Following the success of their 2025 UK tour, which saw them headline London’s iconic Roundhouse, We Are Scientists will return for something of a victory lap in the coming weeks.
With dates kicking off at Oxford’s O2 Academy on 30th September, the nine show run will see them traverse the length and breadth of England, before concluding at Bristol’s Electric on 10th October. Dates and details below.
In an industry where bands routinely burst onto the scene with meteoric intensity only to fade just as quickly, We Are Scientists have quietly crafted one of alternative rock’s most remarkable sustained careers. For over two decades, the New York-based outfit — comprising founding members Keith Murray and Chris Cain — has consistently delivered sharp, infectious indie rock, maintaining the rare ability to evolve without losing their essential DNA.
In 2026, We Are Scientists will continue to celebrate their remarkable career by marking the 20th anniversary of their seminal debut, ‘With Love & Squalor’. Containing hits including “Nobody Move, Nobody Get Hurt”, “Great Escape”, and “It’s A Hit”, the album marked the arrival of a potent new force in indie music.
Two decades on, We Are Scientists continue to approach their craft with the same blend of intelligence, wit, and musical adventurousness that put them on the musical map and released their ninth studio album, ‘Qualifying Miles’, last year. An album that found the band revisiting childhood roots and embracing the raw immediacy of the guitar-driven indie rock they were weaned on, the record and its supporting shows cemented the band’s reputation as a creative force both live and on record.
Returning to the UK in Autumn 2026, with a focus on material from both ‘With Love & Squalor’ and ‘Qualifying Miles’, expect a setlist filled with total classics and new favourites in equal measure.
Look out for a special 20th Anniversary reissue of ‘With Love & Squalor’ at the merch stand of their upcoming UK dates too…
