Joe Hicks Announces New Album and Hometown Concert in April

Fans of singer-songwriter Joe Hicks have reason to celebrate. The artist recently announced his upcoming album, titled Before it Gets Dark, set to release on March 27, 2026. This new collection of songs reflects Hicks’ journey through profound grief and personal loss, offering a cathartic exploration of his experiences.

In a heartfelt statement, Hicks shared that the album addresses significant themes in his life, including the death of his father and a difficult breakup. He described it as a reflection of his emotional state, stating, “The album deals with the death of my dad, a breakup, and the darker songs are from the somewhat nihilistic ‘life is meaningless’ perspective of the world I slipped into. The theme of releasing it is coming through that and looking forward; wanting to see the world before it gets dark.”

To mark the occasion of the album’s release, Hicks will perform a hometown concert at Arlington Arts on April 11, 2026. Tickets for the event will be available starting at 10:00 AM local time today, and can be purchased through the venue’s official website. Hicks expressed his gratitude for the support he has received from his hometown, stating, “I’m eternally grateful for the support from my home town, and so proud to have sold out the venue last time for one of my favourite shows to date.”

Hicks, who has recently returned to Newbury after spending time in Bristol, continues to evolve musically. His latest single, Heart in Two, is currently available and delves into the emotional turmoil of witnessing others thrive on social media. The song encapsulates a relatable sentiment while also conveying a message of hope and resilience.

With his new album and upcoming concert, Joe Hicks is poised to connect deeply with his audience, sharing both his struggles and triumphs through music. Fans can look forward to an engaging experience that celebrates his artistic journey. For more information and to listen to his latest single, visit the official link to his performance.
