Music to Look out for in 2016 Dance Music

We aren’t into predictions lists or reviews of the year, but we do enjoy looking forward and previewing the things we can all look forward to in 2016. For the first time in quite a few years, the early months of the New Year have several exciting events upcoming without the focus being purely on the BRIT Awards.

Here’s what we’re looking forward to in early 2016.

David Bowie’s 25th Album

David Bowie’s 25th studio album – Blackstar – will be released on January 8th, which is Bowie’s 69th birthday. As you’d expect from such a legend of music, the result is expected to be incredible. Numerous reviews have already been written by those fortunate enough to have heard it, while Rolling Stone magazine recently published a lengthy feature on the album, speaking to producer Tony Visconti as well as others that were heavily involved in producing the record.

Primal Scream’s New Album

Primal Scream are an incredible group and are now onto their 11th full length album. The Scream announced in early December that Chaosmosis will be released in March, and that their summer schedule will see them headline four tour dates and perform at four festivals.

To get you in the mood, Primal Scream released a short preview video, which we’ve included below.

The Stone Roses are Back

Okay, so The Stone Roses are something to look forward to in the summer, but they get in on account of the numbers of people who will be spending the early part of the New Year looking forward to seeing them live.

Their initial comeback in 2012 was a huge success, and since that time the group has also seen the production of an acclaimed documentary – Made of Stone – filmed by This is England director Shane Meadows.

The Roses are playing Etihad Stadium, Marley Park, and the T in the Park festival in 2016.

Jack Garratt

Jack Garratt has already drawn the ire of certain groups of people that see anyone with a beard and immediately shout ‘hipster,’ but he has already won a critics choice award and new music connoisseurs are already showing great interest in his music.

As a ‘multi-instrumentalist’ he’s bound to be something of a ‘marmite’ musician, but you can’t really argue with his talent or his ability.

Coldplay at the Super Bowl

The Super Bowl is one of the biggest gigs in the world when you consider the size of the global TV audience, probably rivalled by only the football World Cup final. We all know how great Coldplay are and about their reputation for always raising the bar, so it is likely to be an incredible spectacle.

Muse

Muse are probably still the greatest live band in the world, and their performances are definitely worthy of a place on ‘all-time greatest’ lists. Their Drones tour – named for their brilliant 2015 album – continues in the early part of the New Year, and they make what is sure to be a triumphant return to the UK in April.
