Fresh from playing their biggest show to date, their hometown stadium gig aptly titled ‘The Rally,’ Arkell have announced a UK/Germany headline tour, for November. They will kick things off on 16th November in Cologne, and will make their way around Berlin and Hamburg before landing in the UK. The band will then hit major UK cities and play London’s Heaven on 23rd November. The tour will wrap on 29th November at Brighton’s Green Door Store. The headline tour is a follow-up to their support run with London folk-rock troubadour, Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls. “Touring with Frank Turner was like finding a long-lost brother,” says Arkells frontman, Max Kerman. “When it comes to putting on an entertaining show, we care about the same things. The tour in the UK was insane every night. It was an amazing opportunity to play cities we'd never been to before, and we can't wait to rekindle the relationship with those crowds.” Arkells will be joined by London-based art-rockers Felix Hagan And The Family as support on their November tour.

In June, Arkells unleashed their community-curated festival ‘The Rally’ to a crowd of 24,000 strong at Tim Horton’s Field football stadium, in their hometown of Hamilton. ‘The Rally’ featured special guests Cold War Kids, and Bishop Briggs. It is the band’s biggest headline show to-date, and the largest outdoor stadium show to hit the city since Pink Floyd in 1975.

This past weekend, Arkells headlined the Canada Day concert and national broadcast, live from the nation’s capital of Ottawa, Canada. “To play a 'Fuck-Trump' song on Parliament Hill for Canada Day was one of my favourite secret pleasures of our career,” reflects Kerman. “Whether they knew it or not, the Canadian government officials were there bopping along. There were 35,000 people on the lawn singing the chorus hook. There are many ways to protest and let your voice be heard, and this is ours.” Check out the music video for their politically charged single, People’s Champ, below.

In support of People’s Champ, the five-piece have been honouring special do-gooders with unique stories that have been nominated via fans and community outreach, with a special custom medal, whist amplifying their stories. Arkells themselves were able to personally award some of the chosen few, and turned up as a surprise to a music school teacher, decorated bus driver, and doctor; and paid a visit to local charity, REFUGE, Hamilton Centre for Newcomer Health – a charity with which they have partnered and raised over $30k in donations via ‘The Rally.’
