ATOMIC ROOSTER – CIRCLE THE SUN 2025/26
Since their explosive return in 2016 – with the blessing of band founder Vincent Crane’s widow – ATOMIC ROOSTER have been tearing through festivals, clubs, and concert halls across the UK and Europe. At the helm is their early-70s guitar hero STEVE “BOLTZ” BOLTON, and the band has built an unstoppable momentum, winning over a devoted and ever-growing fanbase.
Best known for their two chart-smashing hits “Devil’s Answer” and “Tomorrow Night”, Rooster are also revered for their genre-defining proto-metal / gothic-prog masterpieces: Death Walks Behind You (1970) and In the Hearing Of… (1971). Add to that the blues-fired Made in England – featuring Chris Farlowe on vocals, Bolton on guitar, and Spinal Tap’s infamous drummer Rick Parnell – and you have the DNA of a true British rock institution.
Now, the band is mixing those stone-cold classics with blistering new tracks from their upcoming album Circle The Sun – dropping October 2025 on Esoteric Recordings and Cherry Red Records – and debuting live on their Circle The Sun Tour.
