Frontman Roy Stride commented, “This is a once-in-a-lifetime moment for us, and we’ll do everything we can to make these the biggest and best shows of our career. We honestly can’t wait to celebrate 20 years of Scouting for Girls with our amazing fans. One of the first gigs we ever played together was at Wembley Youth Club when we were still teenagers, so the fact we now get to play Wembley Arena feels completely mad in the best possible way. And Manchester’s mighty AO Arena too… honestly, it’s a dream come true.”

Artist Bio:

Scouting for Girls burst onto the UK music scene with their 2007 self-titled debut album, which spent two weeks at No.1 and achieved 3x Platinum status, with over 900,000 sales. Their 2010 follow-up, ‘Everybody Wants To Be On TV’, reached No.2 and was also certified Platinum.

The band have maintained a consistent presence on the charts, returning to the UK Top 10 with both ‘The Light Between Us’ and ‘Greatest Hits’.

Known for their infectious, feel-good sound, the trio are behind a string of beloved hits including ‘This Ain’t A Love Song’, ‘She’s So Lovely’, ‘Elvis Ain’t Dead’ and ‘Heartbeat’, and continue to enjoy a loyal, multi-generational fanbase.

Artist News:

Chart-topping, multi-Platinum selling trio Scouting for Girls return with their brand-new album These Are The Good Days, released 27 March 2026. The record follows 2023s ‘The Place We Used To Meet’, their highest-charting album in eight years.

Roy Stride commented, “What this album is about, what I feel the band is about, what my life is about… It’s all the same: bringing people together through live music and having a good time and singing along. And that’s why live music is so important. That’s what the title song is all about. About being in the present moment but also coming together.”

The band’s current headline tour has seen all 24 dates sell out, underlining their enduring popularity as one of the UK’s most beloved pop acts. With momentum continuing to build, they have already announced their two biggest headline shows to date, set for 2027.
