Get ready for lift-off! The mighty Shed Seven have announced their forthcoming self-titled studio album, set to blast off on 8 January 2027, and it's a game-changer. This York-based indie outfit has been quietly gearing up for this moment, having managed themselves with military precision to ensure they're firing on all cylinders. With the help of Cooking Vinyl, Shed Seven are about to unleash their most ambitious record yet – a bold new chapter that's set to leave fans and critics alike in awe.
With pride swelling in every word, Shed Seven describes this album as "the beginning of something truly special". And it shows – the band has approached this project with renewed confidence, eager to push the boundaries of their sound while staying true to what makes them tick. As they say, this self-titled album is a statement of intent – and one that promises to stand out from the crowd.
Lead single 'Stand Together' sets the tone perfectly – an anthemic track that's equal parts rallying cry for unity and call to arms for solidarity in these chaotic times. With lyrics that shout "Sing, and shout it from the rooftops/ This love will never fade" and promise to "Take my hand I'll lead the way", Rick Witter has crafted a sonic battle cry that will leave even the toughest of critics weak at the knees.
But this is just the beginning – Shed Seven's UK tour, set for autumn and winter 2026, promises to be an unforgettable experience. The band will take to stages in Belfast, Dublin, Nottingham, Birmingham, Glasgow, Edinburgh, London, Leeds, and more, bringing their brand-new sound and infectious energy to cities across the country.
Shed Seven's incredible achievement of securing two UK Number One albums – 'A Matter Of Time' and 'Liquid Gold' – within a single calendar year is still sending shockwaves through the music industry. And with this new album, they're aiming to silence their critics once and for all. Rick Witter has long spoken about shaking off the '90s nostalgia tag and forging ahead with fresh material that stands alongside their classic hits.
So, what can fans expect from Shed Seven's live shows? Acoustic gigs at London's iconic 100 Club, a special live-streamed performance that promises to be an intimate and unforgettable experience. And for those who need a little more, the band will support Richard Ashcroft at his epic outdoor concert at Englefield Estate later in July.
