Biffy Clyro have announced a massive UK and Ireland arena tour to celebrate the band’s upcoming album ‘Futique’. The tour will take place in early 2026, running from January 9 to 21, shortly after the album’s release on September 26, 2025.
The tour opens with a headline show at Belfast’s SSE Arena on January 9, followed by a performance at Dublin’s 3Arena the next night. The band then travels to Nottingham’s Motorpoint Arena on January 12, before hitting London’s O2 Arena on January 14.
Biffy Clyro will continue their run with back-to-back shows in Birmingham (January 16), Manchester (January 17), and Cardiff (January 18). The tour wraps with a January 20 stop in Aberdeen, before concluding with a triumphant finale show at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on January 21.
Formed in 1995, Biffy Clyro consists of frontman Simon Neil and twin brothers James and Ben Johnston. Over nearly three decades, the Scottish alt-rock giants have released nine acclaimed studio albums and earned a reputation as one of the UK’s most powerful live acts. The band have received numerous accolades, including Best British Band at the 2013 NME Awards and multiple BRIT Award nominations.
Their upcoming album Futique is set to explore deeply personal and philosophical themes. Speaking on the concept, Simon Neil said: “It’s an exploration of ideas, objects or relationships that exist across time – we’re never aware when we do something for the last time, and there’s a beauty and sadness within that. What will be your Futique?”
The record is said to reflect on the band’s own journey, the digital age’s impact on memory, and the emotional weight of nostalgia – promising a thoughtful yet sonically ambitious release from one of Britain’s most beloved rock acts.
Joining Biffy Clyro on tour will be Soft Play, the energetic English punk-rock duo formerly known as Slaves. With four studio albums to their name, including the 2024 release ‘Heavy Jelly’, Soft Play have built a reputation for their high-octane live shows and gritty, Clash-inspired sound.
Also on the bill are The Armed, a boundary-pushing American hardcore punk collective known for their anonymity and explosive genre-bending style. Their forthcoming album ‘The Future Is Here and Everything Needs to Be Destroyed’ arrives August 1.
