Turnstile reschedule Brixton Academy show and announce new Manchester show

Brixton Academy is set to remain closed until April following the fatal crowd crush at an Asake concert at the venue in December – with a number of gigs beyond that now being relocated, including the Turnstile show and a gig from Dublin’s Inhaler.

After the venue’s licence was temporarily suspended until January 16, Lambeth Council said that they would meet again on that date to discuss the future of the venue. Before the meeting, a spokesperson for Academy Music Group (AMG) – the company that runs the venue – said it would stay closed voluntarily until April while investigations continue. The meeting then saw the announcement that the venue’s licence would be suspended for three months also.

Tickets for both gigs are on sale now here.

The band’s third album ‘GLOW ON’ was released in August 2021. In a five-star review, NME called it “the sound of rock music stretched to its thrilling limits”.

Since then, the band played a chaotic set at Glastonbury 2022 and appeared on the cover of NME.

In the cover feature, Yates spoke of the band’s crossover appeal, saying: “That’s always a great feeling. The ability to reach whoever might be looking for our music, and seeing that happen, is always an amazing feeling. Since we’ve been able to play live again, the opportunities we’ve been blessed with to play for so many new people…”

The band are set to tour with the recently-reunited Blink-182 this year, playing a host of North American tour dates.

Last December, 2ManyDJs spoke to NME about the legacy of their iconic album ‘As Heard On Radio Soulwax Pt.2′ mix, as well as the indie dance scene of 2002 and counting David Bowie as a fan.

“It’s still weird that we talk about Bowie as if we’d known him but we only met him once,” Stephen told NME. “It’s pretty crazy, even now. He was even on the forum on our little website as ‘David Bowie’ asking us questions, and we thought he was someone else!

“When we met him, Dave asked him how much time he spent on the internet and he replied, ‘Don’t you see I’m on your forum all the time?’ It seems like such a weird world now.”

Meanwhile, following the closure of Brixton Academy, many of the gigs at the venue are being rescheduled to new venues across London.

Dates in January for Wallows, Sleep Token and PVRIS were all moved to Eventim Apollo, while Dry Cleaning and Beartooth‘s March gigs will now take place at The Roundhouse and OVO Arena Wembley, respectively. Röyksopp, meanwhile moved their show on February 19 to Troxy and are re-selling tickets as a result, due to the venue being smaller than Brixton Academy. Yard Act also recently removed their gig to Troxy too.

Röyksopp is one of many artists who have had to move their scheduled Brixton gigs to other venues. Many, including Wallows, Sleep Token, PVRIS and Hundred Reasons have moved their London shows to the similar-sized Eventim Apollo in Hammersmith. Others, such as Viagra Boys and Dry Cleaning, have moved their shows to smaller venues such as Troxy and the Roundhouse, while Beartooth and I Prevail have scaled their shows up for Wembley Arena.

Other artists whose shows will be affected but who have not confirmed new venues yet include Caroline Polachek, Palaye Royale, Father John Misty and Fatboy Slim.

In addition, despite reports that Pendulum’s London gigs in March have been cancelled, someone close to the band’s team has confirmed to NME that is not the case and a new venue will be announced shortly.

Röyksopp released the third part of their ‘Profound Mysteries’ project in November. Reviewing the first two parts of ‘Profound Mysteries’, NME wrote: “It’s a satisfying ride. This smooth and consistent journey through nostalgia and the energy of new ideas means that ‘Profound Mysteries’ parts one and two stand up as latter-day career triumphs for Röyksopp. Taken as a whole, it’s certainly their finest collection of music since ‘Melody AM’ – and the opening of a bold new chapter.”

— Beartooth (@BEARTOOTHband) January 17, 2023

The news that Brixton Academy would remain closed for the foreseeable future was announced on Friday (January 13).

The closure comes following two deaths caused by a crowd crush at last month’s Asake gig. The incident occurred when people who were outside the venue were able to force their way in to the show, leading to overcrowding and the gig being cancelled midway through.

Rebecca Ikumelo, aged 33, died in hospital on December 17, while Gaby Hutchinson, 23, died on December 19. A third attendee, aged 21, remains in hospital in a critical condition.

On December 22, it was reported that Brixton Academy’s licence could be temporarily suspended after the incident, with the venue later ordered to remain shut until January 16. Now, Academy Music Group (AMG), which runs the venue, has said it will stay closed while several investigations continue.

Beartooth, meanwhile, released new single ‘Riptide’ last summer, and told NME how it was inspired by the likes of BTS, Ariana Grande and Backstreet Boys.

The new track represents a “clean slate” for the band, vocalist Caleb Shomo told NME. Discussing 2020 album ‘Below’, he said: “As much as I love that record and it was important for my life and my career, it was absolutely the most depressing and sad piece of work I’ve ever done.”

He continued: “I still do not have the full brief from the venue management themselves as to what led to the disruption at the entrance of the Brixton Academy, but we are thankful that all was peaceful at the end.”

Asake, whose real name is Ahmed Ololade, was nominated in the BBC’s Sound of 2023 poll and was performing his third of three shows at the venue.

Clairo debuts new song ‘Nomad’ on first night of US tour

Back in December, Clairo rescheduled her upcoming UK and European tour due to COVID-related concerns.

The singer was set to tour her recently released second album ‘Sling’ across January and February, but worries around the rise of the Omicron variant means the shows will now take place in September and October.

“I reeeeally hate to do this- but we have decided to reschedule the upcoming January Europe/UK tour,” Clairo told fans on Instagram while sharing new dates.

She added: “as much as we want to get back on the road, everybody’s safety is far more important & i hope you understand.”

See the new list of rescheduled dates below and purchase tickets here.

SEPTEMBER 2022
19 – Dublin, Olympia Theatre
20 – Dublin, Olympia Theatre
22 – Paris, Le Bataclan
23 – Brussels, La Madeleine
27 – Amsterdam, Paradiso
28 – Amsterdam, Paradiso
29 – Birmingham, O2 Academy
30 – Bristol, O2 Academy

OCTOBER 2022
2 – Glasgow, O2 Academy
3 – Manchester, O2 Academy
4 – London, Brixton Academy

Clairo recently told NME that she wouldn’t tour unless protocols were in place to protect her fans. “If I can’t provide this [security] on tour, then I won’t tour – that’s my mentality at the moment,” she said.

“I really do feel in my heart of hearts that there’s going to be a wave of tours that are really stamped as the ‘safe tour’ and provide all this. Touring is one of the only things that hasn’t changed much. Granted, a lot of things need to change in the industry, but this is definitely one of them.”

Claire explained that there would “most definitely” be someone who isn’t affiliated with any of the venues she plays on future tours to serve as a “point of contact for any misconduct that goes on within the crowd”.

Listen to Feeder’s uplifting new single, ‘The Healing’

Speaking about their latest single, frontman Grant Nicholas said: “When writing ‘The Healing’ I definitely had a rock musical/film track in my head. I wanted to take the listener on a real journey with this song.”

He continued: “It touches on the current world and climate we live in and also the issues and situations we are facing from day to day. I guess it’s a call to arms or a wake-up call about coming together to make change and to think about the future and the next step.”

The band are due to release their new album on March 18 via Big Teeth Music, before hitting the road for a UK tour the following month.

“We are really looking forward to going out on the road again and playing the new album material. This will be the heaviest Feeder set we’ve played in a while so can’t wait. We may revisit some heavier old school Feeder classics also and touch on some Renegades and All Bright electric stuff,” Nicholas previously said of their forthcoming tour.

A post shared by Claire Cottrill (@clairo)

Clairo becomes the latest in a host of artists to cancel shows in the last week due to a global rise in COVID cases.

Yesterday (December 19), LCD Soundsystem cancelled the remainder of their 20-show run at Brooklyn Steel, while Enter Shikari also postponed the rest of their 2021 tour dates and some 2022 shows, saying that “the safety of our crew and our audience will always come first”.

As it stands, Clairo is still set to head out on a 2022 North American tour, which will kick off in February and feature Arlo Parks as support.

For both the US and UK/EU tour, Clairo has partnered with SafeTour and Calling All Crows for her 2022 live dates “to provide a safe and harassment-free concert experience”.

A representative from Calling All Crows will join Clairo’s touring team to respond to requests for support through a text helpline and provide “proactive canvassing of each concert, [as well as] messaging and educational support so that attendees can take part in making these shows and their own communities safer”.

Listen to Feeder’s storming new track ‘Magpie’

“The lyrics were mainly written on my daily walks and runs to Finsbury Park during lockdown. It was a very observational process for me and mentions my childhood superstition for Magpie birds that I had spotted every day.

Nicholas added: “The song’s chorus touches on the frustration that I think we all feel, and especially felt at that time, about the future in general. It also addresses the impact social media and how it can affect peoples’ belief, dreams and mental wellbeing.”

“We are all kind of servants to the system in some way and our own feelings and emotions – it’s just how each person deals with them in their own way. It’s definitely one of my favourite tracks on the ‘Torpedo’ album and was fun to write and record some big riffs.”

The band are set to tour behind ‘Torpedo’ next year, with dates beginning in Bexhill on April 23. The dates will then run into May and finishing with a huge London gig at Brixton Academy on May 6.

Four Tet announces 2021 run of shows at Brixton Academy

The events are billed as Four Tet + Friends, suggesting that special guests will appear at the three shows. They will take place from 8pm-2am on October 6 and 7, and 9pm-4am on October 8.

— Four Tet (@FourTet) August 31, 2021

Earlier this month, Four Tet – aka Kieran Hebden – launched legal action against his label Domino, claiming damages for a historic royalty rate applied to downloads and streaming revenue of his music first released in the noughties. The artist is alleging a breach of contract over the label’s royalty rate of 18 per cent.

Domino has rejected Hebden’s claims in a defence document and the case will now be tried by a judge at the Business and Property Courts of the High Court of Justice.

Meanwhile, Four Tet released two new albums ‘Parallel’ and ‘871’ on Christmas Day last year, only announcing them hours before their arrival. In January, he followed them with a part-collaborative record with Madlib called ‘Sound Ancestors’.

Of his work on the latter record, Hebden explained: “We decided to work on this together with him sending me tracks, loops, ideas and experiments that I would arrange, edit, manipulate and combine. I was sent hundreds of pieces of music over a couple of years stretch and during that time I put together this album with all the parts that fitted with my vision.”

Brockhampton released new album ‘Roadrunner: New Light, New Machine’ last week (April 9). In a three-star review of the album, NME wrote: “No longer a boyband freewheeling around south Los Angeles with the world at their feet, Brockhampton now represents something entirely different, whether or not they’re entering their last year as a band, as they say.

“While ‘Roadrunner’ doesn’t provide party-starting hits tailor-made for when the clubs re-open, Brockhampton remains a vehicle for its sprawling cast of members to interrogate and overcome their darkest thoughts as one, and it’s a welcome reminder that you can tackle anything if you do it together.”

The band’s leader Kevin Abstract recently said in an interview that ‘Roadrunner’ is the first of two albums they will release in 2021, which will also be their “last”, hinting at an imminent breakup.

Meanwhile, Rafferty Law has said that he would love to play Joe Strummer in a biopic.

Speaking to NME, the actor and son of Jude Law and Sadie Frost said The Clash have been a big band in his life, adding “I love the way they dress and their music. Joe Strummer could be a wicked person to play.”

Thundercat moves tour to 2021, upgrades London show to Brixton Academy

Thundercat’s latest album, ‘It Is What It Is’, was released in April and boasts collaborations with Childish Gambino, Kamasi Washington, BADBADNOTGOOD, Louis Cole and Zack Fox.

In a four-star review, NME wrote: “The jazz-fusion bassline don reins in the funk to honour his fallen friend, though also lets loose with the likes of Childish Gambino by his side”, adding that the “versatile superstar mediates on life and death with a tribute to Mac Miller”.

“‘It Is What It Is’’s magic moment comes as Thundercat links up with Steve Lacy, Childish Gambino and ‘80s funk hero Steve Arrington on ‘Black Qualls’; the disco-funk tune should be up for consideration as the best song of 2020. Its inclusion here gives a comforting indication that, for all of the album’s heavy rumination on life, death and healing, Thundercat can still kick back when required.”

In 2016, Thundercat won a Grammy for Best Rap/Sung Performance for his work on the track ‘These Walls’ from Kendrick Lamar‘s multiple Grammy award-winning 2016 album ‘To Pimp a Butterfly‘.

Mahalia postpones Brixton Academy headline show until 2021

“It’s happening. Same time, same place but 1 year later,” the singer wrote on Twitter of her “23rd birthday show”.

“I can’t believe I’ve gotta wait so long to do this but we bout to go bigger and better. See you lot in 2021 for the movie,” Mahalia added.

Tickets purchased for the 2020 show will remain valid for the May 1, 2021 performance.

In a recent interview with NME, Mahalia discussed her recent EP ‘Isolation Tapes’ – which arrived the same day her Brixton show was originally due to take place. “It was all stuff that I loved and that nobody ever gets to hear,” she said of the project.

Elsewhere, she compared releasing her debut record to “giving birth”. “It really felt like a whole world was lifted off me. I don’t think I slept for the last two months before it was released,” she said.
