Fat Dog return with new single "Go Fuck Urself" and Announce New Tour Dates

Fat Dog – the undefinable, undeniable, raucous South London band are back with a bang with their subtly named new single “Go Fuck Urself”. With 80s-tinged, airy synths and dripping in melodica, “Go Fuck Urself” is three minutes of propulsive, jubilant electro-pop – an irascible, exasperated rant wrapped in joyous hooks and Balearic grooves.

As frontman, songwriter and chief rabble rouser Joe Love coolly sings: “Some jokers play the same old game / No one to annoy / Find a mirror and the person to blame,” the song breaks out into a euphoric, technicolour anthem – an ode to escapism when the thing you are trying to escape is yourself.

Co-produced by Joe Love with Oli Bayston (mary in the junkyard, Kelly Lee Owens, Alexis Taylor), “Go Fuck Urself” follows Fat Dog’s fantastic standalone singles “Pray To That” and “Peace Song” and their “brilliant, dark, and downright batshit crazy” (DIY)debut album WOOF. released in 2024.

The video - directed by Nine Screens (Dylan Coates and Travis Barton) - sees the band take to a wrestling ring to convey the message they must share with the world: “Go Fuck Urself.”

“Go Fuck Urself” marks the band’s return in 2026 and sets the stage perfectly for further new music to come. Alongside the single, Fat Dog have confirmed a mammoth UK & European headline tour including a hometown show at London’s Brixton Academy on 24th October. Before that, the band will play their largest ever shows supporting the Foo Fighters at 3 European arena dates, support Kneecap at their Crystal Palace show in London alongside a summer of festivals including End of the Road, Dour, Reeperbahn, Bearded Theory and more. It looks like we’re set for another Year of the Dog.

Fat Dog are Joe Love, Chris Hughes, Morgan Wallace, Ellis Dickson, Michael Dunlop, Dillon Harrison and Jed Bevington.
