Get the Karma Effect at Rock City this autumn
Fast-rising South London rockers The Karma Effect have today confirmed a new 13-date UK headline tour for autumn 2026 in support of their eagerly-awaited forthcoming third album ‘Cruel Intentions,’ which is set for release on May 15.
And they will hit Rock City in Nottingham on November 7, ably supported by special guests Juliet’s Not Dead.


When The Karma Effect was quietly born in the pandemic, vocalist Henry Gottelier and guitarist Robbie Blake could hear in their heads how they wanted the project to sound.
From their organic, rootsy, eponymously-titled 2022 debut, followed by 2024’s UK top 20 release Promised Land’, this new album is now intended to cement their role as one of British guitar music’s most exciting outfits.
Cruel Intentions is a collection which captures the visceral atmosphere of the band’s lauded live performances and is leaner, louder, heavier and joyously larger-than-life.
Henry said: "This album is the culmination of everything we have.
"While collaborating again with producer Michael Charman, we brought in Mercury and Grammy-nominated Romesh Dodangoda specifically for the mix, because we were obsessed with making every single note count.
"The result is a sound so big, it’s a stadium experience for your ears."
