Squeeze Release Second Track From Highly Anticipated 2026 Album ‘Trixies’

by | Dec 5, 2025

 Squeeze continue to pull back the curtain into the intriguing world of Trixies with the release of the second song from one of 2026’s most anticipated albums.

Their first album in eight years but the first they ever wrote, Trixies is a collection of stories set in a fictional night club written by the band’s founders teenage Chris Difford (19) and Glenn Tilbrook (16) at the very start of their songwriting partnership.

Back in 1974, when Trixies was written, the musical vision of the young creators exceeded their virtuosity. Now, fifty years on, that problem no longer exists for the band who have played more than 600 shows since reuniting in 2007. So what better way to mark 50+ years of Squeeze than to complete the circle and realise the vision they had for Trixies?  Now this precocious opening volley of songs – under the guiding production hand of Squeeze’s bassist Owen Biddle (The Roots, John Legend, Al Green) – finally gets to enjoy its moment in the spotlight.

 

Trixies Tracklisting:

What More Can I Say

You Get The Feeling

The Place We Call Mars

Hell On Earth

The Dancer

Good Riddance

Don’t Go Out In the Dark

Why Don’t You

Anything But Me

Squeeze are one of pop’s best-loved bands with a catalogue of sky-high classics such as ‘Up The Junction’, ‘Tempted’, ‘Cool For Cats’, ‘Another Nail In My Heart’ and ‘Labelled With Love’ and whose live shows are legendary. Currently on tour with Madness, Squeeze have recently announced the most ambitious UK tour of their career, one that will also support the anti-poverty charity Trussell Trust and Grassroots Music Venues. The 16-date Tried, Tested and Trixies Tour in 2026, starting at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on November 12, and ending at the Brighton Centre on December 5, will see Squeeze headline several arenas for the first time – including a hometown show at London’s O2 Arena just 3 miles from where the band started. Joining Squeeze on the tour as Very Special Guest will be singer, songwriter and activist Billy Bragg.
