Bose and NME Release C24 Mixtape Featuring: Teddy Swims, Laufey, Artemas, Royel Otis, Lola Young, Samara Cyn, and Tehya
Today, NME (nme.com) has partnered with Bose to release the latest installment in NME’s iconic C-Series mixtape. Later this month, a limited-edition NME C24 magazine, vinyl, and cassettes will be available.
Now in its second year, the NME C24 collaboration with Bose highlights the future of music with both established and emerging artists. Available to stream and download on all platforms now, this year’s edition features a full tracklist of previously unreleased exclusive new songs from some of the hottest artists in the world.

24-year-old Londoner Artemas contributes to NME C24 with his track “So Stunning,” which defies expectations and points to an ever-evolving future. The song is expansive, powered by crunching guitars and thunderous percussion, offset by his vulnerable falsetto.
“It’s introducing a part of my sound that I haven’t put out into the world,” Artemas tells NME, “but [which] I have been working on for a while: the big kind of glamorous synths. I’ve got a few songs that are like that, with the alt-rock outro where it hits you in the face out of nowhere.”
Artemas is also the latest subject of the new NME video series On Tape. He met with NME at Four Quarters, a Peckham arcade where he first hung out with friends and went on dates after moving to London, to capture a thrilling performance of “So Stunning.”
Earlier this month, NME launched the On Tape series with an exclusive video from breakthrough Georgia-born singer-songwriter Teddy Swims. In the video, Swims gets a tattoo in a London parlour and talks about his rise to stardom before performing his exclusive new song “Funeral.”
Written earlier this year during a chaotic Grammys week, “Funeral” was created in collaboration with Julian Bunetta, Jaten Diimsdale, Mikky Ekko, Jon Green, and Whitney Phillips. The song has garnered over 2 million streams on Spotify and landed on over 400 playlists in its first week. It offers an update on the healing journey chronicled in Swims‘ debut album, I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part One), which reached the top 20 in both the US and UK, and its Billboard Hot 100 chart-topping lead single “Lose Control.”
The full C24 mixtape features seven exclusive songs recorded by Teddy Swims, Artemas, Laufey, Royal Otis, Lola Young, and Samara Cyn. Tehya, chosen by the judges of C24’s new artist competition in association with social music creation platform BandLab, also features on the mixtape.
Bose x NME C24 Tracklist:
- Teddy Swims – Funeral
- Artemas – So Stunning
- Laufey – Where or When
- Royel Otis – Nack Nostalgia
- Lola Young – I Don’t Mind
- Tehya – Peach Pit

Bose x NME C24 is available to stream and download now on digital platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, and SoundCloud. The release coincides with a special C24 print edition of NME Magazine that explores the stories of the featured artists, the creative power of music fandom, and the evolving legacy of the C-Series. Additionally, a limited run of 150 hand-numbered C24 vinyl records and an ultra-limited run of C24 cassette tapes will be released.
Bose x NME C24 continues the series’ mission of showcasing the future of music with original and exclusive tracks from the most exciting and innovative artists. This essential compilation represents a pivotal moment in the new music landscape, giving an elevated platform to diverse new artists and connecting them with music fans worldwide, celebrating Bose and NME’s shared commitment to championing incredible new music.

Luke Combs Announces 12 New Stadium Shows for 2027 ‘My Kinda Saturday Night Tour’
Luke Combs is extending his My Kinda Saturday Night Tour into 2027, announcing 12 new stadium shows across the United States.
The new dates continue the tour that Combs launched in 2026, though fans can expect a different lineup of opening acts. Treaty Oak Revival, Avery Anna, Shenandoah and Wyatt McCubbin will join Combs at various stops throughout the 2027 run.
The tour takes its name from “My Kinda Saturday Night,” a song from Combs’ latest album, The Way I Am. The singer recently wrapped the 2026 leg with three sold-out performances at London’s Wembley Stadium.
For now, the 12 newly announced stadium concerts are the only dates listed on Combs’ official tour calendar. Tickets for all 12 shows go on sale August 21.
The announcement had been teased throughout the week, with several venues revealing details before Combs officially announced the dates on Thursday morning.
The limited schedule reflects a shift in how Combs is approaching life on the road. With three young children — ages four, nearly three and six months — the singer has spoken about putting more time aside for his family. The days of spending most of the week away from home may be becoming less common for the country star.
That does not mean Combs is stepping away from the stage. Every 2027 date announced so far is scheduled at a football stadium with a capacity of at least 60,000 people.
The strategy is similar to one adopted by several major country artists in recent years, including Morgan Wallen: fewer shows in much larger venues. Rather than spending months on the road playing arenas and smaller venues, Combs can reach a large audience with a limited number of performances.
For fans, that makes each stop a bigger event. For Combs, it offers a way to keep touring while spending more time at home with his family.
Tickets go on sale August 21.
Tour Dates for Luke Combs 2027 ‘My Kinda Saturday Night Tour’:
April 3 — Arlington, Texas @ AT&T Stadium
April 10 — Minneapolis, Minn. @ U.S. Bank Stadium
April 17 — Detroit, Mich. @ Ford Field
April 24 — Philadelphia, Pa. @ Lincoln Financial Field
May 1 — Foxborough, Mass. @ Gillette Stadium
May 8 — Pittsburgh, Pa. @ Acrisure Stadium
May 15 — Kansas City, Mo. @ Arrowhead Stadium
May 29 — Edmonton, Alb. Canada @ Commonwealth Stadium
June 5 — Vancouver, B.C. Canada @ BC Place
June 12 — Boise, Idaho @ Albertsons Stadium
June 19 — Denver, Colo. @ Empower Field at Mile High
June 26 — San Diego, Calif. @ Petco Park
