Sleeper is an English Britpop band that was active from 1993 to 1998. Originally known as Surrender Dorothy, they later changed their name to Sleeper. After a long hiatus, the band reformed in 2017 and continues to captivate audiences with their unique sound.
With their catchy melodies and relatable lyrics, Sleeper quickly became a prominent figure in the Britpop scene of the 90s. Their music resonated with fans across the globe, earning them a dedicated following.
Now back on stage after almost two decades, Sleeper brings their iconic sound to new generations while also delighting long-time fans. Don't miss out on experiencing the magic of this influential band!

Sleeper release their first album in 21 years, The Modern Age. It wasn’t meant to happen. In fact, the band had promised each other it never would. “We had no plan to get back together. Sometimes life throws you a massive curve ball. You end up jumping off the cliff, just to see what it feels like.”: Singer, Louise Wener

The band spent summer 2018 recording The Modern Age with their long-time producer, Stephen Street - a relationship that clicked into place again right away. They tracked live at Metway studios in their adopted city of Brighton, before decamping to Street’s studio in West London to add the finishing touches. The Modern Age is the outward looking sound of a band revitalized and refreshed. Covering subjects from motherhood and social media to personal loss and, inevitably, relationships. The Modern Age retains Sleeper’s classic pop sensibilities with a shiny, new, contemporary feel.
