The Molotovs Join Yungblud’s 2026 Arena Tour as New Dates Announced
Fresh off a triumphant headline set at Camden’s Electric Ballroom, The Molotovs are heading for even bigger stages. The sibling-led band will join Yungblud on his massive 2026 UK arena tour, with new dates just added in Sheffield, Liverpool, and Belfast due to overwhelming demand.
The band—Matthew and Issey Cartlidge, aged just 17 and 19—will bring their high-energy sound to arenas across the country next spring, alongside The Warning, as Yungblud continues his ascent as one of Britain’s defining rock acts.
The Molotovs’ inclusion comes as they prepare to release their third single, ‘Rhythm Of Yourself’, via Marshall Records on Friday 31st October. Produced by Jason Perry at Marshall Studios and backed by ‘Johnny Don’t Be Scared’ (recorded at Paul Weller’s Black Barn Studios), the track will be available on white vinyl and all digital platforms.
The single follows their two previous No. 1 physical singles, ‘More More More’ and ‘Today’s Gonna Be Our Day’, and paves the way for their debut album, Wasted On Youth, set for release on 30th January 2026.

Camden’s Electric Energy
Last week, The Molotovs packed out Camden’s iconic Electric Ballroom for a sweat-drenched, mosh-filled celebration of raw, youthful rock energy. Their hour-long set included soon-to-be-released tracks like ‘Urbia’ and ‘My Metallic Wife’, as well as favourites like ‘More More More’ and ‘Popstar’.
Among the crowd? James McCartney, son of Sir Paul and a fan of the band. It’s a sign of the heavy hitters watching this young duo rise.
With over 600 gigs played since 2020 and shout-outs from Green Day and Paul Weller, The Molotovs are carving a place among UK rock’s most exciting new names.
