Runaway Club are a UK four-piece known for their blend of punk, rock and pop and high-energy, hook-driven songwriting, who all live together in Glastonbury, Somerset. Since launching just over a year ago, they have sold out their debut headline show at Bristol’s Thekla ahead of releasing any music, been named BBC Introducing South West Featured Artist, and supported Maggie Lindemann on her UK & European tour. Their debut EP is due for release in October 2026, preceded by singles “6 Weeks” and “Exist.”

Built on nothing but a strong live show and word of mouth, Runaway Club have become known for turning that reputation into sold-out rooms before a single track existed to stream. This October’s headline run — taking in Bristol, London, Newcastle, Birmingham and Manchester — is their biggest UK tour to date. It also marks a return to Bristol at The Fleece, one of the city’s best-loved independent venues, and another marker of how far the band’s local following has grown since that sell-out night at Thekla.

“The Fleece has always been one of our favourite rooms to play, and coming back to Bristol on this tour feels like closing a loop that started at Thekla. It’s going to be a big one.”
— Angel Mackintosh, Runaway Club
