British vocalist Tom Grennan is set to play 10 dates as part of his UK What Ifs & Maybes tour starting in March 2023, and tickets are due to go on general sale from 9am on Friday 7 October. Although, it’s worth taking a look now, as some pre-sale tickets are already available at specific venues and in connection with O2 and Three priority perks, for example.
The Bedford-born musician is ending 2022 on a high, with this year’s achievements including four UK top-10 singles. In addition, Grennan’s platinum-selling songs Little Bit Of Love and By Your Side have earned the impressive accolade of being within the top three most played songs of the year.
Both songs come from Grennan’s breakthrough UK No.1 album Evering Road. That’s no mean musical feat, and even more reason to grab tickets to his upcoming UK tour.
The 10 UK-wide locations included in the March 2023 tour are Birmingham,...

Sam Smith has said that Queer music can be “anything” while discussing their new music.
A decade after releasing “Latch” alongside dance duo Disclosure, the singer was responding to questions about their new sound and reiterated how queer music can be any genre.
“I don’t enjoy the fact that to be queer, it has to be dance music,” they said in an interview for British GQ Style’s Autumn/ Winter 2022 issue.
“I think queer music can be country, it can be folk, it can be jazz, it can be anything.”
“I do find it hard sometimes when people may think that my music’s got queerer, because to me, it hasn’t. The subject matter of my songs [has] always been about men I’ve been in love with. They’ve always been queer.”
The 30-year-old also spoke about how their newfound confidence had enhanced their romantic life.
“Over the last few years,...

‘We got the power back’: Kwabs and Hardy Caprio on surviving the music industry and childhood trauma
In 2015, Kwabs was on the rise. The British artist born Kwabena Sarkodee Adjepong had made the longlist on the BBC’s Sound Of poll, alongside Stormzy, Years & Years and Wolf Alice. An early cover of James Blake’s “The Wilhelm Scream” helped secure a record deal with Atlantic; heavyweights including Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith, Coldplay, Kylie Minogue and Laura Mvula sang his praises on social media. His hit single “Walk” featured on the Fifa 15 soundtrack and, in a review of his debut album Love + War, The Independent’s late critic Andy Gill praised the “warm, intensely human timbre” of Kwabs’s voice. He was poised for the kind of success that most artists only dream of. Then everything went quiet.
“By the time it got to 2016, I was tired,” Kwabs tells me. He draws a breath and repeats the word, drawing it out for emphasis: “Tiiiiiiired.” We’re sitting in...
