Secret Garden Party – UK’s leading independent festival shakes up the music industry.

With Secret Garden Party’s announcement to support Chai Wallahs’ Drop a Headliner campaign, in order to nurture grass roots artists for their 2024 edition, their curated line-up features over 350 artists including: Unkle, Crystal Fighters, Chinchilla, Franky Wah, Carly Wilford, Adelphi Music Factory, Jakkob, Omega Nebula, Technobrass, TC & The Groove together with independent collectives The Living Room & Noiganica hosting dedicated venues. Save Our Scene, Parable Music, Dubtendo and Truth Tribe plus many more collectives are providing exciting stage takeovers to deliver an unparalleled event in July 2024.

Leaning into their vibrant history that proudly spans across two decades, Secret Garden Party has consistently pushed boundaries forward with their programming, actively championing developing acts. In past years, Secret Garden Party has hosted some of the most exciting talent from across the industry, including Lily Allen, Ed Sheeran and Dua Lipa whilst also playing a monumental role in breaking the careers of now global superstars Florence & The Machine, The XX and Regina Spektor who’s first ever festival appearance was at SGP.

Founder Fred Fellowes emphasises the importance of inclusivity, stating “We believe in being a breeding ground for talent to grow. Why allocate a massive budget to one or two headliners when it could fuel another 50 outstanding acts? This year’s focus is on providing grassroots artists the ability to shine, whilst actively redefining festival experiences for the future.”

Tickets are now on sale and available via the website.

French Disco & synth-pop band Le Couleur announce online album launch

After several concerts being canceled due to the global pandemic, disco and synth-pop band Le Couleur will be performing a virtual concert for all of their fans across the globe to enjoy. The concert will take place on the 17th of September to celebrate their forthcoming album release Concorde. Currently sitting over 10.9 million streams across multiple music streaming platforms, no wonder they have won the GAMIQ prize for the ‘Best Electronic EP of the Year’, their previous album release was also one of the 40 Canadian albums to selected to feature on the Polaris Music Long List.

The new album is inspired by the rise and fall of the historic Concorde event. The band is rooted in 70’s influence, from psychedelia, disco, yéyé and French chanson. I am sure that Le Couleur’s new album will easily be mistaken for a masterpiece that was created in the 70’s period.

Tune into the Le Couleur concert on Thursday, September 17th at 9pm Eastern Standard Time (EST)

Pitchfork Music Festival Paris announces stellar lineup

Pitchfork Music Festival Paris has announced the second wave of artists to appear at the ninth edition of the festival as well as details of day splits and one day tickets. The festival will run from Oct 31st to November 2nd, 2019 at Le Grande Halle de la Villette.

This year’s festival will feature a more diverse line up than ever before, introducing two new stages focussing on up and coming talent. Newly announced artists and day splits show the festival delving into a different area of exciting and innovative contemporary talent each day, delivering an eclectic and diverse selection of established and emerging names.

Halloween will see the festival kick off with some of most exciting names in grime, rap and electronic music, with South African musician and poet Zola joining Skepta, Mura Masa, Belgian rapper and producer Hamza as well as a whole host of up and coming artists, including hotly tipped British soul newcomer Celeste, London-based MC Flohio and nu-jazz band The Comet Is Coming.

Friday, November 1st sees the festival take a turn for the more classic indie side of things, with Primal Screamjoining headliners that already include Italio-disco-synth-pop heavy-weights Chromatics, legendary indie heart-breakers Belle and Sebastian, and the rapidly rising folk-noir of Weyes Blood. Added to the bill today is frequent Weyes Blood collaborator Drugdealer, fizzing energetic Japanese four-piece Chai, up-and-coming Brighton bandSquid and Philadelphia’s classic rock’n’roll re-inventors, Sheer Mag.

On Saturday November 2nd, the line-up is a true party celebration of pop music in its many forms, with a secret still-to-be-announced headliner joined by Charlie XCX and today’s additions – 2manydjs whose DJ sets are always guaranteed to get the party going, Norway’s Aurora and French electro producer and DJ SebastiAn, who is known for his work with Daft Punk. Charlotte Gainsbourg, Beastie Boys and more. London singer-songwriter Aeris Roves, Russian producer Kedr Livanskiy and a DJ set from French web site Konbini complete Saturday’s party.

The three-day festival will feature around 50 different artists and there will be two new stages – bringing the total now to four. La Petite Halle and the Boris Vian auditorium, located next to and inside the Grande Halle respectively, will each play host to a new stage, welcoming the future stars of tomorrow. The festival continues to set musical trends boasting its trailblazing status by inviting indie music’s new guard to take over the new concert spaces.

Between concerts go to the ball pool, fairground rides or roller disco. The festival will also host an independent pop-up record store with a selection of sounds spanning today and yesteryear, carefully curated by Les Balades Sonores. The Klin d’Oeil creators market will once again be back but with a new look to boot, showcasing creative talent and artisans showing off their musically-inspired wares. Outside under the Grande Halle’s awning, our favourite Parisian restaurants will be out in fine force, as a whole host of food trucks will be passionately serving up foodie treats that are just as tasty as the music on offer. For your auditory and gustative pleasure, the Cave à Vins wine bar will be serving up the most perfect music and wine pairing.

For those who like to party hard late into the night, the fun continues over at the Trabendo, which will host three after-parties of unique electro live shows and frenzied DJ sets, in partnership with Red Bull Music – details to be announced.

‘A New Way’ by morgxn set to make waves at Pride this year

Queer artist morgxn has been scheduled to perform at Pride in London this coming weekend, the 6th of July. Ahead of this, he has released the official video for his single, ‘A New Way. The video was directed by Matt Delisi and premiered at GLAAD.org. It features big names in the LGBTQ+ community such as Melissa Befierce, Lori Queen, Sonique, Gracie Cartier, Jeffrey Bertollini, Amber Romero and more.

Pride also will feature artists such as Billy Porter, Becky Hill, Saara Aalto and Heather Peace and over one million people are expected to participate in this year. The festival, starting off with only two thousand people in 1972, will be celebrating its 47th year.

Following Pride, morgxn will make his Good Morning America debut performing ‘A New Way’ for the first time on national TV on July 16th. This won’t be the first time for doing something like this for him – he’s appeared Jimmy Kimmel Live as well as Last Call with Carson Daly.

“‘A New Way’ is calling for us to find a new way of being — one fuelled by childlike wonder and joy. It’s about moving beyond despair and darkness and embracing a wilder, freer sense of self.” – Paper Magazine.
