The announcement coincides with the release of anthemic, stadium-ready new single ‘Showtime’ via Island Records. Frontman, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Van McCann recorded the song in Los Angeles with multi-GRAMMY winning producer Dave Sardy (Oasis, LCD Soundsystem, Rolling Stones). Reflecting the sun-kissed optimism of LA and marking a bold evolution in Van’s songwriting, it is the first track to be released from Catfish and the Bottlemen’s soon to be announced fourth studio album.

Revered for their incendiary live performances, the release of ‘Showtime’ is matched by the news of two massive open-air headline shows. Announced exactly 900 days since the band last played in front of a live crowd, as well as performing at TK Maxx Presents Depot Live at Cardiff Castle, they will also head to Edinburgh Summer Sessions on August 24. The dates land among their must-see return to headline the Reading and Leeds Festival main stage.

Catfish and the Bottlemen’s arena-filling sonic outlook has cemented their place among Britain's most successful bands of the 21st Century. Signing to Island Records in 2014 after years of relentless touring, their debut LP The Balcony surged into the UK Top 10 and helped them scoop British Breakthrough Act at the BRITs before scoring their landmark #1 album with The Ride. Since then, they’ve amassed more than one billion streams, two million album sales and are closing in on 10 million single sales. On stage Van McCann possesses unique magnetic energy and is considered one of modern rock’s great live frontmen. In the five years since releasing their debut album, they’d sold more than half a million tickets, and have played to more than 2 million people.
