To celebrate our fifth edition of the NME 100 – the first was released in 2017 – we’ve invited some old friends back to see what they’re excited about right now. It is an agonising task – but a bloody fun one, too. Then there’s the fight to squeeze in as many as we can.

This year, we obviously couldn’t host that kind of carnage in our bunker, but I’ve still got that irreplaceable buzzy feeling as we share with you the NME 100 2021 – the essential emerging artists for the upcoming year.

This is where the most exciting new musical talent on the planet convenes at NME Towers in London to be snapped by our brilliant photographers in support of our annual list of ones-to-watch. The NME 100 shoot day is my favourite day of the year.
