Scouting For Girls are turning up the nostalgia with the 15th anniversary reissue of their Platinum-certified second album Everybody Wants To Be On TV, out April 25th. Originally released in 2010, the album featured the chart-topping single This Ain’t A Love Song, which spent two weeks at #1 and helped propel the album to a Top 10 debut and over 300,000 UK sales.
To mark the milestone, the band is releasing special edition picture disc and zoetrope vinyl versions of the album — a collector’s dream, with only 1,000 signed copies available. The anniversary release will be followed by an extensive headline tour across the UK and Ireland in early 2026, where fans can expect to hear hits from the album alongside fan favourites and the band’s greatest hits.
Frontman Roy Stride reflected on the occasion: “It feels surreal celebrating 15 years since Everybody Wants To Be On TV. I still remember when This Ain’t A Love Song hit number one! We’ve pulled out all the stops for this reissue — the vinyl looks amazing. And I can’t wait for the tour. It’s going to be a giant Scouting singalong every night!”
The band is also teasing what’s next, with a limited-edition ‘Wolfcub Edition’ lanyard pre-order for their upcoming eighth studio album, expected in 2026. The exclusive lanyard gives fans early access to unreleased tracks, behind-the-scenes content, and a presale window for tour tickets — available from April 30th. General sale starts May 2nd.
Their last two tours sold out in record time, with standout shows at London’s Roundhouse and O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire. The momentum continued with their latest album The Place We Used To Meet, which became their highest-charting release in a decade.
Whether you're a long-time fan or discovering them for the first time, 2026 promises to be a big year for Scouting For Girls — and the countdown starts now. Don’t miss your chance to sing along once more.
