The film will be released in 2026, with specific details to be revealed early next year. The band teased ‘Getting Away With It’ on Instagram earlier this week, alongside a clip of frontman Tim Booth stagediving at a gig.
News of the documentary follows the release of ‘Nothing But Love – The Definitive Best Of’ earlier this week – a compilation record that documents the band’s entire career. The album is available here.
It also includes two new tracks, ‘Wake Up Superman’ and ‘Hallelujah Anyhow’, produced by Leo Abrahams, who worked with the band on their 2024 album ‘Yummy’.

In other news, earlier this year, Booth hit out at far-right activist Tommy Robinson and attendees of the “unite the kingdom” rally, for their “cynical” use of the band’s track ‘Sit Down’.
Robinson used the song in a video posted to X/Twitter, which showed the size of the crowd at the rally. Booth said he was “disgusted” by the use of the song, without the band’s permission, and called the track “the antithesis” of the far-right activist’s movement.
