Dry Cleaning have announced their new album 'Secret Love' and a major London headline show
Dry Cleaning will perform at the O2 Academy Brixton.
Dry Cleaning are set to release their third studio album, 'Secret Love', on 9th January 2026.
Produced by Cate Le Bon, the album's announcement comes alongside the release of its first single, 'Hit My Head All Day', accompanied by a visualiser featuring choreography by dance duo BULLYACHE.
Florence Shaw explains: "The song is about manipulation of the body and mind. The lyrics were initially inspired by the use of misinformation on social media by the far right. There are powerful people that seek to influence our behaviour for their own gain; to buy certain things, to vote a certain way. I find it hard to read people’s intentions and decide who to trust, even in everyday life. It’s easy to fall under the influence of a sinister stranger who seems like a friend."
To celebrate 'Secret Love', Dry Cleaning will perform at the O2 Academy Brixton on 22nd April 2026, marking their largest headline show to date. Tickets for the event go on sale on 3rd October.
