Lime Garden have returned with the fizzing new single ‘Maybe Not Tonight’, and announced a string of UK headline shows.
The Brighton four-piece have not released any new music since their debut album ‘One More Thing’ at the start of last year, but now they have teased that ‘Maybe Not Tonight’ is the “start of a thrilling new era”.
The track is a sparkling, confident indie pop number, with Chloe Howard’s snarling vocals matching the band’s chaotic energy. You can watch the video for the track below, directed by Harv Frost, which features the band members thrust into the world of a lairy night out.
Speaking about the song, the band have said: “It’s the soundtrack to a woman on the edge of making all the wrong choices, it feels like getting punched in the face with the morning after a night out.”
To accompany the new single, Lime Garden have also confirmed a UK tour for March 2026, which will see them play headline shows in Manchester, Nottingham, Leeds and Bristol, with a final night in London’s Moth Club on March 19. Tickets go on general sale on Friday (November 14) and you will be able to find yours here.
Lime Garden will play:
MARCH 2026
12 – Manchester, Yes Basement
13 – Nottingham, Rough Trade
14 – Leeds, Hyde Park Book Club
16 – Bristol, The Louisiana
19 – London, Moth Club
‘One More Thing’ earned a four-star review from NME, with the review stating: “‘Nepotism (Baby)’ and ‘I Want To Be You’ explore the complicated relationships women often have with one another; twisting sombre jealousy with admiration. Witty and sardonic, Lime Garden’s lyrics would feel at home on any great sprechgesang record: “Tried to get surgery to see her how you see,” they sing on the latter. Yet the band’s exuberant sound marks them as their own distinct entity; entirely within their own league.”
NME also caught up with the band in Reykjavik ahead of the release of the album. Speaking about the two-week burst of energy that saw the record come together, drummer Annabel Whittle said: “Whenever we’re together for a long period of time, we form a language that revolves around understanding each other’s routines and behaviours. But a lot of what we make reflects how our lives are made up of ridiculous highs and crazy lows – there’s no inbetween.”
