THE TWILIGHT SAD RETURN WITH NEW SINGLE FT. THE CURE’S ROBERT SMITH “WAITING FOR THE PHONE CALL” | ANNOUNCE UK & EU HEADLINE TOUR + SHOWS WITH THE CURE

ROCK ACTION RECORDS

The Twilight Sad is currently readying a long-awaited new album for release next year and, today, share their propulsive new single “Waiting For The Phone Call” featuring The Cure’s Robert Smith on guitar. Out now via Rock Action Records, the track is an impassioned autobiographical epic detailing a phone call you never want to arrive.

Commentating on the track, singer and lyricist James Graham says: “Waiting For The Phone Call” is about grief, love, and mental illness. These things took over my life and I became ill. I lost the person most important to me in one of the cruelest ways. I’ve always used writing as a method of processing and coping with my emotions. My emotions became a problem and I couldn’t control them. Writing music with Andy… especially the past seven years had been both the escape and the opportunity to process and try and make sense of life. We’ve all been waiting on a phone call that can change our lives at some point. This unfortunately focuses on a phone call that you never want to have.”

Additionally, The Twilight Sad have announced news of an extensive UK & EU headline tour for April and May 2026 including a performance at the Roundhouse in London. This will be followed by a handful of dates performing as special guests to The Cure in June and July. As is widely known, Robert Smith has been one of The Twilight Sad’s biggest supporters over the past decade, taking the band on tour with The Cure, covering their music, and including The Twilight Sad in his Meltdown Festival lineup back in 2018. All upcoming live dates are listed below.
