Scouting For Girls Announce 15th Anniversary Edition Of ‘Everybody Wants To Be On TV’ And Tour Dates

by | Apr 23, 2025

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.

Opening with the irresistible smash This Ain’t A Love Song, Everybody Wants To Be On TV feels just as fresh as it did on the day that it was released. The band’s quest to write the perfect pop song resulted in a set packed with other hits, fan favourites and live staples including Posh Girls, Famous, 1+1 and Little Miss Naughty.

In addition, Scouting For Girls today also launch a new Wolfcub Edition special pre-order of their upcoming studio album, due in 2026, via a signed and numbered limited edition Wolfcub lanyard. Fans can tap the lanyard on their phone to unlock new songs that they can hear before anyone else plus ‘making of’ content for the band’s forthcoming eighth studio album.

Fans who pre-order the Wolf Cub Edition HERE will have access to a ticket pre-sale which opens at 10am GMT on Wednesday, 30th April. Any remaining tickets then go on general sale HERE from 10am GMT on Friday, 2nd May.

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.”

Those two previous tours saw Scouting For Girls play some of the best shows of their career right across the country, including major London gigs at the Roundhouse and the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire. The tours followed the release of their most recent album, The Place We Used To Meet, which achieved their highest album chart position in almost a decade. Scouting For Girls then released an extended Deluxe Edition of the album.
