UK alt-hardcore quintet Higher Power are pleased to announce an 8-date UK headline tour in October 2025, bringing their new material live to our stages.
This is their first UK headline run since 2021! The band’s third studio album, “There’s Love in This World If You Want It”, was surprise released digitally in June via Nuclear Blast Records. The album will be released physically on September 19th, 2025.
Higher Power have also released a dreamy video for cathartic new track “Better”, which you can view below.
Frontman Jimmy Wizard commented on the video:
“This video couldn’t be anymore honest, we literally turned up at our practice room with no plan but we let the creativity flow and the result is what you get when some friends hang out, exchange ideas and have fun. The rest of the videos have felt very narrative and metaphor based where as this one needed to be super stripped back and we let the music do the talking”!

Inner peace. That’s the aim for us all, isn’t it? Well, the truth is that it is always there waiting for you. You just need to work away a little bit to find it, digging deep and questioning yourself to get closer and closer to achieving that ultimate sense of personal zen. It may not always feel like the search is paying off, but there is always potential for that love, compassion and understanding of who you are to seep through. The journey may be challenging, but you’ll be glad that you took part in it in the end.
For Higher Power, that journey has seen them do things that, when they emerged onto the Yorkshire hardcore circuit in 2015, were never even on their radar. From their innocently frantic beginnings of emulating and celebrating legendary bands like Leeway and Merauder for a new generation, even playing their first two shows in the basement of the house owned by The Flex and at an early iteration of Outbreak Fest respectively, the ten years that have followed have seen them ride every ebb and flow that the music industry has to offer. From touring with everyone from Alexisonfire and Neck Deep to Knocked Loose and Angel Du$t to signing to Roadrunner Records for their sophomore full-length “27 Miles Underwater”, they have achieved the sort of things that, up until recently, would never have been on the horizon of possibility for a hardcore band of their ilk. Yet, within experiencing the industry mechanics usually reserved for the highest echelons of rock royalty, they also realised they were drifting away from the things that made them want to do all of this in the first place.
The result of putting what feels right for them first is “There’s Love in This World If You Want It”, a record that encapsulates the Higher Power spirit in a way that only those whose hearts are truly entrenched in the band can produce. Peeling away layers of assumption and ideology placed upon them by others and focusing once more on the genre-splicing experimentation that inspired them to create together in the first place, they have produced nine songs that showcase exactly what they are made of in a screaming rainbow of colour.
