The Kooks

About the artist

The Kooks find themselves newly beloved by another. While their first wave of fans remainfiercely loyal, a vibrant Gen Z audience has embraced them too, making them festival headliners once again. Social media has given their unmistakable Britpop-tinged indie an unexpected renaissance, introducing their songs to millions of new ears.

That renewed energy has been on full display in recent years, from sold-out world tours to huge festival moments, including a euphoric return to major festival main stages this year, nearly twodecades on from their breakout. The crowd’s reaction is proof of the band’s enduring impact: a cross-generational chorus singing back songs like 'Naïve' and 'She Moves in Her Own Way' as loudly as ever.
