SPRINTS are back and ready to open a new chapter in 2026 with full force. Vocalist and guitarist Karla Chubb, bassist Sam McCann, drummer Jack Callan and guitarist Zac Stephenson will present their "ALL THAT IS OVER" tour this spring, named after their second studio album, which takes the band's uncompromising spirit to a new level and will be released on September 26, 2025 via City Slang.

In recent years, the Dubliners have evolved from an up-and-coming underground sensation to one of the most exciting forces on the alternative music scene. After their debut "Letter To Self" (2024) was acclaimed by critics and audiences alike, extensive and sold-out tours of the UK, Europe and the USA followed, as well as appearances on major festival stages. But behind the scenes, it was a year of upheaval: a line-up change, personal separations and the constant confrontation with a politically and socially torn world shaped the path to the new album. "All That Is Over" was created in the midst of these tensions. It was written in tour buses, at sound checks and in the studio, while outside the news was dominated by wars, environmental disasters and social division. Produced by Daniel Fox (Gilla Band) at the legendary La Frette Studio near Paris, the record combines the band's raw, direct live energy with a new depth and stylistic range. Songs like "Descartes", inspired by philosophical questions and social criticism, or the dark "Abandon", which deals with urban alienation and personal loss, show SPRINTS as astute observers and uncompromising narrators of their time.
The "ALL THAT IS OVER" tour now brings this intensity to the stage. Just recently, as support for Fontaines D.C., SPRINTS gave a foretaste of what they will present in full in 2026. In seven German cities this spring, SPRINTS will unleash their mixture of unbridled punk energy, urgent alternative rock and atmospheric outbursts. Those who attend a concert can look forward to a show that is as cathartic as it is rousing - a musical reckoning with self-doubt, social narrow-mindedness and the fear of standing still. SPRINTS' music is urgent, honest and uncompromising, and live it unleashes a force that is impossible to escape. Fans should secure their tickets quickly so as not to miss this show.
