Fresh off the back of explosive main stage performances at Download Festival, Copenhell and more, as well as picking up Best Breakthrough Live Artist at the Heavy Music Awards, unpeople continue their rapid ascension with the announcement of their biggest headline shows to date.
Across January 2027, the band will take on eight shows across the UK, including a night at London’s Electric Ballroom on January 28th, matching the ambition of a band on the cusp of truly breaking through. Tickets here, with pre-sale kicking off Wednesday, July 15th @ 10.00am, and general sale on Friday, July 17th @ 10.00am.
A seamless ability to connect across boundaries and conjure communal spirit, sits at the very heart of the band’s recently-announced debut album we are unpeople – out October 9th on SharpTone Records. Built upon massive choruses, four-part vocal harmonies and unabated heaviness, it captures a band whose ambition is matched by their belief in the power of music to unite people.
With stadium-busting choruses, to 00’s Reuben-esque mega riffs and the stunningly unpredictable eccentricity of System Of A Down, the album is colourful and joyous, yet aggressive and intense, having already spawned infectious tasters that include ‘friends’, ‘clouds’, ‘the garden’ & ‘waste’.
Comprised of Jake Crawford, Luke Caley, Em Lodge & Richard Rayner, unpeople have quickly established themselves as one of the UK’s most exciting new alternative bands, earning themselves a reputation for creating music that feels equally at home on the biggest rock stages and the heaviest festival bills – having fittingly been described as the lightest band at Bloodstock, and the heaviest band at Kendal Calling – finding themselves equally at home in both settings.
With Kerrang! hailing them as “one of alternative music’s best new bands”, live, they’ve opened for Metallica in Vienna, shared bills with Smashing Pumpkins and Coheed & Cambria & drawn huge crowds at 2000trees.
With big festival sets still to play at Reading & Leeds & Radar Festival, the band are ready to take things to the next level. January’s new headline shows are simply not to be missed.
we are unpeople.
you are unpeople.
we are all unpeople.”
