Here at Soundcheck Recap, we’re concert girlies through and through. Nothing gets us buzzing like the lights going down, setting off a frenzy of missing bottle lids as the monitors flicker to life and our fave’s name flashes in that opening graphic we’ve practically memorized from some shaky livestream (4k version 🤝when we’re finally nestled into our bought seats—pfff, we’re totally fine with the grainy vibe!)
But if you’ve been keeping up with our other round-ups, you’ve probably noticed we’ve been sprinkling in festival hints, hoping you’d catch on. Well, here it is: we’re going to Bedazzle Town! From conventions to hilarious group chats spilling onto the stage and even Coachella, we’re diving into all the best ensembles and shows you absolutely can’t miss.
The Prat Pack Tour
The show harks back to the 1950s and ‘60s – the Rat Pack era of Sinatra and the gang. The four of us have been mates for over 40 years now and we have a combined age of around 250 years, so a quarter of a millennium. The only time we were on the same show was in 1993 for the Royal Variety Performance. I’ve been desperate to put something together like this for so long.
Bradley Walsh in a press release
Sure, the only tunes you’ll catch at this comedy gig might be the theme jingles from the comedian’s game shows (we’re humming The Chase already, Bradley Walsh). But let’s face it, this Prat Pack—as they cheekily call themselves—is far too iconic to skip. Joining Bradley are fellow mischief-makers Brian Conley, Shane Richie, and Joe Pasquale as they travel around Europe next April and March. With most shows down to low availability, you’d better grab tickets faster than these lads can deliver a punchline.

Coachella
Calling all fashionistas who can piece together a look from scrolling through TikTok’s style corner faster than Tyra Banks can judge it—Coachella’s 2025 lineup just dropped, and it’s giving obsession. From Lady Gaga serving her best ‘Poker Face’ to Green Day proving they’re forever timeless, and then throw in a bunch of your other faves like our Postie (yes, Post Malone, our King), XG repping as the only Japanese artist, forever slaying the music video scene Megan Thee Stallion, and Missy Elliott bringing the freaky vibes, this line-up is pure chef’s kiss. So… mind if we crash your tent? Snag your tickets here for April 11-13 and 18-20!

party girl
Is there a word more fitting to describe Charli xcx than party girl? We doubt it, especially when her lime-green album BRAT is dishing out pure ‘Club classics’—we just know DJs everywhere are ready to hit repeat. And for her one-day-only festival, she’s having her party crew join her in a music-bumping haze: 070 Shake, A. G. Cook, The Japanese House, and more. (Think of it as a peek into her playlist IRL.) So maybe it won’t be in a club, per se, but Victoria Park, London, will transform into a spicy green rave on June 14th, with barely a blade of grass visible under the crowd. Hit us with all the FOMO, yeah?

Big Valley Jamboree
Blake Shelton may no longer be spinning around on The Voice’s red throne, but that just means he’s got more time to bootscoot with us! He’s joining Bailey Zimmerman and Jason Aldean as headliners for Big Valley Jamboree, and Alberta is about to wrangle up one of the best country festivals of the year from July 31st to August 3rd. Get your tickets here!

Decade Days
Brace yourselves: it’s time for a major nostalgic TV flashback—and, yes, that means a return of all those banned early 2000s hairdos we’d love to forget. Decade Days is tuning us back to the shows we can’t get enough of, hosting none other than One Tree Hill’s resident poet-slash-Raven, Chad Michael Murray, aka the guy who always found time for a monologue—even in the most tragic moments. He might’ve been Lost back then, but now you can catch him in Yellowstone, Josh Holloway. Plus, so many more of our hunky faves. Happening across two days in January, the 24th to the 26th, Orlando, Florida, is going to get the best treat. And hey, if you’re feeling fancy, you can even splurge by snagging one of their VIP tickets, which gets you to the front of the starry line!

Which of these has you scrolling through your fave online store’s ‘festival getup’ section? We’re talking tassel skirts, thigh-high western boots, and other glittering goodies that’ll make you the star of the pit. Well, don’t keep those fab ideas to yourself—share them with us through our socials, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook, and happy almost festival season.
