Lime Garden Share ‘Moving Target’ and Announce UK, US Tour

Brighton-based indie rock band Lime Garden have released a new single, “Moving Target,” and announced a run of tour dates that will take them across the UK, the United States and Portugal, according to Stereogum.

A new single

“Moving Target” arrives after the band’s second album, Maybe Not Tonight, which came out in April. Stereogum’s writer describes the record as a 2026 favorite, calling it quirky, fun and catchy, the kind of release that grows on the listener with repeated plays.

The song opens with a skittering beat and bright synth notes. Chloe Howard then sings about the difficulties of love over a funky, squelchy bassline and open acoustic chords. Stereogum characterizes the arrangement as an unusual setting for a classic pop song, sophisticated but still party-like rather than pretentious. On the hook, Howard sings, “You can’t fall in love with a moving target,” before admitting, “It feels so right.”

A video for the track, made by the CLUMP Collective, accompanies the release.

Tour dates

The band’s UK run begins on October 2 in Bristol at Electric. Dates follow in Oxford, Cambridge, Sheffield, Birkenhead, Leeds, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Manchester, Nottingham, Norwich and Birmingham. The UK leg ends on October 21 at Electric Brixton in London. Many of these shows are already sold out, including Oxford, Sheffield, Birkenhead, Edinburgh, Manchester, Nottingham, Norwich and Birmingham.

The band then heads to North America, starting October 28 at the Lodge Room in Los Angeles. Further US dates include:

October 30 – San Francisco, Cafe Du Nord (sold out)
November 1 – Portland, Mississippi Studios
November 2 – Seattle, Barboza (sold out)

The tour closes in Portugal, with a show at M.Ou.Co in Porto on November 20 and one at LAV in Lisbon on November 21.

Stereogum notes the dates as a chance to see the band on both sides of the Atlantic, and presents the US shows as the band’s arrival in America. Fans hoping to attend should note that a large share of the listed dates have already sold out.
