Biggest tours & live events on sale this week
JAMES BLUNT
When: Friday 26th March - Wednesday 28th April 2027 (multiple UK dates)
James Blunt will tour UK arenas in spring 2027 behind his new album Airplane Mode (2026), his first new album since 2023's Who We Used To Be. The tour opens in Leeds and calls at Birmingham, Glasgow, Manchester, London's The O2 arena, Cardiff, Bournemouth, Brighton and Newcastle. Most of the record was written and recorded at Pig Music Studios in Banbury alongside Blunt's long-standing live band.
"Somewhere back there, I lost my way, but found it again in a studio in Banbury," he says. The album's first single, "Tastes Like Summer", arrived in August, followed by "Weight Of It All", which arrived at the start of September, a song exploring the pressures of modern life.
KNEECAP
When: Tuesday 1st - Saturday 12th December 2026 (multiple UK dates)
Kneecap will head out on a UK tour this December, calling at Wolverhampton, Swansea, Glasgow, Liverpool and Nottingham in support of FENIAN (2026), their second album. Produced by Dan Carey (Fontaines D.C., Kae Tempest, Wet Leg), the record pushes the Belfast-Derry trio's sound into acid house, trip-hop and dubstep, with guest spots from Fawzi, Lankum's Radie Peat and Kae Tempest.
The tour follows a landmark year for the trio, including their biggest London headline show to date at Crystal Palace Park, alongside BAFTA and Sundance recognition for their self-titled film. Kneecap keep the momentum going with the December dates, giving FENIAN its first full UK headline run.
ALLAH-LAS
When: Tuesday 25th - Wednesday 26th May 2027 (Project House, Leeds & Islington Assembly Hall, London)
Allah-Las bring their reverb-drenched, tide-pulled sound to the UK in May 2027, calling at Leeds and London behind their sixth album Sirenas (2026). Released via Mexican Summer and the band's own Calico Discos, the record marks a new direction for the Los Angeles quartet as their first fully instrumental album, built from freeform jam sessions rather than a fixed concept.
Inspired by the cosmic sounds of figures including Iasos and Brian Eno, Sirenas finds Allah-Las following their instincts into more exploratory territory, with flute from California musician Clay Finch of Mapache adding to its drifting, psychedelic feel. Singles "Pt. Conception", "Vini Da Gama" and "Caldera II" offer a taste of the album's loose, hypnotic sound. It's a more freeform side of Allah-Las, and one that should translate particularly well to the stage.
LESLIE ODOM, JR.
When: Sunday 25th & Tuesday 27th October 2026 (Edinburgh Playhouse & The Bridgewater Hall, Manchester)
Leslie Odom, Jr. brings his solo show to the UK this October, with dates at Edinburgh Playhouse and The Bridgewater Hall, Manchester. Best known for originating the role of Aaron Burr in Hamilton, the Tony and Grammy-winning actor and singer will draw on the American Songbook, reimagined pop favourites and musical theatre classics, including songs from Hamilton. He returned to the role for a limited Broadway run in 2025, but these UK dates put Odom himself centre stage in a solo performance spanning his career across theatre, film and music.
FEEDER
When: Friday 18th & Saturday 19th December 2026 (Electric Ballroom, London)
Feeder will mark the 30th anniversary of their debut album Polythene with two special shows at Electric Ballroom, London this December, performing the 1997 record in full.
Originally released on small London label Echo, Polythene reached No. 65 on the UK Albums Chart before earning major critical recognition, including Metal Hammer's album of the year. The record laid the foundations for what followed, with Feeder going on to become festival and arena mainstays through albums including Echo Park (2001) and its UK Top Five single "Buck Rogers".
The shows coincide with a remastered 30th Anniversary Edition of Polythene, due in November 2026 and paired with the band's rare 1996 mini-album Swim. Three decades on, Feeder are taking the album back to the stage that suits it best — loud, live and in full.
