It’s a step up in scale for a band who’ve spent 2026 building serious momentum, following the release of their debut album Something Real — a record that moves between huge guitar hooks and unflinching, socially-conscious songwriting, tackling everything from anxiety and domestic violence to climate anxiety and online outrage culture.
The arena support slot arrives in the middle of a breakout year that’s already taken the band to Reading & Leeds, Japan’s Summer Sonic, and national radio support from BBC Radio 1 and 6 Music. Leeds audiences get two chances to catch them this autumn: this arena support slot, and their own headline show at Project House later in November — details of which you can find in our earlier feature.
Something Real is out now, and you can listen to it below.
The Guest List will play at First Direct Arena, Leeds on Friday 6 November 2026.
