Here are five of the biggest concert and tour announcements going on sale this week across the UK.
DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE

Death Cab For Cutie return to the UK with a series of highly anticipated live shows, alongside the announcement of their new album, I Built You A Tower and its reflective lead single “Riptides”.
Formed in 1997, the band have grown from cult college-radio favourites into one of the defining indie acts of the 21st century, with a catalogue spanning Transatlanticism (2003) to Plans (2005) and beyond. Their music has become synonymous with a generation of indie fans, combining emotional lyricism with instantly recognisable melodies.
Marking their first release on an independent label in over two decades, the upcoming album signals a return to the band’s roots, while these new tour dates offer fans the chance to experience both classic material and a new era of Death Cab For Cutie live.
TONY HADLEY
When: Saturday 7th November - Friday 4th December 2026 (multiple UK dates)
Tony Hadley, the unmistakable voice of Spandau Ballet, returns this winter with The Christmas Big Band Tour 2026, bringing a mix of classic swing, festive favourites and his own timeless hits to stages across the UK.
Following last year’s sold-out run, Hadley will be joined by the Fabulous TH Band and a full brass section, delivering performances inspired by artists such as Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett and Elvis Presley, alongside his own classics including “True”, “Gold” and “Through The Barricades”.
Expect a polished, feel-good live show combining big band energy with one of British pop’s most recognisable voices.
SISTER SLEDGE

The show will also feature special guests, including Kenny Thomas and disco/soul trio Odyssey, alongside additional festival appearances at Let's Rock Southampton and Love Supreme Jazz Festival — making this a standout summer for Sister Sledge.

Bringing together two influential names in British alternative music, these shows are set to deliver a strong mix of nostalgia and live favourites.
