three weeks after they dropped their first new song in four years.

I spent a lot of years watching arena bands take the stadium leap on the radio side of the fence, and the tell was always the same. It’s not the headliner that decides whether the run works. It’s whether the bill under them is strong enough to fill a parking lot at five in the afternoon. Slipknot clearly know that, because they’ve stacked this thing like a festival that moves.
The press language calls these the biggest venues of the band’s thirty-year career, and for once that isn’t marketing stretch. Fenway Park. Soldier Field. Citi Field. SoFi Stadium. Chase Field. Nationals Park. Those aren’t rooms Slipknot have headlined before; those are rooms almost no metal band has headlined, ever.
The run opens July 3 at Wembley Stadium, which is the one date that stands alone. Nothing else in Europe, nothing else in the UK. One night in London and then straight across the Atlantic for thirteen North American dates starting in Washington on July 16. It closes with five South American stadiums, São Paulo through Bogotá, between September 4 and 16.
Brand new staging and a career-spanning set are promised. Given what the current Slipknot lineup looks like now, career-spanning is going to mean something different than it did two years ago.
LIVE & LOUD: Stream the World’s Hardest Radio Station 24/7Here’s the name that made every editor in the business sit up. Marilyn Manson is on the poster, and the internet did what the internet does inside about four minutes.
But read the routing before you react. Manson is on six of the nineteen dates: Wembley, and all five South American shows. He is not on a single North American date. If you’re buying a ticket in Chicago or Los Angeles, you’re getting Bring Me The Horizon and a rotating third act, and Manson is a rumour on a different continent.
That’s a very deliberate booking. Manson’s recent history is tangled: the Los Angeles County District Attorney declined to file criminal charges in January 2025, citing the statute of limitations and the evidence available, but a civil lawsuit from a former assistant is headed to a jury trial in November 2027, revived under a California law that reopened a window for older claims. Manson has categorically denied any wrongdoing in relation to every allegation made against him, and his lawyers have said publicly they’re confident the case never reaches a courtroom.
Slipknot didn’t put him on any US date. Draw whatever conclusion you like from that; I have mine. What I’ll say is that as a live act, Manson in 2026 has been better than he’s been in fifteen years. If you’ve gone back through the Manson catalogue ranked recently, you know the peak is real. Whether the Wembley crowd wants to hear it is a question for July.
This is the part that decides whether your night is worth the money, so here’s the full map.
Wembley Stadium, July 3 — Marilyn Manson and Hatebreed. Some reports had Lorna Shore on this date as well; the official routing does not list them, so don’t buy on that assumption.
North America — Bring Me The Horizon are on every date from Washington to Phoenix. The third act rotates:
South America — Marilyn Manson and Hatebreed on every date:
Two things jump out. Acid Bath opening a baseball stadium in New York is the most 2027 sentence I’ve typed this year, and I mean that as a compliment. And Montréal, with Vended on the bill, is the one night you get Corey Taylor’s kid’s band and Corey Taylor’s band on the same stage. That’s a family reunion with pyro.
This isn’t the Slipknot that last toured. Since the end of the last cycle, the band confirmed Sid Wilson’s exit after the messiest public departure in their history, Craig Jones is gone from the sampler station, and Eloy Casagrande has been behind the kit since Jay Weinberg was let go. Three chairs changed, and the stadium tour is the first time most fans will see the result.
The one piece of new music is ‘Arsenal,’ the surprise single from earlier this month — the first recording with Casagrande and the first without Wilson and Jones. Jim Root was careful to say it was just the song they could finish soonest, not a lead single, and there is still no confirmed new Slipknot album. So the honest expectation for July 2027 is a set built on the back catalogue, which, if you’ve spent any time with the Slipknot albums ranked, you know is not a problem.
Additional presales run through the week and vary by market. Local time means local time; the Toronto presale is not the Phoenix presale. São Paulo and Lima are non-Live Nation dates, so check the venue directly.
The Slipknot tour 2027 opens July 3, 2027 at Wembley Stadium in London. The first North American date is July 16 at Nationals Park in Washington, DC, and the run ends September 16 in Bogotá, Colombia.
Yes, on six of the nineteen dates: Wembley Stadium and all five South American shows. He is not on any North American date. Manson has denied all allegations against him; a civil lawsuit is scheduled for trial in November 2027.
Artist presale is Tuesday, September 29 at 10am local time, the Knotfest presale is the same day at 12pm local, and general public on-sale is Friday, October 2 at 10am local time through Live Nation.
Bring Me The Horizon on every North American date, plus a rotating act per city: Lamb of God, Lorna Shore, Motionless In White, Polyphia, Loathe, Acid Bath, Kublai Khan TX or Vended. Marilyn Manson and Hatebreed open Wembley and the South American dates.
No. Sid Wilson’s departure from Slipknot was confirmed in 2026, and Craig Jones has also left. This is the first Slipknot tour with Eloy Casagrande on drums and without either of them.

UK prog rebels Frost* will return to the stage for six UK shows in Spring 2027 to celebrate a multitude of milestones as 2026 marks the 20th anniversary of ‘Milliontown’ as well as the 10th anniversary of ‘Falling Satellites.’ The band will reunite onstage for the first time in five years to play a full two-hour set showcasing songs from all five Frost* albums, including the long-awaited live debut of the most recent award-winning and hugely acclaimed album “Life In The Wires.’ Tickets on sale Friday October 2nd, 10 am UK time here:
https://www.thegigcartel.com/Artists-profiles/Frost.htm
To further commemorate the anniversaries of ‘Milliontown’ and ‘Falling Satellites’, the band are working on a re-recorded version of ‘Milliontown’ featuring the now-considered classic lineup of Jem Godfrey, John Mitchell, Nathan King and Craig Blundell as well as an updated recording of ‘Falling Satellites’ for later release.
“It’s going to be the longest set we’ve ever played at 2 hours and we hope to cram as much in as we can from the entire back catalogue. That said, we also need to give Life In The Wires a bit of a spin too don’t we? Nice problem to have really.” – Jem Godfrey
