British indie rockers The Kooks will return to North America this spring for the All Over the World Tour.
Following the release of their highly anticipated new album, Never/Know, on May 9th, The Kooks will kick off the tour’s 16-show North American leg on Tuesday, May 27th in Montreal, Canada. After making stops in Toronto (5/28), Philadelphia (5/30), NYC (6/3), and Washington, D.C. (6/4), the band will head south to Raleigh (6/6) and Atlanta (6/7) before visiting the Midwest for shows in Chicago (6/9), Milwaukee (6/10), and Minneapolis (6/11). Then, after stopping in Denver (6/13) and Salt Lake City (6/14), the tour will conclude with a West Coast run in Los Angeles (6/17), Oakland (6/18), Portland (6/20), and Seattle (6/21). lovelytheband, who recently collaborated with The Kooks on their standalone single “Jeanine”, will provide support for all dates.
“We made some of the greatest memories as a band on our last US tour and ever since we’ve been counting the days till we can return,” said The Kooks’ frontman and songwriter Luke Pritchard. “This time with lovelytheband and playing material from our new album, it’s going to be magic. We can’t wait to see you all out on the road.”

Never/Know, The Kooks’ first studio album since 2022’s 10 Tracks to Echo in the Dark, marks both a return to the raw indie spirit of the band’s culturally pivotal debut, Inside In/Inside Out (2006), and a continuation of their ongoing evolution. “It’s not about going back to the first album’s sound, but to the roots of our influences and asking, ‘What is the identity of this band?’” said Pritchard, who self-produced the 11-track collection with the exception of one song, the J Lloyd-produced “Echo Chamber”.
Lead single, “Never Know”, is out now on streaming platforms. Pritchard called the track “a love song about a cute meet with someone unpredictable,” adding, “I like the idea of it being played in a convertible on a road trip somewhere ridiculous. Because really, you never know.”
