Toyah and Cherry Red Records are pleased to announce the release of Revelations, arriving on 21 August 2026. Revelations is a comprehensive collection of B-Sides and rarities from Toyah’s recording history for the Safari Records label. It is designed to perfectly complement the album catalogue reissue programme.

Revelations is released on two exciting formats.

2LP VINYL EDITION: The 2LP Vinyl brings together for the first time ever the band’s complete run of B-Sides and flexi-discs plus three completed outtakes not included on LPs, EPs or singles. This marks the first time these 22 B-Sides and non-album tracks have appeared together on one single release. From the beloved War Boys and Angels & Demons (both from the top 5 hit EP Four From Toyah) and Voodoo Doll (12” B-Side of the top ten hit single Thunder In The Mountains) to the two-track flexi-disc release featuring Sphinx and For You, and Warrior Rock, a flip-side of 1982’s Brave New World.

Revelations is pressed on Grey Smoke vinyl housed in a full colour outer jacket with spot gloss detailing. Two colour inner bags feature rare, unseen and classic Toyah imagery. Following on from last year’s highly praised Chameleon – The Very Best of Toyah, this collection grants lots of Toyah fans wishes to present the band’s B-Sides on one album, whilst the vast majority of the 22 tracks have also not been pressed on vinyl since the 1980s.

5CD BOX SET EDITION: The 5CD box set is an anthology of 102 tracks in total, of which 50 are previously unreleased. Revelations is housed in a clamshell box with spot gloss detailing and features classic, rare and unseen images. Full colour CD wallets and a 40-page booklet make it an essential release for Toyah fans.

After enthusiastic response from audiences and reviewers for her 2026 tour, Toyah is pleased to announce 38 live dates for autumn 2027. Tickets are on sale now.

“I am so excited to be back on the road with my storytelling and songs tour in 2027 — An Evening With Toyah: Rebel With A Cause. We’ll be hitting the road in autumn 2027, and tickets go on sale tomorrow at 10am! See you there! Toyah x”

A singer and actor, a TV host and author, a British Rock & Pop Award winner and film star — Toyah Willcox has worn many hats during a remarkable career spanning more than 50 years.

The High Priestess of Punk burst onto the scene in 1976 as she forged dual careers as a musician and actress, appearing at The National Theatre and London’s Royal Court. Her role in Quadrophenia made her a household name, and soon after she gate-crashed the charts with It’s a Mystery, I Want to Be Free, and Thunder in the Mountains. Her album Anthem earned a gold disc, she was awarded Best British Female Singer at the British Rock & Pop Awards, and a BRIT nomination for British Breakthrough Act.

She married Robert Fripp, guitarist for King Crimson, in 1986, and starred opposite Katharine Hepburn, Laurence Olivier and Roger Daltrey of The Who, among others. Acting, presenting, performing, headlining tours, and releasing 23 studio albums have all continued her unique story — and now it’s time to reflect.

We had a wonderful four-day mini holiday, visiting the amazing city of Liverpool. Saturday was an incredible day at Comic Con, meeting Matt Smith and Karen Gillan (aka the iconic 11th Doctor and Amy Pond from Doctor Who), which was so much fun with so many characters and great people. We also visited Brookside, Liverpool’s two stunning cathedrals, and the rest of the time we just explored a fantastic city, and visited a few of the great pubs. Such a memorable few days and I’ll definitely return to Liverpool.

Last Saturday saw a new Toyah At Home for May, with Toyah paying an emotional tribute to Keith Hale. There will be a bonus Toyah At Home later this month with news of an upcoming release, as well as another announcement at the end of the month!

Last week marked the 45th anniversary of the original release of Toyah’s iconic early 80’s hit I Want To Be Free. Originally released on 1st May 1981, the song was written by Toyah Willcox & Joel Bogen and produced by Nick Tauber.

Last Friday, 45 years to the day, I Want To Be Free was made available as a single on digital and steaming platforms with its two original B-Sides and restored artwork.

Toyah has paid tribute to Keith Hale – the genius who wrote It’s A Mystery and co-wrote Toyah’s debut single, Victims Of The Riddle – who also co-produced and played on Sheep Farming In Barnet. Keith and his band Blood Donor also appeared briefly in the 1980 ATV Toyah documentary, and he was also a full-time member of the Toyah band in 1982, also performing with Toyah and Joel on Pop Goes Christmas in December ”82, as well as other significant TV appearances – who died last week.

“My thoughts are with Keith Hale’s family & friends especially Alice, Keith’s daughter. Keith will be greatly missed.

I owe so much to Keith’s musical legacy from his groundbreaking band Blood Donor, who were staggeringly original right through to the success of “It’s A Mystery”. Keith was in my live band in 1982, and he was a gentleman and a good friend. I am grateful for the time I had with him.” – Toyah Willcox
