On 2 November 2025, at the iconic Roundhouse in Chalk Farm, London, I found myself immersed in a crowd of loyal Ant‑warriors and first-time converts, drawn by a one-night-only performance from Adam Ant on his UK “ANTMUSIC 2025” tour.
The audience was a striking mix of my generation and older, male and female fans in almost equal measure. It felt like stepping into a time capsule of the early 1980s post‑punk/new wave era — veterans of the dance-floor movement and younger fans sharing in the nostalgia.

Exhausted by the “red tape” that defines the boundaries of the creative industry, Nikita Dare has carved out a space beyond them. Her new festival, SISTALAND – set to debut November 11–12 – is imagined as something far more radical than another networking event. Dare describes it as a “coven-like” space where “passionate people can learn from each other in an ego-free manner,” a necessary step, she argues, towards dismantling the “one-upmanship” and “gatekeeping” that stifle genuine connection and collective growth.

The sun is setting far too early and arising far too late. If, like us, you’re not really a morning person, it can be difficult to detach yourself from the warm bedsheets and get ready for another day, but a good playlist can always be the antidote.

Its songs move effortlessly between intimacy and exuberance, offering listeners a glimpse into the personal landscapes of its creators.

With the rise of artists like CMAT and The Last Dinner Party, there’s a real yearning in the air for complex, femme singer-songwriters, especially those that have darker and deeper influences. We’re living in an era of lore-forwards music; in the sense that, artists are working harder than ever to integrate their music into their own creative universes, via short films, stage set pieces, accompanying choreography, and more. And though it may seem like a lot of hard work, Bristol-based artist Anna Colette makes it look seamless.
