Standout tours and live events on sale this week
PET SHOP BOYS
When: Friday 9th & Saturday 10th July 2027 (The O2 arena, London)
Pet Shop Boys join The O2 arena’s 20th birthday celebrations with two nights of Dreamworld MAX: The Greatest Hits Live in July 2027, an expanded version of the greatest hits show that has taken them to 31 countries, with extra songs and new staging. Saint Etienne and Boy Harsher are special guests on both nights, which will be the duo’s only UK arena shows of 2027.
Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe have sold more than 50 million records across 60 singles, and 2024’s Nonetheless reached No. 2, their highest-charting studio album since 1993. In 2026 they published Volume, a book of their visual work that went to No. 2 on the Sunday Times Bestseller List, and released “A man from the future”, a composition with Alan Turing biographer Andrew Hodges. Their “Obscure” shows in London and Berlin were built entirely from album tracks and B-sides; Dreamworld MAX goes the other way, with nothing but hits.
POWERWOLF
When: Tuesday 2nd & Wednesday 3rd November 2027 (Co-op Live, Manchester and OVO Arena Wembley, London)
When Powerwolf headlined Wacken Open Air in August 2026, Metal Hammer’s reviewer called it “unlike any spectacle” in 25 years of watching metal shows. The German band bring the Moral & Madness World Tour to Co-op Live and OVO Arena Wembley in November 2027, as part of a 23-date European run. Finnish cello metal band Apocalyptica are special guests, and Majestica, the Swedish band featuring former Sabaton guitarist Tommy Johansson, open each night.
Church organ and choirs drive anthems such as “Army Of The Night” and “We Drink Your Blood”, and live album WILDLIVE - Live at Olympiahalle gave them their fifth No. 1 on the German albums chart in 2026. A new studio album is due before the tour. The show filmed for WILDLIVE already featured a fire-breathing church organ, so when organist Falk Maria Schlegel promises “a brand-new, huge production”, he’s setting himself a high bar.
BRANDY CLARK AND AMY GRANT
When: Tuesday 2nd - Tuesday 9th March 2027 (multiple UK dates)
“She’s written songs that made me want to write songs,” says Brandy Clark of Amy Grant. In March 2027 the pair share a co-headline tour, with dates at London’s Union Chapel, Komedia Bath, Birmingham Town Hall, Manchester’s RNCM Concert Hall and the Pavilion Theatre in Glasgow.
Grant’s career began in gospel and crossed into pop, with more than 30 million albums sold and six Grammys. In 2022, she was one of five Kennedy Center Honorees, and May 2026’s The Me That Remains was her first album of new songs in over a decade. Clark won a Grammy for “Dear Insecurity”, has written for Kacey Musgraves (“Follow Your Arrow”) and Miranda Lambert (“Mama’s Broken Heart”), and composed the music for the Broadway musical Shucked. Sharing a bill with the songwriter who made her want to write in the first place brings Clark’s story full circle.
NEWTON FAULKNER
When: Thursday 14th October - Friday 5th November 2027 (multiple UK dates)
It’s 20 years since Hand Built by Robots went to No. 1, and Newton Faulkner is celebrating the album with a 12-date UK tour in October and November 2027, from Chalk in Brighton to a final night at Union Chapel in London.
Released in 2007, the record introduced his percussive approach to acoustic guitar, where one player can sound like a band, on songs such as “Dream Catch Me”, “Gone in the Morning” and “I Need Something”. It also included his version of Massive Attack’s “Teardrop”, a trip-hop track rebuilt for one guitar, which is about as clear a demonstration of what he can do as you’ll get.
SETH LAKEMAN
When: Thursday 11th March - Saturday 24th April 2027 (multiple UK dates)
Seth Lakeman recorded Kitty Jay for £300 in his brother Sean’s kitchen, and it still earned a Mercury Prize nomination in 2005. In March and April 2027 he plays 20 dates across England with long-time collaborator Benji Kirkpatrick, formerly of Bellowhead, starting at The Assembly Rooms in Glastonbury.
Kitty Jay’s follow-up, Freedom Fields (2006), went gold and won Folk Singer of the Year and Best Album at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. Since then he has played with Robert Plant’s Sensational Space Shifters, recorded on Van Morrison’s Moving On Skiffle and joined Public Service Broadcasting at the BBC Proms. The Granite Way, released on his own label in 2025, goes back to the West Country stories behind his earliest songs; the tour ends at St Andrew’s Church in Plymouth, not far from the Dartmoor landscape they come from.
