Las Vegas Dark rockers The Nocturnal Affair make a return to the U.K. alongside Wednesday 13. After an eventful Summer 2025 with a new single, and European tour dates, the band is headed back to the UK next week. With their latest single, an upbeat “metal-ification” of Haddaway’s 1993 dance-pop hit “What Is Love,” riding high on the US Billboard radio charts as one of the top 5 most added songs on rock radio PLUS a month-long excursion across the UK & Europe opening for Wednesday13, Drowning Pool and Max Cavalera’s Nailbomb on respective shows.
“Honored to be joining Wednesday 13 and The SoapGirls on the Mid Death Crisis UK Tour in November! Our summer tour with these guys was one we will never forget, can’t WAIT to reunite, do it all again but even better.” – Vocalist Brendan Shane
The band’s growing list of stage-mates is testament to the versatility and determination of frontman and writer Brendan Shane, the creative force behind The Nocturnal Affair. Brendan and the Nocturnal team have struck a chord with Wednesday13 and their adoring fans and thus are fortunate to be invited back as the legendary Murderdolls frontman and his raucous live show takes to even bigger stages across the UK.
Meanwhile back in their hometown of Las Vegas, the band have announced a rare headline show to see out a benchmark 2025 on December 12th at Backstage Bar & Billiards on Fremont St, topping a killer line up of SIX emerging Vegas rock bands.

Vocalist Brendan Shane shares, “Haddaway wrote a song that is clearly timeless. No matter what generation listens to it, they make it their own. We brought people out to party with our reimagining of “What is Love” and by the time it was our turn to hit the stage, the crowd already claimed the song. It’s out of our hands now. We’ve revived a monster.”
About The Nocturnal Affair
Las Vegas dark rockers The Nocturnal Affair are the brainchild of singer/songwriter Brendan Shane. The band’s crushing and melancholic musical style is an ode to darker alternative music torchbearers like Type O Negative, HIM, David Bowie, Gary Numan, and Nine Inch Nails. They capture a uniquely haunting sound steeped in downtrodden melodies enveloped in the darkness.
Since releasing their debut single, “Down”, on Earache Records in November of 2021 and completing their debut album (META)MORPHOSIS, which was produced by Grammy-nominated Disturbed bassist, John Moyer, Nocturnal have become a dominant force in the Vegas alternative music scene.
The band’s latest single “Cross Me Out”, co-written by active-rock songwriting heavyweight Jonny Andrews (Halestorm, Three Days Grace) and co-produced/mixed by Logan Mader (of Machine Head and Once Human) has achieved almost 3million views on YouTube and is currently taking US rock radio by storm.
The Nocturnal Affair have embarked on several full US tours with Fozzy and performed alongside a wide array of artists from heavy metal heavyweights like Hellyeah, Asking Alexandria, and Pop Evil while also being accessible enough to share the stage with notable mainstream acts like 3 Doors Down, Black Stone Cherry, Alien Ant Farm and now Wednesday13 and Drowning Pool’s summer European tours.
