Overview
- Getdown Services said Wednesday that their second album, Massive Champion, arrives August 14 on Breakfast Records with pre-orders open.
- They released the preview single I Can't Die Like That following a first-ever Later... with Jools Holland performance of The Radiator, saying the new track explores how simple things get complicated.
- Benjamin Sadler and Joshua Law produced the album mostly at home and wrote much of it in green rooms and cars between tour stops.
- Summer shows include major festivals such as the Harry Styles–curated Meltdown, with a UK and Ireland headline run starting November 19 in Cardiff and closing with two Bristol Beacon dates on January 16–17.
- The 13-song set lists The Radiator, Poor Bannister and closer 600 Dance Lessons, and the band frames its lyrics as candid, self-pitying reflections with a cleaner musical focus.
