South Arcade have shared a video for their latest track 2005, packed with early ’00s references.

The new video lands in the run up to South Arcade headlining at Manchester Academy 3 in March.  It is crammed with references and easter eggs from vintage adverts through to classic bands – with nods coming in the form of filming style, camera angles and clothing choices.

2005 was self-produced by the band with mixing from multi-platinum and multi-Grammy Award winning producer Rich Costey.

New track 2005 is the title track to South Arcade’s recently released debut six-track EP.  The EP also features stone cold summer, MOTH KIDS and HOW 2 GET AWAY WITH MURDER.

When do South Arcade headline at Manchester Academy 3?

South Arcade headline at Manchester Academy 3 on 13 March 2025.  The Manchester gig is one of two dates they have announced:
13 March   –   Manchester, Manchester Academy 3
14 March   –   London, KOKO

Given the Manchester and London dynamics the dates have been dubbed South Arcade vs North Arcade. The official video for HOW 2 GET AWAY WITH MURDER first saw North Arcade and South Arcade encounter each other. The video introduces North Arcade, the alien imposter band from the future, who want to replace South Arcade in the present day to make their sound more futuristic, instead of their Y2K influence. In a fun spin, the two headline shows are intended to be the rematch.
