From Glastonbury legends to Springsteen’s long-lost tracks, it’s been a big few weeks at Badlands. Playback parties, exclusive vinyl, white label giveaways – and July’s just getting started. Dive in...
From Lorde and Pulp to The Boss and Big Thief, June hit hard - and July’s not letting up. New releases are rolling in faster than we can restock, and we’ve got giveaways, white labels, and exclusive formats stacked up like a DJ’s dream. Let’s dive in 👇
Glastonbury 2025 gave us one for the ages - 80-year-old Rod Stewart belting it out on the Pyramid Stage as the festival’s oldest-ever performer joined by Ronnie Wood. And just when we thought we’d seen it all, The Cure’s Robert Smith stepped out to join Olivia Rodrigo for a surprise that bridged generations and melted minds. Absolute scenes.
Bruce Springsteen has been unstoppable. His epic 2025 tour is coming to a close. And the big release? Tracks II: The Lost Albums finally dropped - and what a treasure trove it is. Unreleased Springsteen from 35 years of magic, wrapped up in a lush box set with a stunning 12" print (exclusive to Badlands, of course).
And shoutout to the legends who made it to our Lorde playback party - big vibes, big tunes, and one lucky fan got chosen for a signed art print. Definitely an album for the summer!
June’s Pulp competition was a blast - congrats to Simon, who scored a signed ‘Spike Island’ 7"! More giveaways on the horizon, including a signed Big Thief - Double Infinity white label for one lucky pre-orderer. Strap in.
We’ve got a month of mega drops. Just a few notables:
