“We took a year off ’cause I needed to get my nails did, and now we’re itching to get back out there and play live”, says Sleaford Mods’ Jason Williamson. “We released a new single Megaton last week, it’s an absolute banger so we’re buzzing to play that live for the first time. Who knows, we might have a few more new tracks to drop by then. Either way, it’s been a while since we toured, and we’re gagging for it.”
Megaton, the band’s first new material since the release of 2023 album UK Grim, is available to stream now. Proceeds from the song are going to War Child, a commitment the band have deepened with this tour by partnering with PLUS1 to give £1 (1€ for Eire dates) from every ticket sold to the charity.
“We’re incredibly grateful to Sleaford Mods for their continued generosity and support,” explained War Child’s Live Music Lead Clare Sanders-Wright. “Every ticket sold will directly support our work protecting, educating, and standing up for children affected by war, and we can’t thank them and their team enough for standing with us.”
The video for Megaton was directed by artist and photographer Nick Wapplington and was shot, guerilla-style, on location at Speaker’s Corner in Hyde Park, London.
