UK Tour April/May 2026
| The Dead Collective are set to release a debut single from a forthcoming EP – the single “Cracks” is released on the 6th of March, 2026. The band also embark on their first headline tour of the UK throughout April and May 2026. The Dead Collective are Oli Brown, Sam Wood and Wayne Proctor. Debut single “Cracks” showcases the band’s evocative blend of driving riffs with the soaring vocals of vocalist/guitarist Oli Brown. Vocally reminiscent of the likes of Jeff Buckley, Chris Cornell and Shannon Hoon, the musical references are numerous and deep, with hints of Muse or Royal Blood – a mash of atmospheric rock, alternative rock, soul and roots. A lyric video brings the first single to life HERE. The single is available to hear HERE. “Cracks” is a painfully raw track of honest self-reflection, descending into resentment and rage, lyrically unravelling the weight of being burdened by scars, shame, and a sense of failure. Intertwining between a delicate and haunting introspection and a cacophony of rage and fury. It’s explosive and cathartic while closing on a failing sense of acceptance.” The Dead Collective 2026 UK tour comes with support from Anchor Lane. https://anchorlanemusic.com/ and an acoustic set from Kim Jennett https://www.kimjennett.net/ Dates are as follows: Thurs 16th April 2026: The Crauford Arms, Milton Keynes, UK; Fri 17th April 2026: The Waterfront Studio, Norwich, UK; Sat 18th April 2026: Bodega, Nottingham, UK; Sun 19th April 2026: The Key Club, Leeds, UK; Thurs 23rd April 2026: The o2 Academy Islington 2, UK; Fri 24th April 2026: The Patriot, Crumlin, UK; Sat 25th April 2026: The Cobblestones, Bridgewater, UK; Sun 26th April 2026: The Junction, Plymouth, UK; Wed 29th April 2026: The Attic, Glasgow, UK; Thurs 30th April 2026: The Waterloo, Blackpool, UK; Fri 1st May 2026: The Flapper, Birmingham, UK; Sun 3rd May 2026: Live Rooms, Chester, UK.

About The Dead Collective: Vocalist/guitarist Oli Brown was initially recognised as a blues musician, winning several awards as Best Guitarist, Best Band, and Best Singer at the British Blues Awards. Through his solo career he toured and supported artists such as Jeff Beck, Joe Satriani, John Mayall and Buddy Guy. Craving a change in musical direction and a departure from his roots, Oli formed the rock band RavenEye. Starting out with a 5-track EP that caught the attention of Slash, who proceeded to bring the band on tour through Europe & the USA. The band went on to release their debut album ‘NOVA’ and took their incendiary live headline show across the USA, UK & Europe and South America. A European tour with KISS helped cement the band’s footprint in Europe, along with tours with Aerosmith, The Darkness, Halestorm, Blues Pills and major UK, US & European festivals, including Reading & Leeds, Download, Ramblin’ Man, Aftershock, and Louder Than Life. Oli used the time during the worldwide lockdown to reconnect with his own songwriting and lyrics. He formed The Dead Collective with guitarist Sam Wood and drummer Wayne Proctor. It all comes from a unique and honest place; the perfect blend of Oli’s origins and distinctive alternative roots sounds… Thus begins the next chapter… The Dead Collective. https://www.thedeadcollective.com/ |
