Open your mind, get stuck in, and come meet your new favourite artist… As ever, this isn’t a list solely to dictate who will blow up and become megastars of tomorrow (although I have got my eye on a few), but to introduce you to new acts you might not have come across yet, hand-picked by our army of writers stationed across the globe. We hope that many of the musicians on this list will do more of the same in the coming months.
So although we might be heading for another uncertain period, there’s flashes of promise – emerging artists are cutting through the noise and making a name for themselves. Fan communities from around the world have rallied around newcomers and supported them by buying records, grabbing merch, watching their live streams and, for the lucky few, even caught them live in the flesh. But this past year has proven that rising artists can not just make inroads during uncertain times, but soar. Things will be totally different wherever you may be reading this from: many of you are yet able to see live music again. If trepidation was the prevailing emotion I felt when publishing last year’s edition of The NME 100, this year, I feel a huge amount of hope.
