Fresh off the release of their acclaimed debut album, GREY, Held. will make their first-ever UK appearance this November with a five-date run that includes Liverpool’s Loud & Clear Festival before stops in Glasgow, Cardiff, Birmingham, and London. The announcement arrives as the band prepares to launch the second leg of its U.S. tour supporting Underoath later this month, with additional appearances confirmed at Neverender Festival and Furnace Fest this fall.
Held. also unveil a new short film today, weaving together the videos for “NEW YOU ANTHEM” featuring Frank Iero, “CONSTANT TENSION,” and “KNIFEPOINT” featuring Graham Sayle of High Vis into one interconnected narrative. Directed by Adam Thomson, the film expands on the mysterious pyramid iconography at the centre of the band’s visual identity.

Held. features Douglas Robinson and Sal Mignano of The Sleeping alongside Josh Eppard of Coheed and Cambria. Their debut album, GREY, released via MNRK Heavy in May, balances crushing intensity with deeply personal songwriting, delivering the energy of a new band with the chemistry of musicians who’ve spent decades honing their craft.
