Sleeper to play their biggest UK tour since reforming

## The band will take their forthcoming sixth studio album, End Of The World, on the road next spring

Sleeper will play their biggest UK tour since reforming, with the band set to take their forthcoming sixth studio album, _End Of The World_, on the road across the UK in March and April 2027.

The announcement follows the release of Sleeper’s explosive new single and album title track, _End Of The World_, which introduces a new chapter for the band and for frontwoman Louise Wener as a songwriter. The album, released 12 February 2027, is a deeply personal collection of 10 songs that combines Sleeper’s instinct for huge melodies and anthemic choruses with a newfound emotional directness.

“I’m really looking forward to taking this album out on the road,” says Wener. “These new songs mean a lot to me, and I think they’re going to sound fantastic live. There’s something wonderful about finally playing them in a room with people and making that emotional connection with a crowd.”

Written and recorded between Paris and Manchester and produced by Joe Cross (The Courteeners, Hurts, Louis Tomlinson, The Slow Readers Club),_End Of The World_ moves through grief, regret, loneliness, heartbreak and renewal, ultimately becoming a record about finding the strength to let go and reclaim yourself.

Where 2019’s _The Modern Age_ marked Sleeper’s return to the studio and a reconnection with their identity as a band, _End Of The World_ captures an artist discovering what she has to say now. Despite its emotional weight, the album is sonically bold and euphoric, with Wener’s trademark earworm hooks and anthemic choruses running throughout.
