Lottery Winners have released their new single, 'Dirt and Gold', featuring Frank Turner.

This is the latest track from their upcoming album 'KOKO', due out on March 21.

The new release marks Mr Turner's third successive appearance on a Lottery Winners album.

Frontman Thom Rylance said: "It’s become a tradition to have Frank on our records now, which is bananas for me to say, as he’s genuinely one of my favourite artists on the planet.

"When I wrote Dirt and Gold, I knew it had to be Frank.

"There’s nobody else who can deliver a chorus like he can.

"With such ferocity, while remaining melodic and tuneful."

"Their energy, creativity, and sheer enthusiasm are infectious—it’s impossible not to have a good time working with them.

"Their ability to craft songs that are both heartfelt and anthemic is second to none, and I was honoured to help bring that song to life."

The single's music video, released on January 17, was filmed at Salford Lads Club and features a boxing gym face-off between Mr Rylance and Mr Turner.

'Dirt and Gold' is the first release of a big year for the band, which includes the launch of their new album and a packed touring schedule.

Their headline UK and EU tour will run through February and March, with an additional date at Alexandra Palace, London, supporting Mr Turner for his 3,000th show.

Throughout the summer, they will also be supporting Robbie Williams on his UK and EU tour.

Their recent single 'You Again' caught Mr Williams' attention after it made the BBC Radio 2 A-List.

This led to a friendship between Mr Rylance and Mr Williams, resulting in the Lottery Winners supporting him at large venues including the Emirates Stadium in London and Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium.

The band's previous album, 'Anxiety Replacement Therapy', reached number 1 in May 2023, beating major artists like The National and Jessie Ware.

After performing to more than half a million people in 2024, including a sold-out three-night stand at Manchester Academy, their upcoming album 'KOKO' is set to further increase their fanbase.

Tickets for their headline tour are available on Ticketmaster.
