Scouting For Girls are firmly embracing the present with the release of their new album These Are The Good Days, arriving alongside the announcement of the biggest headline shows of their career to date.

Nearly two decades on from their breakthrough, the trio—fronted by Roy Stride—show no signs of slowing down. Their latest record channels the band’s signature feel-good energy, pairing anthemic hooks with a renewed sense of purpose, all rooted in the joy of live music and shared experiences.
“What this album is about… it’s all the same: bringing people together through live music and having a good time and singing along,” Stride explains. That ethos runs throughout the record, which leans into the band’s trademark optimism while reflecting on the journey that’s brought them here.
Focus track Stars Never Fade captures that spirit perfectly, inspired by the collective euphoria of huge live moments and built around a soaring, singalong chorus. Elsewhere, the album delivers a mix of arena-ready anthems and heartfelt pop, from the punchy Get What You Give to the energetic Waiting For Your Love and the buoyant Love Gone Bad. Closing track Alright In The End rounds things off with a flourish of piano and brass, nodding to classic pop influences while keeping the band’s identity front and centre.

The release comes at a time when Scouting For Girls are enjoying a fresh wave of momentum. Their current UK tour has sold out all 24 dates, while their previous album marked a return to the Top 20—setting the stage for an even bigger chapter ahead.
To mark their 20th anniversary, the band have now confirmed two landmark shows in February 2027, set to play to around 33,000 fans across one celebratory weekend. It’s a full-circle moment for a band whose journey began with humble beginnings in London.
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime moment for us,” says Stride. “One of the first gigs we ever played together was at Wembley Youth Club… so the fact we now get to play Wembley Arena feels completely mad in the best possible way.”
With a packed festival schedule also on the horizon—including appearances alongside McFly—and a series of intimate in-store performances celebrating the album’s release, Scouting For Girls are making it clear that their story is far from finished.
If anything, These Are The Good Days feels less like a retrospective and more like a celebration of the now—one that invites fans old and new to sing along every step of the way.
