Following his excellent SURVIVORS GUILT mixtape earlier in the year, KennyHoopla has shared that more new music is on the way soon.

One of the breakout stars of 2021, the musician's eight-track EP with blink-182's Travis Barker brought enormous success to the musician this year – and that looks set to continue into 2022, too.

"New music, merch, experiences coming soon, just making sure everything is right so it really lasts forever and it’s as good as it deserves to be," Kenny tweeted.

"2022 we’re making history – I promise all my supporters, on my soul. Be ready."

As well as new material, Kenny has confirmed he'll be hitting the road a lot next year, with a couple of dates on his June and July UK headline run already sold out.

"I’m touring everywhere I possibly can 2022 – so no worries, if there is a way, I will find it," he said.

Speaking to Kerrang! for his first-ever cover earlier this year, KennyHoopla shared of his hopes for music and where things are headed: “I think if you can be honest, make infectious music and really speak your truth, that’s something that can move the world. With this project, we're making being truthful cool again, and putting it right at the forefront, though I’m not sure this kind of thing ever was truly ‘cool’. But regardless, that's what I'm doing. We're making authenticity. I just want my heart to shine through, and once I’ve done that then, honestly, I want to take over the fucking world.

“Somebody has to stand up for rock, so why shouldn’t it be me?”
