MAN/WOMAN/CHAINSAW 

Announce Nine-Date UK Tour for May 2027 Featuring Their Biggest Venues Yet

Debut Album “Cannonball” out Now on Fiction Records

UK & IRE Headline Tour in September / October 

Man/Woman/Chainsaw have announced a new run of UK tour dates for May 2027, taking the band to their biggest venues to date. Kicking off at Manchester’s New Century Hall, the run will see the band travel across the country performing songs from their acclaimed debut album, Cannonball, out now via Fiction Records. The tour culminates at London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town, marking another major milestone for one of the capital’s most exciting emerging live acts.

Formed at only 16 years old and crafting their songs in a converted vicarage, the bold new single and album follows European dates over the last month and a breakthrough 2025 where the band sold out both London’s Scala and an entire UK tour in October, their second sold out tour of the year. They played live sessions for both KEXP and Steve Lamacq at BBC 6 Music and completed a triumphant first trip to Austin for SXSW in the Spring, where Man/Woman/Chainsaw found themselves standing at the very forefront of a new wave of British bands “most likely to”.

The 11 songs of “Cannonball” burst forth with pure feeling: grand and exuberant, rich with unconventional structures and world-beating choruses, the long-awaited record making good on the band’s years of hard touring while unearthing new dimensions and unlikely facets in their songwriting. It is a sharp, smart first record, one which presents Man/Woman/Chainsaw exactly as they are right now: one of London’s most promising young bands, coming into their own as fearless experimentalists and vital songwriters. “We were talking about having a whole record of bangers – having everything be really in your face like a Rage Against the Machine record. We soon realised we weren’t Rage Against the Machine and leant into the softer moments of the album which I think has really become a big part of our sound.” says drummer Lola Cherry.

Working with Seth Evans (Geordie Greep, Black Midi) and Margo Broom (Fat White Family, Big Joanie), Man/Woman/Chainsaw landed on a clean, grandiose sound for Cannonball, one befitting their emotional intentions. Its deft, organic blending of theatricality and raw honesty belies its intense level of craft; these songs are razor sharp and evoke the mess and stress of being in one’s teens and early-20s better than almost any other band working today.

“Cannonball” lives up to its name, crash-landing in the centre of London’s experimental scene and surely confirming Man/Woman/Chainsaw as its brightest stars
