Six months on from the start of the Ad Astra tour, Northern Irish rockers Ash returned to London’s Scala having once again sold out the King’s Cross venue. At a mere 34 years young, Ash’s line up of Tim Wheeler (vocals and guitar), Mark Hamilton (bass) and Rick McMurray (drums) remain the same as day one, but the act that follows is not just resting on their early career, but an indie rock tour de force through a career that has never lulled.

Although it's 2026, it seems like 2006 with new releases from Goldfinger, New Found Glory, The Ataris, and Story of the Year. Story of the Year will be launching their 8th studio album, "A.R.S.O.N.," on February 13th, 2025, featuring some of their heaviest work to date.
