Richard Ashcroft Kicks Off 2026 Tour With The Hits

Richard Ashcroft Kicks Off 2026 Tour With The Hits

Richard Ashcroft did what many casual fans often wish happened at shows: for the act to play one or two of the new songs, preferably back-to-back so they can get a new beer, and then play all the familiar songs for the rest of the night.

Pretty much the opposite of what Justin Bieber did the other night at The Roxy.

The 54-year-old former Verve frontman kicked off his 2026 tour last Tuesday (3/24) and followed it up on last Thursday (3/26) with just three performances of material from his latest LP, Lovin’ You.

Either he isn’t really lovin the album that dropped or he thinks the best way to love his audience is to do as The Kinks advised, give the people what they want.

A Banger Was Released Every Day In November

November gets plenty of credit for turkey, football and the annual rush to buy a slightly larger television. The record stores deserve a little attention, too. From Nirvana unplugging to Wu-Tang kicking the door in, this month has delivered an impressive pile of albums and plenty of ways to drown out Thanksgiving arguments. Here’s one for every day.

Jump to November: 1 · 2 · 3 · 4 · 5 · 6 · 7 · 8 · 9 · 10 · 11 · 12 · 13 · 14 · 15 · 16 · 17 · 18 · 19 · 20 · 21 · 22 · 23 · 24 · 25 · 26 · 27 · 28 · 29 · 30
