Robbie Williams will return to Australia and New Zealand this November with his Britpop Tour, revealing a multi-artist line-up led by G Flip, Drax Project and Lottery Winners

Robbie Williams is bringing his BRITPOP World Tour to Australia and New Zealand this November, delivering a series of landmark shows across cities old and new.

As 2026 approaches, the global music landscape is gearing up for a wave of major album releases spanning rock, pop, metal, indie and beyond. From long‑anticipated studio efforts by established acts, to fresh explorations from rising stars, the first half of the year promises some of the most eclectic offerings in recent memory. Here's a comprehensive look at the key releases set from January through April.

Bon Jovi have unveiled We Made It Look Easy, a powerhouse new duet featuring British pop icon Robbie Williams, ahead of the release of Forever (Legendary Edition), a reimagined, star-studded edition of their 2024 album Forever, due 24 October.

British pop superstar Robbie Williams has had his long-planned Istanbul concert cancelled just days before it was due to take place, after Turkish authorities pulled the plug citing “public safety concerns” following intense protests and social media campaigns accusing the singer of being “Zionist.”

Bon Jovi will return in October with one of the most ambitious albums of their four-decade career. Forever (Legendary Edition), set for release on 24 October 2025, takes the foundation of 2024’s Forever and transforms it into a collaborative powerhouse featuring an extraordinary guest list. Today, fans get their first taste with two new songs and videos: Hollow Man, a long-awaited duet with Bruce Springsteen, and Red, White and Jersey, a rousing anthem of New Jersey pride.

Bon Jovi will return this October with a brand-new collaboration record, Forever (Legendary Edition), set for release on October 24, 2025. The 14-track album finds Jon Bon Jovi and the band reimagining the spirit of their 2024 record Forever with the help of an all-star guest list. The project arrives after Jon Bon Jovi’s vocal cord surgery, a setback that forced him to step away from touring while still creatively hungry to share music.
