Success cut through Ohio alt-folk band, Caamp’s sense of where their lives were headed just three years ago, yet the driving hum of their new album opener and latest single, Millions, gives off the defiant aura of a band secure in hope, belief and happiness. Cut loose from their fifth studio album, Copper Changes Color – OUT TODAY via Mom+Pop Music - the single’s predominant sense of confidence, giving up to love and renewal comes through even louder with the band’s accompanying announcement of a return to the UK & Ireland for four live dates this October.
Coinciding with the breakthrough success of their Lavender Days album, Caamp’s most recent European tour dates found them face-to-face with a swelled family of fans in a series of iconic venues back in winter 2022. Returning this autumn for a total of 11 European shows, the UK & Ireland run opens at Glasgow’s Queen Margaret Union on Sun 26 October 2025, and follows to include a landmark date at London’s 2,300-capacity O2 Kentish Town Forum.
Currently on an extensive tour of the US, taking in SOLD OUT nights at world-famous venues including New York City’s Radio City Music Hall, Caamp have taken tracks like Millions and previous singles, Drive, Mistakes and Fairview Feeling into the live arena for the very first time. Being able to throw their sound to the back of the biggest arenas became routine for a band that played to 10,000 people at the biggest show of their careers, taking on Columbus’ Nationwide Arena as the hype over Lavender Days reached its crescendo.
Packing that energy for their next transatlantic trip, which also includes stop-offs in Spain, Italy Germany, the Netherlands and France, all of the confirmed, upcoming dates on Caamp’s Copper Changes Colour Europe 2025 Tour, including the UK & Ireland, are as follows:
- Mon 13 Oct – Madrid, Mon Live

Writing a new album that boldly walks the line between genres thanks in part to songwriter, Taylor Meier’s journey of self- and musical-rediscovery on an extended stay in Lower Manhattan, Millions shifts seamlessly from sunny garage rock to muscular Americana over four, swaying minutes. Caamp could never be quite the same band that took time out following the rush of success three years ago, yet the extended period of reflection that followed, finding joy in overlooked, often heavier sounds and reconnecting with the love and trust they have for each other has allowed for fresh diversity in their songwriting and recording to grow.
“I’ve experienced so many different versions of myself these past few years,” Meier says, reflecting on the conditions that let Millions take shape. “I’ve been focusing on healing and recovery while still processing a lot of grief and loss, and it made me take stock of my head and my heart and my friends and my family and figure out what really matters.”
Released on multiple formats, including vinyl, CD and digital, Copper Changes Color was written, performed and produced by the band over two years, with recording and co-production shared with Grammy-winning collaborators, Beatriz Artola (Fleet Foxes, Adele, Sharon Van Etten) and Tucker Martine (Modest Mouse, My Morning Jacket, R.E.M.).
Having first emerged in 2016 with the release of their first, self-titled album, the band – made up of Meier and Westfall alongside Matt Vinson (bass), Joseph Kavalec (keys) and Nicholas Falk (drums) – Caamp quickly established their status amongst a new elite of bands pushing at the possibilities of US alt-folk and finding a global audience. Following up with a further three albums, Boys (2018), By & By (2019) and Lavender Days (2022), critical and audience acclaim for the band’s progressive songcraft has come hand-in-hand with their popularity as a live phenomenon. Furthermore, the band has amassed more than 2.5 billion streams worldwide to date
