Four Tet delivered one of the defining sets of Green Man 2026 on Saturday night, returning to the festival's Mountain Stage for a 90-minute headline performance that lit up the surrounding Welsh mountains. Playing the festival for the second time after his acclaimed 2019 appearance, Kieran Hebden brought a sprawling mix of beats, builds and drops to the Mountain Stage, backed by a huge light show that stretched across the site and drew the biggest crowd of the weekend so far.

Opening with a snippet of Royals, the two-time Grammy and BRIT Award winner quickly established the scale of the night. Supercut and Team landed early, while the production grew increasingly ambitious as the set unfolded. “This is the best

Luminati Suns have gone from putting their own spin on a viral track to officially teaming up with its creator. The young alt-pop trio have joined forces with Marino for I’m Sorry Mom, after their version of the track exploded online, racking up more than 100 million views across social platforms in less than 72 hours. What started as a cover quickly became something much bigger. Luminati Suns' take caught Marino's attention, leading to the brothers joining forces with him fo

Manchester alt/rock four-piece SerpentS are back with a new single, and Midnight Murderess isn't exactly interested in playing nice. Built around lively guitars, playful harmonies and a hefty dose of 2000s nostalgia, the track finds the band mixing glossy pop-rock instincts with a sharper modern edge. The result is a confident, mischievous anthem that knows exactly what it's doing. The band describe it as a “fun, glamorous hype song” with a deliberately unserious streak — sed

Boomtown went big on the reset button this year. The Hampshire festival brought 77,000 people to Matterley Estate for its 17th edition, tearing up its usual layout for Chapter Five: Radical Redesign — and bringing back one of its most missed stages in the process. The Lion’s Den returned to Temple Valley for the first time in a decade, while a new 20,000-capacity electronic stage, HYDRO XL, became the centrepiece of the festival’s push towards alternative energy. And then the

After a two-year hiatus, Dutch art-rock provocateurs De Staat are back — and they’re pointing their latest single straight at the people at the top. “THE UNDERDOG” is the fourth track to emerge from the band’s forthcoming seventh album, DE STAAT, due 18 September via V2 Records. Driven by warped organ, a huge bass-heavy finale and Torre Florim’s unusually exposed falsetto, it’s one of the record’s strangest and most confrontational moments yet. And the timing feels deliberate

Myke Towers is back with “Carita Feliz”, a new single out now via Warner Music Latina that turns the familiar facade of looking fine into something far more honest. Built around a deceptively warm melodic reggaeton groove, the track explores the gap between the face we show the world and what’s actually happening underneath. Rather than chasing another victory lap, Towers uses “Carita Feliz” to make space for vulnerability — and the simple admission that sometimes, you’re jus

Bristol-based alternative indie duo Desperately Seeking Suki are gearing up to release their new single “Nevermind” on 28 August via Apollo Distribution, the second track from their forthcoming debut EP. Built around late-night swims, fading memories and the messy aftermath of a romance that never quite became what it promised, “Nevermind” captures the duo’s knack for combining indie-rock swagger with art-pop, synths and dancefloor energy. Fronted by siblings Natassa Zoë and

Sydney-based vocalist, songwriter and producer Headaches has unveiled their hazy new single “Sweeter Than This”, offering a first taste of forthcoming EP We’ll Make Our Beds When We Get Home, due 16 October via dottidot. Moving between woozy shoegaze and sparse synth-pop, “Sweeter Than This” captures the peculiar emotional limbo of being young, restless and stuck in the city. It’s lo-fi and confessional, but never overly earnest — instead finding humour and irony in the routi

Cali Santo returns with “Iron Eyes”, a quietly powerful new single out now via Hunky Dory Records, turning a familiar idea of masculinity — stay strong, stay silent, never show weakness — into a poignant meditation on the cost of emotional repression. Built around plaintive guitar and sweeping strings, “Iron Eyes” tells the story of a man raised to believe that vulnerability is something to hide. What begins as learned self-protection gradually becomes emotional armour, shapi
