Get ready to rock, Shed Seven fans! The mighty York-formed indie stalwarts are set to unleash a brand-new chapter in their illustrious career with the release of their self-titled studio album on 8 January 2027 through Cooking Vinyl. This is more than just an album - it's a bold statement of intent from a band that refuses to stand still, and a testament to their enduring passion for music.
'Stand Together', the lead single from this highly anticipated LP, is a clarion call to arms, its anthemic chorus and crunching guitar riffs perfectly capturing the mood of a world crying out for unity. "This love will never fade," Rick Witter bellows on the track's opening lines, his voice soaring above the fray like a champion boxer punching the air in triumph.
For Shed Seven, this album marks a new frontier - one where creativity knows no bounds and the only limit is their imagination. With renewed confidence flowing from recent successes, including two number one albums in 2024, they're ready to push the envelope and redefine what it means to be a rock band in the modern era. And make no mistake, this album will not be just another rehashing of past glories - it's the real deal.
Shed Seven's recent achievements are nothing short of phenomenal. Their 2024 LPs, 'A Matter Of Time' and 'Liquid Gold', both reached number one in the UK, a feat that puts them alongside some of the all-time greats like The Beatles, Elton John, David Bowie, and Taylor Swift - acts who've only managed to achieve this remarkable double-whammy once before.
And what's next? A comprehensive UK and Ireland headline tour scheduled for autumn and winter 2026, kicking off in Belfast on 23 October with a veritable blitzkrieg of gigs across the country. Expect multiple nights in Nottingham, Birmingham, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Manchester - not to mention two unforgettable shows at Leeds Arena in December. Plus, there's more: a special live-streamed acoustic gig at London's iconic 100 Club and a support slot for Richard Ashcroft at Englefield Estate later this month.
For Rick Witter, it's clear that Shed Seven are on a mission to shake off the 'nostalgia tag' that's dogged them in recent years. "We want our new material to feel fresh and current," he told us last year - and with this album and tour, they're delivering on that promise in spades.
