Dubstep dons Chase & Status release new single Flashing Lights in the wake of selling out the second leg of their mighty UK tour.

Chase & Status’ sophomore album No More Idols is still flying high – debuting at #2 back in January, yet to leave the top 40 in the 35 weeks since release, and now quickly approaching double Platinum in the UK, making it the biggest selling album released by a British band this year.

Chase & Status have also sold over a million singles throughout their No More Idols campaign.

They show no sign of stopping either with their biggest UK tour to date which they kicked off yesterday, two phenomenal forthcoming London shows at both Brixton Academy (14th Oct) and the 13,000 capacity Alexandra Palace (25th Nov) and a brand new single with Sub Focus, Flashing Lights out on November 21st.

Their Autumn tour, their fifth live tour in two years, follows their sold-out No More Idols tour this Spring which saw them play a landmark show at the London Roundhouse on March 11th.

They then followed this up with another Roundhouse show as part of the iTunes festival, two crazy shows at Mallorca Rocks and Ibiza Rocks and storming sets at Glastonbury, T in the Park, V, and Wireless festivals. The duo Saul Milton (Chase) and Will Kennard (Status), along with their frontman MC Rage, have built up a huge live following and their show is one not to be missed.

Add to this, Chase & Status run their own record label MTA Records which is currently seeing a wide range of success with their first signing Nero hitting the #1 spot on both the singles and albums chart in August.
