Harry Styles, the singer and actor who became famous as part of UK boyband One Direction will release his fourth album in 2026.

It's called 'Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally' and will be released on 6 March.

There'll be 12 songs on the album but fans are yet to hear any of the music from the project.

The pop star had been teasing fans since December with cryptic clues.

A set of billboards bearing the message "we belong together" - a message from his last tour - have been appearing in cities across the world, including Manchester, with a link to a group chat called Harry Styles Headquarters.

BTS are back together after all seven members - Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V and Jungkook - completed their two-year South Korean military service in 2025.

They've announced that their new album will be released on 20 March, with two dates in London in July as part of a world tour.

The band haven't announced which venues they'll be playing at in England's capital, and say that more tour dates are to be announced soon.

Since BTS began performing in 2013, there's been lots of other K-Pop artists breaking through in the UK charts, including Blackpink.

They became the first Korean band to headline a UK festival in 2023, but 2026 could be their biggest year yet.

Their label, which is the company that releases their music, told the BBC that an album is "in the final stages of completion".

'Global girl group' Katseye, who blend K-Pop training with other types of music, are also expected to drop new music after a single made the UK Top 40 charts in January.

There'll be more from pop stars who used be in famous groups.

After Jade released her debut solo album last year, her Little Mix bandmate Leigh-Anne is bringing out her first album under her own name in February.

British singer songwriter Olivia Dean will be also be going on a sold-out UK tour from April to May, performing in Glasgow, London, and Manchester.

In the world of indie, Sam Fender has said that he'll be working on new music this year, though it's unclear if he'll be releasing it in 2026.

There are more rumours around superstar Beyonce, whose fans are expecting her to complete the Renaissance album series this year.

With Renaissance coming out in 2022, and Cowboy Carter dropping two years later in 2024, could Renaissance Act III be released another two years down the line in 2026?

As well as BTS, there are some huge artists touring the UK this year.

After starring in the Wicked films with Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande is coming back to the mic with the Eternal Sunshine world tour, where she'll perform 10 nights in London at The O2.

She's said that no new music will be coming before May, and it's unclear if the tour will have new songs or be a celebration of her career.
