Melding sludge, punk, and riotous energy with an unmistakable gothic tinge, Witch Fever have jumped to the forefront of the UK's alternative rock and metal scene thanks to their unparalleled stagecraft and fearlessness in dealing with the most difficult of topics, both in their lyrics and beyond. The four-piece – who recently embarked on a huge 41-date tour with Volbeat, released their critically acclaimed sophomore album FEVEREATEN, and are now embarking on their own European headline tour – have made headlines for shedding light on the harsh reality of touring in 2026.In a clip that has since gone viral, the band revealed that they got to the end of an arena tour and “all our profit is all stuck in withholding taxes across Europe”.Singer Amy Walpole opened up about their financial troubles on the 101 Part Time Jobs podcast . “We’re broke as fuck – and we just did two months in arenas," said Walpole. “We also can't get a job because we're back on tour in March, so nowhere will hire us. I'm currently living off four grand of my late mother's pension that I got at the end of last year. This is just crazy that this is what the music industry is like at the moment.”
