Lad rock is officially back. And the return of beer-soaked, riff-heavy, chorus-yelled rock ain't ending when Oasis' final Wembley gigs wrap up this weekend: next summer Kasabian have announced their biggest ever London headline show at Finsbury Park. Serge Pizzorno and co will be in north London next July, and they're the first headliner announced for Finsbury Park's series of gigs next summer. In 2025 the park was headlined by the likes of Fontaines DC, Stereophonics and Slayer (plus Drake at Wireless).
Surprise! The 2026 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival lineup is out and it's topped by pop stars. Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber and Karol G will headline the twin weekends of the festival, which return to the Empire Polo Club in Indio April 10-12 and 17-19, 2026. Other notable acts include elder statesmen such as Iggy Pop, David Byrne and Devo, rock acts including the Strokes and Turnstile, pop star Addison Rae, EDM superstar Kaskade, rapper Young Thug and dozens of others.
Back in July Scottish singer/songwriter Lewis Capaldi announced a grand return to touring after a two-year break. The 'Someone You Loved' and 'Before You Go' singer revealed a bunch of UK tour dates, and he's currently working his way through several of Britain's biggest indoor arenas. Now Capaldi has announced an extension of that tour with several equally massive (if not bigger) outdoor shows in the UK next summer. And, excitingly, one of them is here in London at BST Hyde Park.
After headlining Coachella and a series of shows across Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro, and Singapore, Lady Gaga is embarking on a massive 2025-2026 tour. Titled the "Mayhem Ball," the trek sees Mother Monster returning to arenas in North America and Europe throughout the summer and fall, followed by a newly announced 2026 North American leg running from February to April.
BST has had quite the run of huge-name country headliners over the last few years. Zach Bryan, Shania Twain and Morgan Wallen have all headlined the Great Oak Stage in recent editions. Brooks' concert next June will be his first appearance in the UK in nearly 30 years. That's right, three decades. That's a hell of a long time for the best-selling solo artist in US history to have not played the UK. He last performed here in 1998.
Arijit Singh is set to become the first Indian-born artist to headline a UK stadium when he heads to London for his only European date of 2025.

The vocalist, whose music often features in Bollywood films, is performing at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Friday.
