Déyyess writes the kind of love song that feels like accidentally confessing your crush at 2 am and then replaying the moment in your head for the next six months.
The alt-pop artist has just dropped the deluxe version of her acclaimed EP Would You Go Down On A Girl?, and to celebrate, she is heading out on her first-ever UK and EU headline tour this March. Yes, this is big. Yes, this is deserved. Yes, your feelings are about to be activated.
The tour includes a Bristol stop at Exchange on March 24, followed by a London headline show at Camden Assembly on March 25, alongside dates in Sheffield, Glasgow, and Manchester.
A Deluxe EP Built on Longing (and Overthinking)
The deluxe edition of Would You Go Down On A Girl? adds two new tracks, ‘Me, Oh My‘ and ‘Silverlake Baby’, both of which Déyyess has already been road-testing live. They slide perfectly into the EP’s existing emotional universe of yearning, identity, and sapphic “does she like me or am I being delusional” panic. We’ve all been there, sis.
“These songs and the time in my life that they came from was all about love,” Déyyess explains. “Longing and yearning for a girl who had just come into my life, and suddenly she’s all I think about. Would You Go Down On A Girl is essentially a lyrical love letter.”
Relatable. Painful. Beautiful. We are seated.
From ‘Claire’ to Centre Stage
Since breaking out with viral queer-love confessional ‘Claire’, Déyyess has steadily become a go-to voice for WLW storytelling in pop. Her music captures the soft devastation of unrequited love alongside the thrill of being seen, all wrapped in glittering production and melodies that stick around longer than your last situationship.
She wrapped up 2024 supporting Alessi Rose on a massive UK and EU tour, including two sold-out nights at Kentish Town Forum, and now she’s stepping fully into the spotlight with a headline run of her own.
Queer Pop With Purpose
Growing up in Canterbury, Déyyess has been aware of her queer identity from a young age, crediting Lady Gaga’s visibility and allyship with helping her find the confidence to come out. Now, she wants to be that same source of reassurance and representation for others.
“I have fans in countries where it’s illegal to be gay,” she says. “I want to create a community for them.”
At a time when queer pop is having a very deserved moment, with artists like Chappell Roan, Renée Rapp, Kehlani, girl in red, Doechii, and 070 Shake shaping a sapphic renaissance, Déyyess feels right at home. The deluxe release of Would You Go Down On A Girl? only cements her place in that conversation.
Perth Festival is back from 6 February to 1 March 2026, and I am here with a public service announcement. You do not have to “push through” a festival to deserve it. You can plan for your brain, your body, your access needs, your gender euphoria, your sensory limits, and your safety, then still have an excellent night out.
This guide is built for queer and neurodivergent folks who want the highlights without the overwhelm. Expect clear info, good exit plans, and lots of free options.

Before You Pick an Event, Pick Your Capacity
This is the neurodivergent cheat code.
Low-Capacity Night You want flexible, outdoors, leave-anytime options. You want to move, not commit.
Medium-Capacity Night You can do crowds if there are breaks, clear start times, and somewhere to decompress.
High-Capacity Night You are ready for big sound and big vibes, and you have planned your recovery like a professional.
Keep that in mind as you scroll. It will save you money, energy, and one dramatic late-night “why did I agree to this” text.

Queer and Neurodivergent Festival Safety Tips
Because vibes are not a safety plan.
Pick a meeting point that is quiet and well-lit. Loud meeting points are a trap.
Bring a leaving script: “I’m at capacity, I’m heading off, I love you, text me.”
Plan transport early. Don’t leave it to the end of the night when your brain is melting.
If you are going solo, choose flexible events you can dip in and out of without pressure.
Do not apologise for taking breaks. You are not ruining the night. You are saving it.
Post-Festival Recovery Plan
Because the night can be perfect and your nervous system can still file a formal complaint the next day.
The First Hour After You Get Home
This is about reducing sensory input and giving your body a clear “we are safe now” signal.
Do one thing at a time: shoes off, face wash, comfy clothes. No multitasking.
Dim the lights. Reduce noise if you can, put on a familiar show or familiar music at low volume.
Hydrate and eat something gentle. Not “perfect nutrition”, just something that won’t make your body feel worse.
If you are spiralling socially, write down three facts.
You went out.
You did your best.
You are allowed to rest now.
The Next Morning (The Social Hangover Protocol)
If you wake up feeling emotionally sandpapered, that is not you being “dramatic”. That is your brain processing input.
Delay decisions. If you can, don’t schedule big tasks for the first two hours.
Do a sensory reset: Shower, sun, stretch, or a slow walk. Pick one.
Eat something predictable. Same breakfast, safe snack, whatever keeps you steady.
If you said something awkward, you are allowed to let it go. Most people are thinking about their own lives, not your one sentence.
If You Went With Friends or a Date
Queer and neurodivergent friendships are often built on honesty and care. Use that.
Send a simple message: “Got home safe. I had a good time. My brain is fried, I’m going to be quiet today.”
If you left early, you do not need to apologise. Your capacity is not a personal failure.
If You Masked the Whole Night
This is the part people forget. Masking can make a good night feel like a hangover.
Give yourself permission to be flat the next day.
Do one comfort activity that has zero productivity attached to it.
If you can, plan your next festival outing as a low-capacity night to rebalance.
Emergency “I Did Too Much” Rescue Kit
If you are shaky, teary, overstimulated, or feeling dread for no reason:
Water
Something salty
Something sweet
A dark room
A weighted blanket or heavy duvet
One person you trust, or one message you can copy and paste: “Hey, I’m safe, just overstimulated. Can you chat for a bit?”
Twinless starts with a premise that could’ve become Sundance filler in less careful hands. Two men meet in a twin bereavement support group, form an unlikely friendship, and stumble towards healing. Instead, writer-director James Sweeney turns that setup into something more jagged and personal. It’s funny in a way that catches in your throat, and it refuses to sand down the ugly bits of loneliness.
The basics. Roman (Dylan O’Brien) and Dennis (Sweeney) bond quickly as they search for an identity without their “other half”. They become inseparable until old wounds reopen and the friendship begins to show its cracks. Twinless hits UK and Irish cinemas on 6 February 2026.
Twinless is disarmingly funny, then quietly brutal, then funny again like it didn’t just hit you with that.
What Twinless Gets Right Is The Awkward Stuff
Sweeney understands that grief doesn’t arrive as a tidy little character arc. It shows up as bad decisions. It shows up as clinginess. It shows up in all the ways you don’t want it to, because there really is no right way to grieve.
Twinless lets its characters be embarrassing and complicated without treating them like a punchline. It’s not interested in inspirational speeches. It’s interested in the small, weird ways people try to survive themselves, then accidentally drag someone else into it.
Dylan O’Brien Is The Engine Here
Roman is written as someone who looks uncomplicated from the outside. Friendly. A bit dopey. Maybe a little dangerous if you push him. O’Brien plays all of that at once, and that’s the trick. He doesn’t chase the easy laugh, and he doesn’t soften Roman into something palatable. You can see the heartbreak bubbling under the surface even when Roman’s being charming.
It makes sense that this is the performance people keep circling. Twinless gives O’Brien room to be funny, bruised, and unpredictable in the same scene, and he never drops the emotional thread.
It’s Also A Film With A Proper Sense Of Craft
Twinless has a deliberate visual mood, and that matters because the story is constantly balancing comfort and menace.
One critic described the Portland setting as shot in “lovely chiaroscuro”, lulling and unsettling at the same time, and that’s a useful way to frame the film’s vibe without giving anything away. The score is by Jung Jae-il, and it leans into aching strings and wistful piano rather than telegraphing emotions like a neon sign.
A Queer Story That Trusts You To Keep Up
Twinless also avoids a trap that a lot of queer films fall into. It doesn’t stop to lecture. It doesn’t translate every piece of vernacular for the imagined straight audience. It trusts you to read the room and sit with discomfort. Use your brain. Use context clues. You’ll figure it out.
That trust makes the film feel more specific and more honest, even when it’s being outrageous.
Verdict
Twinless is the rare dark comedy that commits. It doesn’t use grief as a gimmick, and it doesn’t tidy its characters up for the sake of making them likable. It’s messy, funny, and sharp-edged, anchored by a memorable performance from Dylan O’Brien.
If you like your comedy neat and comforting, this won’t be your thing. If you like a film that makes you laugh and then immediately question why you laughed, put it on your list.
Twinless opens in UK and Irish cinemas on 6 February 2026.

Enter Shikari have announced a big ol’ 2026 touring year that covers three very different flavours of chaos. They’re returning to UK arena stages in November, taking some of their biggest-ever European headline shows, and then swinging back to Australia in May for a headline run with Grandson (opener still TBA).
There are some spicy milestones tucked in here, too. This includes their first-ever Glasgow arena show, their biggest Manchester show, and two nights at London’s Alexandra Palace. Over in Europe, they’ve flagged their first German headline arena show.
Also, a genuinely good thing. Every ticket sold for the UK shows includes a £1 donation to Music Venue Trust, supporting grassroots venues.

BALL x PIT has been a full-blown “just one more run” menace since launch, and now it’s getting its first major content drop. The Regal Update is free and available now, adding two new characters, eight new balls, and the big headline feature players have been yelling about since day one. Endless Mode.
Also, yes, the game recently hit one million copies sold, which is an absurdly fitting milestone for a roguelite that’s basically made of dopamine and bad decisions.
Two New Characters, Two New Ways To Cause Problems
The Regal Update adds The Falconer and The Carouser, and both sound like they were designed in a lab to ruin your self-control.
The Falconer fires two balls launched by birds flanking the screen, giving your attacks a wide, swooping spread. The Carouser comes with a personal gravity field that can tug ball trajectories off their usual path, turning your run into a physics experiment with consequences.
Eight New Balls, Including One That Hits Like A Truck
The update adds eight new balls overall, and a few are already doing the rounds as instant favourites.
Fireworks bursts outward in unpredictable patterns, scattering damage everywhere
Stone Ball hits hard on impact, then slowly crumbles as it keeps bouncing
Landslide triggers a cascading wave of debris from the first impact point and leaves lingering damage
If your current approach to BALL x PIT is “I wonder what happens if I fuse these two ridiculous things together,” this update is basically a catered event.
Endless Mode Is Here, And It’s As Dangerous As It Sounds
Endless Mode is now live as a post-game unlock. Once you finish the game, you can push each level beyond its limit, keep going after the boss, and descend deeper as long as you can stay alive and choose to continue.
This is either the best news you’ve had all week, or a direct threat to your sleep schedule. Possibly both.
Where To Get It
The Regal Update is out now on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and Switch 2.

Geralt of Rivia is returning on 25 February 2026 – but this time, your destiny hangs on a swipe.
Nerial and Devolver Digitalhave teamed up with CD PROJEKT REDto unveil Reigns: The Witcher, the latest mutation of the smash-hit swipe-’em-up series, set amidst the merciless, monster-strewn landscapes of The Witcher universe. Instead of a straight retelling of Geralt’s journey, the story is filtered through the gilded tongue of his oldest friend, Dandelion.
Swipe Your Destiny
If you’ve played Reigns, you know the deal. Swipe left or right to make decisions, then live with the consequences. Or don’t. In Reigns: The Witcher, those consequences carry weight across the Continent – from contracts and conspiracies to angry villagers and hotheaded sorceresses.
A casual swipe might win you renown among nobles, enrage a rabble of mages, or leave you knee-deep in drowners. As any good witcher knows, few requests are as simple as they first appear.
Familiar Faces, Slightly Exaggerated Disasters
Along the Path you’ll find the company of Yennefer, Triss, Vesemir, and a roster of other beloved allies and adversaries. But remember, when everything’s filtered through Dandelion’s quill, even the most mundane errand can become an audacious epic, or a slightly exaggerated disaster.
Songs, Swords, And Swipes
Players will weave Geralt’s legend through branching stories, bardic embellishments, and thousands of narrative combinations, with Dandelion conducting the chorus of fate.
Between verses, the White Wolf still gets plenty of work done. Combat minigames pit Geralt against ghouls, rotfiends, and other foes both real and (according to Dandelion) “curiously improvised”.
The Bard’s Encore
From taverns to far-flung villages, Reigns: The Witcher invites you to expand Dandelion’s ever-growing repertoire. Perform new “greatest hits” across the land, and shape the saga of the White Wolf.
Reigns: The Witcher will be available on 25 February 2026 on PC and mobile for €5.99 (regional pricing may vary).

It’s the Reigns swipe-choice formula set in The Witcher universe, with Dandelion narrating Geralt’s legend like it’s performance art.
Expect branching stories, familiar faces (Yennefer, Triss, Vesemir), and combat minigames between your terrible, terrible swipes.
Price is listed at €5.99 (regional pricing may vary).
Absolum has officially cracked 500,000 copies sold, and Dotemu is celebrating the only sensible way. By giving us more ways to get absolutely wrecked (affectionate). Dotemu (alongside co-developers Guard Crush Games and Supamonks) has announced Threads of Fate, a free content update landing on 12 February, bringing a brand-new game mode, nastier post-game zones, and a bunch of new rewards.
If you’ve been treating Absolum like your “one more run” comfort game (dangerous behaviour, no judgement), this update looks tailor-made to keep your hands glued to the controller.
Threads of Fate lands on 12 February
Dotemu’s calling Threads of Fate a generous free update, and honestly, the feature list makes a solid case.
Mystic Ordeal: The “You Asked for Pain” Mode
The headline addition is Mystic Ordeal, an all-new game mode built around dozens of modifiers. In plain English: It’s designed to remix your runs into tougher, stranger scenarios that contrast with the core adventure.
“Mystic Ordeal looks like the kind of mode that turns ‘I’m pretty good at this’ into ‘I have made several mistakes today.'”
If you’ve already rolled credits and your brain is still hungry for a bigger bite, Corrupted Regions add optional post-game threats and rewards. You’ll discover these corrupted areas while travelling through Absolum’s world, and if the name didn’t tip you off, they’re not there to be your friend.
More rewards, new mounts, and improvements
Threads of Fate also adds new rewards, new mount types, and a pile of improvements. Basically, more shiny stuff to chase, more ways to move around, and fewer reasons to yell at your screen for the wrong reasons.
Dotemu’s first original IP (how?!)
Dotemu has earned a strong reputation for classically inspired brawlers and sharply crafted adaptations, but Absolum is its first original franchise. The game was nominated for Best Independent Game at The Game Awards and has also picked up nominations from other award bodies and festivals.
What is Absolum?
If you’re new here: Absolum blends arcade-style melee combat with spells, counters, and upgradable abilities, wrapped in a fantasy adventure built for replayability. Expect branching paths, quests, characters to meet, and bosses that will absolutely humble you. Simply put, it’s a super fun game.
The overall vibe channels classic brawlers like Golden Axe and Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara, but with a modern, run-based structure where you’re unlocking items, quests, and permanent upgrades as you go.

Loreen is back with a new single. ‘Feels Like Heaven’ is out now via Polydor France, and it’s co-written by Sia, arriving as the latest taste of Loreen’s upcoming album Wildfire, due 27 March 2026.
If you’ve been clocking the “mother is coming” teasing across socials and the projections that popped up in London, Paris, and Berlin, this is the payoff. A new era with big feelings, big voice, and a rollout that knows exactly what it’s doing.
‘Feels Like Heaven’ is built on slow-burn tension that gradually opens out into something release-y and cathartic. Loreen’s delivery starts tight and controlled, then cracks wider as the track climbs. It’s that specific Loreen sweet spot: emotional intensity without going melodramatic, like she’s singing from inside the storm rather than reporting on it after. Full twister mode.
The hook leans into repetition on purpose (the “surrendering” refrain circles back like a thought you can’t shake), and the production keeps things glossy but not sterile. It’s pop with big ol’ chompers.
The writing room went off
Alongside Sia, the track is co-written/produced by Jesse Shatkin, with Calum Landau also on writing, and additional production from Myles Avery. It’s a lineup that makes sense for a Loreen single, because everyone involved specialises in turning big emotion into something you can play on repeat without it losing its punch.
Loreen’s own take on the song
Loreen describes ‘Feels Like Heaven’ as a song about surrender and the idea of “heaven” as an inner state you arrive at through safety, love, and letting go. It’s very her.
“Feels Like Heaven is about surrender… we suffer when we resist, and we heal when we surrender.”
‘Wildfire’ arrives in March, with ‘Tattoo’ on the tracklist
Wildfire lands 27 March 2026, and it’s positioned as a full-spectrum Loreen record: pain, desire, anger, release, all of it. The album will be available digitally and physically, including CD and three vinyl variants: Day, Dusk, and Midnight editions (availability varies by location).
The tracklist also includes ‘Tattoo’ and ‘Is It Love’, tying this new chapter back to her recent high points while still moving forward.

Loreen is also set to appear as a guest judge on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK on 27 January, which is extremely correct, honestly. If anyone belongs on that panel, giving cosmic pop-oracle energy, it’s her. Not a single crumb will survive.

Death Cab for Cutie have officially signed to ANTI- Records for future releases, and they’re rolling into this new chapter with a full North American summer tour announcement. Nearly 30 years deep and still making emotionally devastating indie rock for people who feel things too loud (hi), the band’s next era looks… extremely promising.
Alongside the label news, Death Cab’s summer run kicks off July 10 in Minneapolis, includes two nights at The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, and brings Japanese Breakfast, Nation of Language, and Jay Som along for select dates. Presale starts Wednesday, January 28, at 10 am local time, with general onsale Friday, January 30, at 10 am local time.
Death Cab x ANTI- Records:
Death Cab joining ANTI- feels like a clean, confident move: A band with a long legacy choosing a label known for artists who do their own thing, properly. They’re joining a roster that includes names like Tom Waits, Mavis Staples and Neko Case, alongside newer (but no less beloved) indie heavy-hitters.
Ben Gibbard put it plainly: They’re thrilled to be there, excited to work with the team, and they’ve been working on stuff they want to share soon. That “soon” is doing a cheeky little wink at new music, and we’re politely but intensely staring back.
The tour: Dates, supports, and the two-night Greek Theatre moment
The headlining tour begins July 10 and runs through August 7, with a festival appearance in Denver beforehand on May 29. Supports rotate by date, which is basically a gift if you’re the type who plans your year around who’s opening (again: hi).

Ticket Info: Presale and onsale (set your alarms)
Presale: Wednesday, January 28 — 10 am local time
General onsale: Friday, January 30 — 10 am local time
Early access sign-up: linked via the tour announcement (“sign up for early access to tickets”)
If you’re the kind of person who “just checks” at 10:07 am and then has to emotionally recover, please treat this as a loving intervention.
Quick context: Yes, they’ve earned the victory lap
This tour announcement lands right after a massive, sold-out run celebrating 20 years of ‘Transatlanticism’ (a sentence that made an entire generation sit down abruptly). They’re also coming off the acclaim for 2022’s ‘Asphalt Meadows’, which proved they’re still allergic to phoning it in.
And if you want the tidy little timeline moment: the band started out indie (Barsuk), went major (Atlantic), and now they’re circling back into indie-land with ANTI- — with the kind of confidence you only get after surviving decades of people projecting their entire emotional history onto your back catalogue.
Where to next?
The most important line in the whole announcement is the simplest: “Stay tuned for news on new music soon.” We are tuned. Our ears are moisturised. We are sitting respectfully in the waiting room.

Laneway Perth is close enough to taste, and I have two pieces of information for you:
It is going to be hot, loud, beautiful, and extremely A Lot (affectionate).
I am a lesbian, and seeing Chappell Roan in a 90-minute full set situation is going to do permanent damage to my nervous system in the best way.
This guide is built for the people who love festivals but also need a plan. The neurodivergent crowd. The anxious girlies. The queer crew. The “I will have fun but only if I know where the toilets are” faction. The “I need to sit down or I will simply evaporate” community.
Save it. Share it. Screenshot it. Print it. Use it to bully your group chat into arriving at a reasonable time.

Laneway can be a sensory theme park. Fun. Chaos. Noise. Bodies. Heat. Smells. Unpredictability. If your brain does the “this is fine” meme until it suddenly is not fine, this section is for you.
Pick your “non-negotiables” now
Choose 2 to 4 artists you refuse to miss, then build everything else around your energy, not your fantasy self.
Try:
One early must-see (before crowds peak)
One mid-afternoon anchor
One “I will ascend” moment (hello Chappell)
One buffer slot for food, water, toilet, and regulation
Give yourself permission to be a festival gremlin
You do not have to be at the rail. You do not have to be social. You do not have to “make the most of it” every minute. You can sit down. You can leave a set early. You can wear ear protection. You can eat the same safe food twice.
You are allowed to have a good time in a way that suits your nervous system.
Build a regulation kit
Earplugs (high-fidelity if you can)
Sunglasses
A hat
Sunscreen
Electrolytes (sealed, unopened, original packaging)
A small comfort item (ring, fidget, soft thing, whatever works)
A portable charger
A snack you know you will eat (if approved via accessibility request for medical needs)
Accessibility: What Laneway Perth offers
Laneway Perth has accessibility supports on-site, but it is still a loud, busy outdoor festival. Knowing what to expect helps you plan around the friction points.
Surfaces and Movement
The site includes grass, concrete, and gravel, with uneven surfaces and slopes in parts. Accessible viewing areas exist around stages for patrons using mobility devices.
Accessible Viewing Decks and Designated Viewing Areas
Laneway provides Accessible Viewing Decks and designated viewing areas for patrons with disability (including non-visible disability) and companions.
Important note: These areas are limited. If a deck reaches capacity, priority may be given to wheelchair and mobility-aid users and patrons who require access-supported viewing.
Also important: Viewing decks are not low-sensory spaces. They can still be crowded, loud, and visually intense.
Low Sensory and Chill-Out Spaces
There are Chill Out Space and Low Sensory Space options on-site. If you’re overwhelmed but not in need of medical assistance, these are the places to regulate.
Medical
Medical outposts will be signposted and shown on the patron map (and in the app).
Companion Cards
If you have an approved Companion Card, you can add an additional ticket during purchase through Ticketek. If you already purchased and did not request it, contact Ticketek directly.
Assistance Animals
Guide and support animals are welcome. You will need documentation confirming your animal is an accredited assistance animal.
Auslan
Auslan interpretation will not be available at Laneway 2026.
Accessibility Request Form
If you need support, specific entry needs, or to bring in required food for allergies or medical requirements, fill out the Accessibility Request Form via the event accessibility section.
Festival rules that will save your day
Start and Finish
Gates open at 1:00 pm. Event finishes 10:30 pm.
Pass-outs
There are no pass-outs. If you leave, you cannot re-enter. Plan your meds, food needs, and regulation breaks with that reality in mind.
Wet Weather
Laneway goes ahead rain, hail, or shine, unless the site is deemed unsafe by authorities.

Pro tip: If you have a safe food, plan when you will eat it. Hunger plus heat plus crowds equals a meltdown recipe your body did not consent to.
Getting there (Perth): Transport, walks, and why driving is a trap
Public transport is included
All Perth Laneway Festival tickets include Transperth services for three hours before, during, and three hours after the event until end of service.
You do not pay during these times. Just have your event ticket ready to show staff.

Taxi and Rideshare
Pick up/drop off zone is on Moore Drive (Westbound only), from the west of Joondalup Drive intersection. Approach from Grand Boulevard.

ACROD permit holders can pick up/drop off and park at the designated ACROD area at Arena Joondalup.
Use Waabiyn Way, approaching from Moore Drive (westbound only). Have your permit ready.
Safety, crowd care, and how to survive the pits without losing your soul
Laneway is committed to safety and has a zero-tolerance approach to behaviour that puts others at risk or makes them uncomfortable.
This includes:
Bullying
Fighting
Unwanted physical contact
Throwing items
Verbal abuse
Security, medical, and crowd care teams are on-site all day, especially in high-energy areas like mosh pits.
If you’re going into a busy crowd:
Pick a meeting point with your friends first
Decide what you do if someone gets overwhelmed (Leave set? Chill out space? Medical?)
Keep your phone charged
Drink water before you think you need it
Lost property: What happens if your brain drops your phone into another dimension
If you find something, take it to the Information Tent.
If you lose something, go to the Information Tent.
After the festival:
Only items of value are held (phones, wallets, bank cards, ID, car/house keys)
Fill out the Lost Property Form for anything not registered/collected
Items held at the Event Office until Tuesday, 17 February

You do not have to stay until 10:30 pm. If you’re cooked, you’re cooked. Your future self deserves you arriving home in one piece.
