Wigan based rising stars THE LILACS have revealed details for their upcoming EP ‘The 395 (To Forever)‘, set for release 21st March 2025. Pre-order HERE.

Throughout 2024, the quartet have continued to remain on the live circuit, with several sold out headline performances to kick start the year, followed by a range of festival appearances including Isle of Wight, Tramlines, Truck and Y Not.

Set to conclude their year with a massive sold out performance at Manchester’s O2 Ritz, fans can expect to hear new music for the first time on the night.

The brand new single ‘Where’ve You Been Hiding‘ is available across digital streaming platforms HERE.

In a press release, frontman Ollie Anglesea said “We’re absolutely buzzing to release ‘Where’ve You Been Hiding’. It’s been a while since we last released music, so we’re overjoyed to put this one out into the world. We’ve definitely turned things up a notch with this track and almost it feels like the start of a new era of The Lilacs. The song explores relationships in today’s world, where media, politics, and everything in between can really complicate things.

Guitarist Sam Birchall adds “We’re buzzing to release ‘The 395 (To Forever)’, a record filled with the tales of our youth—late nights, lost loves, and growing up in the north. These songs are our memories, but in music form, and we hope the fans will resonate with them. This is by far our best work to date and we’re proud to have put this out to the world. We’ve definitely turned things up a notch with this record and almost it feels like the start of a new era of The Lilacs.”

1st November – Manchester, O2 Ritz (SOLD OUT)
