Good Neighbors on tour in Germany in March 2026

When a previously unknown duo from London uploaded a demo to TikTok in January 2024, little did they know that it would be the start of one of the most remarkable success stories in British pop in recent years. "Home" - as simple the title, as immediate the effect. An anthemic song, carried by a driving beat, sparkling synths and a message that seems almost old-fashioned in the noise of social media: sometimes "home" is not a place, but a person. Within a few weeks, the track had conquered millions of playlists, reached number 23 in the UK charts, climbed into the top 20 in Australia and made it into the Billboard Hot 100.
Behind Good Neighbors are Oli Fox from Essex and Scott Verrill from South London - two musicians who had already put their careers on hold before they started out together. Both had previously toured as solo artists, both had taken refuge in jobs that offered more frustration than security. In 2023, they decided to do everything differently: bigger gestures, bigger songs, more emotion instead of ironic distance. The result: a sound that evokes memories of MGMT, Passion Pit or Foster the People and yet remains unmistakably British - melancholic at its core, euphoric in form.
Their debut album "Blue Sky Mentality", which will be released on September 26, 2025, is the logical consequence of this new departure. Created on tour buses, in hotel rooms and at airport gates, it brings together 14 songs full of optimism, escapism and the conviction that even the most difficult topics are easier to bear if you share them with others. "If someone goes home happier after a concert than when they arrived, then we've done everything right," says Fox.
And indeed: Good Neighbors unfold their full radiance on stage. Anyone who has experienced them at the Reading & Leeds Festival speaks of a band that seeks to close ranks with the audience - not only musically, but also emotionally. Songs like "Keep It Up", the defiantly angry "Fuck it all" dressed in a bright pop guise, or the new "People Need People", a hymn to friendship and cohesion, are made for great moments: arms in the air, voices in the choir, the feeling of something bigger together.
In spring 2026, Good Neighbours will be bringing exactly this feeling to Germany: four concerts are on the agenda - intimate but no less euphoric evenings with a band that is no longer just a promise, but one of the most exciting pop discoveries of recent years.
