The Kooks stop by Portugal on their European tour
March 6, 2026, at Sagres Campo Pequeno
The Kooks have just announced their European tour, with a show scheduled for March 6, 2026, at Sagres Campo Pequeno. The band is now releasing their latest album, Never/Know, under their own name.
Tickets available on Friday, September 19, at 9 a.m., at the usual venues and at everythingisnew.pt
After 18 years of career, The Kooks decided the only way to move forward was to stop “painting over the cracks” and truly renew the band. By revisiting their history—lineup changes, ego battles, and sound shifts—only the foundations and core of the project remain, which Hugh Harris describes as “a shared vision of bringing joy and love through well-played, well-written music. It’s simple, almost childlike.”
After this analysis of who they are and what they want to do, the solution was to return to the spirit of their debut album—not in sound, but in energy and atmosphere. During the creation of their seventh album, Never/Know, Luke Pritchard kept the process secret, making the musicians believe they were just recording demos. So they captured the band in a state of “total and utter relaxation,” as Harris describes it, with room for experimentation, fun, and a touch of disorder.
“I think we were hiding from that a bit and making everything too easy,” Pritchard says of their previous albums. “Now I feel like we’ve regained our swagger by letting things happen and not making everything too perfect.”
