Bleachers are back in motion, rolling out their new single “Dirty Wedding Dress” — a track that folds all the band’s familiar heart‑on‑sleeve energy into something raw, romantic, and beautifully frayed at the edges. It lands ahead of their fifth studio album, everyone for ten minutes, due 22 May via Dirty Hit, and follows the shimmering recent single “you and forever.”
You can dive into the new track here, and pre‑order the album here.
The release arrives alongside the first wave of dates for a North American tour that kicks off in June before stretching into September and October. True to form, Bleachers are going big: the run includes a five‑night headline residency in Los Angeles, a testament to the band’s ever‑growing live reputation. Fan pre‑sale opens Wednesday 18 March, with general sale from Friday 20 March. A dollar from every ticket will support The Ally Coalition, helping LGBTQ+ youth.
Last month’s return single “you and forever” set the tone — an infectious, widescreen pop moment paired with an Alex Lockett visual starring Margaret Qualley. A mesmerising live version, filmed at Electric Lady Studios by Gabe Dreschler, followed shortly after, capturing the band in their natural habitat: locked‑in, luminous, and joyfully unguarded.
The upcoming album promises to be a culmination of everything Bleachers have been building toward — a record shaped by six musicians who’ve spent a lifetime obsessed with bands, now hitting their collective stride. Expect harmony‑rich folk‑rock, glossy pop‑soul, and that unmistakable New Jersey brass‑kissed swagger. It’s an album that peers into the shadows but ultimately chooses hope, connection, and the thrill of being alive.

Fronted by Jack Antonoff, a thirteen‑time Grammy winner and one of modern pop’s most quietly omnipresent architects, Bleachers have carved out a devoted following since their 2014 debut Strange Desire. Their self‑titled 2024 album marked a creative high point, earning praise from Rolling Stone for its “spiritual ecstasy” and from NME for its triumphant portrait of the band’s tight musical bond. That era closed with a sold‑out world tour and their biggest headline show yet at Madison Square Garden.
Now, with “dirty wedding dress” and a new album on the horizon, Bleachers are gearing up for their next chapter — one that feels bigger, brighter, and more emotionally charged than ever.
