Bleachers Unveil “The Van” Video and Announce Major 2026 European Tour

Marking a dynamic return to the spotlight, Bleachers have released a visually striking music video for their latest single, “The Van.” Directed by Alex Lockett, the video serves as a creative entry point to the band’s next chapter, building momentum ahead of the eagerly awaited album “Everyone for Ten Minutes,” which will debut on May 22 through Dirty Hit.

“The Van” follows in the wake of two previous singles—“You and Forever” and “Dirty Wedding Dress”—all previewing a record that promises both sonic diversity and emotional depth. Listeners can expect a blend stretching from harmony-rich folk rock to infectious pop-soul, as well as the signature saxophone-laden sound that has come to define Bleachers’ unique New Jersey-inspired pop. The musical tapestry is set to reinforce the band’s reputation for genre-blending and inventive production.

Earlier this year, Bleachers also drew attention with a video for “You and Forever,” featuring actress Margaret Qualley, as well as a special live performance recorded at the legendary Electric Lady Studios. These releases have further expanded the anticipation for the new album, painting a vivid picture of the group’s evolving creative vision.

Fronted by Jack Antonoff—a thirteen-time Grammy winner—Bleachers have cultivated a dedicated global fanbase since their 2014 debut “Strange Desire.” Renowned for their vibrant live shows, the band’s stage presence has become a defining trait, seeing them move from critical darlings to festival favorites across continents.

In a significant move, Bleachers have announced what will be their largest European tour to date in support of “Everyone for Ten Minutes.” Throughout November and December 2026, the band will play multiple cities across the continent, underscoring their growing international appeal. Notably, they are scheduled to perform in Stockholm at Annexet on November 13, offering Swedish fans the chance to catch their acclaimed live energy firsthand. Further dates and locations for the tour are expected to be revealed, heightening anticipation across Europe.

The upcoming album is described as the culmination of Bleachers’ journey as a group—an uplifting and energetic work that retains an undercurrent of darker introspection. While hope and optimism rise to the surface throughout, there are also more contemplative moments that speak to resilience and forward-looking love. This thematic range comes on the heels of their 2024 self-titled album, a project that garnered praise from both audiences and critics alike. Respected publications, including Rolling Stone and NME, highlighted Antonoff’s artistic vision and the band’s ability to capture a sense of spiritual exuberance in their music.

As “Everyone for Ten Minutes” prepares to make its global impact, and with a major tour on the horizon, 2026 is already shaping up to be a pivotal year for Bleachers. Their blend of heartfelt songwriting, production ambition, and onstage magnetism continues to earn widespread acclaim, all signs pointing toward a new creative peak for the band and their continually growing fanbase.
