All four acts will be making their Victoria Secret Fashion Show debuts this year. The gig comes as Swift wraps up the last handful of international dates on the tour behind her 2012 record Red. Even amid all her time on the road, she’s been working on new songs for the follow-up, of which she recently said, “I think the goal for the next album is to continue to change, and never change in the same way twice.” Meanwhile Fall Out Boy will be touring the U.S. behind their comeback record Save Rock and Roll through December, before taking off to Japan and Europe next spring.
This won’t be the first time the two acts share the same stage this year either: this past summer, during a show at the Meadowlands in New Jersey, Swift invited Fall Out Boy frontman Patrick Stump on stage for a performance of FOB’s “My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light It Up).”
As for the newcomers, Neon Jungle have been making waves in the U.K. with their debut single “Trouble” and the four-piece just wrapped up a tour with Jessie J; the group’s next single, “Braveheart,” is slated for official release on January 19th, 2014, with an album to follow.
Indie-pop outfit A Great Big World garnered attention with a crowd-funded EP on Kickstarter that led to a deal with Epic Records. The band scored a viral hit with “This Is the New World,” which appeared on a recent episode of Glee, then followed it up with the equally successful “Say Anything,” which they performed on The Voice with Christina Aguilera. Both cuts will appear on their full-length debut Is There Anybody Out There?, which will see release on January 14th, 2014.
