RISING UK BAND SOUTH ARCADE RELEASE NEW SINGLE “DEADMEAT”

About to embark on a massive summer of festivals, shows, and more music, South Arcade are back with their latest single, “DEADMEAT”. The track is available now on all streaming platforms via BKM in partnership with Atlantic Records.

Speaking of the new single, the band said, “We went into writing wanting to tell a sort of modern Romeo and Juliet story (but with a less depressing ending), and we left with DEADMEAT. It has this reckless optimism about it where the two characters’ worlds shouldn’t really overlap but they’ve found each other regardless – they want to escape all of that noise, steal a car and leave town. It had this ‘us against the world’ energy that we loved.”

The energetic track shows a playful side to the band while keeping their signature sound. The four-piece have revealed the single ahead of a summer packed with festivals, including playing the mainstage at Download, Rock 4 People, and TRNSMT before heading to the US later this month for the Idobi Summer School tour and the iconic Vans Warped Tour (see full itinerary below). Recently finishing the huge UK and European arena tour with global band 5 Seconds Of Summer, South Arcade teased fans with “DEADMEAT,” building huge anticipation for the release.

“DEADMEAT” follows on from the last single “SUPERMAN,” which was released in April and became the band’s biggest streaming debut to date, with over 1.5 million streams on Spotify alone. The band recently announced their biggest headline show to date, playing the iconic O2 Academy Brixton in London on February 25, 2027, marking a huge milestone in their already incredibly impressive career. The last few remaining tickets are available HERE.

Named one of “the most exciting rising artists to watch in 2026” by Alternative Press,  South Arcade is conquering all areas of the industry, amassing over 180 million global streams, building a social following of over 2.2 million fans across socials, and completely selling out their first-ever North American headline tour last fall. Hot off the heels of EPs PLAY! and 2005, both championed relentlessly by BBC Radio 1 across multiple shows, South Arcade have made the kind of noise that’s impossible to ignore. With standout cuts FEAR OF HEIGHTS, Supermodels, and Drive Myself Home turning heads, they’re taking over the alternative scene, and the loudest chapters are still to come…

South Arcade are Harmony Cavelle (vocals), Harry Winks (guitar), Ollie Green (bass), and Cody Jones (drums).
