False Advertising and Love Rarely will support the band in November.
Arcane Roots have announced their biggest headline show to date, taking over London’s Here at Outernet on 11th November.
The show follows the band’s sold-out warm-up dates in Milton Keynes and Brighton ahead of appearances at 2000trees and ArcTanGent this summer, and will be their only London headline performance of 2026. Support will come from False Advertising and Love Rarely.
Alongside the live announcement, the band have also revealed plans for a special Bandcamp-only ‘A Wave, Across The Sea’ EP, featuring three alternate endings to their comeback single.
The first variation, ‘A Wave, Across The Sea [Hands Of God]’, will be sent as a free download to fans who purchase advance tickets for the Outernet show, while a second track will later be shared with members of the band’s mailing list and Discord community.
Released earlier this year, ‘A Wave, Across The Sea’ marked Arcane Roots’ first new music since 2018.
Speaking about the alternate versions, vocalist Andrew Groves said the song was shaped across years of upheaval, from lockdowns and protests to volcanic eruptions in Iceland.
“Thematically, this brought forward a concept; if we all felt something strongly enough, could we bring it into physical existence?” he explains. “We’re all aware of the ideals of spreading peace & love throughout the world but what if that feeling was one of division instead?”
“Each ending explores these as a different choice. A split in the narrative, for you to explore as you will.”

As Bleachers prepare to release their fifth album ‘Everyone For Ten Minutes’, Jack Antonoff reflects on a decade of slow-burn growth, the chaos of modern life, the power of community and why making music that tries to please everyone is “a failure of imagination”.
