Fickle Friends live at Thekla

Fickle Friends, the Brighton-based indie pop band known for their vibrant synth-pop sound, are back after a brief hiatus with new music and a summer of festivals and live dates ahead. Following their acclaimed albums You Are Someone Else (2018) and Are We Gonna Be Alright? (2022), the band took a break in 2023 to reset and returned in late 2024 with fresh energy, releasing singles like Feral and Dream.
In 2025, Fickle Friends have continued their comeback with a string of new singles, including the shimmering Swoon and infectious Happier, showcasing a refined, emotionally-charged sound that blends nostalgic synths with lyrical depth. The response has been electric—the band sold out their first London show back from hiatus in just five minutes, a clear sign that their fanbase is as loyal and hungry as ever. With a third album announcement just around the corner, Fickle Friends are gearing up for a landmark year—back and better than ever.
