Maxïmo Park will celebrate the 20th anniversary of their debut album ‘A Certain Trigger’ with a special reissuing of the LP, due out on 31 October 2025.

Upon its release, Mercury Prize-nominated full-length quickly became a defining fixture of the 2000s indie music landscape, and nearly two decades on, the album still resonates with an unfading energy and influence.

Produced by Paul Epworth and released on Warp, ‘A Certain Trigger’ delivered a trio of hit singles, ‘Apply Some Pressure’, ‘Graffiti’ and ‘Going Missing’, all of which continue to light up indie disco dancefloors to this day.

The reissue will include a variety of different formats including a single LP, double gatefold LP, and 3xLP collection. Also included will be Missing Songs featuring the likes of ‘A19’, ‘Isolation’, and ‘My Life in Reverse’, as well as a Rarities & B-Sides CD including ‘Wasteland’, ‘⁠Limassol (First Avenue demo)’, ‘⁠The Coast Is Always Changing (Dilston Road demo)’, and ⁠’⁠Kiss You Better (BBC Radio 2 Janice Long session)’ to name a few.

Maxïmo Park lead singer Paul Smith commented:

“Not many bands make it to a twentieth year together so we’re having a big celebration, with a special 20th anniversary tour and by giving a fresh perspective to A Certain Trigger. Our first album remains dear to so many people, and compiling archive material for the reissue has been like entering a time machine – thrilling, but also a bit scary! Happily, we think the music has more than stood the test of time, and the tour, where we’ll revisit many of the beloved older songs, will be a joyful experience for both us and our audience. Playing live has always been at the heart of what we do, and we still feel the same exhilaration stepping onto the stage as we did in the beginning, but now with even more appreciation of the moment, and the roar of the crowds.”
