The biggest UK tours & live shows on sale this week
From arena debuts to intimate spoken-word dates, here are this week’s standout ticket releases.
BELLE & SEBASTIAN
When: Friday 11th – Saturday 19th December 2026 (multiple UK dates)
Few records have eased into the canon as quietly as Belle and Sebastian's first two. Three decades on, Tigermilk and If You're Feeling Sinister - both released in 1996 - remain fixtures on "greatest of all time" lists, and this December the Glasgow band revisit them in full across a seven-date UK run.
Each night is built around one of the two albums, performed start to finish and followed by a second set drawn from across the catalogue. Tigermilk gets its airing in Nottingham (11th) and Bristol (15th); If You're Feeling Sinister takes over in Norwich (12th), Cardiff (13th), Bexhill (16th), Liverpool (18th) and Sheffield (19th).
The shows arrive with the band in characteristically prolific form. Late Developers (2023) closed out a pair of back-to-back records that earned some of their warmest reviews in years, while frontman Stuart Murdoch's debut novel, Nobody's Empire, extended a songwriting voice that helped define indie's quieter, sharper edge. Hearing these two albums performed whole is a reminder of where much of that started.
ELECTRIC CALLBOY
When: Saturday 23rd – Wednesday 27th January 2027 (multiple UK dates)
Electric Callboy have spent the past few years proving that metalcore and Eurodance were never as far apart as anyone assumed. The German six-piece bring their Tanzneid World Tour to UK arenas in January 2027, with dates in Manchester, Nottingham, Bournemouth and Cardiff.
The run lands in support of TANZNEID, their new album due in August. Having turned a knack for riotous, hook-stuffed singles and viral videos into genuine arena-scale momentum, they've become a rare crossover act - pulling in heavy-music diehards and pop-leaning newcomers in equal measure.
Their reputation rests on the live show: heavy riffs welded to electronic beats, neon-bright choruses and a sense of humour most heavy bands wouldn't dare attempt. These arena dates are the biggest test yet of just how far that formula travels.
ANNA LAPWOOD
When: Wednesday 18th – Wednesday 25th November 2026 (multiple UK dates)
Anna Lapwood is doing something the classical world has rarely attempted: taking the pipe organ into arenas. The Royal Albert Hall's official organist has announced The Arena Tour, her first, bringing a bespoke touring organ to Cardiff, Glasgow and Manchester this November.
Few classical musicians have built a following quite like hers. With several million followers across social platforms, an MBE and a 2025 number one on the Official Classical Artist Albums Chart with Firedove, Lapwood has drawn an entirely new audience to an instrument most people only ever hear in a cathedral. The arena dates push that ambition to its logical conclusion.
The programme moves between traditional organ repertoire and her own large-scale arrangements of film scores - the cinematic, genre-blurring approach that has seen her collaborate with Florence + the Machine, Raye and Bonobo. A limited number of family tickets reflect her ongoing push to make the instrument feel open to everyone.
GARETH MALONE
When: Thursday 15th October – Sunday 29th November 2026 (multiple UK dates)
Following the success of last year's singalong tour, Gareth Malone returns this autumn with a new show built around the songs of the silver screen. Sing-A-Long-A-Gareth: At The Movies runs to 14 dates from October, finishing in London at Cadogan Hall.
Malone has spent more than a decade getting Britain singing - first through the BAFTA-winning BBC series The Choir, then via choirs in schools, workplaces and communities, with three number one records along the way. The appeal has never really been about polish; it's about the simple pull of a room full of strangers singing as one.
This time the songbook comes from the movies, taking in everything from Singin' in the Rain and "Moon River" to a Bond medley, La La Land's "City of Stars" and family favourites from Frozen and Moana. Backed by a live band, singers and local choirs, it's pitched squarely at anyone who fancies joining in - no experience required.
RØRY
When: Tuesday 2nd – Saturday 6th February 2027 (multiple UK dates)
When RØRY's debut RESTORATION reached the UK Top 10 in early 2025, it confirmed one of British rock's more unlikely second acts. The Bloodletting Tour 2027 follows its successor - sophomore album BLOODLETTING - with February dates in Nottingham, Birmingham, Cardiff and London's O2 Academy Brixton.
Where RESTORATION chronicled survival and rebuilding, BLOODLETTING turns toward harder feelings - rage, grief and the strange hollowness of getting everything you thought you wanted. Working with producer Dan Lancaster (Bring Me The Horizon, Muse), she learned to scream for the first time, pushing her sound heavier and more unguarded than anything she'd recorded before.
The album was also shaped by the death of collaborator Miles Kent, lending its questions about mortality real weight. On the road she's joined throughout by Delilah Bon and Mothica, two artists cut from similarly fearless cloth - a bill that suits a record built on saying the things most people keep buried.
NICKO McBRAIN
When: Monday 23rd November – Thursday 3rd December 2026 (multiple UK dates)
After more than four decades behind the kit for Iron Maiden, Nicko McBrain is stepping out from behind the drums to talk. An Evening In Conversation With Nicko McBrain brings the drummer to intimate venues across the UK this winter, tied to his forthcoming autobiography, Hello Boys and Girls!, published in October.
McBrain joined Maiden in 1982 and went on to play on 14 studio albums and countless world tours, helping shape one of the most recognisable sounds in heavy metal across a 42-year tenure. Few drummers in the genre are as instantly identifiable, whether on record or as a personality in their own right.
The evenings promise stories rather than setlists - backstage tales, hard-won life lessons and the candour that runs through the memoir, from his rise out of East London to his battles with ill health and his faith. Part spoken word, part audience Q&A, it's a rare close-up with one of rock's great raconteurs.
