MPH has an album out next Friday, then six festivals in seven days over New Year's

MPH is on more festival lineups this season than anyone else we track. Thirteen of them.

His album comes first. Here, Forever is out next Friday, November 20: 14 tracks, on Disorder and Capitol.

Then New Year's. Six festivals on six of the seven days from December 27 to January 2, across New Zealand and Australia.

What MPH sounds like

Warlord is the one the app pins to the top of the artist page, and it's on the new album. Hold On came out last year on MPH UK. Rush, with Cecelia, is from 132.00Fm, his first album, out on Night Bass in 2023.

The genre tags on the artist page are UK garage and tech house, and that's a fair map. Skippy two-step drums and a low end that wobbles, built big enough for a field at midnight.

Want the whole catalogue in one go? He posted a set from Los Angeles this year made only of his own productions.

How the records got here

More of his records have come out on Night Bass than anywhere else: 13 release credits there in our index, from 2021 to 2024. That includes both albums so far, 132.00Fm in 2023 and Refraction in 2024.

From 2025, Black Book Records. Raw came out there that June and Flex It, with Æ, this February. He's also on Reach For You, with Chris Lake and Kelly Lee Owens, from Chris Lake's 2025 album Chemistry.

This year has been one long run-up to the album. Five singles since April: Unconditional, Long Goodbye with Nathan Nicholson, Mirage with Skrillex, Warlord, and Skin To Skin with Megra. All five are on Here, Forever.

The count

Thirteen festival bills still to come, first on our Most Booked board for the season. Jackie Hollander is second with 12. KI/KI and NOVAH are level on 11.

Two of the 13 arrived this week, when Coachella's 2027 lineup came out with him on both weekends.

All-time, we hold 59 festival bookings for MPH, a UK act, going back to 2022. That's 346th of the 27,788 acts in that count.

The name you'll see next to MPH most is Oppidan, on seven of the 13 bills, five of them over New Year's. KI/KI is on six, including Beyond The Valley, both Wildlands and both weekends of Coachella.

Tickets

None of the six New Year's festivals are in our affiliate feed, so there are no ticket links here. Each event page in the app has the festival's own.

Every count here is ours, from the lineups and set times in our own catalog on 12 November 2026. Days and stages for Beyond The Valley and Rhythm and Alps are from the festivals' own lineup pages. Release details are from Apple Music and the labels' own channels. Labels mean release credits, matched to lineups by name. Previews and artwork are Apple Music's.

Electric State is free on the App Store, on Google Play, and at electricstate.app — the artist pages, the labels and the lineups this post is built from.
