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).

The show will see the Auditorium Stravinski transformed into a completely new stage configuration – a first in the Festival’s history. Performing for the third consecutive year, RAYE follows in the footsteps of her heroes Nina Simone and Etta James, whose performances made a huge impression on her. The unique show follows the release of her Live at Montreux vinyl in 2024 and a continued rise to stardom marked by the success of “Where Is My Husband?” and her latest album, This Music May Contain Hope. 
 
Across the Auditorium Stravinski, the programme moves between generations and styles.

Festival mainstays also return, including Deep Purple more than 30 years after their Montreux debut, friend of the Festival John Legend and Sting, a longstanding presence in the Festival’s history. Two legends of songwriting, Van Morrison and James Taylor, will bring the Festival’s 60th edition to a fitting conclusion. 
 
R&B and soul are strongly represented with the likes of GIVĒON, one of contemporary R&B’s defining voices, joined by Yebba, coming to the main stage after performing with Mark Ronson in 2023, alongside rising UK talent Sienna Spiro and Mercury Prize-nominated Joy Crookes, who makes her Festival debut. 
 
At the Montreux Jazz Lab, forward-thinking programming meets deep-rooted legacy. A cutting-edge electronic line-up on 5 July features Danny L Harle alongside the genre-defying ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U. Across two special evenings, the Lab becomes an intimate jazz club, with Charles Lloyd – who performed at the very first Montreux Jazz Festival in 1967 – returning for the 60th edition. He is joined by Marcus Miller, who reunites musicians from We Want Miles! in tribute to Miles Davis, alongside Billy Cobham and Gregory Porter. The Lab closes with French disco pioneer Cerrone and his orchestral Disco Symphonic project. 
 
The 2026 edition also marks a return to the Montreux Congress Centre, combining the Festival’s renowned acoustics and intimate setting with an expanded lakeside programme. 
 
Spanning jazz, soul, rock, pop, hip-hop and electronic music, Montreux Jazz Festival’s 60th edition celebrates six decades of musical history while continuing to spotlight the artists shaping its future.

Friday 12 – Sunday 14 June 2026
Whitebottom Farm, Stockport

Website | Instagram

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.

Ministry of Sound Announces Bali Residency at The Stage as Part of 35-Year World Tour

by

Ministry of Sound announces the next destination on its 35-Year World Tour with a new five-show residency set to take place at The Stage in Bali. Launching on May 30th, the series will run across key dates throughout June, July, August and December and mark the brand’s first extended run on the island.

Having already hosted landmark events earlier this year in Dubai, Helsinki and Miami, the tour now arrives in Bali. The opening event on May 30th will be headlined by house, bass and garage innovator Low Steppa, with additional artists Monki and Siân Owen bringing their signature house infusions. Across the full residency, lineups will reflect Ministry of Sound’s broad musical identity, spanning house, tech house and deeper club sounds while spotlighting international stars and exciting emerging talent.

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.

D-EDGE celebrates 26 years with landmark São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro events this April

by

Carl Craig b2b Moodymann, KiNK, Daria Kolosova, Len Faki, Nastia, DJ Marky and more all play across two events in Rio and Sao Paolo 

The most influential club in Brazil, D-EDGE, marks its 26th anniversary with two major events across its São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro venues this April and reaffirms its status as a global benchmark for underground electronic music culture. 

Taking place on April 2nd at its São Paulo home and April 4th at its Rio de Janeiro outpost, the celebrations bring together world-class artists, residents and collaborators for a multi-layered programme that reflects the club’s legacy and forward-thinking vision.

Founded by Renato Ratier, D-EDGE has spent over two decades shaping Brazil’s nightlife landscape through consistently refined programming, boundary-pushing production and its influential label arm. Universally recognised for its innovative concept, the club was a pioneer in integrating LED technology and immersive light design into the dancefloor experience, creating a unique balance between sound, light and architecture. Since its move to São Paulo’s Barra Funda district in 2003, D-EDGE has played a central role in transforming the area into a hub for electronic music, while continuing to nurture both local and international talent.

D-EDGE São Paulo – April 2nd | A multi-room celebration of global club culture

The flagship anniversary event unfolds across multiple rooms, each reflecting a distinct strand of D-EDGE’s musical identity.

Pista Defected brings a house-driven focus with standout sets from Carl Craig b2b Moodymann, alongside KiNK, Beltran, Aline Rocha, Coppola, Nocapz and Ratier himself.

Pista Nave dives into deeper, driving techno territory with names including Len Faki, Daria Kolosova and Nastia, joined by Anderson Noise b2b DJ Murphy and more.

Elsewhere, the Indie Dance floor features Gui Boratto alongside a series of back-to-back sets, while Pista Marky & Friends celebrates drum & bass culture with DJ Marky and special guests including Makoto and L-Side. A dedicated D-EDGERS space rounds out the experience, spotlighting residents and long-time collaborators in an extended programme of back-to-back performances.

D-EDGE Rio – April 4th | A new chapter on the coast

Following the launch of its Rio de Janeiro cultural centre in late 2023, D-EDGE expands its anniversary into a second major event in the “Cidade Maravilhosa.” Bringing together generations and scenes on one dancefloor, the Rio edition features a headline b2b from Carl Craig and Moodymann, alongside KiNK, Ratier and key Brazilian names including Leo Janeiro, Simo (all night long) and Vivi Seixas. Designed as a fully immersive journey, the event reflects D-EDGE’s ethos of connection, storytelling and musical depth from first track to last.

Across both cities, the 26th anniversary stands as a testament to D-EDGE’s enduring influence. From its origins in Campo Grande to its global reputation today, the club has remained committed to pushing boundaries – musically, visually and culturally – while maintaining a clear identity rooted in quality and innovation. With two nights, two cities and a lineup that bridges heritage and future, D-EDGE once again defines what a modern club experience can be.
