Alex Spencer

Like the careers of many other British musicians, Alex Spencer’s career began on the streets of his hometown. However, from his days as a street musician in Manchester, the 19-year-old indie artist—with his polished songwriting and natural stage presence—has already made his way to the big stages of his homeland—most recently even performing on the field at Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium before the start of a Champions League match. After gaining recognition from BBC Breakfast, Radio 1, 6 Music, Introducing, and Radio X, Alex Spencer celebrated his first major success in 2024 at the age of 17: the single “Nightmares,” which was featured on the EA Sports FC 25 soundtrack and established him as one of the most promising young voices in modern indie music. He also earned this status through performances at festivals such as Liverpool Sound City, Neighbourhood Weekender, and TRNSMT Festival, as well as support shows for The K’s, Jamie Webster, The Lathums, Jake Bugg, The Royston Club, Seb Lowe, and Miles Kane, as well as UK tours supporting The Black Keys and Corella. In 2025, Alex Spencer headlined his first tour and sold out the entire run. After another sold-out UK tour in early 2026, the young musician spent the spring opening ten arena shows on Louis Tomlinson’s European tour, where he performed for a total of 100,000 people. In September, Alex Spencer will return to mainland Europe as the headliner on the “These Will Be The Days” European Tour 2026 and will perform live in Cologne, Hamburg, and Berlin.
