World News are a London-based indie rock group carving out a distinct soundscape within the British live music scene. With a dynamic setlist that includes tracks such as “Back to Hong Kong”, “Mindsnap”, and “Everything Is Coming up Roses”, World News have rapidly become a name to watch among discerning fans of contemporary indie. Their upcoming single, “Everything Is Coming up Roses”, is set for release in September 2025, marking the latest entry in a catalogue that also features the recent EPs “Mindsnap” and “Escape”.
