Between eras — and closer to the next one than ever. After winding down the marathon At Their Very Best / Still… At Their Very Best touring cycle and declaring an "indefinite hiatus" from live shows, the band resurfaced exactly once in 2025: a Pyramid Stage headline at Glastonbury that ended with a single mysterious word — DOGS. Matty Healy has since confirmed that's an album title, and that the band recorded two albums' worth of material. No release date is official yet. No tour dates are currently on the books. Every signal suggests that won't stay true for long. Full story →

Eras & discography

Four school friends from Cheshire who spent a decade as an unsigned band with a rotating name, then became one of the most restlessly shape-shifting acts of their generation — swerving from glossy pop to ambient noise to Bacharach-style balladry, often inside a single record. Each album below is less a release than a fully-built world: its own palette, typography, stage design, and lore.
