ASH bring their busy year of new releases to a close by sharing their version of the Christmas classic Santa Claus Is Coming To Town. Of course, lead singer and guitarist Tim Wheeler is no stranger to penning a Christmas song or two, having released the This Is Christmas album with Emmy The Great in 2011, but Santa Claus Is Coming To Town is the first time Ash have released a Christmas single.

It arrives just as the band are gearing up to embark on a sold out tour of Ireland before returning to the UK for more headline shows in support of this year’s new album Ad Astra in February 2026.

Drummer Rick McMurray comments: “Here we are then; the final month of 2025 and what a year it’s been. A flurry of touring, a brand new album, a summer of festival appearances – all gone in a flash. It feels like only yesterday we were touring with The Darkness and preparing to drop our first single from the album in the form of a cover of the classic Jump The Line. But wait; we’re not done yet. Because we’re wrapping this year up the way we started with another surprise cover, this time it’s Santa Claus Is Coming To Town. So get your reind-ears around this future Christmas classic and let’s get festive!”
