The British band Glass Animals will perform on the first day of NOS Alive’25 on the Heineken Stage.

Glass Animals are composed of Dave Bayley (lead vocals, production), Drew MacFarlane (guitar, keyboards), Ed Irwin-Singer (bass, keyboards), and Joe Seaward (drums). They gained prominence with their debut album, ZABA (2014), which featured the hit song “Gooey,” known for its lush and experimental sound. Their second album, How to Be a Human Being (2016), took a unique narrative approach, with each song representing a fictional character inspired by people they met while touring.

In 2020, they returned with Dreamland, an introspective album reflecting Bayley’s personal experiences, including childhood and complex relationships. It introduced the world to the viral hit “Heat Waves,” which propelled them to global fame and became an anthem during the pandemic. By 2022, they continued to enjoy the success of Dreamland and “Heat Waves,” which earned them a GRAMMY® nomination for Best New Artist.

This July, they released their fourth studio album, I Love You So F**ing Much, which delves into themes of love and emotional vulnerability, reflecting Bayley’s experience with fame after the success of Dreamland. The lead single, “Creatures in Heaven,” marks the band’s return to the bold and atmospheric sounds that define their music.
