Lottery Winners are celebrating the news that they’ll be supporting the iconic Robbie Williams on his massive EU and UK stadium / arena tour in 2025 with a brand new single, ‘UFO’ the latest to be released from their upcoming new album KOKO out 21st February 2025 on Modern Sky.

The opportunity to support Robbie has come about in a way that is serendipitous, fortuitous, and so very Lottery Winners.

Their recent hit single ‘You Again’ featuring Reverend & The Makers’ Jon McClure (with its lyrics about a song coming on the radio and catching you off guard) made the BBC Radio 2 A-List, bringing them to the attention of Robbie who instantly got in touch via Instagram to praise it, having been tuning in.

Frontman Thom Rylance explains:

“He heard a tune and reached out and we bonded. Making each other laugh, and discussing life with ADHD. Now, we have pillow talk almost nightly on FaceTime.

He’s become a friend and a mentor. He’s always been one of my idols. Just an incredible command of an audience. The first song I ever sang in public was at primary school – it was Robbie’s hit ‘Strong’. I remember being really nervous before but loving doing it.

This tour means so much to us. It’s absolutely massive – look at the venues! We’re going to throw everything we have at it and it’s going to turn us into superstars in our own right. We’re very grateful to Robbie for the opportunity.”

Lottery Winners ( singer, songwriter and guitarist Thom alongside bassist & vocalist Katie Lloyd, guitarist Rob Lally and drummer Joe Singleton) will be supporting Robbie at huge venues including the Emirates Stadium in London, Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium, Bath’s Royal Crescent, and the Co-Op Arena in Manchester.

To mark this, they share their new single ‘UFO’, which details the experience of feeling like an outsider by Thom, but also the catharsis of music and achieving acceptance on stage.

Thom was twice expelled from high school growing up in Leigh. More than for most frontmen, music really was Thom’s salvation:

“The only time I don’t feel an alien is when I’m on stage. UFO is about how I felt when I’d go to a new school after I’d been expelled. My UFO was my bedroom, playing guitar, as that was how I’d get into outer space: my weird zone of playing guitar and writing songs.

My alien friends in my headphones – Nirvana, The Smiths, Oasis – they took me away to another world, one that was so separate to feeling like an alien no-one wanted to talk to in a new classroom.”

‘UFO’ is a spiritual cousin to ‘Letter To Myself’, the poignant fan favourite track from the band’s 2023 No.1 album ‘Anxiety Replacement Therapy’ in which Thom addressed his 12-year-old self – a tender sentiment that’s become catharsis for band and crowds alike.

A band who have the rare mix of having songs as infectious as their personalities, Lottery Winners announced their new album KOKO (which stands for ‘Keep On Keeping On’) in September, with lead single ‘You Again’ featuring Reverend & The Makers and last month’s ‘Superpower’ which references Thom’s ADHD struggles.

KOKO is produced by Tristan Ivemy and also features guest vocalists Chad Kroeger of Nickelback, Rick Witter of Shed Seven, and Frank Turner, who makes his third consecutive appearance on a Lottery Winners album.

Their previous album Anxiety Replacement Therapy, reached No. 1 in May 2023, and marked a culmination of success achieved in the old-school way. Beating major artists like The National, Nines, and Jessie Ware to the top, the Leigh quartet’s success was a surprise to many—though not to their devoted fanbase, who have long supported one of Britain’s most extravagantly entertaining and hard-working bands.

After playing to over half a million people in 2024 alone, KOKO is a captivating album is poised to expand their fanbase even more.

Lottery Winners will head out on their own UK and Europe headline tour in the New Year, plus a trio of Manchester Academy dates this December to round off their remarkable year. They also have dates scheduled supporting  Frank Turner, Jamie Webster and Blossoms, as well as huge festival dates planned through summer 2025.

Tickets for their headline tour are on-sale now at Ticketmaster.
