As a whole, 2016 may go down in infamy, but don't forget it brought us the musical gifts of Lemonade, Views, The Life Of Pablo and more.

2017 is knocking at the door and that means a 12 whole months worth of exciting new music is on the horizon.

Royal Blood have started teasing their return. So have Gorillaz and Kasabian. And that blue box Ed Sheeran posted the other week can only be the beginning of a triumphant return, right?

Here's what we know so far about the album releases you need to watch out for in 2017 including The xx, Tinie Tempah, Zara Larsson, Dua Lipa and more...
