Friendly Fires

Back with a new album, British band Friendly Fires, figurehead of the indie-dance scene, will return to the French stage on 29 January at La Maroquinerie in Paris. After nearly a decade devoted to songwriting, Friendly Fires returns with “Dig Deeper”, a fourth album that marks a new chapter for one of the essential acts of the British indie-dance scene. Ed Macfarlane and Edd Gibson reconnect there with the essence of the band: luminous melodies, intoxicating guitars and irresistible rhythms, while exploring a freer, rawer and more personal sound.

Inspired by the great moments of indie-dance, from Talking Heads and New Order to Balearic sounds and nu-rave, “Dig Deeper” blends hypnotic grooves, Latin percussion, grandiose choruses and euphoric atmospheres. An album that draws on the band's musical history while asserting a new confidence and a desire to return to what defines its identity: making people dance, without ever ceasing to search further.

Following their return to the stage in summer 2026, Friendly Fires also confirms all of its energy live, mixing new tracks with the band's classics. With “Dig Deeper”, the duo delivers a vibrant and timeless comeback, somewhere between indie, pop and dance, faithful to the spirit that has driven them for almost twenty years.
