Who’s on the Peaky Blinders soundtrack?

New music ties into the film's return

The upcoming movie continuation of the Peaky Blinders franchise arrives with a soundtrack that leans on contemporary artists to amplify the film’s wartime tone and emotional stakes. The soundtrack announcement pairs original contributions with new recordings from established acts, positioning music as a central element of the movie’s identity.

Key contributors confirmed so far include:

• Grian Chatten of Fontaines D.C., who has released the haunting track “Puppet” tied to the film.
• Nick Cave, who recorded a new contribution for the soundtrack.
• Amy Taylor of Amyl & the Sniffers, also providing a new recording.

The choice of artists reflects the production’s aim to blend modern indie and post-punk textures with the movie’s period setting, offering a sonic bridge between Tommy Shelby’s violent, intimate world and a contemporary audience. Chatten’s “Puppet” has already been shared ahead of the film, setting a mood that critics and fans have described as atmospheric and suitably ominous.

Why this matters

The soundtrack plays a strategic role in how the film is positioned commercially and culturally: a star-studded music lineup helps extend the movie’s reach beyond traditional film audiences into music press and fan communities, and pre-release singles build early buzz ahead of the theatrical rollout. With the film featuring Cillian Murphy’s Tommy Shelby back in focus and new cast additions drawing attention, a high-profile soundtrack amplifies those headlines and gives the movie multiple promotional touchpoints across streaming, radio, and social platforms.

What’s next

More soundtrack tracks and collaborators may be announced as the film’s release approaches. The early release of Chatten’s single suggests the full compilation will be used actively in the film’s marketing and could chart independently of the movie.
