Private Notes
Jools welcomes award-winning, festival-headlining, chart-topping Manchester band The 1975, who make their debut on the show performing a couple of tracks from their upcoming fifth album Being Funny in a Foreign Language, which sees them build on their witty lyricism and infectious synth-pop sound.
Jools welcomes Nigerian global mega-star Burna Boy, who is making his debut on the show with a couple of tracks from his recent sixth album Love Damini, including his huge summer anthem Last Last.
Jools welcomes south Londoner Raye, who is best known for featuring on many dancefloor hits but who now steps forward in her own right with a couple of numbers from her debut record. She also chats to Jools about her musical influences, including Joan Armatrading, who she chooses from the Later... archive.
Jools welcomes the return of two iconic British bands. The first are Suede, who perform two songs from their ninth studio album Autofiction, which frontman Brett Anderson describes as 'a primal howl of a record'. Brett also chats to Jools and reminisces over their first performance on the show in 1993.
Three of the five artists on the show are making their debut. The first are Scottish legends Simple Minds, who perform a couple of tracks from their 18th studio album Direction of the Heart while also chatting to Jools and choosing a Glen Campbell performance from the Later... archives.
Jools presents a special episode of the show dedicated to one of the biggest bands in the world, Arctic Monkeys.
Following the release of their highly anticipated seventh album, The Car, the Sheffield four-piece join Jools for an intimate performance of new songs, such as There'd Better Be a Mirrorball and Bodypaint, as well as old favourites from their extensive repertoire, including their 2007 track 505, which had an online viral revival in 2022.
