The Charlatans announce We Are Love release date

The Charlatans are set to release their new album on October 31. The British rock band have confirmed that We Are Love, their 14th studio album, will be released later this year, with the title track being billed as a statement of intent for their new era. Frontman Tim Burgess has likened the single to an "open top car ride in the credits of your favourite movie driving along the coast to somewhere amazing". The band's long-awaited new album was recorded in Rockfield in Wales and at their Big Mushroom space in Middlewich, Cheshire. Tim has revealed that hauntology and psychogeography were two of the biggest inspirations behind the new record. He shared: "The whole idea of hauntology and psychogeography is represented by us going back to Rockfield, where so much history has happened for The Charlatans." We Are Love is the band's first new album since 2017's Different Days, and Tim, 58, relished the experience of returning to Rockfield after so many years away. He said: "That was important as a way of honouring every member who's played in the band. So we're honouring ourselves, our past, feeling that energy and reincarnating it, doing something fresh, brand new." The Charlatans have also announced plans for a UK tour in December, when they'll play headline shows in Leeds, Stoke, Bath, London, Manchester and Glasgow. Tickets for the upcoming tour are set to go on general sale on Friday (18.07.25). The Charlatans have been working on their new album "for a few years" and Tim has admitted that the title track "really stuck out". Speaking to NME, Tim explained: "It's funny how these things work out. It was an early song – we've been writing the album for a few years – and we recorded six, and then this one really stuck out. We kind of left the other five alone and continued on this path. "It was a good beacon of something that we were searching for – something that felt new, something that felt very believable to us."

Love music merch? This one-off market by Tim Burgess is a must

Seen the band, got the T-shirt? This summer it might be time to switch that running order around. Later this month, in a surprise change to festival protocols, a new event in Manchester will put the lowly merchandising stall — that impromptu shop at the back of the concert hall where fans can buy precious T-shirts and posters — on the main stage. Merch Market, organised by the Charlatans' lead singer, Tim Burgess, takes place on Sunday May 25, from 11am until late, at a number of venues across Manchester and offers bands and solo artists the opportunity to sell their merchandise directly to fans, without having to give venues a cut of the sales. There will be DJ sets, live performances and onstage interviews

Tim Burgess, Graham Coxon and Lars Ulrich join musicians paying tribute to Marianne Faithfull

Tim Burgess, Graham Coxon and Lars Ulrich are among the slew of musicians who have paid tribute to Marianne Faithfull. The 'Swinging Sixties' icon's passing aged 78 was announced on Thursday (30.01.25) by her spokesperson, prompting an outpouring of grief on social media. Some of the earliest tributes came from The Rolling Stones, with Marianne's former lover Sir Mick Jagger and his bandmates Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood hailing her as everything from a 'wonderful friend' to someone they will miss forever. Charlatans frontman Tim Burgess, led other tributes, saying on X: 'Farewell Marianne Faithfull. I first heard 'Broken English' on a school trip in 1980 and it blew my mind. 'She was such a free spirit and true talent. We met in Amsterdam in 1994 and spent an afternoon chatting and in between interviews – going to listen to 'Why D'Ya Do It', right now.' Marianne's 1979 album 'Broken English' was a smash with critics and fans, which earned her a Grammy nomination for best female rock vocal performance. Blur bassist Graham Coxon said online about Marianne: 'You're the only person that said the things I really needed to hear at a time when I really needed to hear them. You gave me the confidence/permission to 'fly' and to shake off self consciousness/doubt – you told me I was beautiful when I felt ugly – 4eva in your debt.' And Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich paid tribute as Marianne provided guest vocals on his metal band's 1997 track 'The Memory Remains', which has become a staple of the group's live set. He said online: 'Thank you, Marianne… For the good times, For your kindness For the great stories, For your fearlessness… and the biggest Thank You and F*** Yeah for your incredible and unique contribution to our music, and for always being so willing to join us in performing it… and partake in the ensuing shenanigans! Rest in Peace.' Actor James Dreyfus, who worked with Marianne when she made a guest appearance on BBC sitcom 'Absolutely Fabulous' as God, opposite fellow 1960s icon Anita Pallenberg as the Devil. He said on X: 'RIP Marianne Faithfull. Was lucky enough to work with her on Ab Fab. She was absolutely lovely… .' Broadcaster Tony Blackburn added on X: 'Sorry to hear that 69's singer Marianne Faithfull has died at the age of 78. She gave us some great songs to play. R.I.P.'
