PinkPantheress Announces ‘Fancy Some More?’ — A Global Reimagining of ‘Fancy That’

British anti-popstar and producer PinkPantheress has announced Fancy Some More?, a reimagining of her critically-acclaimed and Mercury Prize-shortlisted mixtape Fancy That. Fancy Some More? will be released this Friday, October 10 via Warner Records UK.

On Fancy Some More?, PinkPantheress brings together an international spectrum of musicians, groups and producers, delivering 22 genre-blending remixes, including Swedish pop icon Zara Larsson on “Stateside,” American R&B heavyweight Ravyn Lenae on “Romeo,” Brazilian DJ sensation Mochakk on “Noises” & much more. Each track offers a new perspective on the signature PinkPantheress sound, expanding the Fancy That universe.

Released in May this year and written and produced by PinkPantheress, Fancy That was created alongside aksel arvid, Count Baldor, phil, Oscar Scheller, The Dare and others, bringing together a collective of creative minds to shape her latest sonic evolution. The 9-track project showcases her signature vocals and genre-blurring sound against a fun and kitsch-y backdrop, rooted in British culture.

Later this month, PinkPantheress will kick off her *sold out* North American An Evening with PinkPantheress residency-style tour, bringing Fancy That to audiences in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and more. The North American dates follow her sold-out two-night residency at London’s O2 Academy Brixton in September. 2026 will see PinkPantheress make her Coachella debut before heading to Barcelona’s Primavera Festival for her debut festival headliner performance.

Dropkick Murphys Announce 2026 St. Patrick’s Day Boston Shows and 30th Anniversary Celebration

Dropkick Murphys have announced the dates and venues for their 2026 St. Patrick’s Day weekend celebration in Boston, which is also the band’s 30th birthday party. Part of their upcoming For The People…In The Pit Tour, the dates include March 13, 14, and 15, 2026, at MGM Music Hall at Fenway and March 17th at Citizens House of Blues. March 14th includes a special family-friendly afternoon mini-concert and meet & greet at 2 pm, also at MGM Music Hall at Fenway, which benefits the band’s charitable foundation, The Claddagh Fund. For this afternoon’s show, each adult ticket buyer can bring two kids under 13 for free.

Tickets for the Boston Dropkick Murphys’ St. Patrick’s Day 2026 shows go on sale this Friday, October 10th, at 10 am ET.

Full dates for the 2026 For The People…In The Pit Tour will be announced soon, along with support acts for the Boston shows. Before the St. Patrick’s Day hometown shows, Dropkick Murphys head to Europe for a fall headlining tour with Frank Turner and Haywire that kicks off October 15th in Milan, Italy.

On October 10th, Dropkick Murphys will also release physical CD and vinyl versions of their latest album, For The People, which follows the album’s July 4th digital release via the band’s Dummy Luck Music/Play It Again Sam. The CD and vinyl releases will include five bonus songs.

For The People shows courage and confidence, speaking up against the injustices happening in the United States, and does so with the strength and power that harkens back to Dropkick Murphys’ earliest punk rock roots. The album is more than a title. It’s a heartfelt stance, a declaration of who this band is–and who they’ve always been.

While on tour supporting For The People, Dropkick Murphys have continued to advocate for workers’ rights and human rights–as they have done for their entire 29+ year career–with surprise appearances at many picket lines across the U.S. to support unions fighting for fair wages and better contracts.

David Bowie’s Visionary Role in ‘The Nomad Soul’ Lives On in Gaming History

David Bowie didn’t just write the music for The Nomad Soul—he became its soul. Teaming with Reeves Gabrels, he crafted ten original songs and appeared in-game as Boz, a digital prophet guiding players through Omikron City. Bowie, his wife Iman, and his bandmates lent their likenesses, turning a late-’90s video game into an immersive art piece that blurred the boundaries between music, storytelling, and virtual identity.

High Parasite Release New Single “Cold” and Announce 2025 UK Dates with Paradise Lost

High Parasite Release New Single “Cold” and Announce 2025 UK Dates with Paradise Lost

UK outfit High Parasite, led by Aaron Stainthorpe of My Dying Bride, unveil their brand-new single, “Cold.” Though previously unreleased, the track has become a staple of the band’s live set and arrives alongside a music video, available below.

Bassist/Vocalist Tombs comments on the single: “‘Cold’ was lyrically inspired by Plato’s analogy of the cave, an allegory used to illustrate the relationship between reality and illusion, the journey from ignorance to knowledge.

“The idea of a person realising too late in life that there is no God, no heaven, no hell, no divine retribution, no absolution, and the panic and anger they would feel when it dawns on them that they are truly alone and can only hold themselves responsible for their actions.”

Having completed a successful UK tour with Cradle of Filth last year, and more recently a short stint with Unto Others, HIGH PARASITE play a one-off show with Cradle of Filth on July 6th at Epic Studios in Norwich; they then continue their run of European festivals, including first-ever appearances at the UK’s Bloodstock event in August and the Eindhoven Metal Meeting in December.

Additionally, High Parasite are confirmed to join Paradise Lost on their October 2025 UK tour, see the full list of dates below.

HIGH PARASITE Live:
December 13, 2025 – Eindhoven – Eindhoven Metal Meeting

UK Shows with Paradise Lost

Warner Music Group and Bain Capital Launch $1.2 Billion Music Catalog Investment Venture

 Warner Music Group, the global music entertainment company, and Bain Capital, a leading global private investment firm, are launching a joint venture to allow for the purchase of up to $1.2 billion of legendary music catalogs across both recorded music and music publishing. The partnership was formed through equal equity commitments from WMG and Bain Capital.

This new strategic venture will provide artists and songwriters with opportunities to preserve and expand the reach of their catalogs, ensuring their legacies are well cared for. WMG and Bain Capital will together source and acquire the catalogs, while WMG will manage all aspects of marketing, distribution, and administration. By combining WMG’s worldwide infrastructure and relationships with Bain Capital’s global resources and financial capabilities, the venture is well-positioned to set a new standard as the preferred partner for renowned musical talent.

This deal comes at an opportune time in the music industry, given changing fan behavior, driven by streaming and emerging technologies that introduce classic music to new audiences.

“Iconic artists and songwriters choose WMG to grow their legacies and introduce their art to new generations through impactful and innovative campaigns,” said Robert Kyncl, CEO, Warner Music Group. “Augmenting our deep expertise and global infrastructure with Bain Capital’s financial prowess and belief in music will make us the destination of choice for preeminent catalogs.”

“Timeless music content continues to sit at the center of consumer entertainment,” said Angelo Rufino, a Partner at Bain Capital. “Stewardship of catalogs has never been more important as artists and songwriters deserve support to enhance the value of their work while delivering fans new and exciting collaborations. Warner Music Group, with its deep creative resources and partnership culture, is the ideal partner for Bain Capital to work alongside as we grow and safeguard the world’s iconic music.”

Goldman Sachs and Fifth Third Bank will serve as joint lead arrangers to the joint venture.
