The Kooks, formed in Brighton in 2004, quickly rose to prominence with their debut album ‘Inside In/Inside Out‘ (2006), which achieved quadruple platinum status in the UK. Their last major tour was in 2022, following the release of their album ‘10 Tracks to Echo in the Dark‘. Frontman Luke Pritchard expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming tour, stating: “We made some of the greatest memories as a band on our last US tour and ever since we’ve been counting the days till we can return. This time with lovelytheband and playing material from our new album, it’s going to be magic. We can’t wait to see you all out on the road.”Following the North American dates, The Kooks are scheduled to perform at several European festivals, including Paaspop in the Netherlands on April 18, 2025, and Deichbrand Festival in Germany on July 17, 2025. UK fans can look forward to their appearance at the TRNSMT Festival in Glasgow on July 12 and at the Reading Festival on August 22, 2025.

The band commented on the new single on their X account: “Thank you for all the love on our new single Never Know. This song was written when I realised I really understood love for the first time and when you have that connection, nothing else matters. You could die tomorrow. So you never know… do that thing, go to that place and make those memories.”
To celebrate the album announcement, The Kooks hosted an indie club night at Notting Hill Arts Club in London. They also plan to tour the UK and US later this year, with details to be announced. Despite a period away from the spotlight, the band continues to enjoy global popularity, evidenced by their high streaming numbers on platforms like Spotify. The band also released the single ‘Jeanie‘ in collaboration with lovelytheband in November last year.

We’re so pleased to announce that our brand new album Never/Know will be available on May 9th.

Never/Know is romantic, it’s a positive record, it’s sunshine, it’s about forgetting the bad things for half an hour. It’s impulsive, personal – the whole thing is a love letter… pic.twitter.com/pAyujbAvPW

Formed in Brighton in 2004, The Kooks quickly gained prominence with hits like ‘Ooh La’, ‘She Moves in Her Own Way’, and ‘Naive’, which peaked at No. 5 in 2006. It remains one of their most recognisable and streamed tracks, contributing significantly to the success of their debut album, ‘Inside In/Inside Out‘ (2006). The song’s catchy melody and introspective lyrics helped cement The Kooks as a staple of the mid-2000s indie rock scene.With ‘Never/Know‘, The Kooks aim to recapture the essence of their early work while pushing their sound into new territories. Fans can expect a mix of nostalgia and innovation, as the band embraces both their past and future. ‘Never Know’ is now available for streaming and anticipation is high for the full album release in May. Stay tuned for tour announcements and further insights into one of the most anticipated indie albums of the year.
