Remember those boy vs. girl tug-of-wars? If this week’s Soundcheck Recap were one, no one’s hitting the mud — both sides are pulling their weight. And really, why pick a side when more concert tickets just means more chaos to love? From ex-girl group powerhouses to boys still happily harmonizing in their quartet, let’s dive into who’s dishing out live-show joy this week.
JADE
There aren’t enough caps lock rants in the world to capture how feral we are over JADE right now. Our ex-Little Mix queen, freshly crowned BRIT Award Best Pop Act (as she should), just dropped the news: her debut solo album — THAT’S SHOWBIZ, BABY! — is landing on September 12th. Yes, she’s coming to pluck celestial stars from the sky like it’s no big deal.
But wait — she’s also hitting the road across Europe! Kicking off in Dublin on October 8th and closing it all out at London’s Roundhouse on the 19th, JADE is booked and busy across nine glorious dates. And guess what? So are you. UK fans (and those ready to hop a flight like it’s nothing), here’s your game plan: pre-order any format from JADE’s UK store before May 20th at 5 p.m. to unlock pre-sale access on the 21st. General sale goes live on the 23rd — just in case your goldfish memory tries it. Now go, be swift. The pop universe waits for no one.

Mumford & Sons And Friends
Climb aboard before the train choos — no, seriously. Mumford & Sons are still romantically obsessed with trains, and honestly? Now we are, too, thanks to their Railroad Revival Tour. And get this: they’re kicking things off where it all steamed up back in 2011 — New Orleans’ Woldenberg Park. From there, it’s all aboard the most stylish ride of the summer, leaving the tour bus in the dust. They’ll be tram-hopping from Spartanburg, SC’s Piedmont Fairgrounds (August 4), to Richmond, VA’s Allianz Amphitheater (August 5), and then onto Burlington, VT’s Champlain Valley Exposition Center (August 7). General tickets go on sale this Friday at 10 a.m. local time — pack your bags, polish your boots, and prepare for some scenic banjo magic.
We felt we had some unfinished business on the great American railroad. So, we’ve spent a lot of time cooking up this idea for another rolling festival to rip through the south and east of the U.S., picking up exactly where we left off in New Orleans and ending in Vermont. The spirit of what we do, at its core, is always about people and collaboration. So, every show will be a collaborative performance from a bunch of our favourite people on the planet, and every show will be different. This will, without doubt, be the coolest house band we’ll ever get to play in.

Olivia Dean
From watching her leave a Sabrina Carpenter lipstick kiss on tour (as the opener, naturally) to now launching her very own headline run, Olivia Dean is officially that girl. Her Across The Atlantic tour is here, and honestly? We’d swim the ocean for her. Her last headline tour sold out in 24 hours, so consider this your cosmic heads-up. General sale is live right now, so scroll down, pick a date, and may the ticket gods be ever in your favor. We’re sending all the good vibes your way.

X Ambassadors
X always marks the spot — and this time, it’s not just in X Ambassadors’ name, it’s the target of our concert-ticketing mission. The band just announced their VHS(X) North American headline tour, throwing confetti (and maybe a few emotional bangers) to celebrate 10 whole years of VHS. VIP packages and more ticket info are just a click away — and not to cause a full panic, but hometown shows are already on sale, with general tickets dropping this Friday. Consider this your official heads-up.
