Dizzee Rascal has announced his ninth studio album, We Want Bass, due for release on 4th September, alongside the arrival of new single ‘All Night’.
Released on 23rd June, ‘All Night’ arrives with a new music video and finds Dizzee returning to the high-energy, bass-heavy sound that has increasingly shaped his recent output. The release coincided with England's opening match of the FIFA World Cup, with Dizzee marking the occasion through a live performance at Boxpark Wembley.
Described as a "call to arms for bass heads everywhere", We Want Bass puts dancefloor-focused production at the centre of its identity. Built around heavyweight low-end energy and inspired by the UK's ever-evolving underground scene, the project sees Dizzee pairing bass-driven sounds with the sharp lyricism, humour and hooks that have remained a constant throughout his career.
The announcement follows a prolific run of collaborations that have seen Dizzee work closely with some of the biggest names in drum & bass and bassline. Recent link-ups with Bou, Bad Boy Chiller Crew, Denon Reed and others have highlighted his continued connection to the UK's club culture while introducing his music to new audiences across the bass music spectrum.
Rather than looking backwards, We Want Bass feels firmly focused on the present. The project arrives at a time when bass music continues to thrive across the UK, with Dizzee placing himself right in the middle of that conversation through a collection of tracks built for soundsystems, clubs and festival crowds.
The album announcement also kicks off a busy summer for the East London artist. Festival appearances at Boardmasters, Y Not Festival and Victorious Festival are already confirmed, before Dizzee takes We Want Bass on a headline tour across the UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand later this year.
With a new album on the way and a busy run of festival and headline dates ahead, Dizzee Rascal is set to spend the second half of 2026 bringing We Want Bass to audiences across the UK and beyond. We Want Bass is released on 4th September. ‘All Night’ is out now.
