And just like that, spring is upon us: daffodils sprout, forget-me-nots remember, festivals beckon, would-be songs of the summer shake their fledgling tail-feathers, and the distant hum of a Rihanna album mingles with the birdsong. As marquee acts line up for their first major tours since before the pandemic, the release schedule has filled apace, with overdue comebacks (Everything But the Girl, Feist), long-teased debuts (Boygenius, Overmono), and crowdpleasers galore from the likes of Lana Del Rey and the National. As of March 21, all release dates have been confirmed. But, as usual, everything is subject to change.
