BACK TO THE FUTOUR // SPRING 2026
“Having been left with no option other than to pull out of a long-run support tour, our winter became a bit of a wasteland, We wanted to get back to working as a headline touring band, hence our Back To The FuTour was born. We are delighted to have Death Trails and All Ears Avow joining us – two bands we love working with, who we know our fans will love too.” MILLIE MANDERS | NOVEMBER 2025

Millie Manders and The Shutup’s cross-genre punk rock has become increasingly hard to ignore over recent years. With main stage appearances at such notable festivals as Slam Dunk, Beautiful Days and Rebellion, and extensive support from the likes of BBC Introducing, Radio X and national press, the last two years have propelled the band into the public conscience and the music industry at large.
Fronted by Millie Manders, whose staggering vocal dexterity backed by grinding guitars and irresistible horns has huge pop appeal, their lyrics deliberate on themes of loss, betrayal, anxiety, heartbreak and bitterness, anger, environmental catastrophe and political unrest. With a conscience that ensures zero plastic wrapping on all merchandise and that limited edition artwork and clothing is sold to help raise money for charities, Millie Manders and The Shutup are striving to make a difference whilst keeping us uplifted and brilliantly entertained.
Their live shows are renowned for their power and contagious energy and 2026 sees MMATSU looking to release their eagerly anticipated third album.
