Beabadoobee Announces Powerlines Tour in North America and Europe
beabadoobee today announces her hugely anticipated new album Pylon, available to pre-order and pre-save now, and due for release on 18 September 2026 via Dirty Hit and Interscope Records.
The follow up to her UK number 1 album This Is How Tomorrow Moves, the stark and striking fourth album by beabadoobee is named for the electricity towers that dot every major artery in the world—the strong, spindly structures that reminded Beatrice Laus of her connection to friends and family at home while she was staring down extreme disconnection and isolation on tour over the past few years.
The title can also be read as an allusion to Laus’ spiky, forceful new sound—the waves of distortion that crash and shatter across this record’s 14 songs mirroring the intense crackle you hear when walking under power lines. The pylon is also a fitting symbol for an album that reckons with the repetitive anxieties of your mid-twenties: What if I’m always going to be this way? What if life is just pylon after pylon on the road?
The album’s first single is available to stream and buy from today: “Sun Has Set” introduces Pylon as, in essence, a set of songs that began as diary entries, words that Laus thought she’d never be able to say out loud. “A lot of the songs on this record are things I wish I could have said to someone,” she says. “This song has this petty tunnel vision—it’s like, I hate you. You’re gonna stay here and listen to how much I hate you. Because I never got to say that.” The single comes accompanied by a striking first person video directed by Bea’s partner and longtime visual collaborator Jake Erland.
Ever a devotee of pure rock music—both as something to be cherished and something to be played with—Laus casts these feelings in songs that touch on classic grunge, midwest emo and ‘90s radio rock, zeroing in on a sound that is both harsher and more direct than any of her previous records. She says the music she’s loved has “always been an influence” on her music, and so for B4 she went straight to the source. A fair few of Beabadoobee’s composite influences contributed to Pylon, a fact that speaks to the goodwill and respect Laus has amassed over the course of her relatively brief career.
Hayley Williams sings on “Nothing to Prove,” a deeply anthemic indie-rock song about getting your power back from fairweather friends who just want a bit of your success. The moody “Powerlines” features a verse from Turnstile singer Brendan Yates, a master of matching vocal force with emotional nuance. Elsewhere, you’ll find contributions from Pinegrove’s Evan Stephens Hall, Deftones’ Chino Moreno, and Title Fight’s Shane Moran, as well as, on “Write Me A Letter”, production work from Laus’ longtime friends and collaborators Matty Healy and George Daniel of The 1975.
Beabadoobee will debut songs from the record on the Powerlines Tour, her first ever arena shows and biggest tour to date, taking in shows across North America, the UK and Europe this autumn-winter. The Powerlines Tour kicks off 1 October and includes stops at Madison Square Garden, The Kia Forum, The O2 and more (full routing below). Support comes from Wisp in the US, Canada and UK and Violet Grohl in France, The Netherlands, Belgium and Germany.

Oasis Announce Oasis Live ’27
Oasis have today ended months of feverish speculation with the announcement that they will return to the live stage in 2027. Oasis Live ‘27 will see the band play 38 live shows, visiting Scotland, England, Germany, Spain, Netherlands, France, Italy, US and Ireland. With the exception of homecoming shows in Manchester, the tour will see the band perform in a completely new set of locations from the Oasis Live ‘25 tour. Special guest at all shows will be Richard Ashcroft.
Oasis said:
“START THE CELEBRATIONS!!!!
After a period of reflection “The Most Damaging Pop Cultural Force In Recent British History” has declared itself fit for purpose and will once again return to lift the spirits of the people.
Come witness the fitness.
It shall be a sight to behold.”

When Oasis announced their return in August 2024, the news dominated conversations across the globe. The now iconic photograph of Noel and Liam Gallagher, standing shoulder to shoulder for the first time in over 15 years, adorned every news channel, social media feed, newspaper front page and broadcast outlet, carried by a tidal wave of excitement from fans who never thought they would see this moment come to be. The Oasis Live ‘25 tour became a global cultural phenomenon overnight. During their time away from the stage, new generations around the world had continued to discover the band’s music. Fans’ love forOasis only deepened and grew. Expectation reached unprecedented levels, yet no one could have foreseen the euphoria and outpouring of emotion that Oasis’ return created. The narrative changed. Joy, unity and togetherness remain.Impulsive moments of celebration, led by the fans, have become folkloric. More than 10 million fans from 158 countries queued to buy tickets. An estimated £1billion was generated for the UK economy. What Oasis achieved during 2025 was undeniable, the only question remaining was what lay in store next.
A “pause fora period of reflection” followed. Whilst 10 months have elapsed since theOasis Live ‘25 tour finale in Sao Paulo in November 2025, Oasis’ seismic comeback continues to be felt globally. ‘Wonderwall’ was adopted by the football fans as the unofficial national anthem during England’s 2026 World Cup campaign. In July 2026, (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? overtook TheBeatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band to become the UK’s best-selling studio album of all time. And on the big screen, Oasis: Don’tLook Back In Anger, the landmark film from Steven Knight, directed by DylanSouthern and Will Lovelace received its world premiere at the VeniceInternational Film Festival to huge critical acclaim and a deep emotional reaction from the fans.
