May 29th, 2026 — BRIT Award winners and global arena headliners Jungle unveil their latest single "The Wave", offering yet another taste of their highly anticipated fifth studio album, 'Sunshine', arriving on August 14th. The new track follows the success of lead single "Carry On", which debuted as BBC Radio 1's Hottest Record and quickly amassed over 14 million streams alongside heavy international airplay. Fans can stream the new single HERE and pre-order/pre-save the album HERE.

The trio—
J Lloyd, Tom McFarland, and Lydia Kitto—took inspiration for "The Wave" from the Brazilian music scene of the '60s and '70s, channelling the warmth and musicality of that era into a distinctly sleek production. Lyrically, the track is about finding the strength to persevere with a relationship as it goes through challenges, delivering a dose of optimism in the face of tough times.

This upcoming album follows the massive momentum of their 2023 breakthrough 
'Volcano', the album that yielded the huge viral hit "Back On 74", which alone has surpassed 557 million streams and achieved widespread traction across TikTok and global charts. Physical pre-orders for 'Sunshine' are available HERE, with formats featuring standard black 180g single gatefold LP, Desert Peach single gatefold LP, translucent brown marble single gatefold LP, and digipak CD.

The band's upcoming world tour kicks off this September with a run of massive arena dates spanning North America, the UK, Europe and Australia.
