Dexys Midnight Runners are an English band from Birmingham, founded in 1978 by Kevin Rowland. They topped the charts on both sides of the Atlantic with 'Come On Eileen' (1982) and 'Geno' (1980), blending soul, Celtic folk and post-punk into a sound that was entirely their own. After years performing under the shortened name Dexys, the band reverted to the full Dexys Midnight Runners name in 2026 and signed to Heavenly Recordings ahead of a new album.
Dexys Midnight Runners announced their new album 'Love', due September 4, 2026 via Heavenly Recordings, produced by David Holmes, and added an extra London tour date due to demand.
The band signed to Heavenly Recordings and announced a UK and Ireland tour for autumn 2026 - their first shows under the Dexys Midnight Runners name since 2003.
Dexys released the live album 'The Feminine Divine + Dexys Classics: Live!' and performed at Glastonbury 2024.
On Record Store Day UK 2024, Dexys released a special vinyl of 'Dance With Me', remixed by Dutch Uncles.
