He released Things Are Looking Up – the title track of his new album – last week.

The track followed Out Of The Blue, also from his new record, which was released in February.

Earlier this month, Lockett announced pre-orders for Things Are Looking Up which is due to be released in May.

The record follows his debut Abington Grove which was released in 2023 and is available on two vinyl variants, CD and digitally. Bundles and signed copies are also available.

The 12-track album also includes the songs Hell Yeh, Light Up The Sky, Cornerstone, Sweet Tooth, Skydiving, Masterplan, Cut Me Off, We Know, Better This Way and Our Funeral.

Lockett kicks off his UK tour on Wednesday, May 6, in Birmingham at The Castle & Falcon before playing dates in Liverpool, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Leeds, Manchester, London, Southampton and Bristol.

Last year, as well as his annual headline Christmas gigs at The Picturedrome, Lockett played two sold out gigs at The Charles Bradlaugh in Northampton in aid of JH & Oarpel to help the group which supports people with disabilities fund a new minivan.

He also signed a global publishing deal with Notting Hill Music and performed at the British Grand Prix.

In 2024, Lockett appeared on ITV show The Voice which led to a show with McFly at London’s O2 Arena while also touring with Jamie Cullum, Sam Rider and performing at the A Perfect Day Festival at Delapre Park in Northampton.
