Lambrini Girls announce a 2027 North American tour and share ‘The Basement’ and ‘Spilt’ ahead of ‘No Refunds’
Lambrini Girls are coming back to North America, and this time they intend to finish the job. The Brighton punk duo of Phoebe Lunny and Selin Macieira-Boşgelmez have announced an extensive 2027 tour, a run that threads a UK and European stretch together with a North American leg that opens March 25 at Washington, D.C.’s 9:30 Club and winds through Boston, New York, Toronto, Chicago, Denver, San Francisco, and more before closing April 16 at Portland’s Crystal Ballroom. The dates arrive alongside a new double single, “The Basement” and “Spilt,” the latest preview of their second album, No Refunds, due January 15, 2027 via City Slang.
The timing carries weight. Lambrini Girls’ last attempt at a proper North American headline run collapsed when Lunny fractured her neck and sustained a brain injury during the band’s first Australian tour, forcing them to scrap a Coachella debut and reschedule a full American itinerary. This announcement reads less like routine album-cycle promotion and more like a band reclaiming ground it was forced to give up.
Two Songs, Two Registers
“The Basement” and “Spilt” function as a study in contrast, which is the point. “The Basement“ turns the duo’s attention toward the online spaces that radicalize isolated men, a track the band describe as the story of a sad little man pulled into the manosphere. It extends the thematic scope the group has promised for No Refunds, a record pitched to confront fascism, AI, reproductive rights, and genocide in the same blunt language that defined their debut.
“Spilt” goes the other direction entirely. It is an acoustic song about alcohol dependency, stripped of the distortion that has been Lambrini Girls’ default setting since they emerged. “It was exciting and challenging to do something that’s so different to the rest of the album and what we do in general, but to make it as powerful in its own way,” Macieira-Boşgelmez said of the track. For a band built on confrontation, the quietest move on the record may be the riskiest.
The two songs follow earlier singles “Cult of Celebrity” and “Bang Bang Bang,” both of which landed on the 11-track No Refunds when the duo announced the album in September. Together they sketch a sophomore record determined to widen the band’s range without blunting its edge.
From Postponement to Payoff
The stakes around this cycle are higher than they were in 2025. Who Let the Dogs Out, the band’s debut, reached the Top 20 of the UK albums chart and topped the Official Rock & Metal Albums Chart, turning a scrappy DIY reputation into genuine festival-level demand. The record also followed a brutal stretch for both members, with Macieira-Boşgelmez having stepped back from touring in late 2025 amid burnout, and Lunny’s injury sidelining the group soon after.
That history is why a routed, city-by-city North American tour matters here. It is proof of recovery as much as a promotional calendar. Several of the UK and European dates already carry low-ticket and sold-out warnings, including both Amsterdam Melkweg shows and a second Paris date at Elysée Montmartre, a signal that the audience built around the debut has not cooled during the layoff.
No Refunds arrives January 15, 2027. The North American tour begins that March. For a band that spent the better part of a year watching plans fall apart, the schedule itself is the statement.
