British singer Bradley Simpson, frontman of pop band The Vamps, has announced his debut solo album, The Panic Years, and released a new single titled “Holy Grail.” The album is slated for release on Feb. 28, 2025.
This comes after The Vamps celebrated their 10-year anniversary, during which they sat down with Melodic Mag to revisit tracks from their debut album, Meet The Vamps (2014).
Simpson has also revealed plans for a UK tour in May 2025. Fans who pre-order The Panic Years from his official store before 3 p.m. GMT on Tuesday Nov. 12, will gain early access to pre-sale tickets. General ticket sales begin on Friday, Nov. 15, at 10 a.m. local time.
Speaking about his upcoming solo project, Simpson shared, “I hope these songs and stories can help [listeners] navigate those experiences. They can become the soundtrack to their lives, whether they’re dancing, crying, going out, or whatever it is. It really feels like an opportunity to let them into a side of my life that I haven’t shared before.”
The fifth single off The Panic Years, he explains the song “Holy Grail” is about the feeling of being sure about a future with someone, seeing a long road ahead together and what that would look like, and you’re excited about it.
