Just over a week since we got back from tour and I'm not going to lie, I'm ready to do it all over again.

If you had told me just over a year ago that I would be joining one of my favourite bands, and that we would go on back to back tours with @leprousofficial and @btbamofficial , I would have told you that you're mad and need to be medicated.

And yet, here we are. Massive EU tour with Leprous followed immediately by a brilliant UK run with BTBAM for dessert.

Thanks to my Ihlo brothers @philmonromusic @robmairorynthia @progfox @clarkplaysdrums for putting up with my absolute idiocy daily. I can't describe how much it means to me that I was chosen to join this group and I'm loving every second of it. You guys are legends. 💜

Obligatory @_andresix shout-out, this man was the GOAT of this tour, he never stopped and without him we would have been to totally lost (and would not have sounded as good as we did). So proud of you for absolutely smashing it buddy 💚

Hope to see some of our new friends on the road someday, you guys are awesome:

Another @hippotraktor tour comes to an end.

Thank you to the boys for having me again, it was an absolute blast and was such an honour to tour my home country with you fine gentleman.

@cobratheimpaler you guys are legendary and if I ever tour with the Hippos again it will feel so weird if you're not there.

I am so fortunate to be able to do this twice in quick succession with the most amazing group of people and I am so happy to have been able to make such a special group of new friends.

I miss you all already 😭

📸 thanks @christophe_brysse for capturing it all so beautifully.

And finally thank you to all my friends and family who came out to the shows and everyone in the audience on this tour. You made each show special ❤️ by @maxbrayson

Opening every night for haken has been so incredible and playing to a sold out audience in Paris was even more so! You guys have been giving us the energy every night, thank you 🙏🫶🏻

@rdrfestival was an absolute blast! Opening up the mainstage was such a great way to spend our Sunday, and we're happy to have been invited along! Can you spot yourself in the crowd? 😎

RADAR! What a day 💜

We had an absolute blast playing @rdrfestival 2026 yesterday. It was an honour to open the main stage for the final day of the weekend!

Thanks to everyone who came out to see us, it was awesome to get to hang out and catch up with friends old and new.

Next up is Europe with @haken_official, see you guys there!

Firstly I want to say a massive thanks to @philmonromusic for mixing this, he did a great job bringing the cover to life and making it sound as massive as the original! Max and I have really been
into @weareunpeople since they released this song, and the rest of their discography is just as good. Can’t wait for their upcoming debut album - make sure to check them out at RADAR Festival if you’re there this year (along with @ihloband !) 🎸

Been absolutely obsessed with this band since I found them last week. This is probably my favourite track on the album, such a cool section here.
