I
know we’re technically halfway through September now but there’s still so much
to look forward to this month; here’s what I think you should be feasting your
eyes and ears on over the next few weeks!
Places to Be
Apple Music
Festival
What
was know as the iTunes Music Festival, the previously month-long
extravaganza has been condensed down to just a week this year, located at the usual venue of
London’s Roundhouse with the biggest names in the music industry playing, and
even more support acts to be announced.
Tickets
are free but managing to get one is like finding a pot of gold at the end of
the rainbow - head to iTunes to try your luck at grabbing one.
Don’t
fear if you do miss out, they’ll be live streaming all the artist’s
performances via the Apple Music app.
Florence + the
Machine Tour
If
you haven’t got tickets to see this glorious goddess yet then I’d get a move on
pretty quick as she only has a few dates left and the tickets are selling like
hot cakes.
Having caught her incredible set at Glastonbury this year, I couldn’t
believe my luck when my best friend presented me with tickets to one of her
many London dates for my birthday; it is guaranteed to be a spectacles of sparkles and splendour
The Wombats Tour
This
Liverpudlian trio are hitting the road for a short tour at the end of September
(with a couple of October dates). They’re playing some fair-sized venues
including Nottingham’s famous Rock City and of course the magnificent Ally
Pally, a well deserved step up for them from their previous tours after the
release of ‘Glitterbug’, their third album which charted at #5.
Tickets
are still available for some venues at a decent price for such an amazing live
band!
Listen Out For
Light Up the
Dark – Gabrielle Aplin, 18th September
After
the success of her first album, young songstress Aplin has a mean feat ahead of
her to produce a matching follow-up album. If her already released singles are
anything to go by, she won’t need to worry about the comparison; with an edgier
vibe the music seems to have matured with the artist.
Every Open Eye –
CHVRCHES, 25th September
Scottish
synth trio are back with another album packed with punches and pulses. I have a lot
of love for lead singer Lauren Mayberry, and not only because of her speaking
out against misogyny, but for her sweet tones and biting lyrics. The reviews so
far have sang their praises for carrying on the 80s electronic revival, a trend
followed by TSwift’s ‘1989’ and other popular female artists.
Caracal -
Disclosure, 25th September
It
seems to be the month of second albums as this sibling DJ duo are set to
release theirs showcasing not only already hard-hitting names but also
up-and-coming artists such as Lion Babe. You can get a taste for the album
already as they’ve released 3 official singles, 2 promotional singles and 1
unofficially released single – only 6 more songs to go!
Judging
by these songs and the reviews, they’ve stuck with what they know best which is
anthemic electronic bangers with deep beats and exceptional vocals from every
featured artist; why change such a winning formula?
What are you looking forward to this month?
