A melancholy daydream of a song that arrives just in time to soundtrack these last disappearing days of summer, ‘Pink Cactus Café‘ is three and a half minutes of indelible melody and evocative lyrics that wistfully plan escape from the here and now.

Courteener’s Liam Fray on ‘Pink Cactus Café‘:

“I guess on a basic level, it’s about escape. Finding a bit of time for yourself. Trying to find that perfect place; the idea that things are better on holiday. It’s about the tea houses of Morocco, the beaches in Marseille, breakfast at home with a loved one…It’s the utopia, really. Does it really exist? Maybe not. Doesn’t stop us chasing it though, does it?”

‘Pink Catcus Café‘ is taken from the forthcoming album of the same name and Courteeners’ seventh studio album. With Liam Fray co-producing all tracks and featuring contributions from friends of the band such as DMAs, Brooke Combe, James and Ian Skelly (The Coral), Pixey, Charlie Salt (Blossoms), Ola Modupe-Ojo (Bipolar Sunshine) and Theo Hutchcraft (Hurts) amongst many more, Pink Cactus Café is the sound of a band pushing at all of the edges of what they do whilst retaining the core DNA of what makes their songs work so brilliantly, to so many: timeless melody and choruses purpose built for arenas and festival fields. It’s Courteeners at their very best.

‘Pink Cactus Café’ features the previously released single ‘Solitude Of The Night Bus’ which received widespread national radio playlist support. The album is released on 25th October 2025 on Ignition Records, available on formats including CD, cassette, signed and limited edition coloured LPs versions featuring an exclusive bonus track. Digital formats will include a Dolby Atmos version of the album.

Following a huge summer of shows inclusing a massive headlining a 25,000 capacity show at Lytham Festival and a high profile slot at TRNSMT in Glasgow, Courteeners are due to play a series of headline arena dates this autumn.

‘Pink Cactus Café’ is Courteeners’ first new music since 2020’s ‘More. Again. Forever.‘ – a record that received critical acclaim and was widely regarded as one of the band’s most confident and consistent records. More recently, a reissue of Courteeners’ debut album ‘St. Jude‘ reached No 1 in the UK Album Charts in 2023, fifteen years after its original release.
