Catfish and the Bottlemen, the acclaimed British rock band, have signed with Wasserman for worldwide representation, excluding Europe and the UK. In these regions, they will continue their partnership with Primary Talent International. Their UK public relations remain under the guidance of Dawbell.
Career Overview: Formed in Llandudno, Wales, in 2007, Catfish and the Bottlemen quickly gained prominence with their energetic performances and catchy indie rock sound. Their debut album, The Balcony (2014), achieved platinum status and featured hits like “Kathleen” and “Cocoon.” The band’s sophomore effort, The Ride (2016), debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart, solidifying their status in the rock scene. Their third album, The Balance (2019), continued their success, reaching number two on the UK Albums Chart.
Recent Developments: In 2021, the band announced a hiatus following the departure of guitarist Johnny Bond and drummer Bob Hall. However, in early 2024, Catfish and the Bottlemen made a notable return with the release of their single “Showtime,” marking their first new music in five years. They also announced a series of live performances, including headline stadium shows scheduled for August 2025 at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. Despite some cancellations earlier in 2024 due to health issues, the band has confirmed that these upcoming UK shows will proceed as planned.
With their renewed representation and upcoming performances, Catfish and the Bottlemen are poised to reestablish their presence in the global music scene, much to the anticipation of their dedicated fanbase.
