Trafalgar Releasing, HYBE, and BIGHIT MUSIC are thrilled to announce#RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR THE MOVIE, a brand-new concert film documenting the unique and electrifying journey of Jin’s first solo tour. Jin, singer and songwriter from 21st century pop icons BTS, brings his solo tour to cinemas worldwide for a special year-end party on December 27 and 28*. This unmissable big-screen experience promises to be a celebration of the powerful, interactive bond between the global star and ARMY (BTS’ official fandom).
Alongside 2D, CJ 4DPLEX will be exhibiting the concert film in its SCREEN X, 4DX and ULTRA 4DX, premium formats. Tickets for #RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR THE MOVIE will be available in all formats globally on Friday, December 5, beginning at 6 a.m. PT / 9 a.m. ET / 2 p.m. GMT at jinthemovie.com. Tickets will be available in Korea beginning Wednesday, December 17.
Capturing the vibrant energy spanning 10 cities and 20 performances—from South Korea’s Goyang Auxiliary Stadium to Japan, North America, Europe, and back to Incheon—the movie celebrates Jin’s commitment to ARMY with the message: “Dojeon! (Challenge!) Until the day I meet every ARMY.” The most thrilling moments of the tour such as dynamic live performances, heartfelt interviews, behind-the-scenes footage, a mission-based costume change, and other special moments that can only be seen in theaters are now ready to unfold on the big screen.
With “challenge” as its theme, the show brings Jin’s signature energy to the cinemas, featuring him laughing, singing, and completing five energetic missions with ARMY. The cinematic event is packed with exclusive bonuses, including a “cookie video” revealing tour preparations and the interactive “Sing Along Game” mission with a karaoke version of “Super Tuna” designed for fans to connect and sing along.
Marc Allenby, CEO of Trafalgar Releasing, said, “We look forward to bringing the dedicated ARMY audience together again in cinemas to celebrate Jin’s performance at South Korea’s Goyang Auxiliary Stadium. Capping off a successful year for the artist, the release highlights the enduring global appeal of K-pop on the big screen.”
* Select territories, including France, the Netherlands, and the Philippines, will be screening on January 10 and 11.
Sweden’s first official Drag Queen Calendar has now been released. Twelve of the country’s most iconic drag performers are featured across all months of 2026 in a series of exclusive portraits, styled by Peter Englund and photographed by Anna Vinterfall. The project is led by Nina Saving at Konstexpo. The launch was highlighted on TV4’s Nyhetsmorgon this Sunday, where Vanity Vain – who graces the calendar cover – also appeared.
The Swedish Drag Queen Calendar is now available for purchase and has already generated significant interest. Bringing together twelve of the nation’s leading drag artists, the calendar is an artistic project celebrating the expression, humour, and power of drag.
Among the featured performers is Vanity Vain, whose rock’n’roll aesthetics and magnetic charisma made her one of the most talked-about contestants on Drag Race Sverige. Following her third-place finish – and her win as “Drag of the Year” at the QX Gala – she went on to appear on RuPaul’s Drag Race Global All Stars, where her stage presence quickly gained international attention. The calendar also includes Drag Race winner Admira and the beloved Swedish icon Babsan.
This is an explosion of colour, expression, and individuality – an art project where drag is given the space it deserves, says project manager Nina Saving. Peter Englund created the twelve specially designed styling concepts that give the calendar its strong visual identity. On Sunday, Vinterfall, Englund, and Vanity Vain appeared on TV4’s Nyhetsmorgon to discuss the work behind the calendar and its cultural significance.
The calendar is printed in A3 format on exclusive satin paper and designed with a colourful, collectible finish. It is sold for 399 SEK including VAT via Imaginzone.
The Rainbow Foundation, which receives 10 percent of the profits, highlights the calendar’s impact.
When you buy a Drag Queen Calendar, you not only get the most beautiful calendar of the year – you also support The Rainbow Foundation´s work for the rights of LGBTQI people. As anti-LGBTQI propaganda continues to grow around the world, it is more important than ever that we join forces and do what we can. The calendar is a fantastic initiative – and the perfect Christmas gift! says Embla Kullberg, Secretary General of The Rainbow Foundation.
Fans who want an even closer connection to their favourite performers can purchase signed and numbered high-quality fine art prints of each participating drag queen via Imaginzone.com and QX Shop. Each print is individually numbered and hand-signed by the artist, printed on exclusive fine art cotton paper with a shimmering finish, exceptional colour reproduction, and a lifespan of over 100 years. Available with or without frame. The limited edition makes each poster a valuable collector’s item.
Ten percent of profits are donated to The Rainbow Foundation.

Kilby Block Party is back for 2026 and it’s bigger, brighter, and more unforgettable than ever. Taking over Salt Lake City’s Utah State Fairpark from May 15 to 17, this year’s edition brings 70 artists across three days, led by a dreamlike lineup of headliners: Lorde, The xx, Turnstile, and Hayley Williams. The festival continues to shine as one of the most affordable and fan-focused music experiences in North America, and 3-Day Pass On-Sale begins Wednesday, November 19th at 10:00 am MST. Tickets & Travel Packages available at KilbyBlockParty.com
Fans can expect a weekend full of discovery, connection, and full-stage energy. The layout builds on last year’s upgrades, with more space for dancing and relaxing, better stage placement to minimize audio bleed, free water stations, and a new footprint that includes the Days of ’47 Arena as one of the smaller stages. Kilby Club VIP makes its debut this year, offering center-stage viewing and backstage lounge access. With past praise calling the festival “an indie fan’s dream fest” and “the best festival experience I’ve ever had,” Kilby Block Party 2026 promises to deliver another unforgettable moment in the heart of Utah.
Based in Calgary, Alberta, Little Brown Jug Brass is a genre-bending Canadian ensemble known for their energetic sound, collaborative spirit, and commitment to community. With multiple fine arts degrees, music degrees, and post-secondary training between them, the group brings a rich and diverse musical spirit to every performance.
The band’s collective experience is both broad and award-winning, including honours such as Outstanding Jazz Combo at the Alberta International Band Festival, the John K. Nickel Memorial Scholarship for Music Education, and the Outstanding Soloist Award at the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival. Members perform regularly with ensembles including the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra, Rocky Mountain Symphony, Red Deer Symphony, Prime Time Big Band, and Altius Brass.
In November 2025, Little Brown Jug Brass release their emotionally resonant single “My North Star Home,” featuring celebrated Métis artist Ashley Ghostkeeper. The song, written and performed by Ghostkeeper, was inspired by a childhood memory of her grandmother and her late grandfather — a figure described as the “North Star,” always watching over her family. Ghostkeeper wrote the lyrics from the imagined perspective of her mother, reflecting on the loss of a parent at a young age.
Ghostkeeper’s contribution brings emotional depth and cultural richness to the project. Her music has earned national radio support, three #1 hits on the Canadian Top Indigenous Music Countdown, and a Top 5 position on the Canadian Top 40 Indigenous Music Countdown. She has received multiple nominations including YYC Indigenous Artist of the Year (2024, 2025), Solo Artist of the Year, Songwriter of the Year, Single of the Year, and Country Recording of the Year (2025). She is also a three-time nominee for Country Music Alberta Fan’s Choice (2023–2025), and a 2025 Calgary Music Awards winner for Indigenous Artist of the Year. A proud Métis artist, Ashley views music as a path to healing, heritage, and self-liberation.
The accompanying music video for “My North Star Home” is a deeply moving tribute to ancestry and memory, featuring Ashley’s real-life cousin portraying her mother, her grandfather’s photograph on the dashboard, and Ashley herself appearing as a guiding spirit.
The track is a standalone collaboration and a preview of Little Brown Jug Brass’s upcoming holiday album Holiday Spirits, to be released on November 28, 2025. While Ghostkeeper’s contribution is exclusive to the single, the album shares themes of belonging, legacy, and the meaning of “home.”
Known for their co-creative and inclusive approach to music-making, Little Brown Jug Brass preserve the warmth and spontaneity of live performance in their recordings, inviting listeners to feel like part of the celebration. The band is also values-driven, regularly using performances to raise funds for arts and music education programs supporting at-risk and underserved youth.
With “My North Star Home” now available on all streaming platforms and Holiday Spirits arriving soon, Little Brown Jug Brass continue to craft music that bridges generations, genres, and communities — reminding us of the power of music to guide us home.
The Whips bring the ache of your early 20s into full color with their newest single, “Together in Agony.” It feels like scrolling through old texts and realizing you are still in the story. The track captures everything tangled and overwhelming about love in motion. It’s full of tension, tenderness, and the quiet urgency of emotions you can’t quite name yet.
Guitarist and co-vocalist Max Indiveri wrote the song and recorded it with the band in their 10×10 bedroom studio. “The kind of relationship you know is breaking, but you’re still in it because you’re scared to start over,” Indiveri says. The sound mirrors that feeling. It begins in a hush, slowly gathering guitars, layered harmonies, and drums until it reaches emotional detonation. The arrangement leaves room for reflection, with each part stretching and expanding like a conversation with yourself.
The group’s roots go back to a Kansas City school bus, where bassist Quinn Cosgrove and drummer Miles Patterson first decided to form a band. Indiveri joined soon after. Max Cooper entered through an Instagram search. Cooper recently turned all four chairs on NBC’s The Voice and sang on Team Michael Bublé, and his presence brings power to the vocal mix. The song reflects a shared decision to focus on feeling and storytelling, shaped by four musicians locked into each other’s rhythm.
Many fans first discovered The Whips through their viral clips on TikTok and Instagram. From call-and-response solos to jammy college hallway breakdowns, their videos showed off playful musicianship and a deep sense of connection. One clip reached a million views. Another hit five. Now, “Together in Agony” leads into a full slate of new music arriving with Wichita label Midtopia. The band is rolling out the project through the Buy Before You Stream initiative, which gives fans the chance to connect physically with the music before it appears on streaming platforms.
There’s something beautiful about a band that built its audience online and now offers a release you can hold. You can imagine someone who once double-tapped a solo battle now setting a needle on vinyl, letting the first notes of “Together in Agony” fill the room with no notifications in sight.
Julien’s Auctions, the industry leading pop culture memorabilia auction house, announces results from The Florian Schneider Collection, an event honoring a founding member of KRAFTWERK, the architects of electronic music. Universally recognized as one of the most influential bands of all time, the band’s use of synthesizers, drum machines, and minimalist compositional forms significantly expanded the expressive possibilities of popular music. Their widespread admiration was reflected by fans and collectors offering bids from the world over. The electrifying sale took place today at the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum.
The Florian Schneider Collection is the first auction to feature a comprehensive collection of items from Florian’s personal life and career. The sale featured an extraordinary assemblage of rare instruments, stage wardrobe, and historic ephemera from the visionary artist. These artifacts give a window into the inventive and elusive processes behind Florian’s iconic creations and celebrate his legacy as a true pioneer of electronic music. A testament to Schneider’s influence is shown by the recent interest from London’s prestigious Victoria & Albert Museum to display items from the sale in their upcoming exhibition.
“We are thrilled with the outstanding results achieved in today’s auction,” says Giles Moon, VP Head of Music. “Exceptional global demand underscored both the rarity of these incredible artifacts and Florian Schneider’s pivotal role in shaping electronic music.”
Florian Schneider lived a largely secluded life, avoiding public appearances and personal portrayals in the media. Little is known about his private life and working methods. This sale was an exceptional event, as it is unlikely that such a large number of items from Florian Schneider’s personal estate will ever be available again. It thus offered a rare insight into a band whose origins and working methods have given rise to numerous myths and stories. “This auction fulfills Florian’s handwritten will for his instruments and personal collection to continue living beyond him. He always believed that they are meant to be played and shared — not left unused or gathering dust in storage,” said a spokesperson. “He wanted his equipment to find their way to people who would truly value them: musicians, collectors, and those inspired by the art of sound.”
Highlights from the “Florian Schneider Collection” Auction Include: • Kling Klang Sennheiser VSM-201 Vocoder In Original Case ($256,000 – over 8x est.) • Stage Played EMS Synthi A Suitcase Synthesizer ($115,200 – over 14x est.) • Robovox and Votrax Silver Rack Case with Votrax Phoneme Keyboard ($76,800 – over 5x est.) • Panasonic Panaracer Road Bike From The Music Video for “Tour de France” (“Kling Klang Analog Mix”) with Polaroid Photos ($57,600 – over 14x est.) • 1964 Volkswagen Type 2/T1 Kastenwagen ($44,800 – nearly 3x est.) • Kraftwerk Lenticular Print ($25,600 – 64x est.) • Korg PS-3200 Polyphonic Synthesizer with PS-3010 Keyboard ($25,600 – nearly 3x est.) • “Ruhe” Electric Kling Klang Recording Studio Sign ($19,200 – over 38x est.) • 1960s Stage and Studio-Played Orsi Albisiphon Bass Flute ($12,800 – over 3x est.) • 1981 “Computer World” Tour Japanese Concert Poster ($5,120 – over 25x est.) • 1982-1986 Keilwerth Toneking 3000 Jazzophone (Trumpet) ($5,120 – nearly 13x est.)
The world of enterprise SaaS is bigger, faster, and more competitive than ever. With thousands of SaaS companies fighting for visibility, search engines have become one of the most important channels for sustainable, long-term growth. But ranking in the enterprise space is very different from ranking in the startup world. The stakes are higher, the competition is stronger, and the buying journey is far more complex.
If you want to stand out in the market and build a predictable organic pipeline, understanding the current state of enterprise SaaS SEO is essential. Below are seven key strategies shaping how high-growth SaaS companies dominate search in 2025.
1. Topical Authority Is the New Battleground
Google’s priority continues to shift toward expertise and depth. For enterprise SaaS companies, this means covering a topic thoroughly rather than creating one-off articles that target individual keywords.
Strong topical authority includes:
Creating interconnected content clusters
Building complete guides that cover each stage of the customer journey
Aligning content with real customer problems
Including product-led insights that only an expert can share
Enterprise buyers look for trusted, authoritative sources. Companies that demonstrate deep knowledge of their industry consistently outperform generic blogs.
2. Search Intent Has Become More Granular
Traditional SEO taught us to match content to a simple informational, navigational, or transactional intent. The enterprise journey is far more layered.
A single buyer may go through:
Awareness
Problem identification
Solution research
Feature comparison
Vendor evaluation
Procurement considerations
Legal and compliance review
This means enterprise SEO must support dozens of micro-intent moments. Successful teams map their content directly to each step. Instead of writing “SEO content,” they create assets that help real buyers move forward with confidence.
3. Product-Led Content Is Driving Higher Conversions
Enterprise SEO used to rely heavily on high-level educational content. That is shifting. Today’s top SaaS companies weave product context directly into their articles without sounding promotional.
Effective product-led content includes:
Screenshots and walkthroughs
Real use cases
Customer stories
Practical workflows
Integrations and ecosystem explanations
This helps buyers understand how the product solves their problem, not just why the problem exists. Companies like MADX focus on this balance when building long-term SEO strategies for SaaS brands.
4. Data Quality Matters More Than Volume
Enterprise SaaS teams often have massive websites. But large sites create problems when data is inaccurate, fragmented, or outdated. Google now rewards websites that are well-structured, consistent, and technically sound.
Strong data foundations include:
Clean internal linking
Stable site architecture
Accurate schema markup
Updated content with correct product terminology
Proper handling of redirects and deprecated pages
Search engines trust companies that maintain high-quality information. Large sites that fail to maintain data hygiene fall behind quickly.
5. The Rise of Zero-Click Content
Enterprise SaaS buyers spend more time scanning search results and less time clicking through websites. Google now displays summaries, People Also Ask boxes, AI-generated overviews, and other features that reduce clicks.
Rather than fighting this trend, smart SaaS companies adapt by:
Creating content that appears directly in SERP features
Answering questions concisely and clearly
Structuring pages for quick-scan readability
Using strong headers that match query intent
Winning impressions can be just as valuable as winning clicks when building brand trust and authority.
6. Evolving Technical Standards Are Shaping Rankings
Technical SEO has always mattered for enterprise sites, but algorithm updates now emphasize stability, UX clarity, and fast performance. A SaaS website is no longer just a digital brochure. It is part of the product experience.
Important technical elements include:
Fast load times
Mobile-first design
Crawl efficiency for large site structures
Clear, conversion-focused page layouts
WCAG accessibility standards
Server reliability and uptime
Technical SEO is now a growth function rather than a maintenance task.
7. SEO and Revenue Teams Are Becoming More Connected
Enterprise SaaS SEO used to sit inside the marketing department. Today it is aligned with sales, RevOps, product, customer success, and sometimes even engineering.
High-performance companies unify teams around:
Shared customer data
Clear definitions of qualified demand
Buyer-journey insights from sales teams
Product roadmap alignment
Revenue attribution
SEO is no longer about traffic for the sake of traffic. It is about generating meaningful, sales-ready demand.
Final Thoughts
Enterprise SaaS companies compete in one of the most challenging and saturated search landscapes. But with the right strategy, SEO remains one of the most powerful drivers of predictable growth. The key is understanding that enterprise SEO requires depth, structure, and cross-functional alignment, not just keyword optimization.
Companies that invest in authority building, technical excellence, and product-led storytelling are the ones who rise above the noise. If a SaaS brand wants to grow organically in today’s market, mastering enterprise SaaS SEO is not optional. It is foundational to long-term success.

Michigan’s online casino industry contains over 3,000 slot titles across 14 licensed operators. This variety creates choice paralysis for new players and experienced gamblers alike. Not all slots perform equally — some offer better return-to-player percentages, more engaging bonus features, or higher jackpot potential than others.
The MGCB requires independent testing of all slot games before deployment. Every title must prove its random number generator works properly, advertised RTP matches actual performance, and bonus features function as described.
This oversight ensures fairness but doesn’t mean all slots offer equal value to players.
Understanding slot mechanics helps players make informed choices. RTP indicates the theoretical percentage returned over millions of spins. Volatility describes payout frequency and size. Bonus features determine entertainment value beyond base game spins.
How Slots Actually Work in Michigan
Random number generators determine every spin outcome independently.
The machine doesn’t track hot or cold streaks, remember previous results, or adjust based on player behavior. Each spin has identical odds regardless of what happened before.
RTP Percentages Explained
A 96% RTP slot theoretically returns $96 for every $100 wagered over its lifetime. This doesn’t mean you’ll win $96 from a $100 session – it’s a statistical average across millions of spins by thousands of players. Michigan slots typically range from 92-97% RTP.
Volatility Impact on Gameplay
Low volatility – Frequent small wins, bankroll lasts longer, rarely hit massive payouts
Medium volatility – Balanced mix of small and medium wins with occasional large hits
High volatility – Infrequent wins but potential for significant payouts when hitting bonus rounds
Players chasing jackpots prefer high volatility despite longer losing streaks. Those wanting extended entertainment choose low volatility for consistent small wins.
Progressive Jackpots vs Fixed Prizes
Progressive slots accumulate portions of all wagers into growing jackpot pools. Some progressives link across multiple casinos, creating life-changing prizes exceeding $1 million.
However, progressive games typically offer lower base game RTP since jackpot contributions reduce regular payouts.
Fixed jackpot slots pay predetermined maximum prizes. These games often provide better base game RTP and more frequent bonus features.
The trade-off is capped maximum wins rather than unlimited progressive potential.
Top Software Providers in Michigan
NetEnt dominates Michigan’s slot landscape with proven titles that players recognize across multiple states. Their games feature polished graphics, smooth animations, and reliable bonus mechanics.
NetEnt’s strength lies in balanced volatility and engaging features without overwhelming complexity. Their slots appeal to casual players and experienced gamblers through intuitive interfaces and clear paytables.
High5 Games brings Las Vegas casino floor experience to online platforms. Their slots translate physical cabinet aesthetics into digital format while adding features impossible on mechanical machines. High5 specializes in familiar themes executed with premium production values.
Wazdan carved a niche through unique features like volatility selection. Players adjust game math models mid-session, choosing between frequent small wins or rare large payouts. This flexibility represents innovation that larger providers haven’t matched. Wazdan slots may lack NetEnt’s polish but offer mechanical variety worth exploring.
Game Selection Varies by Operator
Different Michigan casinos emphasize different providers:
Operator
Primary Providers
Exclusive Titles
Total Slot Count
BetMGM
NetEnt, IGT, Evolution
MGM-branded games
800+
DraftKings
NetEnt, High5, Pragmatic Play
DK Rocket
500+
FanDuel
NetEnt, IGT, SG Digital
FanDuel exclusives
450+
Caesars
NetEnt, Scientific Games
Caesars-branded slots
600+
Operators negotiate exclusive deals with certain providers, creating unique game libraries. A slot available at BetMGM might not exist on FanDuel.
Must-Try Slot Categories
Megaways Mechanics
Big Time Gaming’s Megaways engine creates up to 117,649 ways to win through variable reel heights. Each spin produces different symbol configurations, maintaining unpredictability. Bonanza, Extra Chilli, and White Rabbit exemplify Megaways at its best.
Cluster Pays Games
Instead of traditional paylines, cluster pays slots reward groups of adjacent symbols. This mechanic enables cascading wins where successful combinations disappear and new symbols drop, potentially creating multiple consecutive wins from one spin.
Buy Bonus Features
Some slots let players purchase direct access to bonus rounds rather than triggering them randomly. This appeals to impatient gamblers willing to pay premium prices for immediate feature access. Prices vary based on potential returns – typically 50-100x the base bet.
Theme Preferences Shape Game Selection
Slot themes matter more than some players admit. Michigan’s slot libraries cover these popular themes:
Ancient civilizations (Egypt, Greece, Rome)
Adventure and exploration
Fantasy and mythology
Fruit machines and classic designs
Animals and nature
Movies and TV shows (licensed content)
Licensed slots based on movies or TV shows often attract fans despite lower RTPs. The intellectual property licensing costs reduce payouts but draw players through familiar characters.
Bankroll Management for Slot Players
Smart slot play requires discipline regardless of game selection. Set loss limits before starting sessions and stick to them.
Bet sizing relative to bankroll:
Conservative: 1% of total bankroll per spin (100 spins minimum)
Moderate: 2% of bankroll per spin (50 spins minimum)
Aggressive: 5% of bankroll per spin (20 spins minimum)
Higher volatility slots need conservative bet sizing since long losing streaks occur regularly. Low volatility games tolerate larger bets relative to bankroll since wins arrive more frequently.
Bonus features provide most of a slot’s entertainment value and profit potential. Base game spins exist primarily to trigger free spins, pick-and-click games, or wheel bonuses. Players should calculate how many spins their bankroll supports before likely triggering features.
Slot Tournaments and Promotions
Michigan operators run regular slot tournaments rewarding top performers with cash prizes or free play. These competitions use specific games over set timeframes, creating leaderboards based on total wins or highest single wins.
Tournament strategy differs from regular play. Maximum bets increase leaderboard climb speed by generating larger potential wins. The risk-reward calculation changes since you’re competing against other players.
Some operators offer slot-specific promotions like “Spin of the Day” featuring selected titles with enhanced prizes or cashback. These promotions improve effective RTP temporarily, making featured games better value during promotion periods.
Michigan’s slot selection rivals any US regulated market for variety and quality. Players benefit from competition between 14 licensed operators, each curating libraries to attract and retain customers.
Understanding game mechanics, provider reputations, and smart bankroll management turns slot play from mindless button-pushing into strategic entertainment with reasonable winning potential.

Pink Floyd today unveil ‘Shine On You Crazy Diamond (pts. 1-9, New Stereo Mix)’. Renowned globally as the two-part epic bookending their era-defining LP Wish You Were Here, the new version sees the full song pieced together for the first time ever. Newly mixed in stereo by James Guthrie, the result is one 25 minute long epic, which will be included in the 50th Anniversary edition of the album to be released on December 12th via Sony Music.
‘Shine On You Crazy Diamond’ and the story of its creation has gone down in rock n’ roll folklore. Pink Floyd’s tribute to their childhood friend and former bandmate Syd Barrett is a hauntingly beautiful, sprawling masterwork, imbued with feelings of guilt, frustration and sadness at not just the decline of Syd’s health, but the failings of society and modern life. In one of the most poignant episodes of the band’s career, Syd arrived unannounced at Abbey Road Studios on the day Pink Floyd were beginning the final mixes of the track, only for none of the band to recognise the new appearance of their former frontman.
In celebration of the release and of Syd Barrett’s enduring legacy, comedian, actor and artist Noel Fielding has created a series of specially commissioned original paintings inspired by Syd’s iconic image, spotlighting this most unique and influential of souls. Watch the new video for ‘Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Pts. 1-9, New Stereo Mix)’, featuring Noel’s paintings, HERE. For more information about Noel Fielding’s art contact Podgorny, Jealous and Don’t Walk Walk galleries.
Noel Fielding says, “I was pretty young when my affinity with Pink Floyd and Syd started. I remember going to the library and hiring the tape of The Piper at the Gates of Dawn when I was 12. And I just was like, ‘What’s this?’ It blew my mind. I couldn’t believe it.
When I started doing stand up it was all very whimsical. I was always trying to write like I was Syd Barrett. I liked his style, I liked his walk, I liked the way he talked. ‘Shine On You Crazy Diamond’ is such a beautiful tribute to him.
What’s amazing about Pink Floyd, especially with Wish You Were Here, is that the artwork was as good as the music. When you’re 12 and you’re seeing two guys shaking hands, one of them’s on fire, you’re thinking ‘what?!’ And the music goes exactly with that as well; it’s perfectly in sync with the visuals, with the weird surrealism. And that’s all very Syd Barrett. It could be the 70s, but it could be 2040. It’s the future and the past at the same time. It is a masterpiece, that album cover, and that album. It’s a masterpiece. And it’s based on Syd Barrett, who is a walking masterpiece.”
The collaboration with Noel Fielding follows Dear Pink Floyd, a new poem written and performed by Poet LaureateSimon Armitage, which was unveiled last month to celebrate Wish You Were Here at 50. The poem is one of the myriad of special collectors gems included in the upcoming Deluxe Box Set release. Watch Simon Armitage perform the first reading of Dear Pink Floyd.
Wish You Were Here 50 will be released in multiple formats including 3LP, 2CD, Blu-ray, digital and a Deluxe Box Set. The digital release includes the original 1975 album, featuring a new Dolby Atmos mix by James Guthrie, whose work with Pink Floyd dates back to 1979’s The Wall. It also includes 25 bonus tracks made up of nine studio rarities, and 16 live recordings captured by the renowned bootlegger Mike Millard at Pink Floyd’s Los Angeles Sports Arena concert on April 26th 1975, now receiving its first official release. The live audio has been meticulously restored and remastered by Steven Wilson. The Blu-ray edition also gives fans the chance to see three concert screen films from the band’s 1975 tour, plus a Storm Thorgerson short film. The 3LP and 2CD formats include the original album and the nine studio bonus tracks. The Deluxe Box Set includes all 2CD, 3LP (on exclusive clear vinyl) and Blu-Ray material, plus a fourth clear vinyl LP, Live At Wembley 1974, a replica Japanese 7” Single of Have A Cigar b/w Welcome To The Machine, a hardcover book including unseen photographs, and Dear Pink Floyd, by Simon Armitage, a comic book tour programme and Knebworth concert poster. Exclusive 50th Anniversary Merchandise along with Limited Edition product releases will also be available at PinkFloyd.com.
Wish You Were Here has been a mainstay on all-time greatest albums lists for decades. The multi-Platinum-selling #1 hit record was Pink Floyd’s first to reach the top of the charts on both sides of the Atlantic, becoming the band’s fastest selling album. In 1973, The Dark Side of the Moon had taken Pink Floyd from a hugely successful breakout British band to one of the biggest rock groups on the planet. Wish You Were Here was the band’s powerful response to their newfound global fame. In 2025 the ardent support and fascination surrounding Pink Floyd’s music remains.

Hard rocking songsmiths Tyketto return with their sixth studio album, ‘Closer To The Sun’, set for release March 20 through Silver Lining Music. It will be available in deluxe limited edition 12-inch sunburst vinyl, red and black vinyl, CD digipak, digital formats, and exclusive direct-to-consumer bundles. The first single, “Higher Than High”, is accompanied by a music video directed and edited by Scott Wardell and filmed by Paul Hollingsworth at KK’s Steel Mill. It’s a rousing anthem packed with grit and hope, and frontman Danny Vaughn calls it “classic Tyketto,” urging listeners to “play me loudly and take me for a drive.”
Recorded at studios across the UK and Europe, including the legendary Rockfield Studios in Wales, ‘Closer To The Sun’ covers themes of love, loss, and resilience. With Vaughn on vocals, Harry Scott Elliott on guitar, Ged Rylands on keys, Thunder’s Chris Childs on bass, and Doro drummer Johnny Dee on drums, the band charges forward with swagger and emotional punch. From the anthemic title track to the raw stomp of “Hit Me Where It Hurts” and the emotional lift of “The Picture”, Tyketto deliver an album that sits confidently alongside the giants of hard rock.
