Alex Spencer is a 19-year-old indie artist from Manchester, quickly establishing himself as one of the UK’s most exciting new voices. Known for his sharp songwriting, raw honesty and electric live energy, Alex first gained attention busking on the streets of his hometown before earning support from BBC Radio 1 & 6 Music, BBC Introducing, Radio X and CLASH Magazine, while also reaching a global audience when his single Nightmares featured on the EA SPORTS FC25 soundtrack.
Following the momentum of his 2025 EP Where Do We Go From Here?, Alex has entered a bold new chapter with releases including Masks, Farewell To Forever and latest single These Will Be The Days — the first glimpse into a forthcoming new EP era. Blending vulnerability with soaring indie hooks, his latest material showcases a more mature and reflective sound while retaining the urgency and honesty that first set him apart.
Renowned for his powerful live performances, Alex has gone from busking to major stages — including a standout pitch-side performance at Manchester City’s packed Etihad Stadium ahead of a Champions League fixture — and has built a reputation as one of the UK’s most compelling emerging live acts. His February 2026 UK headline tour sold out in advance, including a triumphant 900-capacity hometown show at Manchester Academy 2, continuing a rapid rise that has seen him pack venues across the country.
2026 has already proven to be a defining year. Following his sold-out headline tour, Alex returned from a major European arena tour supporting Louis Tomlinson, performing across 8 countries to more than 100,000 people. His performances stood out night after night, winning over thousands of new fans and cementing his reputation as a compelling live artist on some of Europe’s biggest stages.
He has also appeared at major UK festivals including Liverpool Sound City, Neighbourhood Weekender and TRNSMT Festival, alongside UK tour dates supporting The Black Keys.
With new music arriving and a rapidly growing fanbase behind him, Alex Spencer is stepping confidently into his next era — capturing youth, nostalgia and the feeling of living in the moment, while bringing a fresh wave of Manchester indie to a global audience.
“Here’s to the rise of the young — we’re what the future becomes.”
