Hello! I hope everyone had a great New Year and is excited about what the next 12 months have in store for us all. For my first post of 2019, I thought I’d talk about what I’m most excited for in the music world this year.
To kick the new year off, one of my favourite bands Bombay Bicycle Club announced their reunion. In a statement they mentioned that they have some shows lined up for this year and are aiming to put new music out soon. I’m super excited and have a sneaky feeling they’ll be on the bill for this year’s TRNSMT festival.
Speaking of TRNSMT, the organisers are being awfully shy about announcing the 2019 line up, although I think they might have something cool planned. They’re definitely still trying to win over loyal T in the Park fans. I predict Calvin Harris as a headliner. TRNSMT could do with a little genre diversity and Calvin is mega popular so would really hype the festival up.
There are loads of great tours coming up too, including Foals’ long awaited return and Ariana Grande in the Hydro in September. I just saw the 1975 in the Hydro and it was amazing. Summer Sessions have a great lineup this year too! Check it out if you haven’t already, they’ve got The Cure, Foo Fighters and the 1975 headlining in Glasgow. 
Most importantly, though, there loads of amazing artists set to release new music this year. Pop princess Ariana Grande has the sweetner followup due to drop in February. There are a few double albums coming out from the likes of Weezer and Julia Michaels, who already dropped the first halves this week, and Foals who are set to release in March. Vampire Weekend and Bombay Bicycle Club are both putting out new material for the first time in years and Sigrid is dropping her first album in March!
2019 is shaping up to be great already and it’s an understatement to say I’m excited.
Love always, Fiona xx
