When the clocks strike midnight on Wednesday, I hope millions more will also be belting this New Year's Eve anthem at the top of our lungs, from beginning to end (or at least the pieces you can remember and/or pronounce).

Lily Allen's live return, Charli xcx's Wuthering Heights and Simon Rattle's Janacek: music to listen out for in 2026

Seventeen years on from the release of her debut single, Florence Welch finds herself in an intriguingly strong position: while most of her early 00s indie peers are forgotten or in reduced circumstances, she is a major influence on pop, from Ethel Cain to the Last Dinner Party to Chappell Roan. Her recent album Everybody Scream was a strong restatement of her theatrical approach with more light and shade than you might expect but it's on stage that she really comes into her own.

Extended Play - The Wire

The prehistory of drone music begins with the recognition of sound as a temporal event. In ritual, chant and natural acoustics, drones mark ambience and continuity. Ancient instruments such as horns and bells produce extended vibrations that transform time into a perceptual field, and this stretching of temporal experience is as much social as musical. These instruments and others have proliferated into the rhythms of the human world.
