Josh Holmes is a pop punk artist from Warwickshire, England, operating independently and building a fanbase entirely on the strength of his music. Rooted in the raw energy of early 2000s pop punk — think Blink-182 and Simple Plan — Josh writes songs that are catchy, honest, and built to last.
His music has crossed 700,000 streams worldwide, earning him features from BBC Introducing, Music Crowns, and FAME Magazine. Singles including "Say Yes", "Everything's Changing", and "Hey You" have cemented a sound that blends big hooks with genuine emotion. His latest single, "Last First Kiss," dropped on 1 May 2026 — a song he started writing in Bali three years earlier and only finished after meeting his girlfriend.
In May 2026, Josh played his first-ever headline show in Jakarta, Indonesia, at COMA, M Bloc Space. All 350 tickets sold out in five days — with no label, no local promoter, and no industry machinery behind it. Over 900 people had registered their interest before tickets even went on sale. After the show, Josh said: "I hadn't even landed, but Jakarta already felt like home."
The Jakarta show demonstrated something the industry rarely sees: an independent British artist building a genuine international fanbase through music alone. Josh has since announced plans to return to Jakarta with a larger-capacity show, and spent time in Bali on a dedicated songwriting trip following the concert.
Whether performing intimate shows or connecting with fans across the globe, Josh brings the same energy to everything — loud, honest, and full volume.
