West London’s finest return with four dates in December 2026, plus a new EP dropping August 21st featuring bouncy new single “Reload”.
The kings of pirate radio chaos are back. Kurupt FM have announced a proper December UK tour ahead of their new EP GDWDMA, which drops on Friday 21st August. If you’ve been following the Brentford crew since their BAFTA-winning People Just Do Nothing days, you’ll know this is going to be absolute carnage—in the best possible way.
The GDWDMA Tour
Four dates, four cities, one iconic finale. The tour kicks off at Bristol Electric on Thursday 10th December 2026, then moves to Manchester’s Albert Hall on Friday 11th December. Birmingham O2 Academy gets its turn on Friday 18th December before the whole thing wraps at London’s legendary Roundhouse on Saturday 19th December. Tickets are on sale now via Kurupt FM’s official page.
Speaking on the return, MC Grindah put it bluntly: “It’s time. As you may very well known, a few years ago I quit music, but now ive split up with miche… I’m back on the market, well, not just physically. But musically. Grindah’s decided we’re doing music again. That’s the name of the new album, or EP ‘GDWDMA’. Grindah’s also decided wer doin a UK tour make sure ur there to witness UKG history!!!!!!”
New EP and Singles
The third single from the forthcoming EP, “Reload,” is out now—a bouncy, wheel-up-ready banger produced by Young Franco. It follows “Tek Time,” produced by Merseyside’s Jack Marlow, and “Feelings,” another Young Franco collab that samples Cassius. Young Franco said of “Reload”: “It was the first track that I worked on with Kurupt FM. I’ve always wanted to create something that sits between grime, garage and UKG and staying in East London was really inspiring for those genres. We worked on it over 2 days, the idea came really quickly and I’m excited for how it’s turned out.”
Since their first homemade YouTube videos, Kurupt FM have gone from pirate radio mockumentary to genuine chart success, mixtapes via XL Recordings, sold-out Glastonbury sets, and a Top 10 album featuring Craig David and D Double E. They’ve built a reputation for live shows that sit somewhere between a rave, a comedy gig, and total mayhem. And they’re not slowing down.
Catch them in December – grab your tickets now before they disappear. The rest, as always, are irrelevant.
