“I’d put Jamie Hall’s winding mega riffs up against anyone in rock. And he can fricking sing like a bad ass at the same time. Wow.” – Stone Gossard (Pearl Jam) “With Nets To Catch The Wind, Tigercub feel primed to stake their well-earned claim on a larger stage” – The Arts Desk “If Muse are looking for a worth heir to their throne- and let’s face it, 30 years in the may well be- they’d be fools to consider anyone other than Tigercub” – Classic Rock “Tigercub prove once again that they are an absolute force to be reckoned with. One of the most potent voices (and pedalboards) in guitar music of recent years” -Louder Than War “Brighton’s premier band when it comes to a howling blend of colossal rock music, hit with the force of a ten tonne truck” – Clunk Magazine 27th April, 2026: 9am – Loosegroove Records’ UK rock trio Tigercub have announced a UK headline tour following the overwhelming response to their acclaimed new album Nets to Catch the Wind. Arriving at the start of what promises to be a landmark year for the band, the news follows their sold-out headline show at London’s KOKO, which Louder Than War hailed as “triumphant.” This announcement comes today alongside their Maida Vale session BBC Radio 1’s Rock Show with Dan P Carter. Fresh from their biggest London headline performance to date, Tigercub are emerging at the forefront of a new wave of UK rock acts building serious international momentum. Nets to Catch the Wind has earned widespread support from Clash Magazine, Kerrang!, Classic Rock, Clunk Magazine, The Arts Desk, BBC Radio 1 Rock Show (Maida Vale), Radio X, Forever Loud, Marvin Magazine, and Louder Than War, among others. The album also achieved #7 Rock & Metal Chart, #8 Independent Album Breakers Chart, and #23 Independent Album Chart. With a headline show at New York’s Gramercy Theatre set for 13 May and a major UK tour now announced, 2026 is shaping up to be the Year of the Tiger. Artist pre-sale: Tuesday 28th April – 9am BST General on-sale: Thursday 30th April – 9am Local Time “Stone Gossard spotted something worth backing. He wasn’t wrong” – Amped Magazine “TIGERCUB are at the forefront of alt-rock bands leading the new wave of sound that’s impacting the rock scene” – Out of Age “Best heard on full volume” – 13th Floor Tracked over nine days at the legendary Rockfield Studios in Wales (home to iconic recordings by Queen, Rush, and Oasis) Nets To Catch The Wind captures Tigercub at their most cinematic, visceral, and unrestrained. Many core takes were captured live, foregrounding the raw chemistry of vocalist/guitarist Jamie Hall, bassist Jimi Wheelwright, and drummer James Allix, and resulting in an album that feels both immediate and transcendent. Produced by Tom Dalgety (Royal Blood, Ghost, Pixies), the record pushes the trio into expansive, textured territories, exploring dynamics, space, and emotion with more depth than ever before. The album also expands Tigercub’s sonic world with a co-write from Dom Craik of Nothing But Thieves and a spoken-word performance from Neil Fallon of Clutch. Loosegroove Records co-founder and Pearl Jam guitarist Stone Gossard played a pivotal creative role in shaping the band’s future. Known for sculpting genre-defining rock music for over three decades, Gossard offered sharp insight and grounding perspective throughout the process. “Stone was there every step of the way,” Hall says. “He helped us zoom out and see the bigger picture when we were lost in the details.” Gossard adds: “I’d put Jamie Hall’s winding mega riffs up against anyone in rock. And he can fricking sing like a bad ass at the same time. Wow.” Frontman Jamie Hall describes the philosophical core of the album with striking clarity: “Our last record, The Perfume of Decay, was our midnight confession. A gothic heavy-metal record steeped in anxiety and noise. Nets To Catch The Wind is the dawn that follows…the white light record set in the space between dreaming and waking. We built whole worlds out of darkness. This record is about learning to live in the light even when you know it will not last.” TOUR POSTER |
