Happy Daggers

Happy Daggers are a Leeds-based quintet recognised for their energetic live music and unique sound, often described as “Daggers Soul”. Since emerging in the vibrant UK music scene in 2010, the band have crafted a signature style rooted in groove-led guitar, upbeat rhythms, and a soulful edge. Their catalogue of singles—including “Turn It Up”, “Hold It Down”, and the anthemic “Cellular Daylight”—is testament to their commitment to infectious hooks and positive messages.

The group’s recent output includes the singles “Keep on (Keeping On)” and its Jamie Berry remix, as well as “Release the Pressure (radio edit)”, further showcasing their flair for dynamic songwriting. In addition to their studio work, Happy Daggers maintain an active presence on the concert circuit. As headliners, they are set to perform at Matt and Pireds in the United Kingdom in September 2026. Their headline shows, such as a recent appearance at the newly refurbished Kirkgate Community Centre in Shipley, have garnered acclaim for their vibrant stagecraft and crowd-pleasing sets.

With their soulful sound and enduring dedication to live music, Happy Daggers captivate both new listeners and devoted fans. Follow the band to stay informed on their latest releases and to discover upcoming gigs and tour dates.
