NECK DEEP announce Alexandra Palace headline show and drop new single ‘Take Me With You’
Modern Pop Punk heavyweights Neck Deep are back with new music and the announcement of their biggest ever headline show! The new single ‘Take Me With You’ is topically themed around aliens both musically and visually as they wishfully ask to be taken away from this planet by our extra terrestrial neighbours. The song is Neck Deep doing what they do best, providing catchy, heartfelt pop punk that for many provides an escape from the pressures of life. It’s this quality that has seen them sell out huge venues around the world and now they have announced their biggest UK headline show to date at London’s Alexandra Palace on March 28th 2024.
Speaking on the single frontman Ben Barlow says: “‘Take Me With You’ is one of those songs where I had the title first… Literally as simple as – we should write a song about aliens called Take Me With You. So conceptually and lyrically it was pretty straightforward. A few of us in the band are big UFO heads, particularly Seb (Barlow, bass), so we had a lot of fun writing this one.”
“As always there’s a slight social commentary, ultimately I’d rather be (hypothetically) abducted by aliens than stick round on this ‘hellish sack of burning trash’. I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t a slight nod to Blink 182’s ‘Aliens Exist’ too, but you can blame Tom for infecting my fragile mind at a young age and then going and busting the UFO world wide open! It’s a little bit of fun before we come at people with the more meaningful stuff a little later down the line.”

Speaking on the Alexandra Palace announcement, Ben says: “it’s been a long time coming but we’re stoked to be finally headlining Ally Pally! We’ve supported a few times there and always loved the venue. But now – it’s our turn, for our biggest ever headline show. I’m expecting it to be the best Neck Deep show ever, and you wouldn’t wanna miss that would ya?”
Tickets for Alexandra Palace, go on sale at 10AM this Friday.
