“Burning Rome” follows the “Solomon” single and continues the band’s use of historical ruffians to make parallels with modern life. The third instalment in the Roman trilogy hasn't been released yet, but this new single centres on Nero, a character consumed by ego and self-absorption while Rome burns around him. “The song focuses on a character who baffles, intrigues and surprises me to this day,” said lead vocalist Conor Clements.

Musically, the single draws on archive voices, 2010s-era Pet Shop Boys, and club-pop influences. It is the latest preview of What’s a Heaven For?, a 12-track debut that expands Hallan’s post-punk sound across electronics, new wave, art-pop, and club rhythms.

The UK headline dates begin on 3 April at Manchester’s Rat & Pigeon and continue through Glasgow, Leeds, Bristol, Southampton, London, Bedford, Birmingham, and Hull, ending on 11 April at Hull’s Adelphi. Tickets go on sale on 11 November.
