Only The Poets

"And I'd Do It Again" Album Tour.

These British alt-pop stars weren’t discovered overnight by some algorithm; instead, they’ve built a loyal community bit by bit through countless kilometers on tour, a close connection with their audience, and songs that don’t keep listeners at arm’s length. Tommy Longhurst, Andy “Roo” Burge, Clem Cherry, and Marcus Yates combine big hooks with open hearts, shimmering ’80s synths with modern pop power, and those moments when euphoria and vulnerability suddenly speak the same language.

With their debut album *And I’d Do It Again*, Only The Poets are now making a clear statement. Fourteen songs about heartbreak, jealousy, regret, hope, and emotional resilience—brilliantly produced, written with raw honesty, and performed by a band that knows how to bring intimacy to a large audience. Singles like “I Keep On Messing It Up,” “You Hate That I’m In Love,” “Emotionally Hungover,” and “Saké” showcase this blend of pop appeal, self-doubt, and a sense of liberation particularly clearly: everything feels personal, but never small.

The fact that Only The Poets have long since become more than just an insider’s tip is proven by sold-out tours in Europe and the U.S., support shows for Lewis Capaldi, Yungblud, Bastille, and The Wombats, as well as over 30,000 tickets sold on European tours in 2025. From grassroots clubs to a sold-out Brixton Academy—just three days after the album’s release—this band’s story is one of perseverance, community, and the good old promise that pop is at its strongest when it takes risks.

Now that promise comes to life on stage: anthemic, honest, wide awake—and with songs that aren’t just meant to be heard, but to be experienced together.

Tommy Longhurst: “Everything we’ve been through as a band has led us here. Would we change anything? Nothing. Every step shaped who we are.”
