New UK tours and festivals on sale this week
EDDFEST - IRON MAIDEN
When: Saturday 11th July 2026 (Knebworth Park, Stevenage)
Iron Maiden don’t do small.
EddFest lands at Knebworth Park as a full-scale 50th anniversary celebration, a fan-built weekend of themed zones, immersive experiences and a stacked supporting bill featuring The Hu, The Darkness, Airbourne, and The Almighty.
All building towards Maiden’s Run For Your Lives headline performance.
With camping options and early Friday access to the Infinite Dreams Museum experience, this is, without a doubt, one of 2026’s biggest rock events.
COURTNEY BARNETT
When: Thursday 2nd April 2026 (Where Else?, Margate)
Australian indie favourite Courtney Barnett returns to the UK with the Creature of Habit Tour, and this time, she’s heading somewhere new.
Known for her razor-sharp lyrics and effortlessly cool delivery, Barnett will play a rare run of smaller towns she’s never performed in before, including Margate’s independent venue Where Else?. It’s an intimate setting for an artist who’s spent the last decade shaping modern indie rock.
The tour celebrates her fourth studio album, her first release in five years, which makes these dates one of 2026’s most quietly essential indie tickets.
LEVELLERS
When: Tuesday 20th October - Saturday 21st November 2026 (multiple UK dates)
Nearly 40 years in, Levellers remain one of Britain’s most enduring live bands.
To mark 35 years of Levelling The Land (1991), the Brighton folk-rock icons return for an 11-date UK anniversary run, revisiting songs from the platinum-selling album alongside fan favourites.
The band will be supported throughout the tour by The Meffs and, on select dates, by Ned's Automatic Dustbin.
Expect big choruses, loyal crowds and packed-out dates, culminating at London’s Eventim Apollo.
OCEAN COLOUR SCENE
When: Monday 4th May 2026 (Llwyn Isaf [The Library Field], Wrexham)
Thirty years on from Moseley Shoals, Ocean Colour Scene are still delivering era-defining British rock.
Their Focus Wales appearance celebrates the triple-platinum album that defined a generation of 90s indie fans.
The celebrations continue with a support slot alongside Madness in Norwich at Rock n Roll Circus this August, plus a run of Scottish dates on their 30 Years of Moseley Shoals tour in November.
MESSA
When: Tuesday 3rd - Saturday 7th November 2026 (multiple UK dates)
Italian doom outfit MESSA bring their atmospheric, genre-blurring heaviness back to the UK.
Following the release of The Spin, the band embarks on their first headline run across Britain, blending doom, jazz textures and cinematic intensity.
With their cult following and limited dates, this one won’t hang around.
