Greetings from Neuphoria!

For you Country/Americana fans, the past two weeks have been eventful, with releases from Zach Bryan, Morgan Wallen, Megan Moroney, Dasha, Lainey Wilson, Lana Del Rey and others. Sorry that I couldn’t fit them all on this playlist.

The Killers also deserve a shoutout from Neuphoria.  After realizing during last week’s London show that many of the fans were distracted watching the England vs Netherlands Euro 2024 Football (soccer) semi-final on their phone, the Killers decided to pause the concert and show the match on the big concert screen. As the final whistle blew, declaring England the winners, the Killers launched into “Mr. Brightside” and the crowd erupted! FYI, 2003’s “Mr. Brightside” holds the record for being on the UK’s Top 100 singles chart for 416 weeks (and counting), is the 5th most streamed song ever, so this was particularly powerful.  Thanks to Neuphorian Jeff C for this story!
