Standout tours & live events on sale this week

ERASURE

When: Sunday 25th April - Wednesday 12th May 2027 (multiple UK dates)

Erasure head out on the Radio!! Radio!! Tour in spring 2027, taking their 20th studio album to arenas across the UK, with Liverpool electropop outfit Ladytron joining as special guests. Radio!! Radio!! arrives on Friday 12th March 2027, previewed by "Wings of Love", the duo’s first new music in six years. It adds another chapter to a run that stretches back to their 1986 debut Wonderland, through classics such as "Sometimes", "A Little Respect", "Blue Savannah" and "Always".

This tour also brings a change on stage. Vince Clarke will serve as musical director but won’t perform, having decided that long-haul travel is no longer for him, though Andy Bell has been clear that "everything we do as Erasure we decide together." It means Bell fronts these shows on his own, with Clarke steering things from, in his words, "sunny San Diego."

RACHEL CHINOURIRI

When: Monday 26th October 2026 (O2 Academy2 Birmingham)

Rachel Chinouriri celebrates the release of her second album, I think I spoke too soon, with a Truck Store outstore show at O2 Academy2 Birmingham, pairing a stripped-back live set with a Q&A. It’s the follow-up to her 2024 debut What A Devastating Turn Of Events, the record that earned her two BRIT Award nominations and a support slot on Sabrina Carpenter’s European tour. Written and recorded across London, Hereford and Los Angeles, the new album counts Lucy Dacus among its co-writers.

Lead single "One song away from crying" sets the tone: a synth-tinged, reflective song about the moment on a night out when you know it’s time to leave, with the wider album built around starting over and learning to forgive yourself. Before she heads to North American arenas supporting Gracie Abrams in December 2026, this is a chance to hear the new songs up close, with Chinouriri talking through the stories behind them.

MCFLY

When: Sunday 25th July 2027 (Ludlow Castle)

McFly are the first headliner confirmed for Live at Ludlow Castle 2027, the summer concert series staged at the historic Shropshire landmark, which welcomed Snow Patrol, Paul Weller and Scissor Sisters in 2026. Formed in 2003, the band made history straight out of the gate: their 2004 debut Room on the 3rd Floor entered the UK albums chart at No. 1, making them the youngest band ever to top it with a debut album and taking that record from The Beatles. Since then, Tom Fletcher, Danny Jones, Dougie Poynter and Harry Judd have scored 19 UK top 10 singles, seven of them No. 1s, and a second No. 1 album in 2005.

More than two decades, one hiatus and seven albums since they formed, the band have gone back to where it all started with loud, guitar-driven pop-rock, most recently on 2023’s Power to Play. That material sits alongside the hits that soundtracked a generation, from "5 Colours in Her Hair" and "Obviously" to "Star Girl" and "All About You". At Ludlow, they’ll play the lot to 6,000 people inside the walls of an 11th-century castle.

BETH HART

When: Tuesday 21st - Monday 27th September 2027 (multiple UK dates)

Beth Hart heads back to the UK for four concert-hall dates, playing Manchester’s Bridgewater Hall, York Barbican and Glasgow’s SEC Armadillo before finishing at the Royal Albert Hall, where she hasn’t played in almost a decade. It’s a venue with history for Hart: her 2018 show there became the live album Live at the Royal Albert Hall, a two-hour, 20-song set that American Songwriter said shifts "from brazen and strutting to stripped down and touchingly personal."

Her latest studio album, You Still Got Me (2024), reunited her with long-time producer Kevin Shirley and brought in Slash for the snarling opener "Savior with a Razor" and Eric Gales for the funk-heavy "Suga N My Bowl". Moving between blues, rock, soul and smoky barroom ballads, it's a reminder of why players like Jeff Beck and Joe Bonamassa have lined up to work with her. Nine years on from that live recording, she's heading back to see what a new set of songs can do in the same room.

DINOSAUR PILE-UP

When: Wednesday 24th March - Friday 16th April 2027 (multiple UK dates)

Dinosaur Pile-Up take their UK headline tour in spring 2027, with stops in Lincoln and Stoke-on-Trent alongside Nottingham, Cardiff and Brighton. The run follows their fifth album, I’ve Felt Better, which arrived in August 2025 as their first in six years. Since then, they’ve toured the US with A Day To Remember and played both Download and 2000trees in 2026.

Kerrang! gave I've Felt Better four stars, crediting the "experience and depth" the band now bring to their songwriting, a long way from the scrappy grunge-pop of 2010 debut Growing Pains. The band admit it's "been a minute" since they last came through many of these towns, so for crowds at Lincoln's The Drill or Stoke's The Sugarmill, this is a long-overdue return and a first chance to hear the new record in their own backyard.
