The Lathums new album, Matter Does Not Define, is set for release prior to March and April 2025 Tour, with big nights in Manchester, Glasgow and London. The news of the follow-up to their two, consecutive UK No.1 albums comes hot on the heels of this week’s surprise single, Stellar Cast. The Lathums have just announced their headline gig in The Limelight Belfast on Thursday 27th March 2025.

The Lathums have revealed news of their new album and touring plans for 2025, following this week’s release of new music with ‘Jamaican Ale-fuelled’ single, Stellar Cast. With two, consecutive No.1 Official UK Album Chart albums already to their name, Matter Does Not Define is set for release on Fri 7 March 2025 and sees the opening credits roll on the four-piece’s third, thrilling season.

Having seen out a summer of landmark shows, inclusive of domestic and overseas main stage festival appearances, not least their own SOLD OUT 11,500-capacity gig in the sunshine at Wigan’s Robin Park, the four-piece are set to bring the love once again on one of their biggest tours to date, opening at Barrowland Ballroom, Glasgow on Thu 13 March 2025.

Announcing details of the follow-up to 2022’s chart-topping second album, From Nothing To A Little Bit more, the grown-up and restlessly prolific Lathums have revealed a 12-song track listing for Matter Does Not Define. Described by frontman, Alex Moore as ‘real’ and ‘raw’, the album also features energetic, instant fan favourite No Directionreleased earlier this year.

Moore continues to say: “We’ve had a lot of fun creating album three. Though only a couple of years have passed since our last album, it feels like we’ve matured immensely as musicians. One of my favourite lyrics on the album is from track three, ‘Reflections of Lessons Left’. “When will they learn that it’s not matter that defines a being? It’s the reflections of the lessons they leave” was actually the first lyric I wrote for this album, long before we even started planning it properly. It felt powerful and important to the times we live in, and I wanted it to resonate with others. That lyric became the catalyst for the whole album, setting its tone and message.

“Recording ‘Matter Does Not Define’ felt like coming full circle. We worked on it with our good friend and old college tutor, John Kettle, which brought us back to our roots. The process felt organic, without the pressure to cater to industry demands, and it allowed us to really explore creatively. It was like being back in college, free to make music without constraints. Like, (drummer) Duz even plays a frying pan in ‘Stellar Cast’, a random touch you might not expect. Album three is real, raw, and everything we hoped it would be.”
