There is no official release date. A new album titled DOGS is confirmed to exist and to be substantially finished — Matty Healy confirmed the title on camera in December 2025 and said the band "made two" albums. As of Jul 24 2026, neither the band, Dirty Hit, nor any established outlet has reported a date, and no tour dates are listed anywhere. A November 2026 window circulating among fan accounts is unverified.
Finished, titled, undated. The album exists; the era hasn't opened. Every verified signal points to a completed record (possibly two) sitting on the shelf while the band waits for its moment — with no rollout, no single, and no live dates announced. The last verified development is now seven months old, which by this band's standards means the silence itself is the story.

The Still… At Their Very Best tour concludes in Manchester. The band declares an "indefinite hiatus" from live shows — explicitly not a breakup — to focus on new music and their personal lives.

Healy confirms it was deliberate, writing on Reddit: the track was removed "so the album is more how I want it to be." A band revising a three-year-old record while sitting on new ones is a statement of standards.

Source: RUSSHRUSSH also references Healy mentioning "a couple of shows next February in the UK." Our note: no such public dates ever appeared on listings services, and we have found no verified record of public February 2026 shows. Either the plans changed, the shows were private, or the report was mistaken — we treat this thread as unresolved rather than pretend it didn't exist.
Source: RUSSH; listings check Jul 2026Fan accounts amplify a claim that the album is "set to release" in November 2026. No source is offered; the most-shared post is dated April 1. We trace the claim's full history in the Rumor Mill.

Unverified Claims in circulation, rated honestly. Nothing here is fact until it moves upstairs.
Fits the album-cycle math and their autumn history, but traces only to fan accounts — not the band, the label, or any outlet with a track record. Full breakdown in the Rumor Mill.
Claimed only by AI-generated aggregator sites without dates or sourcing, and contradicted by empty listings services. Nothing here yet.
A single press report (RUSSH) with a very 1975-shaped title. Credible enough to log, not confirmed enough to state.
