The Mercury Nominated Leeds band shared their new single & video ‘The Trench Coat Museum’ earlier this summer. Co-produced by the band and Gorillaz member Remi Kabaka Jr., the standalone single was the first original music that Yard Act shared since the release of their critically acclaimed, Mercury Prize shortlisted debut album The Overload in January 2022. The single was instantly added to the BBC Radio 6 Music A-List upon release and sparked feverish discussion about the band’s next exciting full-length release, slated for next year.
Yard Act opened the main stage at Reading & Leeds Festival this summer as well as making appearances at Latitude (headlining the BBC Sounds stage, no less), Fuji Rocks, and Boardmasters. The band will return to North America in November with a run of headline shows across the US, culminating in a slot at Mexico City’s Corona Capital Festival.
Earlier this year, Yard Act delivered an unprecedented five night residency at their hometown’s Brudenell Social Club which was awarded four stars each in reviews from Rolling Stone UK, The Telegraph, and The Times. The band were joined by a stellar lineup of comedians; Phill Jupitus, Nish Kumar, Lolly Adefope and Harry Hill. The band also made their festival headline bow at Dot To Dot in Bristol & Nottingham, performed at Primavera (Barcelona, Madrid & Porto) and played their maiden shows in Australia and New Zealand this year, truly making their mark on the global stage.
