Drew Thomas Live At Rough Trade

Coming-of-age stories told through a modern gaze, DREW THOMAS grew up on music channels, scratched CDs, and the glow of a TV left on too late. Inspired by the turn of the millennium. A grit-pop revolution lives in that in-between space. Drew's songs unpack sexuality, hiding your feelings, and the familiar moment of falling out with the bathroom mirror. Rock music shaped by early-noughties honesty, written for anyone who grew up feeling out of place, still learning how to love themselves and the journey that comes with it.
After moving to the capital and cutting his teeth in tiny UK bars, Drew now owns festival stages, previously appearing at Reading & Leeds, The Great Escape, Y Not Festival, and Sweden’s Future Echoes, alongside sell-out shows in Nottingham and London respectively.
Following 2025’s acclaimed Watershed EP, Drew steps into his next era with confidence, cementing his place as a modern LGBTQ+ artist. Breakout single “Girls Like Girls” went viral, pulling in over 2 million Instagram views alone, while “Do They Even Know You” earned BBC Radio 1 plays, along with spins across Amazing Radio, Total Rock and various online radios around the world, and named one of Dean Jackson’s BBC Introducing Most Played Artists of 2025.
