Gnome’s new single “Duke of Disgrace” out on March 27th

Antwerp powertrio Gnome launch a video for single “Duke Of Disgrace”. The track, taken from the band’s last album, is being released to coincide with a UK tour starting on the 29th March 2026. The video for the track contains footage of the bands 2025 appearance at UK’s Bloodstock festival and other shows.

“Duke Of Disgrace” is the perfect showcase for the Gnome sound. The band piles riff upon riff overlaid with an infectious chorus. These normal sized Belgians rip, bang and rumble through a landscape of stoner, prog and heavy metal, inhabited by mythical creatures and full of unexpected twists.

Today also sees the band launch a website HERE. The new site features everything you need to know Gnome-wise: dates, music, videos and more from Belgium’s hardest rocking creatures.

The forthcoming UK tour is five headline shows and three festivals – Oxford’s Buried In Smoke Fest, Portsmouth’s Takedown Festival and London’s iconic Desertfest. The 2026 dates follow a sold out UK tour in 2025. Support on all UK headline dates (aside from Nottingham) comes from UK act Wall – https://www.facebook.com/wallukrock

Gnome are known for their powerful sound and whimsical personality, which fully comes through in their hugely successful DIY videoclips, such as the impromptu “Wenceslas” dance, which has had over 3.4 million views on YouTube to date.

Armed with red pointed hats, the trio will bring to life their eclectic sound and style live in 2026 – fourteen shows across five countries, including a performance at France’s legendary Hellfest. The band will be performing fan favourites, as well as hidden gems taken from their three studio albums “Father of Time” (2018), “King” (2022), and “Vestiges of Verumex Visidrome” (2024).

Gnome says, “Hello friends! We’re back for more pointy hatted bastardry and lukewarm beer. With special guests WALL, thx to Buried In Smoke Promotions.Hope to see you there you beautiful bastards!”
