The Enemy To Perform At Victorious Festival 2026

August Bank Holiday 2026 is already looking like a right scorcher as The Enemy join a host of other bands and artists at the award winning Victorious Festival.

Held at Southsea, Portsmouth on the English south coast with day tickets and camping available, it looks like this year could become another award winning year.

Friday 28th August is headlined by Richard Ashcroft and features acts such as Faithless, The Vaccines and Scissor Sisters. 

The Black Keys and Primal Scream are two of the acts lined up for Saturday 29th August.

The third day will see The Enemy and Kasabian reunited during the Sunday line up, in what promises to be a throw back to great Indie music.

The Enemy - Social Disguises Album

The Enemy will be releasing their long awaited fifth studio album Social Disguises on Friday 20th February 2026.

It is promising to be a return to their roots, bringing the Coventry band back to their indie anthem days when they released their first album, We'll Live And Die In These Towns in July 2007 which shot straight to the top of the Official UK Album Charts. 

Two tracks from Social Disguises have already been released, giving fans a taster of what to expect from the 2026 album. Not Going Your Way and Trouble were well received during The Enemy 2025 tour. Fans have been delighted with the first new material from Tom Clarke, Andy Hopkins and Liam Watts since reforming in 2022. 

 Social Disguises is available for pre-order from The Enemy and all good record stores.

Lyrics: 

Can someone please explain

Cos I feel like I’m insane

I don’t understand a thing these days

Maybe I’m too set in my ways

Can someone put me back on track

Before I have a heart attack 

I don’t understand a thing you say

Every conversation’s like a maze 

And if it 

Looks like trouble 

Sounds like trouble 

Smells like trouble

It must be trouble, yeah 

Oh if it looks like trouble 

Sounds like trouble 

Smells like trouble

It must be trouble, yeah 

Can someone please explain

Cos I feel like I’m in pain 

I don’t understand a thing these days

Maybe I’m too set in my ways

Can someone put me back on track

Before I have a heart attack 

I don’t understand a word you say

Every conversation’s like a maze 

And if it 

Looks like trouble 

Sounds like trouble 

Smells like trouble

It must be trouble, yeah 

Oh if it looks like trouble 

Sounds like trouble 

Smells like trouble

It must be trouble, yeah 

Well you know, and I know

Exactly what this is

We both know, it’s a no-go

It’s just trouble, and you know it 

You know it looks like trouble 

Sounds like trouble 

Smells like trouble

It must be trouble, yeah 

Oh if it looks like trouble 

Sounds like trouble 

Smells like trouble

It must be trouble, yeah

Lyrics:

Well just the other night,

I said I don't wanna fight,

But is something wrong?

Is something wrong?

Cos you've been so far away,

And I didn't wanna say,

But it's been so long,

It's been so long,

Oh I'm not going your way,

You're not coming my way no,

Oh oh oh,

She said I'm feeling fine,

But she says that every time,

It means she's not,

Oh no she's not,

Well I just shook my head,

Is this romance really dead?

It's just so hard,

That's what she said,

Oh I'm not going your way,

You're not coming my way no,

Oh oh oh,

If you don't wanna stay no more,

Then I don't wanna play no more, 

Can't deal with you this way no more,

Just let me go,

Oh oh oh,

I said I've wasted all my time,

The best years of my life, 

And she said no,

You've wasted mine,

Well now that it's all done,

I hope you had your fun,

And she said no,

I had none,

Oh I'm not going your way,

You're not coming my way no,

Oh oh oh
