“Don’t underestimate the power of the fans. For Only The Poets, it is expressly obvious that this is a fan-first band. Live music at its heart is built on connection and this band know that too well.”
After everything this legend has done for us, we’d love nothing more than to see him at Number 1.
Grab a CD if you can, no one deserves it more

"It’s something that is very, very important to me because I know myself, if I hadn’t got into this, some people are charging like 400 quid a ticket or summat daft. I wouldn’t be able to afford that. It’s important that that's representative."
-Louis on affordable tickets.
Quit university 10 years ago to do an internship for The 1975. Because I thought they’d be the biggest band in the world.
Amazing to see them headline Reading Festival, what a band!!!
Thank you to all of you!!
This is a partnership that doesn’t change the boys control on their creative output and most importantly their connection with you.
THANK YOU! Because of your support we’ve signed a record deal with EMI. We printed your names to say thank you!
This doesn’t change anything. We’ve partnered with EMI because they listened to our vision and want to help us tell ours & your stories!
Forever your little band.
Everything is happening so fast right now. The lads are opening an arena tour for

in Europe 🤯 not something I ever thought I’d write ha
@onlythepoetsuk
the demand for some of the OTP tickets is something we never expected.
I’m sorry if you’re disappointed, we’re constantly learning and trying to find the best and fairest way to do things.
We take all of your comments and thoughts into account. Thanks for your support
Badly sprained ankle so in this boot for the rest of the tour 💔 I promise to still give you as much energy as I can and make sure the show doesn’t suffer. It’s going to feel weird not bouncing around the stage but I know you guys will understand and support. Love you all. ❤️❤️❤️
Purple Turtle is a small bar + next to a busy road. Please don’t camp this early, go find a nice cafe.
Arriving earlier and earlier for shows is becoming dangerous. It adds extra stress to venue staff, who are trying to do their jobs.
In future let’s put safety & fairness first
Flight number 22 of the year done. Krakow and the whole Poland tour was amazing. Love it there.
Boys are playing their last Polish show right now in Wrocław.
Over 3500 tickets sold in Poland in the summer 🇵🇱❤️

Had so many meetings about dates, announcement dates, on-sale dates, ticket price, financial accessibility etc
Boys are trying to do this differently and your feedback fuels that. Thank you.
So today is the boys biggest (indoor) gig in Europe. 950 in Rotterdam 🇳🇱 and tomorrow is 1600 in Cologne 🇩🇪
@onlythepoetsuk
What a crazy year it’s been! Thank you 🙏
The summer tour was a response to how amazing the fans support was. We pulled 14 shows together with 7 weeks from announcement to show 1. Every moment of stress was worth.
Krakow - 650 people tonight

stepped up to run the biggest thing we’ve ever done. Proud of you boys x
Inspired by this I’d like to do something around music management / music industry
Would this be of interest? What would it help to include / cover?
Just ideas atm. I don’t know everything and I’m learning daily but want to do my best to help people entering the industry
We’re super excited to be teaming up with &

All details are below, head to our bio
Let’s talk about gig ticket prices… what’s a fair price for small, medium and large size shows?
Ticket + Booking fee
Always looking to get this right as the boys move to different venues
Platinum tickets removed from Only The Poets shows.
The boys have sold 1504 out of 1600.
96 remaining tickets available at normal price.
Anyone that bought a platinum ticket will be offered a refund (please take it) and guaranteed a normal ticket.
Thank you x
DO NOT buy these tickets for an Only The Poets show.
This wasn’t approved by us and I will be requested it’s removed.
Fuck you
@Ticketmaster
you wouldn’t exist without the fans
The only way we can do this is with honesty.
Please only pick the Low Income tickets if they are right for you.
I want the band to be able to do this for ever and to show other artists this can work and genuinely help people

Thanks for all your support and generosity. ❤️
Last night felt like a celebration of everything the fans have built around the band.
We‘re trying our best everyday to give back the energy you give. Thank you.

Venues forcing artists to give them 20% of total merch take not even 20% of the profit, is something I have never understood.
Wanted to give an option for people to buy directly from the band at a cheaper rate. Hope it works
Cologne 🇩🇪 the venue are forcing us to pay them 20% of all Merch sales. Which means higher priced merch in the venue.
SO INSTEAD we have a pop up shop near the venue where all merch is CHEAPER.
It’s free to enter and open 11am-7pm
Cash and Card payment options
Help needed… Camping / early queues at shows is becoming more common, but why? What’s driving it?
Safety is the most important aspect, what time is a safe time to start queues on a show day? and why? And how to make it fair?
This is OUR TIME. We’re an unsigned band and because of your amazing support we’re going to release this EP independently. THANK YOU.
OUR TIME out Oct 14th. Signed CD Pre-order available now. ❤️ link in bio

This isn’t a normal thing to do haha.
Artists don’t normally go back to a market early and defo don’t play cities they’ve got no support in, not at the boys size.
It just felt right! Something special happening here, thank you 🙏
@onlythepoetsuk
It’s a real shame some people can’t respect boundaries and think sharing personal information online is being a good ‘fan’. I can assure you… it’s not.
So we’ve just seen the April tour dates…
We’re going to make sure we announce them this year but hold back the sale until January, so you can plan, we hope this helps x
In March we put a tour on sale with the capacity of about 4000 tickets. At the time it was very ambitious, a-bit of a risk to go to so many places and the London venue was way to big if we were being honest.
Look what you guys have done. Thank you for making my job fun.
DO NOT buy these tickets for an Only The Poets show.
This wasn’t approved by us and I will be requested it’s removed.

It’s safety first today. Please stick to the guidelines set by the security team. Sadly we will have to pull the event if we’re worried.
TODAY IS GONNA BE AMAZING
