Only the Poets

in agreement with Live Nation. Only The Poets, the alt-pop band from Reading, is releasing their highly anticipated debut album And I’d Do It Again on 30 January 2026. Comprising 14 tracks, the album sincerely explores themes such as heartbreak, jealousy, regret, and resilience.

Driven by modern pop production with 80s synth-pop influences, the project confirms the band's strong and emotional identity. Key tracks include “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. Singer Tommy Longhurst describes this album as “the best representation of the band to date”.

Three days after its release, Only The Poets will play an exceptional and sold-out concert at the O2 Academy Brixton on 2 February 2026. The band becomes the first to offer tickets for only £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. An additional £1 per ticket will be donated to support venues and access to live music in the UK.

In the same vein, the band organised a springboard for emerging British artists, receiving over 1000 applications. Only The Poets has built a loyal community through intensive touring and a strong connection with their audience.

The band has supported 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 shows in London, New York, Los Angeles and Boston.

Only The Poets continues its ascent by staying true to its values: authenticity, connection with fans, and powerful stage presence.
