Tom Grennan has officially entered his stadium anthem era, and we are here for it. Today, the Bedford-born chart-topper drops ‘Somewhere Only We Go’, the sixth and final track revealed before his upcoming album Everywhere I Went Led Me To Where I Didn’t Want To Be, out 15 August via Insanity Records.
It’s big, it’s bold, and it’s begging to be shouted back at him in an arena. With glittering guitar lines, pounding drums, and that Grennan grit in full force, this one’s a heart-thumper designed for arms-around-your-mates moments. We’ve been lucky enough to chat with Tom a few times over the years and watch his sound evolve, and hearing this track, it’s impossible not to feel proud of just how far he’s come.
A Song for The Ones That Got Away
Grennan says the track is about “how people change, drift, and grow apart”, but with an emotional twist. It’s about keeping those shared memories alive, even if life has marched you off in different directions. Basically: if you’ve ever walked past an old haunt and got smacked in the face with nostalgia, this song is that feeling in audio form.
The Album: Grennan, Revived
Everywhere I Went Led Me To Where I Didn’t Want To Be is Grennan’s fourth album, and according to him, the most creatively fearless. Partnering with hitmaker Justin Tranter (yes, the one behind Dua Lipa bangers and Chappell Roan earworms), he’s channelled his inner George Michael, Prince, and Freddie Mercury. The result? A state-of-the-art pop record that’s part catharsis, part “get on your feet and dance.”
Despite the heavy-sounding title, the album’s message is pure uplift: self-belief, risk-taking, and fighting personal demons head-on. As Grennan puts it, “Now I’m at a place where I DO want to be. And I’m ready to blow people’s heads off.”
From Record Stores to Arenas
To celebrate the release, Grennan’s hitting the road for a run of intimate Record Store shows from 7–18 August, think stripped-back sets and meet-and-greets for the day-one fans. Then, on 29 August, he’s throwing a “Final Night of Tour Rehearsals” show in Coventry, essentially a sneaky peek before the real thing.
September is when it all explodes with GRENNAN ’25, his biggest UK & Ireland arena tour yet, kicking off in Bournemouth and hitting 11 massive venues, including The O2 in London, the Co-Op Live in Manchester, and Glasgow’s OVO Hydro.

Why This Era Feels Different
Grennan’s not exactly new to the big leagues, we’re talking two Number One albums, Brit and Ivor Novello nods, 2.5 billion streams, and headlining Radio 1’s Big Weekend. But this new chapter feels hungrier, sharper, and way more self-assured. For those of us who’ve seen him in earlier days, whether at sweaty club gigs or on the other end of an interview mic, it’s clear this is Tom stepping into his prime. If What Ifs & Maybes was the warm-up lap, Everywhere I Went… is the full sprint.
‘Somewhere Only We Go’ is streaming now. The album drops 15 August. And if you’ve ever screamed a breakup anthem at the top of your lungs, get ready, you’re going to need to know all the words by September.
