On the heels of last year’s sold-out run of intimate underplay gigs, the band has now announced a 13-date nationwide UK tour kicking off this November. Tickets are on sale at 10am on Friday 24th April, here.
Out on May 8th, Is This How Happiness Feels? follows the Top 10 success of 2023’s Heatwave In The Cold North, the new 13-track record sees McClure at his most vulnerable and musically ambitious.
Last August, Reverend & The Makers marked two decades together with their most ambitious headline show yet—a massive homecoming set for 30,000 fans at Sheffield’s Rock N Roll Circus.

Is This How Happiness Feels was produced by Danny Lafrombé and Jon McClure and is the follow up to Reverend & The Makers Top 10 album Heatwave In The Cold North. The Sheffield five piece’s eagerly awaited new album is their most musically accomplished yet, merging vintage, sparkling, life-affirming soul with contemporary lyrical storytelling. “This album has been a labour of love owing to personal reasons but has emerged as a joyous triumph,” says frontman Jon McClure. “It’s easily the best thing we’ve ever done and will surprise a few people too.” The album features previously released singles ‘Late Night Phone Call’, ‘Haircut’ featuring Vicky McClure, ‘UFO’ and ‘Twenty-Seven Past Midnight’.
Reverend & The Makers’ seventh studio album, Heatwave In The Cold North hit No. 6 on the Official Charts in 2023, giving the band a remarkable unbroken streak of seven Top 20 albums to their name. This marked their first Top 10 album since their 2007 debut, The State of Things, which reached No. 5, and also delivered their biggest single in over a decade. 
Reverend & The Makers are: Jon McClure (lead singer), Thomas Dibb (guitar), Laura McClure (keys/vocals), Antonia Pooles (bass), Adam Crofts (drums)
