It’s shaping up to be a monster year (and beyond) for Brit-rock legends Cast, and they’re not easing up anytime soon. Fresh off their reunion with Oasis for a run of stadium shows, they’ve just dropped some massive news: a brand new album titled ‘Yeah Yeah Yeah’ will land on January 30, 2026 via Manchester indie label Scruff of the Neck Records. And if that wasn’t enough, they’re returning to U.S. stages for the first time in nearly three decades, with their own headline date and slots alongside Oasis and The Brian Jonestown Massacre.
The album announcement comes hand-in-hand with a swaggering new single, Poison Vine, featuring none other than soul icon P.P. Arnold. If you’re into gritty grooves and powerhouse vocals, this track delivers both in spades. Cast frontman John Power calls it “the real thing”—and honestly, we’re inclined to agree. P.P. Arnold, fresh off a show-stealing Glasto set, brings serious soul weight to the mix, echoing the vibe of Merry Clayton’s legendary cameo on Gimme Shelter.
A Surprise Album with Serious Firepower
Yeah Yeah Yeah wasn’t part of the plan—at least not yet. John Power had some sketches and song ideas in his back pocket, but a last-minute opportunity to record appeared in late 2024. Everything lined up: legendary producer Youth (The Verve, Pink Floyd, Primal Scream) had space at his Space Mountain studio in Spain, and the band was ready to go. Cue a burst of creative energy as Power, guitarist Liam ‘Skin’ Tyson, and drummer Keith O’Neill dove headfirst into the sessions—arriving just in time for the almond trees to blossom (a good omen, naturally).
The result? A record that feels wide open and full of life. Expect everything from gospel-tinged anthems and classic Cast melancholia to flashes of psychedelic funk and gentle, acoustic beauty. It’s a big, bold collection that aims higher than just “vibes.” As Youth himself puts it, they were trying to capture something majestic.
P.P. Arnold’s Soul Stamp
“Poison Vine” gives us a juicy taste of what’s to come. That signature John Power hook is there, but this time it’s riding a darker, heavier groove—and when P.P. Arnold’s vocals hit, it’s absolute lift-off. Known for iconic solo hits like “The First Cut Is the Deepest” and her work with Ike & Tina Turner, Nick Drake, Peter Gabriel, and even Oasis, Arnold brings a timeless energy to the track. She clicked with Youth just days before the session, and now she’s set to appear on a second track from the album as well.
Limited Editions & Signed Surprises
‘Yeah Yeah Yeah’ will drop on vinyl, CD, cassette, and all digital platforms, but collectors, take note: there’s a liquid-filled 12” vinyl version that looks like mouthwash (yep), signed by the band and limited to just 100 copies. The first 500 physical orders from Cast’s store will also get a signed print, so don’t sleep on it.
Cast Hits the U.S. (and a Whole Lot More)
Fans across the pond, rejoice: Cast are finally returning to the U.S. for the first time since the ’90s. They’ll headline Sony Hall in NYC on September 3, with additional appearances opening for Oasis in New Jersey and L.A., and The Brian Jonestown Massacre in New York and Philly.
Back in the UK, the band is celebrating 30 years of their landmark debut album ‘All Change’ with a full-blown anniversary tour later this fall. Expect a healthy dose of nostalgia alongside the new material.
