Sleeper have announced their biggest UK tour since reforming, with the band set to take their forthcoming sixth studio album, End of the World, on the road across the UK in March and April 2027, with South London four-piece Turin Brakes joining them as special guests.

The announcement follows the release of Sleeper’s explosive new single and album title track, End of the World, which introduces a new chapter for the band and for frontwoman Louise Weneras a songwriter. The album, released 12 February 2027, is a deeply personal collection of ten songs that combines Sleeper’s instinct for huge melodies and anthemic choruses with a newfound emotional directness.

“I’m really looking forward to taking this album out on the road,” says Louise Wener. “These new songs mean a lot to me, and I think they’re going to sound fantastic live. There’s something wonderful about finally playing them in a room with people and making that emotional connection with a crowd. We’re so excited that Turin Brakes are joining us – we’ve been fans for a long time, so it’s going to be a special combination.”

Written and recorded between Paris and Manchester and produced by Joe Cross (The Courteeners, Hurts, Louis Tomlinson, The Slow Readers Club), End of the World moves through grief, regret, loneliness, heartbreak and renewal, ultimately becoming a record about finding the strength to let go and reclaim yourself.

Where 2019’s The Modern Age marked Sleeper’s return to the studio and a reconnection with their identity as a band, End of the World captures an artist discovering what she has to say now. Despite its emotional weight, the album is sonically bold and euphoric, with Wener’s trademark earworm hooks and anthemic choruses running throughout.

Sleeper play Electric Studios on 18 March 2027. Tickets available here.
