beabadoobee launches fourth album 'Pylon' with new single 'Sun Has Set'; announces 2026 arena tour

beabadoobee has returned in spectacular style, having just confirmed that she’ll be dropping her fourth album, ‘Pylons’, on 18th September via Dirty Hit / Interscope Records - and, what’s more, the LP is set to feature a range of huge names, including Hayley Williams, TURNSTILE’s Brendan Yates, Deftones’ Chino Moreno, and The 1975’s Matty Healy and George Daniel. Phew!

The follow up to her 2024 UK number 1 album ‘This Is How Tomorrow Moves’, ‘Pylons’ will see Bea lean into a heavier, spikier sound, drawing on the influence of her heroes and contributors - among whom are also Pinegrove’s Evan Stephens Hall and Title Fight’s Shane Moran - to reflect on feelings of tour-induced disconnection and isolation.

Taking to Instagram to launch the news, Bea wrote that the record was “made and written in between tours and on tour, i missed home, i missed how people were and im still learning to accept the confusion within the uncertainty of being away.”

Inherently liminal, ‘Pylons’ began life as a series of diary entries; “a lot of the songs on this record are things I wish I could have said to someone,” Bea has noted, speaking about its lead single ‘Sun Has Set’. “This song has this petty tunnel vision - it’s like, I hate you. You’re gonna stay here and listen to how much I hate you. Because I never got to say that.”
