New Hope Club is a British pop trio formed in 2015, consisting of Reece Bibby, Blake Richardson and George Smith. Their debut EP, Welcome to the Club, was released on Steady Records/Hollywood Records on May 5, 2017.

George Smith and Blake Richardson formed New Hope Club in October 2015. As a member of the boy band Stereo Kicks, Reece Bibby appeared on the eleventh season of The X Factor in the UK in 2014, finishing fifth. Stereo Kicks broke up in July 2015; in November 2015, Bibby joined New Hope Club. Bibby, Smith and Richardson are all originally from Northern England. New Hope Club's first recording was a cover of "Wake Up" by The Vamps in October 2015. In December 2015, The Vamps signed the band to their label Steady Records, a subsidiary of Virgin EMI Records. They were the second band signed to the label, after The Tide.

New Hope Club's debut 4-song EP Welcome to the Club was released on Hollywood Records via Steady Records on May 5, 2017. The video for "Perfume" was released in January 2017, and the video for "Fixed" was released with their EP. The band spent five weeks on the Billboard Next Big Sound chart, peaking at number 10 on June 10, 2017.

New Hope Club opened for The Vamps on their 2016 UK tour, and for their tour of the UK and Ireland in the spring of 2017. They regularly performed "Oh Cecilia (Breaking My Heart)" with The Vamps during that tour. They also opened for Tini Stoessel on her 2017 Got Me Started Tour in Germany. They will be opening for Sabrina Carpenter on her North American summer 2017 De-Tour, and for The Vamps on their fall 2017 tour in Australia.
