Only the Poets

In agreement with Live Nation. Only The Poets, an alt-pop band from Reading, releases its highly anticipated debut album And I'd Do It Again on 30 January 2026. Consisting of 14 tracks, the album honestly explores themes such as grief, jealousy, regret and resilience.

Carried by modern pop production with 1980s synth-pop influences, the project confirms the band's strong and emotional identity. Among the standout tracks are 'Emotionally Hungover', 'Guess She's Cool', 'Madeline' as well as the singles 'I Keep On Messing It Up', 'Saké' and 'Bad'.

The album was produced by Clem Cherry, Marcus Yates and DanDlion, then mixed and mastered by collaborators of Harry Styles and Lorde. Lead singer Tommy Longhurst describes this album as 'the best representation of the band to date'.

Three days after the release, Only The Poets will play a sold-out exceptional concert at O2 Academy Brixton on 2 February 2026. The band becomes the first to offer tickets for just £1 at this iconic venue.

This initiative aims to make live music accessible to as many people as possible and also supports The LIVE Trust. A £1 supplement per ticket will be donated to support venues and access to live music in the UK.

In this same spirit, the band organized a platform for emerging British artists with over 1000 applications received. Only The Poets has built a loyal community through intensive touring and strong closeness with its audience.

The band opened for Lewis Capaldi, YUNGBLUD, Bastille and recently The Wombats in the United States. In 2025, they sold over 30,000 tickets in Europe and sold out in London, New York, Los Angeles and Boston.

Only The Poets continues its rise by remaining true to its values: authenticity, connection with fans and stage power.
