Legendary Slade guitarist Dave Hill has announced the release of his longawaited debut solo album Dirty Foot Lane, arriving in October 2026
Best known as the flamboyant lead guitarist and founding member of Slade, Hill steps
into a more personal and reflective artistic space with a collection that blends rock,
blues, folk and atmospheric soundscapes.
Rooted in memory, family, ambition, triumph, struggle, and a lifelong passion for
music, the album takes listeners on an emotional journey through Dave's life, from his
early days dreaming of becoming a musician to global success with Slade.
Dirty Foot Lane features powerful tracks inspired by live performance, mental health,
lockdown, family, resilience, and reflection -- all tied together by the title track that
Dave describes as:
"My story -- my family, my home, my journey."
Produced alongside Django Holder, with contributions from long- time collaborator
John Berry and producer Rob Childs, this is Dave Hill like you've never heard him
before.
