Courteeners today release new track ‘The Beginning Of The End’. Widescreen and defiant, it features respected Australian rock outfit DMA’S. Described by MOJO as “heroic”, the release fanfares the band’s seventh studio album, ‘Pink Cactus Café’ out this Friday (25th October 2024) – pre order/pre save here.
The highly anticipated ‘Pink Cactus Café’ includes previously released ‘Solitude Of The Night Bus’ plus the band’s current single (and album title track), both of which have received widespread national radio playlist support, plus the sublime ‘Sweet Surrender’ featuring rising star, Brooke Combe.
With Liam Fray co-producing all tracks and featuring additional contributions from friends of the band such as 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 pop-leaning, exploratory and the band’s most collaborative forward looking record yet. It is already receiving critical acclaim with MOJO hailing “Anthems” **** and Classic Pop describing the album as “Swaggering… mesmerising… irresistible” ****
Released on Ignition Records, the album is available on formats including CD, cassette, signed and limited edition coloured LP versions featuring an exclusive bonus track. Digital formats will include a Dolby Atmos version of the album. Pre-order and pre-save here.
Ahead of their headline UK arena tour next month, the band have sold out a series of retail album launch shows and stripped-back album signings including in Liverpool, Warrington and Manchester. The last few tickets for their November 2024 arena tour are available here.

One of the most cherished bands in Britain, across their 16-year career Courteeners have had consistent commercial success. ‘Pink Cactus Café’ is Courteeners’ first new music since 2020’s critically acclaimed ‘More. Again. Forever.’ and more recently, a reissue of Courteeners’ debut ‘St. Jude’ which reached No 1 in the UK Album Charts in 2023, fifteen years after its original release.
Praise for ‘Pink Cactus Café’:
“Courteeners have already become stadium rockers. Now they’re stadium popstars too” **** Classic Pop
