The Longest Johns - NEW TOUR 2026 @thelongestjohns.bsky.social · 7h ago

It's nearly Bandcamp Friday! Also happy birthday! Bandcamp Friday is an event where the online music store Bandcamp waives its cut of sales fees, giving more direct to the artist. It's a great way to support bands you love (not just us!) thelongestjohns.bandcamp.com #TheLongestJohns #BandcampFriday

A picture saying DID YOU KNOW, and the text "if you had been born on thee 7th day of the 8th month" with a big red arrow pointing to a calendar where the 7th of August has been circled

a continuation of the previous thought saying "then it would nearly be" then an image of a group of people celebrating and dancing outdoors in a field, above more rainbow-coloured text saying "your BIRTHDAY!"

Lastly, a message saying 'happy birthday from the Longest Johns (social media dept.), and a screenshot of the TLJ Bandcamp front page, where you can see the album Ends of the Earth.

When redecorating your crypt, dungeon, or chamber of torment, it's important to pick a colour scheme that really 💥POPS💥 Catacomb Charcoal and Maze Mahogany have been the mainstay, but in 2026 might we suggest a range of Labyrinth Blues? www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNLZ... #TheLongestJohns #Pun #Sorry

Lastly, The Longest Johns, the crudely-drawn MS Paint three-headed figure in dungarrees, lying in a patch of grass under the shade of a tree, while a nearby bearded sun looks on but its rays are mysteriously unable to land upon them.

A post-show photo of the band plus Sean Dagher posing along the edge of the stage, facing back towards the camera with the audience behind them, with everyone cheering and celebrating the end of the show and looking happy for the camera. Behind Robbie and Antonio, on the right, is a large black flag with skull & crossed swords on it.

A post-show photo showing the band, once more with Sean Dagher, lined up along the stage with the audience behind them. There's a fuchsia light bathing the scene. JD has his arms spread wide, and Andy is his hand upturned as if summoning power. Numerous members of the audience have their arms up in celebration.

An end-of-show photo where the band, with Sean, are this time sat along the front of the stage, audience as ever behind them. Andy in the middle has his right index finger to his mouth in coy surprise, and JD is leaning back with his arm around an audience member in a familiar pair of mustard-coloured dungarees. The audience are cheering and celebrating, both on the floor and up in the balcony surrounding the room.

Last photo, with the band once again celebrating with the audience. Andy has returned to his upturned hand gesture, JD his arms wide, Robbie looks aghast for some reason, and the audience are covered in red light whilst hooting, hollering, and celebrating.

We've received reports of a rogue captain in the area. Previously accused of fraudulently impersonating a ship's captain, he now harbours loftier ambitions. If you hear airplane mouth noises coming from the cockpit, please calmly disembark and wait for the next one. www.thelongestjohns.com/live

A photo of a bearded man in a yellow t-shirt (Robbie) sitting in the cockpit of a small yellow plane, parked up in an aviation museum. He looks slightly surprised at being photographed.

A picture of THE SAME BEARDED MAN (but much younger) wearing a red coat with gold embroidery, holding a tankard in his right hand and vigorously pointing with his left. He is stood on the deck of what is definitely a ship, and not just an assembly of cardboard boxes and a wooden stick for a mast, in a field. The sea is just green now.

Thank you to Westben Arts Festival and Mariposa (and Niagara Falls) for having us! Tonight we're at Lee's Palace in Toronto, so get your tickets and come see us! www.thelongestjohns.com/live #TheLongestJohns #Canada #Toronto #LiveMusic #UKFolkMusic

A photo of the band performing on stage at a festival. JD and Andy can be seen closest to the front of the stage, with Robbie further back and partially occluded by Andy. Anto and... a drummer that's not Florin (I don't know his name, apologies) are towards the back of the stage. Everyone is singing into a mic. The stage has a large fabric backdrop showing bright blue skies and the crocodile island from the Ends of the Earth album artwork, and then the room itself has the appearance of a barn, with lots of exposed wood walls and beams. Honestly looks cool as heck.

A group photo showing members of TLJ (as well as other performers from the festival whose names I don't have) bunched up and posing for a photograph.

A photo showing Anto, JD, Caz, Claire, Andy, and Robbie all wearing bright pink plastic macs, and soaking wet, as they pose for a picture at Niagara Falls. A lot of the background is washed out in white water spray, but through this mist you can just about see sheer wall of water looming behind them.

A tour poster showing upcoming dates for the TLJ Canada tour. It shows the Ends of the Earth cartoon artwork (depicting a tropical island on the back of a giant crocodile, strewn with various other animals such as hippos, snakes, and manatees, and towering rickety structures as signs of habitation). There is also text saying "EXTRA DATES ADDED"

An image showing a return of the Longest Johns MS Paint cartoon self, this time arranged around the maple leaf in the centre of the Canada flag (in what may read as a national insult? Apologies if so). Blank expressions stare outward, perhaps unsure as to how wise it was to transform in this way.
