Over the Avengers? Don’t worry: this year promises a cornucopia of fresh comic-book characters to perk up the genre. Miranda also scores the animated Vivo (about a music-loving monkey), while Camila Cabello is a singing Cinderella (5 February), and biopic subjects include Aretha Franklin and Elvis Presley. Stage-tested musicals are coming to a screen near you, including drag-teen smash Everybody’s Talking About Jamie (26 February), Lin-Manuel Miranda’s pre-Hamilton In the Heights (30 July) and Spielberg’s West Side Story (10 December). The theme continues through Lee Daniels’ The United States vs Billie Holiday (12 March), and Judas and the Black Messiah with Daniel Kaluuya as Black Panthers chairman Fred Hampton. This month sees Regina King’s One Night in Miami (15 January, Amazon Prime Video), bringing together Cassius Clay, Malcolm X, Sam Cooke and Jim Brown, and new doc MLK/FBI (15 January). Leslie Odom Jr as Sam Cooke in One Night in Miami. This year they reunite ( Barbican, EC2, 11 July) with their compelling RoundAgain album.
Saxophonist Joshua Redman, pianist Brad Mehldau, bassist Christian McBride and drummer Brian Blade’s 1994 debut was all too brief – because they were all on the verge of their own starry careers. Garsington, Longborough and The Grange follow. Glyndebourne (nr Lewes, 20 May to 29 August) kicks things off with six productions, three of which – including Kát’a Kabanová – are brand new. The country-house operas already have seasons in place. So, 2021 could well see the uncorking of a year’s worth of euphoria, with a raft of new songs aimed at making us forget the past 12 months.
#EVERWILD MUSIC FESTIVAL 2021 FULL#
Last year was full of frustration, with its bangers – Romy’s Lifetime, Dua Lipa’s Physical, Róisín Murphy’s We Got Together – wasted on cordoned-off dancefloors. If galloping indie is more your bag there’s Holly Humberstone, while Remi Wolf’s oddball disco offers escapism. If 2020 saw us cling to nostalgia, 2021 could see an upswell in breakthroughs, from the atmospherics of rapper Pa Salieu to the pop highs of Griff and Gracey, via the fluorescent hip-hop of Bree Runway.
