Ten Hands High

2025 was Ten Hands High’s breakout year. The rising indie band went on their first headline tour, selling out shows in Manchester, Leeds and London, joined The Mercians on their 7-date UK tour, drew 1,000 fans to their set at Kendal Calling, and packed out a solo acoustic slot at Glastonbury. Their releases last year — Duty Free, Leeds and Eyelids — helped them hit 20K monthly listeners for the first time, alongside Radio X premieres and BBC Introducing Track of the Day placements. Based in London and formed at Leeds Uni, the quartet have already sold out iconic London venues like Omeara, The 100 Club and Camden Assembly, and have made their mark on the UK festival circuit with packed-out appearances at Y Not and Live at Leeds. With previous support from BBC Radio 1, 6 Music and Radio X; national TV spots on Made In Chelsea and This Morning; and editorial placements on Spotify’s Fresh Finds UK and Hot New Bands, Ten Hands High are proving they’re one of the UK’s most exciting rising indie acts.
