There’s a point where momentum stops feeling accidental. Where a band looks up, realises the rooms are fuller, the songs are landing harder, and the path ahead suddenly feels possible. For Leazes, that moment arrived in 2025, and I’ve Been Waiting is what it sounds like when a band decides not to let it pass them by.
Out now, I’ve Been Waiting is a barnstorming indie epic that runs just past the three-minute mark, following last summer’s Melissa in Action and pushing the Leazes sound into sharper focus. Big-hearted and widescreen without losing its intimacy, the track trades nostalgia for presence, less about telling stories and more about standing inside them.
Their grounding sits at the heart of a second announcement: an intimate hometown headline at Think Tank, Newcastle, taking place on Sunday 5 April. Revealed today as a thank-you to the fans who’ve been part of the journey so far, tickets for the show are on sale now.
The months ahead see Leazes continuing to build momentum on the road, touring throughout March in support of Sheffield’s The Rosadocs, alongside BBC Introducing showcases and a summer run that includes major UK festival appearances.
The tour offers Leazes the chance to step into bigger rooms alongside a band further along the same path. Known for their work rate and connection with audiences, The Rosadocs have built their reputation through constant touring and sharp, direct songwriting. For Leazes, the run of dates represents both an opportunity and a proving ground, learning on the road while continuing to carve out their own space.
There’s more already waiting in the wings. New music is written, recorded and ready, with bigger projects quietly taking shape.
Rooted in Newcastle and shaped by it, Leazes wear their identity openly, not as a badge, but as a foundation. ‘I’ve Been Waiting’ is out now on all major streaming platforms.
Tickets for Leazes’ intimate Newcastle headline at Think Tank on Sunday 5 April are on sale now priced at £15.00 plus booking fee via Gigantic.
