Squeeze has released “Trixies (Part Two),” the second single from their highly anticipated 2026 album, Trixies. This project marks a remarkable full-circle moment for founders Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook, as it features songs they wrote as teenagers in 1974 at the very start of their partnership. While their youthful vision originally exceeded their technical abilities, fifty years of touring and over 600 shows have prepared the band to finally realize these stories set in a fictional nightclub. Produced by bassist Owen Biddle, the tracks maintain the band’s signature melodic romance while benefiting from half a century of seasoned musicianship.
To celebrate this milestone, Squeeze has announced the “Tried, Tested and Trixies Tour” for late 2026, the most ambitious run of their legendary career. Joined by special guest Billy Bragg, the 16-date trek includes several first-time arena headlines, including a massive homecoming show at London’s O2 Arena. The tour will also serve a philanthropic purpose, supporting the anti-poverty charity Trussell and Grassroots Music Venues. Tickets are available now for the November and December run, which promises a blend of these “new” vintage treasures alongside timeless classics like “Up The Junction” and “Tempted.”
