Maddox Jones Scores With Festival Slot

Maddox Jones is proving he knows exactly how to find the back of the net. His reimagined single ‘No More Ghosts’ recently soundtracked coverage of the Scottish Cup Quarter-Finals on BBC Scotland.

Originally closing his 2020 debut EP Headspace, ‘No More Ghosts’ returns in 2026 as something entirely reborn. What was once a delicate, slow-burning ballad now pulses with synth-driven energy, carrying the same emotional core but reframed through growth and clarity. It’s a conversation between past and present Maddox, trading fragility for strength, and hesitation for forward motion. Elevated production and expansive textures mirror an artist stepping confidently into a new chapter, while the accompanying visualiser reinforces that journey from haunting memories to hard-earned peace.

And like any player in form, Maddox isn’t slowing down. This summer, he lines up a major festival appearance at the Roseshire Festival, taking to the stage on Sunday 8th August alongside a crowd-pleasing lineup including Boyzlife, Eternal, The Hoosiers, and Chris Moyles with his 90s Hangover set. It’s set to be a standout date in a packed calendar and another big stage for Maddox to showcase his evolving sound.

It’s all part of a journey that’s been steadily building. From early success with The Departure, sharing stages with The Killers and Placebo, and playing iconic festivals like Glastonbury Festival, to carving out a solo career that has seen chart success, critical acclaim, and a debut headline UK tour.

With ‘No More Ghosts’ marking his first release since Waiting for the World to Turn, this moment feels less like a continuation and more like a reset, a clean strike, confidently taken.
