It’s been a minute since Rachel Chinouriri last played a headline show in her home city, something she noted onstage at Shoreditch Town Hall on Wednesday night (June 3). “I realized I hadn’t done a London show, I think, in over a year. I was worried that maybe nobody would come tonight,” she admitted with a laugh, acknowledging her time away. “Thank you so much for being amazing, and reminding me that you guys are so special.”
Performing in the music program for 2026’s SXSW London, the show provided the British star a moment of reconnection with her Darlings — the name affectionately given to her fans — following two years of being booked and extremely busy. Chinouriri, however, is not a musician that is easily forgotten.
Following the release of 2024’s critically acclaimed debut What a Devastating Turn of Events, Chinouriri cemented her status as one of the U.K.’s standout young songwriters, placing her alongside musical peers like CMAT and Holly Humberstone. A stellar collection of emotive indie packed with smart hooks, the LP soared in a live setting, be that on her own headline tours across the U.K. and U.S., or during a run of high-profile support gigs with superstars including Florence + the Machine and Sabrina Carpenter. The Croydon-raised artist will continue her hot streak when she joins Gracie Abrams as a support act on her upcoming arena jaunt. New music on the horizon will only bolster her reputation.
But, for now, it was about renewing the 27-year-old’s connection with her fans, and her performance was both a triumphant return to performing in the capital and a showcase of the musical diversity and strength of SXSW’s music programming. These were the best moments from the show.
DJ AG took over Billboard’s THE STAGE at SXSW London on Wednesday (June 3) bringing his eclectic taste to the U.K. festival.
The London-based performer was accompanied by a number of musicians artists during his set which spanned genres across garage, hip-hop, r&b, pop and beyond.
AG (real name: Ashley Gordon) has found an ardent following in recent years for his guerilla DJ sets and big name guests. Over the years, Will Smith, Akon, AJ Tracey, Skepta, Ciara and more have appeared during his live sets which are regularly streamed live on AG’s growing social channels.
Hosted in Ely’s Yard in Shoreditch, east London, AG hosted a number of rising artists throughout the showcase. U.S. artist Cameron McCloud, who recently won NPR’s Tiny Desk Contest as a member for Cure for Paranoia, pulled up for a cameo, alongside head-turning performances from Australian act Tikara and London-based Iyamah.
U.S. group Infinity Song joined AG for a short spot ahead of their showcase event at the nearby Shoreditch Town Hall venue as part of the Mahogany Showcase. House Gospel Choir, who performed with Harry Styles at the 2026 BRIT Awards and his One Night Only show in Manchester, also made an appearance with an uplifting guest spot.
SXSW London is currently in the midst of its second edition, bringing together leading voices in music, film, culture, technology and business for a wide-ranging program of panels, performances and screenings.
THE STAGE is a fixture of SXSW in Austin, Texas, with 2026’s lineup including Billboard 200 chart-topper Don Toliver, Mau P and Junior H. At the inaugural 2025 SXSW London, Tems performed a sold-out show at London’s Troxy as part of THE STAGE.
Elsewhere performances at SXSW London 2026 include Rachel Chinouriri, Tiwa Savage, Shame, ODUMODUBLVCK and more.
Stu Mackenzie and Lucas Harwood of King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Julia Jacklin, and trials, lead the first wave of Artist In Conversation sessions at BIGSOUND 2026, one of the most popular daytime spots during Australia’s annual conference and showcase smorgasbord.
King Gizz, as they’re affectionately known in these parts, are BIGSOUND alum, having performed during the nighttime program back in 2013. The prolific group has gone on to own their lane in the psych-rock space, smashing out a remarkable 25 albums (including five in one year), launching a label (p(doom) Records) and standing out as one of Australia’s leading music exports.
Jacklin, too, has graced the BIGSOUND showcase stages. The indie alt-pop artist made her BIGSOUND debut in 2016, just ahead of the release of Don’t Let The Kids Win, the first of her three studio albums.
A two-time ARIA Award winner, Jacklin this week announced her first-ever global record deal with venerated indie label 4AD, and shared details of her 2026/27 tour that will see her perform throughout North America, the United Kingdom and Continental Europe.
Also confirmed for BIGSOUND’s Artist In Conversation lineup is Ngarrindjeri hip-hop producer, composer and innovator, a founding member of Funkoars and one half of A.B. ORIGINAL, his politically-charged project with Yorta Yorta artist Briggs (an Artist in Conversation participant at last year’s BIGSOUND) that won two ARIA Awards and the coveted Australian Music Prize for best Australian album of the year (with 2016’s Reclaim Australia).
Trials (real name: Daniel Rankine) recently supported Hilltop Hoods on their 10-date arena tour of Australia, and last month released his debut solo project hendle. Also, he has been throwing his support behind Full Stop Australia, one of the country’s leading sexual, domestic and family violence response and recovery services, with profits of his merchandise t-shirt sales from every show donated to the organization.
Previous Artist In Conversation guests have included Tony Watson (aka Tones And I), Kelis, Mallrat, Blur’s Dave Rowntree, and Amy Taylor of Amyl And The Sniffers.
This year’s 25th anniversary edition of BIGSOUND will play out in the vibrant entertainment district that is Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley, from Sept. 1-4.
International guests confirmed for BIGSOUND 2026 include reps from Partisan Records, Pitchfork, Bonnaroo, Soho House, MOM+POP, ROAM Artists, Reeperbahn, DMT Law Firm, Carpark Records, The Great Escape, True Panther and SXSW.
“BIGSOUND has always been a place where real connections happen, and this year we’re focused on creating even more opportunities for Australian and New Zealand artists and industry to connect with each other and the global market,” comments Kristy Ellis, interim CEO, QMusic, producers of BIGSOUND. “The program focuses on the conversations the industry is having right now — how the business is changing, how we stay ahead, and how Australian and New Zealand artists continue to grow on the global stage.”

Violet Grohl really is a chip off the old block. The newcomer with the famous surname made her TV debut Wednesday night (June 3) when she stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon with a full band.
Want rock? You’ve got it.
Looking cool, calm and dressed right for her late-night premiere in all-black, Grohl performed “Bug in the Cake,” lifted from the grungy rocker’s recently released debut studio album.
It’s been a bright couple months for Violet, who made her official Billboard chart arrival earlier this year as a teenager (aged 19), when “THUM” started at No. 38 on Adult Alternative Airplay. “THUM” marked her first appearance on a Billboard chart as a billed artist, though she did contribute backing vocals to Foo Fighters’ “Show Me How,” which hit No. 21 on Hot Hard Rock Songs in 2023.
Now aged 20, she’s just dropped the 11-track Be Sweet to Me, through Auroura Records/Republic Records, a record that also includes the previously-released “Applefish” and “595.”
Grohl is, of course, the oldest daughter of Dave Grohl, the singer, songwriter and force-of-nature rock star who has been inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame both with Nirvana (2014) and with Foo Fighters (2021).
According to a release, Be Sweet to Me was recorded from late 2024 into early 2025 at producer Justin Raisen’s Los Angeles home studio with a group of musicians assembled “in the spirit of the Wrecking Crew session players in the ’60s and ’70s,” whose work can be heard on classic recordings by the likes of Sonny & Cher, the Mamas and the Papas, Frank Sinatra and Harry Nilsson, among many others.
“Everything was written in the studio,” Grohl says of her new collection. “I would come in with an inspiration playlist, we would hang and listen for a little while, and then start writing.”
She’s supporting the project with a trans-Atlantic tour, which continues tonight (June 4) with a sold-out performance at New York’s Baby’s All Right.

Billboard is now live in India, the world’s most populous nation.
Launched in partnership with Other Side Ventures Pvt. Ltd. and headquartered in Mumbai, Billboard India is said to mark a new chapter in how Indian music is documented and celebrated worldwide.
The new title will be familiar to readers of the flagship Billboard, coupling a deep range of multimedia editorial content with charts, lists, music awards, and more, cut with a domestic flair to reflect the diversity of India’s vibrant music communities.
“India is already one of the world’s largest music markets by volume,” comments Priyanka Khimani, media advisor and driving force behind Other Side Ventures. “Our growth story isn’t from one city or one language. It’s from every corner of this country,”
Legendary composer Ilaiyaraaja is the first cover star of Billboard India. The homegrown screen music icon has composed for 1,500 film soundtracks, and this year celebrates his 50th year in music.
“There couldn’t have been a more superlative name to launch our first cover than Ilaiyaraaja,” adds Khimani. “His legacy, body of work and music superiority speaks for themself. It was our privilege to be able to capture him as he celebrates an important milestone in his career.”
A culturally rich nation, India, of course, is home to Bollywood, a film industry that creates stars who shine globally. Its 1.4 billion population is mostly young, and many are plugged into the country’s music and movie industries. Some 450 million Indians are under the age of 30, and, according to the IFPI, are increasingly captivated with the next generation of Indian music stars that are crossing over from the silver screen.
Experts predict a boom is on the way. Domestic creator collections roared to roughly US$75 million in 2024, according to data published by CISAC data, representing a 42% year-on-year increase. Separately, India now ranks as the world’s 15th largest recorded music market, the IFPI reports.
The new platform has no shortage of content to explore. Billboard India will capture the dominance of film soundtracks, through to the explosive rise of independent artists, a statement reads, and serve as the “definitive voice” of Indian artists across all languages, including Hindi, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, and more.
Its leadership team is helmed by Preeti Nayyar, who is appointed chief operating officer, and Mohini Chaudhuri as content strategy director. Other key appointments include, Amruta Ramesh (creative director), and Vidya Sivalenka (charts lead).
“At Billboard, we are committed to celebrating any music ecosystem that includes artists, executives, trends, achievements and stories shaping today’s global music landscape,” notes Mike Van, CEO of Billboard. “Billboard India marks an exciting step in that mission, as the Indian music industry and its global diaspora continue to command growing attention and influence worldwide. With a market as culturally rich and diverse as India, this launch reflects both the scale of the opportunity and the strength of the Billboard India team, whose depth and editorial ambition set a powerful foundation for what’s ahead.”
Billboard India is headquartered in Mumbai and is now live at billboardindia.com and across social platforms.
