BICEP

Belfast-born duo BICEP return with their first new music of 2026, arriving in the form of the three-track offering ‘Air / Lemonder / Viper’, out now on Ninja Tune. It marks BICEP’s first standalone release under their own name since the conclusion of their acclaimed 2021 ‘Isles’ album campaign, which reached #2 on the UK Albums Chart, and earning the duo two BRIT Award nominations. It also arrives ahead of the return of their renowned BICEP LIVE show, with a November performance at the Royal Albert Hall selling-out within minutes. Previous live tours have included headline performances at festivals like Glastonbury and Coachella, alongside sold-out takeovers of London’s Finsbury Park, Brighton Beach, Drumsheds, and back-to-back sold-out shows at London’s Alexandra Palace. The duo have also played a headline arena-tour throughout Europe including Zenith Paris, Lotto Arena Antwerp and UFO Velodrom Berlin, and a run of high-profile festival and headline shows across North America which included Primavera LA and Portola. ‘Air / Lemonder / Viper’ follows 2025’s collaborative soundtrack ‘TAKKUUK’ – working with Indigenous vocalists from across the Arctic region – as well as the duo’s acclaimed ‘CHROMA’ project, which marked a significant evolution for BICEP by bringing together a record label and a series of curated events, all built around an ethos spanning everything “from Acid to Alkaline”.
