There aren’t many venues left in London like the New Cross Inn. A cornerstone of the grassroots circuit, it’s known for loud nights, affordable drinks, and a stage that’s launched more than a few careers. On Monday 28 April, it played host to five bands covering a wide spectrum of alternative sounds — from punk to post-hardcore to melodic indie — in a stacked and well-paced evening that felt like a proper showcase of where UK DIY music is at.

On a warm Tuesday night on the 29th of April, The Norwich LCR at the University of East Anglia was transformed back into the 90s. The nostalgic sounds of Ocean Colour Scene, supported by Kula Shaker,  played the city venue for one night only on their 24 date 2025 UK tour.

Christian Löffler’s live performance really encapsulates the calmness and beauty that can be found in ambient and progressive house music, whilst also bringing his own unique sound.

It was impossible to not sway to the beat like the rest of the crowd.

Concert films are reshaping the music industry, offering artists new ways to reach audiences. While stars like Taylor Swift lead with big-budget productions, indie musicians such as Courtney Barnett use intimate, story-driven films to connect with fans. This trend brings both opportunity and challenge, especially for emerging artists facing high production costs and rising expectations.

The UK festival season is rapidly approaching, and with the weather picking up, we’re getting ourselves ready for an absolute belter of festivals this year. Sure, the big names will always pull the headlines, but we’re here for the acts bubbling under — the ones playing tucked-away tents and early-afternoon slots, bringing the real magic.

It’s big and varied enough to never get boring, yet intimate enough to feel friendly rather than overwhelming. Year after year, its easy-going atmosphere and all-ages crowd make Truck feel like a proper summer staple for UK indie fans.

It’s 2025, and on any given night in Britain you might wander into a backroom pub or tiny club and catch the next big thing – if that venue is still open. Our grassroots music venues – those small, beloved stages where countless artists play their first gigs – are facing an unprecedented crisis.

Reading’s back for another August Bank Holiday blowout, and the 2025 line-up is coming in strong. It’s loud, it’s loaded, and it’s got the kind of energy that turns muddy fields into chaos in the best possible way.

Latitude 2025 is back this July, taking over Henham Park once again with a line-up that’s looking genuinely exciting. Whether you’re here for the iconic headliners or to discover something new, this year’s bill has a real mix to shout about.
