Gryffin takes over Camden’s iconic Roundhouse on May 29th. Gryffin has carved a distinct lane in electronic music, merging emotive songwriting with expansive, club focused production. A classically trained pianist and guitarist, he emerged with a run of breakout singles, including “Heading Home” and “Feel Good,” before releasing his debut album Gravity, which debuted at No.1 on Billboard’s Dance Electronic Albums chart and cemented his place as one of the genre’s defining crossover artists. Across the past decade, Gryffin has built a catalogue that bridges electronic and pop with precision and scale. Collaborations with artists including OneRepublic, MØ, Calum Scott and Carly Rae Jepsen have delivered platinum selling records and billions of streams worldwide. Equally at home on festival main stages and in intimate venues, Gryffin’s headline shows blend musicianship and electronic intensity, moving between piano, guitar and commanding DJ moments.

Having already placed his indelible mark on the future direction of rock with Hüsker Dü, Bob Mould teamed with bassist David Barbe and drummer Malcolm Travis to found Sugar in late 1991, making their live debut early the next year at Athens, GA’s famed 40 Watt Club. Named by NME as its 1992 “Album of the Year,” Sugar’s now-classic debut album, Copper Blue, immediately proved a sensation, earning worldwide acclaim and landmark status for the melodic strength and intensely cathartic popcraft of songs like “A Good Idea,” “Helpless,” and the alternative rock radio hit and MTV favorite, “If I Can’t Change Your Mind.” The trio quickly found themselves performing on increasingly larger stages, including a legendary show-stealing set at London’s Great X-pectations Festival in Finsbury Park. With the wind at their back, Sugar unleashed Beaster in 1993, making a momentous debut at #3 on the UK’s Official Albums Chart as well as at #4 on Billboard’s “Heatseekers” chart in the US. Though recorded during the same sessions that yielded Copper Blue, the six-song mini-album evinced a more visceral energy and dark melancholy than its predecessor, highlighted by such pulverizing expressions of sacrilegious fury as “Judas Cradle” and “JC Auto.” 1994’s second full-length LP, File Under: Easy Listening once again made an explosive arrival among the top 10 on the UK Official Albums Chart, this time landing in the upper reaches of the overall Billboard 200. The album saw Sugar pushing boundaries yet again on songs like the country-flavored “Believe What You’re Saying” and the incendiary “Gee Angel,” tackling a wider range of musical approaches without sacrificing their signature intensity and unrestrained power. Despite their successes, Sugar called it a day following a Japanese tour in early 1995. A series of live recordings, reissues, and anthologies served to magnify the band’s legacy over the three decades since, confirming Sugar as incontrovertible masters of high-volume guitar-fueled rock for the ages. The original members of Sugar reconvened in June 2025. The first new song in over three decades, “House Of Dead Memories”, was released on October 15, 2025, with live shows to follow in 2026.

To mark Earth Day, our second-year BA Photography students present photography and moving image exhibition, exploring their relationships with the planet, politics, communities of belonging, and cultural values in our post-humanist world. Following the course's move to Holloway Rd, the exhibition is also a practice in homemaking, as we start to establish our roots at the Holloway campus, the neighbourhood, as well as opening new ways of continuing our collaborative relationships with the library and friendships with other the courses across the School of Art, Architecture and Design community. The show is curated across London Met Holloway Road Library ground floor, study, and relaxation areas. RHIZOMES becomes an ecotone, an environment where art, knowledge, and imagination co-inhabit, where, as visitors we become something more than an audience.
