THE AMAZONS ’21ST CENTURY FICTION’ OUT NOW; HEADLINE TOUR ANNOUNCED + PLAY LONDON’S ROADHOUSE OCTOBER 29TH

May 13, 2025 BY Bailey Vigliaturo

21st Century Fiction, the fourth studio album from Reading’s The Amazons, is out now. Their darkest and most heartfelt to date, the record marks a triumphant return to form. Listen HERE.

A powerful, rock-forward record, 21st Century Fiction is The Amazons at their most furious. An album as culturally important as it is sonically excellent, lead singer Matt Thomson described the central mythos of the album as being about “a man in his late 20s, struggling with unrealistic ideals of masculinity and a sense of unfulfilled promise”, surrounded by “a world plagued by chaos.”

These were songs that Thomson needed to write, not just to lift himself from the doldrums, but for a generation of young males with the same struggles. 21st Century Fiction signals the emergence of The Amazons’ bold new sound – still loaded with riffs and roaring with aggression, but packed with a whole new level of introspection, energy and grandiose.With three huge Top 10 records and sold out shows across the globe under their belts, The Amazons are facing their futures: fired up and ready to go.

After a summer run of dates, which include the band’s return to Glastonbury Festival, Live At Leeds In The Park and a couple dates supporting Queens Of The Stone Age in Italy, The Amazons will also be hitting the road in Autumn 2025 for a run of UK headline dates.Known for their electric stage presence and full throttle intensity, The Amazons are bringing their raucous live show to the UK this Autumn, with a 10-date-tour, including a show at London’s Roundhouse on October 29th. Tickets are on sale HERE.
