Hospitality On The Beach Launches Tisno’s First Festival Premium Yacht Experience for 2026

by

Hospitality’s flagship drum & bass holiday, Hospitality On The Beach is unveiling something truly unique for their 2026 edition. Partnering with luxury sailing specialists Nautica Collective to launch an exclusive new way to experience the festival: an intimate eight-day yacht voyage along Croatia’s stunning coastline before culminating at the festival’s home, The Garden Resort in Tisno.

The collaboration marks the first time a festival at the renowned Tisno destination, home to some of Europe’s most celebrated summer festivals, has offered an exclusive Adriatic yacht voyage as part of the festival experience. Festival tickets are included, with guests able to secure their cabin with a £500pp deposit and flexible payment plans available. For larger groups, a full five-cabin yacht can also be chartered exclusively for up to 10 guests.

Designed for music-loving travellers seeking a more elevated festival experience, the voyage delivers a balance of adventure, escapism and music. Guests enjoy private yacht living with the option to dip into one of electronic music’s most celebrated beachside festivals just minutes away on the shoreline. Each yacht accommodates up to 10 guests, creating an intimate environment more akin to a private charter than a traditional festival package, alongside curated dining and island exploration.


Lucy Buckmaster, Founder of Nautica Collective, said:“We’re incredibly excited to be taking Nautica to the next level in collaboration with the world’s leading drum & bass brand. With my background in music travel and festivals, creating music-led experiences has always been something I’m deeply passionate about, so this partnership feels especially exciting. By combining the energy of a destination festival with a premium yacht adventure over eight days, we’re creating something truly unique for fans – a one-of-a-kind experience that pushes the boundaries of what a music festival can be.”

Guests will spend eight days and seven nights aboard a premium five-cabin sailing catamaran exploring Croatia’s Dalmatian islands before arriving in Tisno as Hospitality On The Beach unfolds at the iconic Garden Resort. Each yacht comes with a dedicated skipper and onboard chef, with all meals and drinks included, while the flexible sailing itinerary allows guests to discover hidden coves, swim in crystal-clear waters and anchor in picturesque island towns along the way. The experience also offers seamless access to the festival, with transfers to boat parties and Barbarella’s afterparties on the mainland, plus easy airport-to-dock transport.

Arriving in Tisno on 30th June, guests will have exclusive access to the festival’s private pre-party, before the full festival experience begins on 1 July. From then on, they can step ashore to experience Hospitality’s legendary atmosphere from the Beach Stage, Olive Grove Stage and the Main Stage to sunset boat parties and the famous after-hours sessions at Barbarella’s, with a heavyweight programme featuring the likes of Sub Focus, Andy C, Metrik, Kings of the Rollers, Calibre, Dillinja, Flava D, Lens and more.

Optional curated experiences are also available onboard including, onboard wine tastings featuring Croatian wines hosted by wine expert Domm The Somm (aka Dynamite MC who will be performing at the festival), intimate sunset DJ sets at anchor from Hospital Records artists, and private vineyard tours on nearby islands.

The full sailing experience runs 27th June to 4th July 2026 to align with the 2026 edition of Hospitality On The Beach, which celebrates 30 years of the influential Hospital Records label and brings together a global community of fans in Croatia each summer. Now entering its seventh year, Hospitality On The Beach has become one of electronic music’s most sought-after destination events, attracting guests from across Europe, North America, Australia and beyond for a week of music, sunshine and connection along the Adriatic coast.

The new sailing partnership introduces a completely new accommodation concept for the festival by offering guests the chance to elevate their experience on the Croatian coastline, while still remaining connected to the vibrant energy of the festival. With only a limited number of yachts available for its inaugural year, the experience offers a rare opportunity to combine luxury sailing with one of electronic music’s most iconic beachside festivals.

Announcing Bowie: Live On The Loch – Bowie’s Glastonbury band reunites for landmark celebration

by


To mark the 10th anniversary of the passing of one of the greatest artists who ever lived, the spirit of David B will return to the Scottish shores he loved so deeply for one weekend only. On 7 and 8 November 2026, Cameron House on the banks of Loch Lomond will host Bowie: Live on the Loch, a two-day charity celebration in aid of Save the Children. Featuring an extraordinary reunion of Bowie’s original band members across two evenings of live performance, rare never-before-seen film footage, an extensive photography exhibition and a world-class dining experience, culminating in a spectacular charity guitar auction and a globally live streamed concert.

The weekend will serve as a powerful continuation of Bowie’s philanthropic legacy and his profound connection to Scotland. He had many seminal moments in the country: from the birth of his iconic Ziggy Stardust persona, to his legendary 1997 performance at the Barrowlands in Glasgow. The event will coincide with the 60th anniversary of Bowie’s first show in Scotland on  3rd April 1965 at the Palais in Dundee as David Bowie & The Buzz, supporting Johnny Kidd & The Pirates.

A Weekend Immersed in the World of Bowie

The celebration begins on Saturday 7 November with an exclusive black-tie gala dinner set within Cameron House, prepared by Michelin-starred chef Graeme Cheevers of Glasgow’s renowned Unalome. The centrepiece of the evening will be Regent Sounds Presents: Earl Slick’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Guitar Auction. Hosted by Bowie’s longest-serving guitarist and the legendary London guitar shop – the auction will feature a once-in-a-lifetime collection of priceless, signed, collector-grade guitars. Confirmed contributors already include rock legends Peter Frampton and Duff McKagan (Guns N’ Roses), with further names to be announced.

On Sunday, 8 November, a once-in-a-lifetime live show will see Earl Slick joined on stage by past members of David Bowie’s band, including Mike Garson, Mark Plati, Sterling Campbell and Gail Ann Dorsey, alongside special guest performers. Woven throughout the weekend’s music and storytelling will be a screening of rare, never-before-seen film footage of Bowie and a curated photography exhibition showcasing rare and iconic imagery hosted within Cameron House’s cinema and event spaces.

Anchoring Sunday’s live performance will be a house band comprising legends who helped define David Bowie’s sound across five decades, reuniting the band that played Bowie’s historic Glastonbury 2000 headline set.
Performers include Bowie’s longest-serving bandmate, pianist Mike Garson – whose avant-garde genius shaped everything from Aladdin Sane to the triumphant 2003/2004 A Reality Tour – and guitar force Earl Slick, the razor-sharp sonic architect behind Young Americans, Station to Station and the acclaimed 2013 comeback album The Next Day. They are joined by powerhouse bassist and vocalist Gail Ann Dorsey, immortalised by her spine-tingling “Under Pressure” duet at Glastonbury; musical director and multi-instrumentalist Mark Plati, the pivotal co-producer behind Earthling and the legendary Toy sessions; and dynamic drummer Sterling Campbell, the rhythmic engine room for modern masterpieces like Heathen and Bowie’s final monumental global tours.

Bowie: Live on the Loch echoes the historic impact of his 50th birthday concert at Madison Square Garden – also held in aid of Save the Children – bringing that enduring legacy to one of the world’s most breathtaking settings. Cameron House, a celebrated five-star luxury resort set within the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park, serves as the perfect home for an event of this scale and ambition. Funds for Save the Children will be raised through ticket sales, the charity auction, exclusive event merchandise, live pledge moments and the global livestream. The money raised will help children all around the world, including the UK, providing children with access to vital education, healthcare and protection.     

Reflecting on the unique format and historical tie-in, Earl Slick says: “David had a lot of motivation to help out. It wasn’t a big bragging thing – it was just done. That’s what I loved about it. He did it under the radar. We all live in increasingly uncertain and turbulent times around the world. More kids need more help.  So it’s time to do it and I cannot think of anything that David would rather lend his support to.“

George Graham, Executive Director of Global Impact at Save the Children, says: “With so much instability and uncertainty around the globe, it is an exceptionally challenging and dangerous time to be a child in so many corners of the world. At Save the Children, our only goal is to support children so they can have a safe, happy and healthy childhood. We are deeply grateful to everyone who is honouring David Bowie by backing this star-studded weekend, which will help bring a better future for children here in the UK and around the world.”

Will Oakley, Managing Director at Cameron House Resort says: “It is a privilege for Cameron House to host such a landmark cultural event. David Bowie’s impact on the global music landscape remains unparalleled, and welcoming his original band members to the banks of Loch Lomond is a special prospect for the resort. We look forward to providing a world-class setting for this historic reunion, and we are proud to support Save the Children in continuing Bowie’s philanthropic legacy.”

Bowie himself was a supporter of Save The Children, famously giving the proceeds of his 50th birthday celebration at Madison Square Garden in 1997 to the charity. An all-star cast for the show included Frank Black, The Foo Fighters, Sonic Youth, Robert Smith, Lou Reed and Billy Corgan.



Who: Earl Slick, Mike Garson, Mark Plati, Gail Ann Dorsey, Peter Frampton, Duff McKagan (Guns N’ Roses), Michelin-starred chef Graeme Cheevers, and further artists TBA.

What: Bowie: Live on the Loch – a David Bowie 10th Anniversary celebration weekend in aid of Save the Children UK (Registered charity no. 213890).

Alice Cooper Announces Definitive Memoir ‘Devil on my Shoulder’ & UK Book Tour

by
Alice Cooper announces the release of his definitive autobiography, ‘Devil on my Shoulder’, published by Ebury Spotlight on 8th October 2026. This long-awaited autobiography finally lifts the lid on one of the greatest lives in music.

Building on over sixty years of rock folklore, Cooper will support the book’s launch with an intimate 8-date UK speaking tour.

Each evening will feature the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee in conversation with a special guest moderator, followed by an audience Q&A, offering fans a rare glimpse behind the greasepaint and guillotines.
There are two, seemingly irreconcilable, Alice Coopers – the murderous, morally corrupt theatrical character who threatened the moral fibre of the western world… and the man who plays him, a sober pastor’s son who has been happily married for 50 years. Along the way, the two became schizophrenically intertwined. And in a haze of pioneering rock n roll, alcohol, drugs, iconic songs and wild gigs, guillotines, slaughtered chickens, legendary friends, rumours, snakes, Ouija boards, surrealism, house fires and car crashes – they nearly killed each other.

“Alice is still on tour around the world today, a proper senile delinquent playing hundreds of gigs every year, while I myself am reformed. And with the benefit of hindsight and a certain maturity, I’d like to describe our journey to Hell and back together, because it’s not only rock stars who can lose their way.” 

In the Sixties and early Seventies, Alice Cooper was simply a rock group, but as their lead singer, Vincent Damon Furnier, developed his modern-day Grand Guignol character, Alice Cooper became his stage name. Then, on a wave of global success, he legally changed it to his own.  

“I was born Vincent Damon Furnier but, seduced by my character’s reputation, changed my name legally to Alice Cooper, and in the process lost sight of who I really was. The mild-mannered, all-American boy I’d once been became a monster and a mortal danger to himself.”

With a career spanning six decades, Alice’s story features witty, intimate anecdotes featuring Salvador Dalí, Bob Hope, John Lennon, Groucho Marx, Vincent Price, Frank Sinatra, Errol Flynn, Bette Davis, Jimi Hendrix, Gerald Ford, Andy Warhol, Tiger Woods, to name a few, but he’s also an acute observer of dysfunction and despair, wildness and criminality, urges and addictions, transgressions and human goodness. And so he tells his story from both perspectives: angel on one shoulder, devil on the other.

“Me and Alice were getting creative with the truth long before the Age of Fake News. Now, after over thirty records and sixty-plus years of fibs and fabrications, I think it’s time to sort the truth from the rumors and lies.” Devil on My Shoulder is the definitive memoir from one of the most iconic music artists of our generation.



Who: Alice Cooper (Vincent Damon Furnier) / Ebury Spotlight.
What: Devil on My Shoulder (Hardback Autobiography) and 8-Date UK Book Tour.
Book Release Date: 8th October 2026.
Book Details: £25.00 | ISBN: 9781529966640.
Tour Ticket Includes: Entry + a copy of the book.
General On-Sale: Friday 13th March 2026 @ 10am.

BST Hyde Park – Announces Duran Duran Headline Show, with Special Guests Scissor Sisters

by

American Express presents BST Hyde Park announces its latest huge headliner for 2026: British music icons, Duran Duran – who will grace the central London stage for the second time in just five years. The global superstars will hit the Great Oak Stage on Sunday 5 July 2026, joined by fellow legends and special guests Scissor Sisters, with a full line up still to be announced. Tickets go on general sale on Wednesday 1 April, 10am, with pre-sales in the days prior (see below).  Visit www.bst-hydepark.com for tickets and information.

Duran Duran’s headline show at BST Hyde Park is a night out with one of the most successful and influential bands in pop history. With over 100 million records sold worldwide, the Birmingham-formed group has soundtracked generations with a peerless arsenal of hits including “Rio”, “Hungry Like the Wolf”, “Girls on Film”, and “Ordinary World”. Long time band mates Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor and Roger Taylor are known for their electrifying live performances and pioneering synth-pop sound. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees continue to prove why they are enduring music royalty with sold-out tours and critically acclaimed releases, with new music soon to be announced for 2026.

In late 2023, the band released their sixteenth studio album, Danse Macabre, a Halloween themed, celebrated record that blended new tracks, spirited covers and reimagined classics, featuring collaborations with Måneskin’s Victoria De Angelis, Nile Rodgers and former members Andy Taylor and Warren Cuccurullo. The following year they expanded the spooky universe with Danse Macabre De Luxe and subsequent singles including their cover of ELO’s “Evil Woman”.

Live, the band remain unstoppable, selling out arenas across the UK and North America during their Future Past Tour, playing a landmark headline Halloween show at Manchester’s Co-op Live in 2025 and being awarded the “Città di Sanremo” at Italy’s Sanremo Festival last year for their extraordinary contributions to the event, 40 years since their debut. And, in 2026, alongside highly anticipated vinyl reissues of The Wedding Album and Thank You, Duran Duran is back on the road and embarking on a prestigious multi-night Las Vegas residency at the Fontainebleau, preceded by a headline slot at California’s Beachlife Festival, and followed by a month-long run through Europe. They will be more than ready for their UK homecoming at Hyde Park.

And legendary New York pop powerhouse Scissor Sisters will join us at BST Hyde Park. The band have cited Duran Duran as a major influence, long shared a mutual creative respect and been guests on tour with our headliners.

They made their long-awaited return in 2025 after more than a decade apart, reuniting to mark the 20th anniversary of their iconic self-titled debut. With Jake Shears, Babydaddy and Del Marquis back together, they headed out on a huge, sold-out UK arena tour in, performed a legendary Saturday night Glastonbury set and a co-headlined a summer tour with Kesha across the USA.

Scissor Sisters are keeping the party going – next stop Summer 2026. Two decades after kicking the door down to redefine pop music with genre bending hits like “Take Your Mama”, “I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’” and “Let’s Have a Kiki”, the band return with their signature mix of chaos, glam, grit and unapologetic queer joy – still unstoppable and forever filthy/gorgeous.

Jim King, CEO of AEG Presents UK, says: “Duran Duran have long defined the very best of British music, conquering charts around the world. Their return to BST Hyde Park, joined by the incredible Scissor Sisters, promises a night of iconic, era‑defining hits and one of the standout moments for fans this summer.”

Duran Duran joins an illustrious line-up of world-renowned artists who have graced the stage, from Stevie Wonder and The Rolling Stones to Bruce Springsteen, Taylor Swift and many more. This year’s previously announced headliners include Garth Brooks (27 June), Maroon 5 (3 July), Mumford & Sons (4 July), Pitbull (10 July) and Lewis Capaldi (11 July and 12 July).

Moovin Festival has revealed its final wave of artists for 2026, completing one of its most eclectic and characterful line-ups to date. Alongside this the festival has also announced their highly anticipated day ticket sale with day splits, giving fans the option to experience their favourite acts and the magic of Whitebottom Farm starting at just £40 per day.

New additions to the line up include Fish56Octagon, The Mouse Outfit, Mungo’s Hi-Fi, DJ Rap, Jon Dasilva, Galliano, Jumpin Jack Frost, Psychederek, Suns Of Acid and more, plus a colourful selection of emerging performers, leftfield acts and festival curiosities that embody the unique spirit of Moovin.

This final announcement leans into the festival’s playful, off-kilter side, championing emerging, local and new talent alongside established names. Expect everything from beatboxing harmonica players and the wonderfully British rap stylings of Mr B The Gentleman Rhymer, to gloriously surreal performances like Junkoactive Wasteman (part man, part bin). Across the weekend there will also be drumming collectives, magicians, holistic experiences and plenty of unexpected moments waiting to be discovered between stages.

These new additions join a stacked bill of previously announced acts, including Groove Armada, 2manydjs, Gilles Peterson, Nightmares On Wax, Moonchild Sanelly, Chali 2na, Mr Scruff & MC Kwasi, DJ Paulette, Porij, Quantic, Ozric Tentacles, Danilo Plessow (Motor City Drum Ensemble), Greg Wilson, Luke Una, Dan Shake, Freestylers, Jaguar Skills, Utah Saints, Plump DJs, Soul Of Man, A.Skillz, DJ Woody, Micky Finn, Nicky Blackmarket, Brockie, DRS and many more.

Set on a farm just 30 minutes from Manchester and one hour from Sheffield, Moovin offers a countryside escape that still feels within easy reach of the city. Returning to the idyllic surroundings of Whitebottom Farm in Etherow Country Park, the festival has built a reputation as one of the UK’s most loved boutique gatherings. Set in a wooded valley with lakes, waterfalls and a dramatic gorge entrance, the site offers an atmosphere unlike anywhere else on the UK festival circuit.

Despite its intimate size, Moovin consistently delivers heavyweight line-ups and unforgettable moments. Their “rave den”, the Barn Stage is a converted cow barn with a powerful sound system that sits at the heart of the festival. It will host headline DJ sets from Groove Armada and 2manydjs, both returning after tearing the roof off in previous years.

Known for its welcoming crowd, independent spirit and refreshingly unpretentious ethos, Moovin remains proudly VIP free. With day tickets starting from just £40 and its notorious £5 pints being arguably some of the cheapest festival pints around, the festival demonstrates great value and fun. Straw bale seating, world class sound systems, circus performers, holistic healing, yoga and a touch of the original 90s free party energy come together to create a lively and immersive weekend experience

With the full line-up now revealed and day tickets available, the countdown to one of the summer’s most beloved independent festivals has officially begun. For ticket options including weekend and day tickets head to: https://www.moovinfestival.com/event/moovin-festival-2026/

R3HAB drops latest single ‘Ghost town’ in lead up to album

by

BUY / STREAM

Dutch-Moroccan DJ and producer R3HAB returns with a new single, “Ghost town…,” set for release on April 3rd, offering a fresh snapshot of his ever-evolving sound and a first taste of his forthcoming album Dream inside a dream…, due July 31st. Already road-tested on some of the world’s biggest stages, R3HAB has recently played the track live at Miami Ultra and Tomorrowland Winter, where fans have shown huge excitement ahead of festival season.

“Ghost town…” is an exploration of new frontiers, opening with a melody that guides listeners through unfamiliar lands. A delicate female vocal pulls you into the scene and soon leads to a chunky, groove-led foundation and big, driving kicks, creating an irresistible sense of lift. With a subtle nostalgic edge and kinetic energy, it’s primed for open-air moments and hands-in-the-air summer crowds.

“‘Ghost town…’ came from a feeling of emptiness that a lot of people know, but don’t always talk about. When you keep reaching for someone, waiting for something, thinking that maybe they’ll be the thing that makes you feel okay again, but deep down, you know you have to find that peace in yourself. That’s what this song is to me. It’s about loneliness, longing, and that moment where you realize the way out starts with being honest with yourself.” – R3HAB

Over the past decade, R3HAB has cemented himself as one of dance music’s most consistent global forces. Along with ranking in the Top 20 of DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs poll consecutively since 2017, he has released multiple studio albums and delivered remixes for a wide spectrum of artists including Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Lady Gaga and The Chainsmokers.

In 2016, he launched his own imprint CYB3RPVNK, which has since amassed over 4 billion streams, becoming a platform for both his own releases and a new wave of international talent. Known for his genre-fluid approach, R3HAB continues to collaborate across borders, languages and styles, pushing the boundaries of contemporary dance music.

From mainstage appearances at Tomorrowland, Ultra Music Festival and Coachella to shaping global club culture through his releases, R3HAB continues to define the global dance landscape.

Says the team, “We’re super proud to be announcing the Bali Residency as part of the 35 Year World Tour. Working with a local venue, The Stage and bringing in names like Low Steppa, Monki and Tiffy Vera is what the tour is about. It’s rooted in house music, but still very current, and it reflects both the heritage of the brand and where things are heading. Across the residency, it should make for a series of genuinely standout nights.”

Partnering with regional promoters Primuse Entertainment, the residency will see Ministry of Sound take over The Stage, a newly relaunched indoor venue in Bali, across five carefully curated shows which will see the legacy brand connect with crowds of clubbers on the tropical Indonesian island. 

Originally founded in London in 1991, Ministry of Sound has spent over three decades shaping global dance culture through its club, record label and events. The 35-Year World Tour marks the first time the brand has embarked on a global run of this scale to celebrate its legacy while continuing to evolve its worldwide influence, and all on the back of a huge series of renovations at the legendary London venue. 

With Bali’s growing reputation as a hub for electronic music in Asia, the residency signals a significant moment for both the destination and the Ministry of Sound brand. 

Further dates and full lineups for the Bali residency will be announced soon.
