TV Smith isn’t slowing down. With a new album taking shape between gigs, a 2026 tour packed with solo shows and Adverts classics, and a stop at London’s legendary 100 Club, the punk poet is still putting in the miles and still giving us plenty to say about.

Peter Hook & The Light are taking Get Ready back on the road in 2026, performing the New Order album in full alongside essential Joy Division and New Order tracks. But if you think this is just another nostalgia tour, think again! The Light has turned this catalog into something far more intense: a full-body, emotional, borderline spiritual experience. Those unmistakable Hooky basslines, the darkness of Joy Division, and the sheer force of the band live have a way of converting even the skeptics.

Forget the merch lines, VIP fences, and carefully constructed backstage mystique. Punk Rock Holiday is people. camping, swimming, drinking, floating down the river, discovering bands, all in one ridiculously beautiful corner of Slovenia. The only problem? Nobody knows yet if 2027 will happen—and everyone is already holding their breath.

Exclusive coverage of Adam Ant at Rebellion Festival…sort of. The cameras apparently did not make it. Instead, In Spite received six felt-tip marker drawings on lined notebook paper from the mysterious "artist" named Ricardo Jeffrey’.

A 17-year San Francisco punk institution, Thee Parkside, is shutting down, another casualty of gentrification dressed up as “progress.” Of course, it’s more than a venue loss: it’s the erasure of a living, breathing community hub where music, misfits, and chosen family thrived. Unchecked development isn’t just displacing people, it’s hollowing out the soul of the city. The final nights at Parkside double as both a celebration and a protest, capturing a scene that refuses to go quietly, even as it’s priced out of existence.
