The album was released in October 2025.

In July they announced their new album, Ad Astra , and released lead single “Give Me Back My World”.

In April 2025, Ash released a cover the Harry Belafonte song, ” Jump in the Line “.

On 14 June 2023, “Race the Night” was released as the first single from their upcoming album of the same name. The album was released in September 2023. “Like a God” and “Usual Places” were released as follow up singles.

Islands was released on 18 May 2018, preceded by the single “Buzzkill”, with vocals from Damien O’Neill and Mickey Bradley from the Undertones . The band released a second single, “Annabel”, in April 2018, and a third, “Confessions in the Pool”, in May to coincide with the album release.

After declaring in 2007 that Ash would no longer release albums, the band released the album Kablammo! in May 2015. It was preceded by the single “Cocoon”, and “Free” and “Machinery” were released as follow-up singles. In December 2016 the live album Live on Mars: London Astoria 1997 was released, and supported by a tour.

In November 2012, the band played some US dates with Weezer and went on to headline their own shows on the East Coast. They played at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas in 2013, along with seven other US cities, and supported the Smashing Pumpkins at Wembley Arena. Despite having achieved much success throughout the U.K. and Europe (among other regions) as well as extensively touring the U.S., Ash had not achieved as much success in the U.S.

The original three-piece line-up played two-sold out nights at London’s Roundhouse in September 2008, performing 1977 in its entirety. This was followed by the release of a 3-disc special edition version of 1977 , featuring remastered and re-edited versions of the tracks, as well as tracks from Trailer and live performances from the time of its release. Ash started recording new material, which was previewed at a series of live dates in 2009. These dates coincided with the release of the single “Return of White Rabbit”. This single was a precursor to Ash releasing a 7-inch single every fortnight for a whole year, starting in September 2009. Each single was simply titled by a letter, released in alphabetical order, and formed the A–Z Series . These singles would later be compiled and released together on CD. Russell Lissack , who joined the band as a live guitarist in 2010, left in early 2011. The Best of Ash compilation was released in 2011. The same year Ash collaborated with We Are Scientists to release a cover of the song “Washington Parks” by British songwriter Robert Manning, raising money and awareness for Multiple Sclerosis and The MS Society.

In 2006 Ash started working in a New York recording studio on what would become their first album after reverting to their original line-up, Twilight of the Innocents . A preview track, “I Started A Fire” was released in February 2007, coinciding with a full-length UK tour. The album’s first physical single ” You Can’t Have It All ” was released in April 2007, and the album itself followed the next month, along with an appearance at the Isle of Wight Festival . Two further songs from the album, ” Polaris ” and ” End of the World “, were issued as singles in June and September, respectively. Ash stated that Twilight of the Innocents would be their last album and that instead, they would only release singles as “(t)he way people listen to music has changed, with the advent of the download the emphasis has reverted to single tracks”.

On 20 January 2006, Hatherley left the band; in an interview in July 2007, the others hinted they asked Hatherley to leave as they “wanted to be a three-piece”.
