Spirit of Your Friend

Doves have today released their latest single ‘Spirit Of Your Friend’ via EMI North. The track was originally recorded during the sessions for Kingdom of Rust. Originally titled ‘Eastern Roll’ the track was mentioned by the band on press interviews for possible inclusion on the Kingdom of Rust. Obviously not making the cut back then, the track will be included on the upcoming Best of album released on November 14th.

Also announced today. Doves will join James on their UK arena tour next April 2026. See poster above for the dates. Includes places Doves haven’t played in awhile such as Cardiff & Aberdeen.
