The 2026 of Calvin Harris kicked off with an outstanding collaboration, teaming up with British rock band Kasabian. The track had already been teased on social media by Calvin Harris himself several weeks earlier, building massive hype thanks to the iconic red vinyl being waved.
Release the Pressure marks an unprecedented meeting point between dance music and the raw, energetic rock attitude of Kasabian, creating a crossover that won’t be forgotten anytime soon. The blend of styles has sparked mixed reactions within the dance community: some are sceptical, while others already see the track as a potential 2026 hit.
We also played the track in the Best of Today #Release episode #342, and you’ll surely remember the vocal. It is performed by Sergio Pizzorno – Kasabian’s frontman – who brings a stronger narrative and emotional edge compared to standard EDM vocals, making the track instantly catchy.
#FunFact: Kasabian have been one of the most recurring bands featured in FIFA soundtracks, the iconic football videogame, with songs included in at least five different editions between 2004 and 2017. Many players will definitely remember this track.
Release the Pressure marks the very first official collaboration between Calvin Harris and Kasabian.
Release Date: 6 February 2026 » Sony Music | Spotify | Apple Music |
