by | Sep 12, 2025

Scottish singer-songwriter Callum Beattie has announced details of his third studio album INDI, set for release on 23rd January 2026. The record arrives alongside his powerful new single Two Pretenders. The announcement comes during a landmark year for Beattie, who will take to the stage at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on 22nd November for the biggest headline show of his career. The 14,000-capacity concert follows a run of milestones that includes selling over 100,000 tickets in Scotland last year, achieving two consecutive #1 albums on the Scottish Albums Chart, and surpassing 50 million streams worldwide.

INDI promises to be Beattie’s rawest and most personal body of work to date. Produced by Joe Cross (Courteeners, The LaFontaines, Louis Tomlinson), the album blends heartfelt, confessional songwriting with widescreen indie-rock ambition. Themes of inner struggle, resilience, and the search for authentic love are at its core, while Beattie’s passionate voice drives a sound built for arenas.

Speaking about Two Pretenders, the album’s lead single, Beattie explains: “Two Pretenders is about two people on the edge of collapse, still desperately clinging to the love they once knew. It’s the sound of heartbreak meeting hope, of fighting for something that’s slipping away, but refusing to let go without a final, honest try. At its core, it’s a plea for connection in the chaos. The chorus says it all: ‘Throwing our hearts in the fire, clinging to the embers’.”

Third Eye Blind Bring Chaos, Charm And Catharsis To London’s Islington Assembly Hall

An ominous, synth-driven hum filled the room at Islington Assembly Hall, a restless Thursday night crowd buzzing beneath it. Then — silence. A heartbeat later, the guitars of Thanks A Lot burst to life as Stephen Jenkins strode onto the stage in crisp white trousers and a beanie, his guitar hung low, his every movement theatrical. The room erupted. Without a word, Third Eye Blind were off and running — all muscle, melody and memory.
