When rivers meet

From July to October 2026, When Rivers Meet return to the stage with the Rhythm Rust & Static Tour, following the release of their brand-new studio album Rhythm Rust & Static, out in spring 2026. Recorded with an intentionally stripped-back, analogue-inspired approach, Rhythm Rust & Static captures the raw essence of When Rivers Meet, intimate, gritty, and emotionally charged. The tour reflects that same spirit: a smaller, more focused on-stage setup, delivering a huge, immersive sound that puts songwriting, feel, and connection at the heart of the show. Audiences can expect to hear all ten tracks from the new album performed live, alongside a carefully chosen selection of favourites from the When Rivers Meet back catalogue. Across this 14-date UK tour, each night promises a powerful, close-quarters experience. On stage, When Rivers Meet remain exactly what they have always been: Grace & Aaron Bond. They are joined by long-time collaborator James Fox, adding depth and texture through percussion, guitar, and backing vocals. With three musicians on stage, the sound is expansive and full-bodied. Fresh from a run of remarkable chart success including a Top 10 Official UK Albums Chart entry with Aces Are High and a #4 Official UK Albums Chart with Addicted To You, alongside multiple Official UK #1 positions across genre and format charts, When Rivers Meet continue to prove that independence and ambition can go hand in hand.

The Felice Brothers

The Felice Brothers unveil Valley of Abandoned Songs, a deeply personal, beautifully unvarnished collection drawn from lost demos and sessions for Undress (2019) and Asylum On The Hill (2023), recorded live in an 1870s church. The album walks a tightrope between wonder and impending doom, tracing misfits, drifters, and dreamers through themes of mortality, love, and faith. Rooted in Hudson Valley folk tradition yet fearless in scope, it captures the band’s raw intimacy, literary depth, and enduring search for meaning.

A CELEBRATION OF NIRVANA: 35 years of Nevermind

The Boileroom presents a celebration of Nirvana: 35 Years of Never Mind, performed by Nirvanah. Seattle’s own Nirvana remains one of the most influential rock bands of the late 20th century, spearheading the grunge movement that redefined popular music. Fronted by Kurt Cobain, alongside Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl, the trio blended raw emotion with punk urgency and melodic hooks. Their 1991 album Nevermind catapulted them from underground heroes to global icons, fueled by the breakout single “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” The band’s meteoric rise and Cobain’s tragic death in 1994 cemented their legacy as cultural touchstones. In 2026, Nevermind will mark its 35th anniversary, a testament to its enduring power and generational impact.
