The Shires - Bonfire

Pre-Order.  Released 03/07/2026

Pioneering British country duo The Shires return with their sixth studio album, Bonfire — a warm and joyous celebration of letting go, coming together, and forging connection. Their first album since the Top 5 hit 10 Year Plan, Bonfire blends high-level musicality with an escapist ethos that prioritizes fun and instinctive songwriting over overthinking. The carefully curated 12-track project features boot-stomping barn burners and stripped-down tearjerkers, combining the intimacy of singing around a piano with the togetherness of a crackling fire. Bonfire is joy in melodic form — a reminder of music's power to bring us together and leave worries behind. Available for pre-order. Released 3 July 2026.
