She also attracted a huge crowd as she played a surprise secret set at TRNSMT and played a select run of intimate record store shows in support of the new album.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Her show at Southampton Summer Sessions in 2026 will form part of a broader headline tour, including two homecoming headline shows in Glasgow which will see her amass a combined audience of 28,000.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Support on the night will come from English rock band The Coral, one of the most consistently enjoyable and unpredictable bands of their era. With a rambunctious sound that deftly mixes elements of \u201860s garage rock, psychedelic pop and folk-rock, spliced with bits of Merseybeat, Motown, vintage blues and even sea shanties, The Coral topped the UK charts with their 2002 self-titled debut album.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  <img   width=\"100%\"\/>A previous Southampton Summer Sessions (Image: Southampton Summer Sessions)\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Hailing from Hoylake, a town on the Wirral Peninsula, the band was formed in 1996 by school friends: vocalist\/guitarist James Skelly, guitarist Bill Ryder-Jones, drummer Ian Skelly and bassist Paul Duffy. Their sound has continued to evolve over the course of their multi-faceted career, with time doing nothing to dim their desire to explore new sonic avenues. 2021\u2019s Coral Island was a double-length concept album devoted to memories of English seaside resort towns and 2023 saw them release country-rock with strings offering Sea of Mirrors.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  In keeping with the night\u2019s jangling alternative-rock theme, Nathan Evans &amp; The Saint PHNX Band will open the evening\u2019s entertainment.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Tickets for appearances by Alex James\u2019 Britpop Classical, Billy Ocean, Pete Tong Ibiza Classics, Paul Weller, Skunk Anansie &amp; Garbage, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark and Deacon Blue are already on sale with Paul Weller close to a sell out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hot on the heels of an announcement that The Beach Boys will also appear, organisers have announced that&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":273119,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[96,128,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-273118","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-music","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/273118","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=273118"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/273118\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/273119"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=273118"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=273118"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=273118"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
