SPILL NEW MUSIC: ARKELLS RELEASE NEW SINGLE “MONEY” FEATURING PORTUGAL. THE MAN

ARKELLS RELEASE NEW SINGLE “MONEY” FEATURING PORTUGAL. THE MAN | NEW ALBUM COMING IN 2026

UNIVERSAL MUSIC CANADA/VIRGIN MUSIC GROUP

9X JUNO Award winners Arkells release their new single, “Money” featuring Portugal. The Man, out today via Universal Music Canada and Virgin Music Group. The feel good and synth infused new track explores the most universally complicated relationship we all have, with money.

“The pull of money is hard to escape. It’s tangled up in vanity, competition, ego, and dreams of the future—but it’s a godless place to live.” says Max Kerman. He continues, “There are so many invisible forces that guide us, and we’re trying to keep money from sitting too high on the list. We felt like the song was almost there, when we realized John from Portugal. The Man––our favourite American with a streak rebellion––was exactly the voice to bring it home.”

“Money” (featuring Portugal. The Man) arrives as the follow up to the group’s latest single “What Good?” released October 30 as the first track of their forthcoming new album expected in 2026. The accompanying music video for the track was also dropped on release. Listen to “What Good?” HERE.

Arkells are set to road trip across the pond for a string of European and UK tour dates from March 12-20, 2026. The shows are the first announcement of many intimate and up close and personal live experiences to come from the band. Fans can expect a preview of Arkells forthcoming, to-be-announce-album on this run.

The shows will bring the group to various cities in Germany, Netherlands, and United Kingdom. See full list of dates below.

Arkells are among the first performers announced for the 2026 JUNO Awards, being held in the group’s hometown of Hamilton, ON on March 29 at the TD Coliseum. See the full announcement HERE and the social announcement HERE. The Hamilton heroes made noise in their hometown over the weekend, popping up on stage as special guests of the Jonas Brothers, at their sold-out stop at TD Coliseum. The band surprised the audience with a performance of their beloved hit “Leather Jacket” to the crowd’s delight.

Arkells are set to hit the stage tomorrow for a sold out performance at the OLG Stage at Niagara Falls Casino for their first ever holiday show, “Sleigh The Night.”

Further music releases, tour dates and album info to come, as the band prepares for a busy 2026.
