Melanie C Announces World Tour And New Single “Undefeated Champion”

Published

on

Melanie C is stepping back onto the dancefloor with her latest single, “Undefeated Champion,” a punchy, feel-good track built on resilience and self-belief.

The song marks the third preview of her upcoming album Sweat, following earlier releases “What Could Possibly Go Wrong?” and the title track. Leaning into bright, club-ready production, “Undefeated Champion” keeps the energy high while delivering a clear message: get back up, every time.

Speaking about the track, Melanie C describes it as a reflection of pushing through tough moments and coming out stronger. It’s rooted in the idea of choosing courage over fear and finding joy even when things feel stacked against you. At its core, the song is about recognizing your own strength and maybe daring the universe to test it.

Sweat, her ninth studio album and the follow-up to her 2020 self-titled release, arrives May 1. The project pulls from her early love of rave culture and club music, blending that influence with the pop sound that made her a household name. Recorded across London, Stockholm, and Los Angeles, the album focuses on movement, connection, and letting loose. After years of reflection, she’s keeping things simple this time around: make music that feels good and gets people dancing.

To celebrate the release, Melanie C will host a series of smaller album launch shows across the UK through late April and May. From there, she’ll take things global with the newly announced Melanie C World Tour.

The tour kicks off in North America this September, before heading to the UK and Europe in October and continuing to Japan and Australia in November. One of the standout dates includes a London stop at O2 Academy Brixton on October 23, along with a Dublin show at 3Olympia Theatre on October 18.

Tickets for the newly announced shows go on sale March 20 at 10 a.m. local time, with some dates already available.

The release lands during a busy stretch for Melanie C. She’s recently performed at major events like Sydney’s New Year’s Eve celebrations and New York’s Jingle Ball, alongside TV appearances on The Kelly Clarkson Show and Good Morning America. She’s even had a few viral moments recently, popping up with rising global act KATSEYE and being featured in Apple Music’s “Music That Moves Me” series.

With Sweat on the way and a full tour lined up, Melanie C isn’t looking back—she’s aiming straight for the dancefloor.

Beabadoobee Announces Powerlines Tour in North America and Europe

Published

on

Beabadoobee

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.

Pre-order / pre-save Pylon

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.

Watch/Listen “Sun Has Set”

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.
