London Grammar's Hannah Reid: 'I'm not rock 'n' roll' and the secret pain of indie pop
Their rise continued, through the release of Truth is a Beautiful Thing (2017) and California Soil (2021), chart-toppers both, and their return last autumn with The Greatest Love. That fourth album, recorded in their own space within Damon Albarn's Studio 13 complex in Notting Hill, pushed them even higher. London Grammar now enjoy more than three million monthly listeners on Spotify and have reached arena-scale success — on their last tour they sold out the O2. Along the way there were multiple support slots with old friends Coldplay, most recently in summer 2022 when they joined the band on their (still ongoing) Music of the Spheres stadium tour.
