Hard-Fi Ignites the Comeback Trail with ‘Don’t Go Making Plans’ – A Decade’s Wait Ends

Die-hard fans rejoice! After a ten-year hiatus, Hard-Fi has burst back onto the scene, dropping their brand-new single ‘Don’t Go Making Plans’. This long-anticipated track not only signifies their resurgence but also serves as a tantalizing teaser for their forthcoming EP, unleashed by Ignition Records. Let’s dive into what makes their latest offering a playlist essential.
- The band made a striking return to live performances in October 2022, playing to a sold-out crowd at London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town, and also graced the stage at Manchester’s Neighbourhood Festival.
- Fans were blessed with another unforgettable moment when Hard-Fi headlined a Stand Up To Cancer charity event at Union Chapel in early 2023, further cementing their commitment to impactful music and notable causes.
- Beyond charity shows, they’ve rekindled their affinity with the road, embarking on their first UK tour in over a decade to the delight of eager fans.
Unapologetically political, ‘Don’t Go Making Plans’ emerges as more than just an earworm; it’s a vibrant protest anthem with a beat. Richard Archer crafts a song to be experienced—inside a club’s pulsating atmosphere or through the airwaves. It’s music with a message, critiquing government legislation that attempts to quell protests by advocating the fundamental need for disruption in democracy. It’s a bold statement set to danceable tunes—a paradox that captures the essence of Hard-Fi’s musical expertise.
Their current tour is seeing packed venues across the UK, with the energy and engagement speaking volumes of their maintained relevance in today’s music scene. Check out their explosive single and witness their invigorating live performances later this year:
