Iconic noughties indie band announce new tour and album 14 years after huge hit and line-up change
AN iconic noughties indie band have announced they are releasing a new album and going on tour.
14 years after their huge hit Still Live and a massive line-up change, The Horrors are going back on the road.
Formed in 2005, The Horrors are approaching their 20th anniversary as a band.
To commemare the massive milestone, the group have released a new album called Night Life.
And to accompany the album, they will be heading out on tour across the UK and Ireland to perform their new songs.
“Now that album #6 is alive and kicking, we are announcing a run of UK shows for later this year – and also a show in Dublin, where we haven’t played enough over the years,” they penned on Instagram this week.
“Looking forward to seeing you in flesh & bone yesss,” they added.
“YES!!! I may have screamed when I saw the email earlier. You know I’ll be there,” commented one fan in response to the news.
Another swooned: “I can’t wait to see them in Brighton at the Chalk. I saw three of them recently at Resident Records in Brighton and they were great.”
While a third begged: “When are you coming to the US. San Diego or Los Angeles please!!!!!”
The garage rock band comprises of original three members: lead vocalist Faris Badwan, guitarist Joshua Hayward, and bassist Rhys Webb.
Drummer and percussionist Joe Spurgeon was once a member of the group, but he departed the group in 2024.
Keyboardist and synthesizer player Tom Furse also used to be in the band but left in 2021.
The two former members have since been replaced.
Drummer Joe has been replaced by Jordan Cook, and keyboardist Tom has been replaced by Amelia ‘Millie’ Kidd.
Both Jordan and Millie joined The Horrors in 2024.

Lead vocalist Faris spoke out in an interview in April 2024 with Jasper Willems.
“I feel like we’re a little bit of an anomaly in some ways; we’ve never really been part of a scene with loads of other bands,” Faris said.
“I feel The Horrors have always existed a little bit outside of whatever else is going on.
“I think that just comes from having conviction in what you want to do and not really thinking about what’s currently happening.
“What people get into is so cyclical and you just have to get on and do what you think is right in whatever moment, you know?” he said.
The band have five albums aside from their most recent one.
The Horrors have released Strange House (2007), Primary Colours (2009), Skying (2011), Luminous (2014), and V (2017).
