Doves are commemorating three decades of music this winter with a new “Best Of…” compilation and additional UK tour dates. The band’s collection of euphoric and brooding hits, along with rarities, will be available on record store shelves and performed on stage. A night at London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town is among four newly announced shows, which coincide with the news that So, Here We Are: Best Of Doves will be released on Friday, November 14, 2025, via EMI North.
All three members of Doves have personally selected the tracks for the compilation. This will be the first “Best Of” collection from the band to be released on vinyl. They’ve promised a mix of singles, album tracks, and rarities from their entire 27-year recording history, which began with their debut Cedar EP in 1998. The full tracklist is expected to be announced in the coming months.
The band has also revealed that the compilation will feature a previously unreleased track. So, Here We Are: Best Of Doves will be available on double vinyl in both standard black and collector’s coloured variants, as well as on CD with a deluxe packaging option available exclusively to fans.
In addition to their upcoming show at Halifax’s Piece Hall, the band has confirmed all of their UK tour dates, which now include the four new stops in Dundee, London, Bournemouth, and Cambridge.
