Marking a decade of Nothing But Thieves last year, with four albums, billions of streams, thousands of worldwide live shows and a global dedicated fanbase, the Southend five-piece made their musical return last week with euphoric new single ‘Evolution’. They cement the launch of their next chapter with the announcement of their 5th record ‘Stray Dogs’ released on 25th September via RCA/Sony Music, alongside their biggest tour to date with a headline 2027 tour in the UK & Ireland, Europe, the United States and Canada, steadily building their status as one of the UK and Europe’s biggest touring bands.
With an ever-evolving world-building approach both musically and visually, Nothing But Thieves returned to their roots – literally and thematically – during their recent time in the studio, recording at Angelic Studios where they made their debut record, looking back to how they began with a DIY spirit rooted in authenticity. Rather than carving new ideas out on the road, their new record was written in unison over a dedicated 5-month period, resulting in the band creating their most liberating and cohesive work to date. New album ‘Stray Dogs’ speaks to the power of community, belonging and the collective shared experiences that unite outsiders, including the immediate ‘stray dogs’ in the band’s own world.
Nothing But Thieves have been leaning into their loyal community over the past couple of weeks, teasing the announcement of ‘Stray Dogs’ with guerilla posters, a 4-day cryptic Youtube channel building to a global live streamed performance, and a secret gig billed as ‘stray dogs’ at Think Tank in Newcastle following their set at Radio 1’s Big Weekend.
This summer sees the band perform at festivals across Europe, alongside supporting Biffy Clyro at their outdoor shows in London and Edinburgh. Today, they have announced their biggest headline tour to date commencing in January 2027 with shows across the UK & Ireland, Europe, the United States and Canada. Dates include Manchester’s Co-Op Live, London’s O2 Arena and European shows at the 23,000 capacity AFAS Dome in Antwerp and two nights at Amsterdam’s Ziggo Dome.
