The 2010 album famously spawned the No.1 single This Ain’t A Love Song, and cemented the band’s place in British pop history with over 300,000 domestic sales.

Roy said: “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.”
