Scouting For Girls

Scouting For Girls are coming back to York Barbican in 2026 to celebrate the 15th anniversary of their hit album "Everybody Wants To Be On TV". 

In 2010, Scouting For Girls amplified the success of their self-titled debut album with their follow-up ‘Everybody Wants To Be On TV’. Its lead single ‘This Ain’t A Love Song’ spent two weeks at #1 on its way to securing Platinum status, while the album debuted at #2 during a three-week Top 10 run and was also certified Platinum in recognition of 300,000+ domestic sales. Now Scouting For Girls commemorate the album’s 15th anniversary with the release of new picture disc and zoetrope vinyl formats, and confirm details of a special celebratory tour which will see them mix songs from the album with all of their biggest hits. 

Scouting For Girls’ vocalist, guitarist and songwriter Roy Stride says, “I can’t believe we’re already celebrating the 15th anniversary of our second album, and I’m beyond excited to get back on the road in 2026! It feels like only yesterday that ‘This Ain’t A Love Song’ went to #1 in the charts! To mark the occasion, we’ve gone all out with a gorgeous picture disc and zoetrope vinyl release - fans are going to love it! There are only 1,000 signed copies, so I hope there’s still one left for me. Our last two tours sold out in record time so I'm asking all fans to register on our mailing list before they go on sale so they can access the ticket pre-sale. The shows are going to be immense - a massive nostalgic Scouting singalong every night.”
