Ashnikko has announced her second album 'Smoochies', shares 'Trinkets' video and confirms 2026 UK tour

Ashnikko is set to release her second album, 'Smoochies', on 17th October. Alongside the announcement, she has shared the video for new track 'Trinkets' and confirmed UK headline dates for February 2026.

'Trinkets' premiered on Radio 1 as Jack Saunders' Hottest Record. Directed by Léa Esmaili, the video situates Ashnikko in an art nouveau, candy‑coloured world filled with doll parts, ashtrays, D&D dice, and keychains of men, leaning into maximalism as an aesthetic.

Ashnikko says :"My little princess boys, love being trinkets, hanging off my bag, looking up at me with smiles on their faces, swinging as I walk.”

Described as her most personal body of work to date, 'Smoochies' follows 2023’s 'WEEDKILLER'. Ashnikko will bring the SMOOCHIES Tour to the UK in February 2026, opening at Glasgow’s O2 Academy before stops in Manchester and Dublin, and a London date at O2 Academy Brixton. Tickets are available on pre‑sale from 19th August at 10am, with general sale on 21st August. Exclusive pre‑sale access will be given to those who pre‑order 'Smoochies' by 3pm on 18th August.
