Only The Poets are one of the UK's most exciting rising alt-pop bands!
Hailing from Reading, the four-piece have built a devoted following through relentless touring, grassroots connection, and honest, confessional songwriting that speaks openly about love, loss, mental health, and emotional resilience - music that feels less like stories and more like shared experiences.
Their reputation as a must-see live act has been cemented through sold-out headline tours across Europe and the US, support slots for Lewis Capaldi, YUNGBLUD, Bastille, and The Wombats, and landmark London shows at venues including KOKO, Electric Ballroom, O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire, and Brixton Academy. In 2025 alone, they sold over 30,000 tickets across European tours and made a triumphant US live debut with sold-out shows in New York, Los Angeles, and Boston - growing from cult favourites to a genuine rising force without ever losing their grassroots spirit.
