Sleaford Mods have announced their return after a year away, with a 2026 UK & Ireland tour as well as teasing that new music is coming soon.
The post-punk duo will kick off their return early next year at the legendary venue Barrowland Ballroom in Glasgow on February 6. They will then spend the next month heading to the likes of Manchester, Cardiff and Belfast before concluding at the 02 Academy Brixton in London on March 7.

Frontman, Jason Williamson, revealed why now is the time for the duo from Nottingham to return, stating: “We took a year off ‘cause I needed to get my nails did, and now we’re itching to get back out there and play live. We released a new single, ‘Megatron’, last week, it’s an absolute banger so we’re buzzing to play that live for the first time.”
When asked if there is any further new material on the horizon, Williamson hinted at the possibility, saying: “Who knows, we might have a few more new tracks to drop by then. Either way, it’s been a while since we toured, and we’re gagging for it.”
The duo – consisting of Williamson and Andrew Fearn – have teamed up with humanitarian aid charity War Child – donating £1 from every ticket sold to the charity which supports children in war-torn countries.
This gesture continues the partnership between the band and War Child, after previously confirming that they would be donating the proceeds from ‘Megatron’ to the charity. This comes after the duo teamed up with Hot Chip last year on two singles in benefit of War Child – where they raised over £47,000.
Clare Sanders-Wright, War Child’s Live Music Lead, shared the charities gratitude in a new statement, saying: “We’re incredibly grateful to Sleaford Mods for their continued generosity and support. Every ticket sold will directly support our work protecting, educating, and standing up for children affected by war, and we can’t thank them and their team enough for standing with us.”
