Dead Reynolds: Momentum, Mayhem, and Music That Doesn’t Stop

From new tunes to festival madness — here’s everything Dead Reynolds have been up to as we gear up for a massive year in 2026.

It’s been a wild few weeks in the Dead Reynolds camp — and though we’ve been a bit quiet on the blog, things have been far from still behind the scenes. From new music and mad gigs to festival announcements and a few surprises for next year. If you’ve missed what’s been going on, here’s your all-access catch-up on everything Dead Reynolds.

New Music, Same Fire 🔥

We kicked off this run with the release of our latest single “Hesitate” — and the reaction has been unreal. Huge thanks to everyone who’s streamed, shared, and shouted about it. The response from The Accidental Music Reviewer said it best: 

“A big and bouncy alt-rock anthem… impossible to shift from your head.”

We’ll take that!

Take a look at their full review 👇👇👇

Massive love too to Crystal Sound Studios and Jack Murphy for helping us bring the track to life (and keeping us sort-of under control during filming). If you haven’t caught the video yet, hit it up on YouTube — it’s got all the grit, attitude and Dead Reynolds chaos you’d expect.

🎸 Hitting the Road

Gig-wise, it’s been full throttle. We tore it up at The Six Six Bar in Cambridge with Austin Gold and Keep This Up — one of those nights where the energy was off the charts from start to finish. Then it was off to Cannock, where The Station crowd raised the roof alongside our new mates To Nowhere.

Every gig has been fire — and we can’t thank you enough for the energy, the noise, and the love you’ve brought to every single show.

And the party’s far from over…

🤘 Festival Fever

October and November were huge on the festival front. We smashed our slot opening the second stage at HRH X, surrounded by an unbelievable crowd and a stacked lineup. The buzz from that show was unreal — big love to everyone who caught our set and made it one to remember.

We also made waves in The Call Of The Wild Festival voting rounds — massive thanks to everyone who voted and helped us push forward. You legends make it all worth it.

And because we can’t sit still, we’re already booked for TowerRok Festival 2026 at Night Train Bradford — another one we’re seriously fired up for.

👕 Fresh Merch Incoming!

We’ve got some brand-new merch on the way — including fresh Dead Reynolds tees and our first-ever sweatbands (a new addition we’re buzzing about!).

They haven’t landed just yet, but they’re on their way — and we can’t wait for you to see them. Keep your eyes on our socials and mailing list for the official drop date because these are going to go fast once they land.

🚀 Big Plans for 2026

With new shows rolling in, a packed 2026 festival calendar, and more music in the pipeline — we’re gearing up for our biggest year yet. There’s new material cooking, new venues to hit, and maybe even a few surprises we can’t talk about… yet.

💿 Oh, and did we mention? There’s a brand-new Dead Reynolds album on the way in 2026. It’s already shaping up to be our biggest and boldest yet — watch this space.

We can’t thank you enough for the constant love, support, and madness you bring to every show. Keep your eyes on our socials for the next announcement — because the next chapter of Dead Reynolds is already in motion, and trust us, it’s going to be loud.

Until then, keep spinning Hesitate, crank it up loud, and we’ll see you out there soon.

💬 Drop us a comment or message if you’re coming to one of the December shows — we want to see your faces in the crowd!
