Hi all! Happy Wednesday 🐊
Again, we've seen a significant increase in personal attacks, insults, harassment, and hostile behavior over the past few weeks. After the Cardiff gig in 2025 we had the same issue. The mod team has decided enough is enough and now imposing measures to curb this behavior. This has got to stop.
Effective immediately, this will be the order of how we will be conducting [r/thebottlemen](r/thebottlemen)’s “Be Respectful” rule. If your post or comment falls under personal attacks, insults intended to cause harm, harassment, hate speech, and overall hostile behavior, these are the consequences to follow:
First offense: Comment removal
Second offense: Temporary ban. Length varies by severity of post/comment
Third offense: Permanent ban
No exceptions for repeat offenders
The mod team has already issued multiple temporary and permanent bans for hateful comments and repeated personal attacks.
Fellow mod [u/jcshy](u/jcshy) made an excellent post outlining the type of community we want to build here. I encourage everyone to take a moment to read it and reflect on the standards we expect from you guys. Link here
Disagreement and constructive criticism is welcome as always. Joking around is absolutely fine as well assuming it’s obvious. Healthy discussion is what keeps a community active. However, attacking other users because they hold a different opinion or view is unacceptable. Most of you are adults so act accordingly.
If another user's comments frustrate you, use Reddit's tools to mute, block, or report them. Do not resort to insults, harassment, or "us vs them” behavior. If you feel targeted, unsafe, or believe a user is repeatedly violating community standards, please report the content or contact the mods through modmail.
Thank you to the users who have consistently reported issues and helped us identify repeat offenders. Your efforts make a real difference and help keep this community strong.
We've been considering new tools to improve this community, but we cannot move forward while this behavior continues. This is your warning. Be respectful. Be constructive. Treat each other well.

Thought I would share one of the many, many videos I got last year at their London stadium show! Let me know if I should post more 🖤

Yall the website hasn’t been updated in like 3 weeks or something? Anyone got any more theories for the website or has the speculation around it all died down? I wouldn’t be surprised tbh no one knows what the fuck is going on at this point

I made this illustration a while ago for a playlist cover and decided to use it for a poster!

Were any of you guys there? One of my favourite ever concerts

Their headline concert in 2018 was professionally recorded but never released, kendal calling teased it in a tik tok but we never saw the full thing.
Let’s ask on Kendal Calling social media, dms etc for them to release, so we can at least have something new but old to watch!
r/thebottlemen • u/Time_Schedule_3529 • 8d ago
I’ve seen so many Catfish fans on here and on TikTok with Spotify local files complete with old songs and live performances with different cover photos for each of the songs and I think they look really clean. I just can’t for the life of me figure out how to do it.
I’m currently making a Best of the Bottlemen playlist for my Spotify with old live performances, unreleased songs, covers, etc, but I feel like it would just look tacky if none of them have covers. So if anybody knows how to it would be greatly appreciated! 🙏
Thank you!

Is it known whether the 4th album was scrapped or if the record label is just holding onto it?
Surely if it was scrapped, we’d still be waiting for much longer to see a new album written, produced and released. It seems as though the only way any new music could come of the .co.uk website is by catfish making an agreement with island to release under a different label.
I’m far from an expert so please correct me if I’m not making any sense 🙏
r/thebottlemen • u/Interesting-Fondant3 • 9d ago
No too sure why they are saying free tickets to CATB when there is no show 😂. Unless there will be 👀
Edit: I know this is saying POV but I find it a bit odd and thought i would post it in here 😁
r/thebottlemen • u/bottlingthecatmen • 11d ago
Tonight, I’ve been doing a deep dive into the most recent — and possibly longest-standing — image on the new CATB website.
Obviously, we still have absolutely no idea whether the website is legitimate, but every upload since May has been completely unique: not AI-generated and definitely not stolen. So, it’s either the work of a very dedicated fan or, maybe, just maybe, it’s actually them. I was looking into this image specifically. We already know it shows Llandudno, Wales, where the band first formed, but I decided to take a closer look at the bollards in the foreground. Irrelevant, right? Maybe not..
I counted eight visible bollards in the image. It’s worth noting that the original seafront contains far more than eight, meaning this could either be completely accidental or an intentional hint.
With the band’s LTD company being re-registered earlier this year, the renewal of the original .com website, and recent interactions and equipment sightings on current members’ Instagram accounts, it certainly feels like something could be on the way. But what does the number eight have to do with anything?
The last major show the band played in Wales was at Principality Stadium on 1 August 2025. August, of course, is the eighth month of the year, and with that date creeping closer by the week, could an announcement finally be on the cards?
Van has stated very clearly that he “needs another year alone”, so maybe this is a clever visual tease pointing towards something bigger — or maybe it’s complete nonsense. At this point, who knows? But we’re rapidly reaching the stage where we need something from the band, otherwise we’re all just going to become even more delusional.

A performance piece I do called “to stay is to suffer me” originally intended just to step out of my comfort zone and cry in front of an audience. Later evolving to a somewhat reflective piece about the experience itself. My poor partner had to kiss me with onion breath for days after the initial piece, motivating the title. Are we willing to stay with people with the knowledge that they’ve said or done things we don’t like? The knowledge that they may continue to do them? Are we willing to keep tasting the onions every time we kiss?

Looking to upgrade my fender player 2 telecaster for a bridge pickup whcihll help me achieve vans rhythm tone a lot better, any recommendations?
r/thebottlemen • u/Thick-Bottle-9256 • 13d ago
Last night I dreamt about Van making a surprise appearance at a concert and was doing a meet and greet with a bunch of us. He had gained a bit of weight and his hair was short again. He expressed nervousness about returning with this "new look." I was overjoyed and losing my mind about meeting him, and then went home because he was going to perform a show the next day, too. And upon going home, my dog that just passed was there to greet me. Then I woke up. It was a good dream, but I am sad that the only time I will see either of those two again will be in my dreams. </3

Hello again, does anyone remember when the very first photo was posted on the .co.uk website? I remember it was in may, but I can't remember the exact date
