Senser Announce 2026 Tour Dates And Unveil New Full Body Rebellion Video

UK Hip-Hop and Heavy Metal crossover innovators Senser have released Full Body Rebellion, an explosive new single and video that lands as both a sonic antidote and a powerful rallying cry. The video release also marks the announcement of the band’s 2026 tour dates.

The track is taken from Sonic Dissidence, the band’s first new album in 12 years. Self-funded, self-produced, and unapologetically uncompromised, the record captures Senser at their most defiant and dynamic.

“The idea of full body rebellion is the moment when we have a kind of visceral physical reaction to the sheer quantities of disinformation that we’re absorbing constantly – like a body rejecting a toxin,” Senser told us. “The rhythms are inspired by early drum machine hip-hop beats.”

Senser will hit the road for a run of headline UK dates in 2026, following their performance at Bearded Theory Festival on 24 May. The headline tour kicks off on 12 June at the Brudenell Social Club in Leeds and wraps up on 27 June at the Voodoo Rooms in Edinburgh, with special guests Collapsed Lung.

“Senser has been in a period of intense focus creating the new album and the energy of the band is at full pressure,” explain the band. “The gigs will be an explosion, delivering anthems like Eject and Age Of Panic alongside a whole new wave of songs that hit hard – challenging fear-based control systems, illuminating the dissonance of modern life – delivered with a seismic intensity that shakes you to your core.”

Senser emerged from the UK’s underground scene with an explosion that still echoes to this day. Fusing hip-hop, Metal, electronica, and sharp-edged protest, the band quickly gained notoriety for their high-voltage shows and a sound that refused to be contained.

Their 1994 debut album Stacked Up smashed into the UK charts at number 4, sparking a global wave of press, radio, TV and tours – building a dedicated cult following along the way.

With a string of powerful album releases, including Asylum (1997), SCHEMAtic (2003), How To Do Battle (2009), and To The Capsules (2013), Senser have continually evolved while keeping their revolutionary spirit alive. Collaborations with producers such as Arthur Baker (Afrika Bambaataa), Neil McLellan (The Prodigy), and Scott Harding (New Kingdom, Wu-Tang Clan) have only sharpened their edge.

After the pandemic’s global pause, Senser roared back into action in 2023, selling out London’s iconic 100 Club. The gig marked a triumphant return, offering fans their first taste of the new material destined for the Sonic Dissidence album. The response was overwhelming and proof that Senser’s relevance and power remain as fierce as ever.

With Sonic Dissidence earning widespread acclaim, live dates continue to sell out rapidly, as Senser’s supporters rally behind a band that has always stood for something bigger and louder than just the music.
