TX2 releases new single ‘Confession’

Summer UK / EU festival shows announced including Download, Rock Am Ring, Rock For People and more

Fast-rising alternative phenomenon TX2 has returned with a huge new anthem in the form of latest single, ‘Confession’, a deeply personal and cathartic track that sees bassist Corky stepping forward vocally alongside Evan Thomas for one of TX2’s most emotionally charged releases to date.

The release arrives ahead of a relentless run of UK and European festival appearances this summer, including Download Festival, Rock am Ring, Rock for People and many more.

‘Confession’ follows the release of TX2’s critically acclaimed debut album, End Of Us, which arrived in January earlier this year and further cemented the band’s status as one of alternative music’s most explosive new forces, earning them over 4.29 million followers across social media, more than 1 million monthly listeners on Spotify and a sold-out debut UK headline tour.

Speaking of the new single, Evan Thomas (TX2) shares, “I grew up religious, and as a queer person when I was growing up I struggled hard with my sexuality. I thought there was a demon in me and something was wrong. Then I realized the problem wasn’t me, it was religion directly conflicting with science and my attraction. Confession was my chance to regain that power I felt like I lost when I first realized I wasn’t straight. For Corky on the other hand, it’s much more. She spent even longer feeling guilty and trapped and this is her chance to let it out. This song is powerful to us.”

TX2 has spent years earning co-signs from scene veterans. Beartooth’s Caleb Shomo has publicly praised his “passion, hard work, and talent,” while his breakout collaborations continue to resonate across the alternative scene. “MAD,” featuring Ice Nine Kills’ Spencer Charnas, has generated tens of thousands of TikTok creations, and From First to Last joined him on “THIS ISN’T ABOUT DRUGS (I SWEAR),” further cementing his place among modern rock’s most disruptive voices.

His debut album, End Of Us (out now via Hopeless Records), brings together fan-favorite singles and new material into a fully realized statement. The record includes standout tracks like ‘the End Of Us’ featuring Black Veil Brides, “The Rain,” “HOSTAGE (they will not erase us),” “Feed” featuring DeathbyRomy, and “Nice Guy” featuring Ekoh, alongside additional collaborations with Magnolia Park and an instrumental version of “M.A.D.”

Beyond the music, TX2 has built something even more impactful: the X Movement, a Discord-based community where thousands of fans support each other through mental health struggles. He connects directly with fans through daily livestreams, stays after shows—sometimes for hours—to meet everyone he can, and keeps ticket prices accessible. Using his platform to advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and safer spaces in music, he’s become both a lightning rod and a lifeline.

TX2 has an extensive touring schedule for 2026. Having already completed a US headline tour and Australian tour with Rain City Drive and Melrose Avenue, TX2 is now currently on tour with Black Veil Brides before embarking on a major European festival run this summer including Download Festival, Rock Am Ring, Rock Im Park, Rock For People, NovaRock, Graspop, Jera On Air, and Vainstream. TX2 will also tour with Ice Nine Kills, Hollywood Undead and Catch Your Breath this year before kickstarting 2027 with ShipRocked.
