Reverend & The Makers have today released their new single ‘UFO’ on Distiller Records and announced the Old Socials Clubs Tour. A groovy, sceptic’s rumination on our fixation with alien life, featuring gorgeous trumpets from Laura McClure, ‘UFO’ is the third single to be unveiled from the Sheffield 5-piece’s eighth studio album, ‘Is This How Happiness Feels’, which is set for release on April 24th, 2026. This new single comes hot on the heels of Reverend & The Makers biggest headline show to date at Rock N Roll Circus in Sheffield, where the band celebrated their 20-year anniversary with a triumphant homecoming performance for 30,000 fans at Don Valley Bowl.
Speaking about new single ‘UFO’, frontman Jon McClure says, “I used to think UFO types were barmy. But maybe they’re not. Nobody knows, do they really? What is for certain is that if aliens do come, we should sort our sh*t out here on earth beforehand.”
‘UFO’ is the third single to be shared from Reverend & The Makers forthcoming studio album ‘Is This How Happiness Feels’, following previous releases ‘Late Night Phone Call’ and the irresistible summer anthem ‘Haircut’, which featured a duet with Jon and Vicky McClure. The two pals, who co-founded Day Disco, were interviewed and performed together on BBC’s The One Show. Jon McClure was also a sofa guest on BBC Breakfast, which saw ‘Haircut’ soar to no.1 position on iTunes.
The single comes alongside the announcement of the Old Socials Clubs Tour which will see Reverend & The Makers embark on a special 7-date underplay tour of intimate venues in November and December – see below:
