Their debut album, Who Let The Dogs Out, is set to drop on January 10, 2025. Accompanying the album is their edgy single “Big D*** Energy,” which tackles themes of toxic masculinity with sharp wit. Phoebe Lunny and Lilly Macieira, who make up the duo, promise to deliver performances filled with high-energy and thought-provoking lyrics. Fans can expect to see them live not long after their album release, as they prepare to hit various stages across the UK.
Orla Gartland is another artist who is set to captivate audiences with her tour supporting her new album Everybody Needs A Hero. The tour kicks off at Pumpehuset in Copenhagen on March 10, 2025, and will take her through cities like Berlin, Amsterdam, and eventually to the UK for shows at renowned venues including SWG3 TV Studio in Glasgow on March 31.

Tickets are flying off the shelves as fans rally to attend her shows, eager to experience her powerful voice and relatable lyrics up close.
But it doesn’t stop with these two. Anticipation is also building around Porridge Radio's upcoming album, Clouds in the Sky They Will Always Be There For Me, which is set to release soon. The band has already unveiled the video for the single “God Of Everything Else,” showcasing their signature blend of alt-rock and poignant lyricism. Lead singer Dana Margolin has been candid about her struggles, and she candidly addresses themes of heartbreak and self-worth through her music, making her performances particularly relatable and moving.
Music enthusiasts are also gearing up for additional delight with other multifaceted artists like Panda Bear, who just released his new video for “Defense.” The vibrancy of his sound combined with the immersive visuals promises to excite audience members during his live sets, as he takes part in festivals and tour dates next year.
Events are not limited to just solo acts either; collaborative performances are perfect for bringing varied musical styles to the stage. Artists like The Libertines, known for their electrifying live shows, are gearing up for their own set of performances. Their fanbase, always eager for the raw energy they bring, will surely be gathering wherever they play.
And then there's Maxïmo Park, who continues to redefine their sound. They are expected to announce their tours leading up to their newest album Stream Of Life, blending Britpop nostalgia with contemporary pulse and rhythm.
