South Arcade – return with their new single ‘F.A.M.O.U.S’

Riding a wave that shows no signs of slowing down, South Arcade return with their new single F.A.M.O.U.S, out now via BKM Artists in partnership with Atlantic US. Listen to F.A.M.O.U.S. 

Fans have been lucky enough to have a taste of the track live, with the band performing F.A.M.O.U.S at a run of festivals in Europe, as well as Summer Sonic in Japan last month. The band continue to tease what is yet to come as they release their third single of the year with their signature Y2K energetic sound. F.A.M.O.U.S follows on from previous singles DEADMEAT and SUPERMAN, which was their biggest streaming debut to date. 

Speaking of F.A.M.O.U.S, the band said, “It feels like everyone around you sometimes has an opinion on how you could be ‘bettering’ yourself or what you do. People love to chime in and tell you their negative opinions of you but when you strip it back, it always comes from a place of their insecurity. This song is essentially a big F you to outside fickle opinions. This track is basically saying ‘what have you got to lose’ and go for it – if you’ve got something different or an ‘edge’, make that your strength and leave those types of people behind.”

South Arcade have made 2026 the year they became impossible to ignore. Across their catalog, South Arcade have generated nearly 200 million global streams and 277 million+ YouTube views, alongside a combined social following of over 1.8 million and more than 1 million monthly Spotify listeners. The band has sold over 40,000 tickets across the UK and EU. The band has racked up over 10,000 plays and 35 million impressions across UK and EU radio to date. On BBC Radio 1 alone, they’ve notched 420+ plays, 5 playlist singles, an appearance at flagship live event Big Weekend, and slots on Radio 1 stages at multiple UK festivals, alongside 3 singles premiered as Radio 1’s ‘Hottest Record’.

It’s been a huge year of touring for the four-piece, with their first-ever Australian headline tour, a run supporting 5 Seconds Of Summer across EU and UK arenas, a string of summer festival dates across Europe including the main stage at Download, Warped Tour and  the Summer School Tour in the US. The band will close out this run of momentum with their biggest headline show to date, a now sold-out night at the iconic O2 Academy Brixton in London on February 25th 2027. There’s just no stopping them…
