We’re less than a month into 2019, but the year is already shaping up to be one for the ages in terms of simply huge new albums. Already this year, we’ve had concrete information on new records from Foals, Vampire Weekend and Lana Del Rey, while a whole bunch of other albums from some of the world’s biggest artists are touted for release before the year is out.

Foals are set to give us the second part of their ‘Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost’ album in Autumn (with the first part arriving on 8th March), while The 1975 are set to complete their ‘Music For Cars’ era with ‘Notes On A Conditional Form’.

With new records also expected from Sky Ferreira, The Raconteurs, Tame Impala, Grimes and - if she sticks to her New Year’s Resolution - Charli XCX, 2019 could be a simply massive year for new records.

To help you get sufficiently excited for what’s ahead in the next 11-and-a-bit months, we’ve done some digging and unearthed all you need to know about when, where and in what form your faves are set to return this year.
