A Decade of Grooves: The Journey to ‘Sunshine’

Jungle first burst onto the scene in 2014 with their self titled debut, ‘Jungle’, which earned a Mercury Prize nomination and introduced the world to their hypnotic, mid-tempo funk. They followed this with the lush, cinematic sounds of ‘For Ever’ (2018) and the high-energy, dance floor focused ‘Loving In Stereo’ (2021).

Their fourth album, ‘Volcano’ (2023), further cemented their status as modern soul icons, winning them the BRIT Award for Best British Group. Over the years, they have produced a string of global hits that have become staple anthems, including:

• ‘Busy Earnin’: Their breakout 2014 smash.
• ‘Cosurmyne’: A smooth, synth-heavy fan favourite from ‘For Ever’.
• ‘Keep Moving’: The upbeat, disco-infused lead single from ‘Loving In Stereo’.
• ‘Back On 74’: A viral sensation from ‘Volcano’ that dominated airwaves and social media

This consistent evolution has won them high-profile admirers across the industry. Notably, Noel Gallagher has frequently praised the group, once stating in an interview that Jungle are "fucking amazing" and one of the few modern bands he truly respects.

From Glastonbury to Global Arenas

The announcement follows a landmark year for the band’s live reputation. Their performance at Glastonbury 2024 was hailed as one of the weekend's absolute highlights: a masterclass in live production that transformed the West Holts stage into a massive, strobe-lit dance party. Critics praised the set for its seamless flow and the band’s ability to recreate their complex studio layers with organic, live energy.

Jungle will now take that energy to global arenas starting this September. The journey begins in North America with stops in major hubs such as Chicago, Toronto, New York, and Los Angeles.

By October, the tour moves to Europe, hitting cultural capitals including Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam, and Milan. The trio then returns home for a highly anticipated UK and Ireland leg:

• Dublin: 3Arena (November 18)
• Leeds: First Direct Arena (November 21)
• Cardiff: Utilita Arena (November 22)
• London: The O2 (November 25)
• Manchester: Co-op Live (November 27)
• Glasgow: OVO Hydro (November 28)

The world tour concludes in March 2027 with a run of dates across Australia, visiting Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth. Tickets are expected to move fast as the band continues their streak of selling out iconic venues worldwide.
