Nothing But Thieves

Like almost no other band from the UK, Nothing But Thieves have left their mark on the 2010s with their highly expressive alternative rock and forged a sound fit for the biggest stadiums. The five-piece from Southend-on-Sea has exerted an unparalleled pull on the British rock scene virtually from day one with singles like “Wake Up Call” (2014) and “Itch” (2015), and to this day has amassed hundreds of millions of streams on relevant platforms. From their debut album *Nothing But Thieves* (2015)—which has aged magnificently—to the acclaimed concept album *Broken Machine* (2017), which addresses overcoming drug addiction, all the way to their number-one long-runner on the UK Albums Charts, *Dead Club City* (2023), the group consistently delivers modern works with the potential to become classics. On offer: massive grooves driven by bass and drums, passionate vocals in symbiosis with high-energy guitars, and epic melodies that soar into the cosmos. They’re bringing fresh material, such as their new single “A Different Kind Of Happiness” (2026), to their long-overdue Reeperbahn debut this year.
