The announcement comes after Working Men’s Club recently returned with ‘Widow’, the first single from the group’s forthcoming second album ‘Fear Fear’, which comes out on July 15 via Heavenly.

Last week saw the band play string of shows at SXSW 2022 in Austin, Texas. Following their newly-confirmed London concert, Working Men’s Club will embark on a run of European dates throughout April and May.

Speaking about the upcoming ‘Fear Fear’, Working Men’s Club frontman Syd Minsky-Sargeant discussed the record’s creation and themes in a statement.

“The first album [relased in 2020] was mostly a personal documentation lyrically,” he explained. “This is a blur between personal and a third-person perspective of what was going on.”

Minsky-Sargeant continued: “I like the contrast of it being happy, uplifting music and really dark lyrics. It’s not a minimal record, certainly compared to the first one. That’s because there’s been a lot more going on that needed to be said.”

In a five-star review of Working Men’s Club’s self-titled debut, NME wrote: “Cycling through the conflicting emotions that come from living in a society that’s set itself on fire, ‘Working Men’s Club’ is an attention-demanding debut that couldn’t have come at a better time.

“Hope, despair, destruction and the desire for new beginnings, their chaotic energy makes perfect sense in these strange times.”
