The organisers of the Jockey Club Live concert series have confirmed five headliners for their 2026 edition.

OMD have added a new UK show to their Summer Of Hits Tour.

With the band sprawled across a sofa even as frontman Cai Alty’s phone is perched precariously on the edge of a table, The Guest List cut a relaxed figure as our Zoom chat gets underway. It’s fitting given how they want to be seen as musicians. “A lot of bands feel very serious right now, and we like showing that you don’t always have to be,” Cai explains. “We’ve got our serious songs  but it’s important to have lighter moments. Some of the best bands never took themselves too seriously and we want to do the same.”

Of Monsters and Men have been at the vanguard of indie-folk since the release of their debut album in 2011, accompanied by their enduring single Little Talks. The Icelandic group now returns with their first album since 2019: ‘All Is Love and Pain in the Mouse Parade’. It’s immediately obvious from Television Love that this is a return with purpose, immediately appearing more introspective and darker in sound.
