Twigs’ Recent Triumphs: New Album and Wembley Surprise

For longtime fans, this festival booking is perfectly timed. FKA Twigs recently announced her new album, EUSEXUA Afterglow, following her critically acclaimed 2025 release EUSEXUA, which captured listeners with its bold exploration of human emotion and sensuality.

The artist’s momentum doesn’t stop there—she surprised fans by joining K-pop giants BLACKPINK for their first-ever Wembley Stadium show, a dazzling crossover moment that showcased her versatile artistry. It’s clear that Twigs is in a vibrant creative flow, ready to deliver a show that blends her signature sound with electrifying stage presence.

The Family Connection: RAYE’s Sisters Take the Stage

Earlier this month, RAYE also revealed that her two sisters, Absolutely and Amma, will join the festival’s lineup. Absolutely, already a seasoned songwriter for big names like David Guetta and Anitta, will play her first UK & Ireland festival. Amma will make her live debut—how cool is that?

RAYE warmly shared, “My stupidly ridiculously talented sisters are playing. It’s Amma’s first time performing ever and Absolutely’s first UK & Ireland festival. I’m so proud of my sisters. Please come down to support them with love.”

Alongside them, indie rockers 54 Ultra, the London-based sister duo SISTRA, indie duo The Two Lips, and soulful artist Kianja will add diverse sounds to the festival’s rich tapestry.

FKA Twigs’ New Album EUSEXUA Afterglow and Musical Evolution

Twigs announced EUSEXUA Afterglow during the final show of her summer European tour at the Netherlands’ Lowlands Festival, hinting at the album’s deep, full-bodied emotional themes. She described it as “full and abundant,” with labor to commence shortly—a poetic way to announce new music that fans eagerly awaited.

Before this announcement, she released the high-tempo dance-pop single “Perfectly,” a track filled with the kind of irresistible energy that Twigs fans adore. Whether it will feature on the new album remains a tantalizing mystery.

Her previous album EUSEXUA was met with rave reviews, praised for its blend of music, movement, and spirituality. One glowing review noted:

“She brings her own assured sense of creativity and spirituality and combines it with her ability to materialise the intangible. As the album’s closing track says, ‘You’ve one life to live, do it freely’. What better note to leave it on?”
