Having achieved great things with last year’s album ‘Falling Out of View’ (#3 on Official Independent Albums Chart and #1 on the Official Independent Breakers Chart), The Bracknall are again raising the bar in 2026. Having already confirmed an autumn headline tour which includes their biggest London show to date at KOKO and a rammed summer festival schedule, the band now share the new single ‘Where I Belong’. It’s the first taste of their new EP ‘Waiting For The Lights To Change’, which follows on October 2nd.
When you’re thinking big, you need the tunes to match - and ‘Where I Belong’ instantly delivers. The Bracknall simultaneously hit everything that makes them special: the swampy wall-of-sound guitars; the balance between confronting their vulnerability with optimism for the future; and especially the kind of epic, singalong, radio-ready hooks on which they’ve built their reputation.
Vocalist/guitarist Jack Dacey says, “It’s just a tune about growing up where we grew up—and liking it, even if it’s a bit rough around the edges.”
As with the rest of the upcoming EP, The Bracknall recorded ‘Where I Belong’ during sessions in West Yorkshire with Richard McNamara of Embrace.
The ‘Waiting For The Lights To Change’ EP is now available to pre-order HERE. In addition to vinyl and CD formats as well as new merch items, the campaign also includes raffles to win special items from The Bracknall’s history: their #1 Independent Breakers Chart award; Jack’s Epiphone acoustic guitar signed by the band; and Jack’s own The Bracknall x Meyba long-sleeve football shirt, also signed by the band.
Completed by Jack’s brother Harry Dacey (guitar), Eddie Smith (guitar) and Dan Hurley (drums), The Bracknall’s festival season gets underway at This Feeling By The Sea on Saturday, where they hit the main stage at 8.50pm. They will once again team up with This Feeling to headline their stages at The Isle of Wight, Truck and Y NOT?, while other festival dates include The Great Escape and Bring The Noise.
