TINIE Tempah is officially back in album mode — and he’s put a date on it. The rapper has announced his fourth studio record, The Night’s Not Dead, due out on 16 October 2026, alongside the release of new single Heaven Or Hell featuring Reggie.

The 37-year-old shared the album’s front cover and reflected on how different the world looks since his last album announcement, reeling off everything from lockdown and Brexit to the rise of memes and the early days of Bitcoin.

Introducing the first taste of the era, Tinie said: “The journey of a night out starts today with Heaven Or Hell ft. Reggie. The track to start your night with. Let’s go!” Reggie replied in the comments, calling Tinie “The King!” and saying he’d inspired him as a kid.

Fans also jumped in, with one posting “Oooh this is gonna go crazy,” while another dubbed him a “Living legend.”

Tinie’s last album, Youth, arrived in 2017 and included Girls Like featuring Zara Larsson and Not Letting Go with Jess Glynne. His breakthrough track Pass Out hit number one in 2010, and he’s since worked with names including Rita Ora, Zara Larsson and Ellie Goulding.

Alongside the music comeback, Tinie’s also been using his platform to spotlight grassroots venues. Last month he performed at Southampton’s The Brook with Rizzle Kicks, saying he’d returned partly out of concern about clubs and smaller spaces closing — and what that could mean for the next generation of British artists.
