British indie icons The Kooks have announced a major UK tour - and it's coming to Birmingham.

The Kooks’ seventh studio album, Never/Know, drops on 9 May. News of the tour follows the release of their feel-good, springtime anthem, Sunny Baby. The track was featured in The Times' Best New Songs roundup and premiered on BBC Radio 2 with Jo Whiley.

The band launched their campaign in style, hosting a raucous Indie Club Night at a packed-out Notting Hill Arts Club in January. The album’s lead single, Never Know, was named Radio X’s Record of the Week and has received airplay on BBC Radio 1, 6 Music, and BBC Radio 2.

Main support for the tour will come from Merseyside four-piece, The K’s. The band were named Breakthrough Act of the Year at the Northern Music Awards in 2024. Their second album, Pretty On The Internet is out in June 2025.

The Kooks play Utilita Arena Birmingham on Friday 10 October. Tickets go on sale at 10am on Friday 25 April here.
