Daytime TV have revealed all of the details of their new era, embodied in their upcoming full-length ‘Rodeo’.

The record will be released on February 17 2027 via Marshall Records, and serves as the follow-up to 2022’s ‘Nothing’s On But Everyone’s Watching’.

Vocalist Will Irvine had this to say about the album:

“When you come close to losing everything, all your inhibitions disappear. You stop caring about trying to fit into a specific genre or pleasing anyone else. Rodeo is about stepping boldly into who we really are as a band and as people. It’s an album built on energy, survival, and pure conviction.”

The artwork looks like this:

Whilst the tracklisting is more like this:


1. Sun
2. Pause
3. Feels
4. Creature
5. Meditate
6. Power
7. Love Isn’t That Simple
8. Messiah
9. Rise
10. Anger Mgmt
11. Faithless

The announcement comes alongside the release of new track ‘Meditate’. A shimmering, soulful piece of late-night neon-soaked pop-rock, it’s a perfect summation of everything that the album is set to represent in sound and stature.

Will had this to add about how it was conceived:

“Written during a heatwave, ‘Meditate’ is a nostalgic look back at what could have been. A chance missed, the ‘what if’ of THAT relationship. Maybe we could’ve done better. Everything was there for us but we let it pass us by and now our lives have gone in different directions. Dreaming about how life would’ve been different if things had worked out, then snapping back to the present day reality to “meditate & medicate” which is what I was prescribed to reset my nervous system at the time we wrote the song.”

The band are on the road across the UK as we speak. Here is where you can catch them:

Eric Clapton has announced four 2027 shows at his traditional second home, London’s Royal Albert Hall. The guitarist will play the 5000-capacity venue on May 20, 21, 23 and 24, preceded by a one-off date at Birmingham’s BP Pulse Live on May 17.

A fan club presale will begin tomorrow (October 15), followed by the general sale on Friday via Bookings Direct.

Clapton continues to make history at the Royal Albert Hall, where he first performed as a member of The Yardbirds in December 1964. His next shows at the venue were Cream‘s famous “Farewell” dates in 1968, and the band returned to the same stage for their reunion in 2005.

It’s as a solo artist that Clapton has made his biggest impression on the venue, and our ropey arithmetic tells us that Clapton’s final night at the Hall next year will be his 220th. This run includes numerous residencies, including the run of shows in 1990 and 1991 that resulted in the 24 Nights box set.

“It’s a very comfortable, homey place for me,” Clapton told the BBC in 1990. “I tend to think of it as mine. It’s got a very genteel, sophisticated and yet comfortable atmosphere.”

Last month, Clapton curated his Crossroads Guitar Festival at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas, appearing alongside the likes of Joe Bonamassa, Gary Clark Jr., Billy Gibbons, Buddy Guy, Taj Mahal, John Mayer, the Tedeschi Tracks Band and many more. Footage of the shows is available to watch online for a limited time.

Conrad Lant, the frontman for Venom, took the stage name Cronos, pioneered black metal and more or less made Satan a sideman. He has died at 63.

The Sex Pistols (Steve Jones, Paul Cook, and Glen Matlock) featuring Frank Carter brought their “Anarchy in the U.K./ 50 Years of Punk” tour to a sold-out show at Washington, DC’s 9:30 Club on Tuesday, 29 September 2026. For support, they brought Essex, U.K.’s Bad Nerves as the opener. My husband (…And We All Die) is a huge Sex Pistols fan and some of their songs, particularly “Pretty Vacant” and “Bodies,” are regulars around the house. So, it was fun for both of us to experience seeing these three old-timers celebrating songs they wrote half a century ago.

The crowd began lining up for the show sometime before 1:00 pm that afternoon, with other old-timers and eager fans putting in the sweat equity to ensure spots against the barrier, especially because the show was sold out. Who could blame them? Who could believe they’d have a chance to see this band play a venue of this size. I’m grateful my husband showed early enough to secure us a spot in front of Mr. Jones, aka Jonesy.

• Bad Nerves setlist:
• “Baby Drummer”
• “Plastic Rebel”
• “NETWORK”
• “USA”
• “Loner”
• “Radio Punk”
• “Antidote”
• “You’ve Got The Nerve”
• “Can’t Be Mine Dreaming”

Throughout their set, Frank Carter alternated between the stage and floor, inciting crowd participation in the night’s punk rock performance. At times, the crowd was running a circle pit around him as Carter sang, and at others they were standing, as if fueling his energy with their own raging angst. At one point, Carter sought to ensure that the women in the crowd had their own chance to dance by mandating a female-only circle pit. This was something quite incredible to experience. Unfortunately, I’m short and couldn’t get upstairs in time to photograph this circle pit, but there are plenty of photos and videos of it online. As a woman, it’s often difficult to appreciate punk and hardcore dancing, so it was refreshing to see several generations of women getting a chance to take over the dance floor.

The Sex Pistols played all the songs from their only real album, Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols, except Submission but they made up for this omission with covers of Paul Revere and the Raiders’ “I’m Not Your Stepping Stone” (also covered by the Monkees and Washington, DC’s own Minor Threat), The Stooges’ “No Fun,” and “My Way,” from Paul Anka (also covered by the Sex Pistols’ Sid Vicious). For me, the songs that really moved me were “God Save The Queen,” because I was on the balcony and saw the crowd go wild and sing along as if they were singers for the band. That’s not to say that the crowd didn’t participate in other songs, it really just speaks to the power of seeing so many people coming together for something as fun and memorable and historic as seeing The Sex Pistols play the 9:30 Club.

What more can I say? It was a great night with great bands. Several generations of fans showed up on a school night to celebrate songs that for some were the soundtrack of their youth and for others are songs referenced in history books. After seeing them live, I have a greater appreciation for their songs and for what their songs mean to people. If you chose not to show up because their original singer, Mr. John Lydon (aka Johnny Rotten) wasn’t on board, then you missed out. I can’t and won’t argue that their the same or better than they would have been with Lydon, but they were fantastic. At moments during their show, you could see Jones, Cook, and Matlock vibing off one another and enjoying the opportunity to share songs that made their careers and inspired so many others to play punk rock. At times, Matlock stared at the crowd in amazement as if he was wondering why they hadn’t done this sooner. I have the same thoughts as well.

• Sex Pistols setlist:
• “Holidays in the Sun” (Sex Pistols song)
• “Seventeen” (Sex Pistols song)
• “New York” (Sex Pistols song)
• “Pretty Vacant” (Sex Pistols song)
• “Bodies” (Sex Pistols song)
• “I’m Not Your Stepping Stone” (Paul Revere and the Raiders cover)
• “Liar” (Sex Pistols song)
• “God Save the Queen” (Sex Pistols song)
• “No Fun” (The Stooges cover) (Included band intros and “Low Rider” snippet)
• “No Feelings” (Sex Pistols song)
• “Problems” (Sex Pistols song)
• “E.M.I.” (Sex Pistols song)
• “My Way” (Paul Anka cover)
• “Anarchy in the U.K.” (Sex Pistols song)

Fortress Festival has announced ten more acts for its 2027 edition, with Watain set to headline a new Friday night event as the Scarborough festival expands its programme to three days.

Taking place at Scarborough Spa in North Yorkshire from 28-30 May 2027, the festival celebrates its fifth anniversary with Fortress: First Light, a separately ticketed Friday evening show in the Grand Hall. Watain will deliver a UK-exclusive performance, joined by Polish Black Metal outfit Terrestrial Hospice for their UK debut.

Fortress Festival 2027: New Bands Announced

The main weekend lineup now includes Colorado’s melodic Black Metal band Stormkeep, Norway’s Mare and German Lovecraftian Death Metal act Sulphur Aeon, all appearing as UK exclusives. British Black Metal band Ninkharsag also returns with an exclusive set following two years of relative silence.

Belgian atmospheric Black Metal artists Silver Knife and Oerheks will each make exclusive UK debuts, while Bloodbark is set for its first UK performance. Swedish dungeon synth artist Örnatorpet joins the theatre room programme for a UK-exclusive show.

Watain vocalist Erik Danielsson described the appearance as part of a final run of shows: “For one last time we will let the ancient fires of real Black Metal and spiritual liberation light up the night.”

Stormkeep said its exclusive set will draw on different chapters of the band’s history, including material never previously performed in the UK. Silver Knife also confirmed that their Scarborough performance will feature brand-new material.

Ninkharsag teased both their return to live performance and the prospect of new music, saying, “Our return begins with a handful of exclusive live rituals and beyond that, the shadows whisper of a new full-length invocation already taking form.”

Emperor Lead The Previously Announced Lineup

The new names join a bill headed by Emperor, who will play an exclusive UK headline show. Previously announced artists include Gris, Gràb, Yellow Eyes, Forteresse, Slagmaur, Havukruunu, Sinmara, Miserere Luminis, Tardigrada, Mourir, Trha and Dungeontroll.

The theatre’s dungeon synth programme also features Erang, Wraith Knight, Spectral Castle, Hole Dweller, Atlantean Sword, Lord Bakartia and DragonKeep.
