Scouting For Girls have signed an exclusive label services deal with Absolute Label Services.
The agreement comes as the British trio celebrate the 15-year anniversary of their UK No.1 single, This Ain’t A Love Song, and announce their next album set for release in 2026.
Absolute Label Services will support the new album with digital marketing, distribution and project management, as well as running a long-term strategic D2C campaign.
Having sold out their 2024 tour by moving more than 45,000 tickets, the band have a summer full of festival appearances across the UK this year, and a newly-announced headline tour for 2026.
Scouting For Girls debuted in June 2007 with their It’s Not About You EP, followed by hit single She’s So Lovely in September that same year. The track currently has more than 200 million streams on Spotify.
On the new deal with Absolute, Scouting For Girls said: “We’re truly impressed by everything Absolute has accomplished. From their successes with the likes of Busted and McFly to the ambitious vision they presented us, we knew this partnership would propel us to even greater heights. We can’t wait to share our new music and celebrate this exciting phase in our career.”
The fact that their live bookings are stronger than ever speaks volumes – not only are they still energising their loyal fanbase but clearly attracting new fans too
