SOUTH ARCADE DROP NEW SINGLE
Continuing their unstoppable momentum, South Arcade have officially released their brand-new single, ‘F.A.M.O.U.S’, available now through BKM Artists in partnership with Atlantic US. Listen HERE.
Fans have already been treated to live previews of the anthem during the group's recent run of European festival dates, as well as their appearance at Summer Sonic in Japan last month. By dropping their third release of the year, the band offer another thrilling taste of what lies ahead while delivering their signature energetic Y2K sound. ‘F.A.M.O.U.S’ arrives on the heels of earlier releases ‘DEADMEAT’ and ‘SUPERMAN’, the latter marking their most successful streaming debut so far.
Speaking of ‘F.A.M.O.U.S’, the band said, “It feels like everyone around you sometimes has an opinion on how you could be ‘bettering’ yourself or what you do. People love to chime in and tell you their negative opinions of you but when you strip it back, it always comes from a place of their insecurity. This song is essentially a big F you to outside fickle opinions. This track is basically saying ‘what have you got to lose’ and go for it - if you’ve got something different or an ‘edge’, make that your strength and leave those types of people behind.”
Throughout 2026, South Arcade have firmly established themselves as an undeniable force in the music industry. Their expanding catalog has amassed nearly 200 million global streams alongside more than 277 million YouTube views, supported by a combined social media following exceeding 1.8 million and a monthly Spotify audience over 1 million listeners. Live, they have sold more than 40,000 tickets throughout the UK and Europe. Radio support has been equally massive, accumulating over 10,000 plays and 35 million impressions across European and British airwaves. BBC Radio 1 in particular has championed the group, delivering over 420 plays, adding 5 singles to their playlist, hosting them at their flagship Big Weekend event, featuring them on Radio 1 festival stages, and awarding 3 of their tracks the coveted 'Hottest Record' premiere.
This remarkable period of growth has been matched by an intensive touring schedule for the four-piece, which included their inaugural Australian headline run, an arena tour across the UK and Europe opening for 5 Seconds Of Summer, and a jam-packed summer season featuring Download main stage, Warped Tour, and the US Summer School Tour. Capping off this impressive run, the band will celebrate their massive growth with their largest headline concert so far, a fully sold-out show at London's iconic O2 Academy Brixton scheduled for February 25th, 2027. Their rise remains completely relentless.
South Arcade consists of vocalist Harmony Cavelle, guitarist Harry Winks, bassist Ollie Green, and drummer Cody Jones.
