UK Concerts and Tours On Sale This Week
Here are five of the biggest UK concert and tour announcements going on sale this week across the country.
LIONEL RICHIE
When: Thursday 20th August 2026 (Royal Sandringham Estate, King's Lynn)
The international superstar and Grammy Award®-winning performer, Lionel Richie, has been announced for a huge UK-exclusive show at The Royal Sandringham Estate in Norfolk this summer.
The icon will perform on Thursday 20th August 2026 as part of Heritage Live Festival's large-scale outdoor concert series at the Estate. Eric Clapton will also perform that same week, on Sunday 23rd August.
With iconic hits such as "All Night Long", "Dancing on the Ceiling", and "Hello", Lionel Richie’s music is part of the fabric of popular culture, with more than 125 million albums sold worldwide. This is set to be one of the summer’s standout outdoor shows.
DANCE GAVIN DANCE
When: Sunday 6th - Saturday 12th September 2026 (multiple UK dates)
Genre-defying post-hardcore heavyweights Dance Gavin Dance have confirmed their long-awaited return to the UK with a headline tour in September 2026. Joining them across all dates will be alt-rock favourites As December Falls.
Marking their first UK headline tour since 2023, the five-date run will kick off in Birmingham before heading to Glasgow, Manchester and Bristol, culminating in a show at London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town on Saturday 12th September 2026 — a fitting finale for one of alternative music’s most distinctive and genre-blurring bands.
With a fiercely dedicated fanbase, expect tickets to sell out fast.
DON BROCO
When: Monday 28th September - Wednesday 14th October 2026 (multiple UK dates)
Don Broco have announced their impressive new Nightmare Tripping tour for this autumn. The band have built a reputation on doing things their own way. Since forming in 2008, the Bedford four-piece have blurred the lines between metal, post-hardcore and electronica, creating a sound that thrives on unpredictability.
Their latest release, Nightmare Tripping, pushes that approach further than ever — a heavier, darker and more dynamic record that reflects both their evolution and the world around them. The tour will see them hit Sheffield, Manchester, Liverpool and beyond, bringing their explosive live show to stages across the UK.
Expect huge energy, genre-blurring chaos and one of the most explosive live shows on the UK circuit when the tour hits this autumn.
HORSEGIRL
When: Friday 21st - Wednesday 26th August 2026 (multiple UK dates)
New York-via-Chicago trio Horsegirl make their UK return this August following the release of their second album Phonetics On and On, out now via Matador Records.
They will be supported by From 2 (fka a fungus).
Produced by Cate Le Bon and recorded at The Loft in Chicago, Phonetics On and On sees the band continue to blur the lines between pop, minimalism and playful experimentation. Written with striking honesty, the record captures moments of youth and friendship at its core — a sound shaped entirely by Nora Cheng, Penelope Lowenstein and Gigi Reece.
Catch them at Islington Assembly Hall, London, Arts Club, Liverpool and Chalk, Brighton this August.
FEAR FACTORY
When: Thursday 1st - Saturday 10th October 2026 (multiple UK dates)
Fear Factory, the industrial metal trailblazers, have officially announced their return to UK stages with the Cybernetic Domination tour, an extensive headline run set for this October. The tour will feature a powerful and diverse supporting lineup, including Japanese metalcore force Crystal Lake, Polish blackened death metal veterans Hate, and dark alternative act The Nocturnal Affair.
The Cybernetic Domination tour promises to be one of the most ambitious and sonically diverse metal tours of the year.
Fear Factory will bring their unmistakable blend of mechanical precision, aggressive riffing, and dystopian themes to thousands of fans across the continent — not to be missed for fans of heavy music.
Expect high demand across several of these dates — especially limited runs and smaller venues.
