Militarie Gun have revealed their UK and European tour plans for early 2026.

The hotly-tipped Los Angeles-based quintet, fronted by vocalist Ian Shelton, are set to release their second album, God Save The Gun, on October 17 via Loma Vista Recordings. And following on from last month's release of the album's lead-off single, B A D I D E A, today the band have shared a second single from the record, Throw Me Away.

To celebrate their return, the band are playing two tiny club shows in London this week: tonight, September 10, at the Bread and Butter Lounge in Shoreditch, east London and tomorrow, September 11, at the Bermondsey Social Club in south London.

As listed below, the five UK shows they've scheduled in February will be staged in significantly larger venues.

Speaking about the meaning behind his band's new single, Ian Shelton says, "Throw Me Away is about the feeling of only being valued when you’re visible or useful and the desperate need to hold onto that. What someone loves about you one day might be cited as a reason they hate you now. It’s the desire for external validation and also the deep resentment of it."
