Colm breaks the band up this week as he absconds across the water for a wedding. Luckily, the good ship NO ENCORE stays afloat thanks to the presence of the returning Celina Murphy.

On the agenda; some frankly ludicrous news stories (just how we like them, really), some intriguing new tunes and the new album fro- wait, no album review?!

ACT ONE: Bloc Party headlining arena shows in 2018, Pitbull's trip to the United Nations, a royal engagement for Sting & Shaggy, YouTube's seduction technique and Facebook being bold.

ACT TWO: The glorious NO ENCORE Listening Guide returns talking all things The Strokes.

ACT THREE: Songs of the Week with Snow Patrol, Fangclub, Q-Tip, Demi Lovato, Sigrid, Snail Mail and X Factor sensation Matt Cardle.

EXIT MUSIC: Sorcha Richardson - 'Can't We Pretend'
