The band’s first world tour begins in the US on June 16 in Dallas, Texas. The Rotherham natives will go on to play major US cities, New York, Boston and Los Angeles. Then, in October they will arrive back in the UK. Gigs on the UK leg include the band’s largest shows yet: London’s Alexandra Palace, Cardiff’s Utilita Arena, and Manchester’s Co-op Live. 

After the landmark UK run, the Reytons will continue on to Australia, Japan and New Zealand before the end of the year. Then in 2027, they will cap-off their first world tour with the European leg. 

The show at the Co-op Live is The Reytons’ biggest gig on the tour. In 2024, The Reytons played to 20,000 on a sold-out night at Clifton Park in Sheffield. The band called it “the biggest night in Reytons history.” Now, they set to top that with the 23,500 capacity Co-op Live show this October. Fans are more than up to the task: one wrote under the tour announcement on X, “we did 20k at Clifton park so let’s do the coop.”

The grassroots sentiment is one that comes directly from the band, who have achieved great popularity on the scene without ever having been backed by a label. Frontman Jonny Yerrell told NME, “we’re proud that we’ve done it independently, and it’s just a reminder that you can do it. Because we’ve had so many doors shut in our face over the years that we’ve had to […] make things happen our own way.” The band maintains a very powerful community mindset, calling their fans “Reytons” (from the Instagram World Tour announcement: “All Reytons, let’s do it!”). This is something Yerrell said is meant to empower people, watching the band rise completely independent from any financial backing. 

Their next release, ‘A Love Letter to a Broken Town’ will drop July 24, 2026. The band’s fourth album will see them hold on to their roots. Yerrell says, “a lot of bands and artists like to change direction later in their careers, but that’s just not us. We absolutely love the style of music we make, the social commentary aspects and the people who turn up to jump around with us. Why would we change? Expect more, just bigger and better with a few surprises on the side!” 

Tickets for The Reytons first World Tour go on sale this Friday 24 April at 10 AM local time. Find access to tickets here.

The Strokes have just released their tour dates for the 2026 ‘Reality Awaits The World Tour’, including the UK dates in October that visit London, Newcastle and Manchester.

American Indie band, The Strokes, are finally making their way back to the UK after three years, with a new release after an even bigger six year gap between their last album, ‘The New Abnormal’  in 2020. The world tour is in support of the upcoming seventh studio album, ‘Reality Awaits The World’ which is due for release on 26 June, 2026.

The circulation of the tour release, yesterday, has fans already buzzing over the news and wondering what to expect from the band. Classics from the decades-long indie releases have the fans questioning if their old favourites will appear alongside the songs of ‘Reality Awaits The World’. These include testaments to the band’s sound, like ‘The Adults Are Talking’, ‘Last Nite’ and ‘Reptilia’. The band originated their sound from influences that they grew up listening to the genre of indie and mod sounds, such as The Velvet Undergound, The Doors and Pearl Jam, making their music and song lyrics a mix of aggressive guitar use but also a low talking-singing style inspired by Lou Reed.

After officially dropping their new single ‘Going Shopping’ on April 6th 2026, fans were eager to know the band’s plans for a tour release, especially after the live song debut at Coachella on April 11th, 2026. The tour will take place from June to October, with performances set to stop in North America, UK, Europe and Japan. The band’s comeback into the tour scene will also see their performances be held in some of the most iconic venues, such as the London O2, Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam and The Accor Arena in Paris.

Along with the treat that is the band’s resurgence into the UK, they are set to bring many memorable artists for opening and collaboration. Some of these include Thundercat, Cage The Elephant and Alex Cameron. Cage The Elephant was last in the UK in February 2025 in the O2 Academy, Brixton, where they marked an exciting return to the UK after six years. This was due to many cancelled dates in 2019 after guitarist, Nick Bockrath, had a serious leg injury. Fans hope that they will appear in UK venues across the tour. The Strokes, with support from these artists, curate an exciting collaboration for the indie scene. Making appearances from Alex Cameron after four years and Thundercat after two years, a hopeful crossover for fans who would see some of indie’s greatest artists collaborating in UK venues.

The June 26th release of the album will truly define the band’s next step in the world of indie rock. The Strokes’ tour tickets will go on general sale on April 17th 2026, at 10am, with presale tickets happening at the same time on April 15th.

The mammoth headline tour run will see the New York based artist hitting 31 cities covering North America, the UK and Europe. As for UK shows, Wolf is performing in Glasgow, Leeds, Birmingham, Manchester, and London.

Wolf has curated an online empire due to her independently released music gaining traction on the social media platform TikTok. Her gut-wrenching track, ‘In My Room’ accumulated millions of views on countless short form videos posted to the platform. This song showcased her musical ability from the get-go, displaying her skills as not only a vocalist but also as an incredible lyricist. Wolf’s individual blend of indie and dark pop influences has fans drawing comparison to artists in the likes of Billie Eilish and Lana Del Ray. Upon further listening it’s clear that Wolf is an artist that deserves every ounce of her fame.

The touring announcement comes at a crucial time in Wolf’s career in which her monthly listeners are rising each day, and her dedicated online following is steadily growing. This tour stands for a celebration of Wolf’s growth alongside solidifying her stage presence. For many big time Wolf fans this is their first chance to see the artist live, something that they have been anticipating since the release of her 2025 album ‘PRESSURE.’

Last year, Wolf made her Billboard Hot 100 debut due to her appearance on Drake’s single “DOG HOUSE” and most recently appeared as a guest on rapper Yeat’s single “My way”

Wolf broke the news on her social media sharing her excitement about connecting with her dedicated fans in person. Not facing the journey alone, Wolf is set to be joined by special guest Bee Blackwell for the North American leg whilst Wolf’s producer Scro will open the UK and European dates.

Alongside the exciting news, Wolf lovingly shared with fans her joy regarding the announcement, “I’m so excited to finally be able to come back to North America, the UK, and Europe to do my own headline tour! I can’t wait to have a room full of people singing my songs and to play some new ones for everyone as well!”

Tickets for this tour are expected to sell out quickly, so make sure not to hesitate in grabbing yours. Ticket pre-sales for the ‘Deep End World Tour’ will begin on April 8 at 10am local time and all remaining tickets are set to hit the market on April 10 10am local time. You can access them via Ticketmaster here, don’t miss out.

Originating from Victoria, British Columbia, Spiritbox was founded by guitarist Mike Stringer and vocalist Courtney Laplante in 2017. The bands style is predominantly rooted in metal-core and progressive metal, but this is the understatement of the century as it is quite difficult to put them in a box. Laplante’s otherworldly vocals can switch between shrieks of terror into melodic RnB influenced sounds. With this genre blending range and an artistic success story, Spiritbox have accumulated a rowdy group of dedicated fans across the globe. The bands full lineup consists of married couple LaPlante and Stringer, alongside drummer Zev Rose and bassist Josh Gilbert.

Both Laplante and Stringer were members of the band Iwrestledabearonce, before concluding they were unhappy with their roles in the group. Upon founding Spiritbox, the pair found a greater joy in their newfound artistic freedom. Stringer is often noted for his technical abilities, utilising a 7-string guitar to morph a distinct, heavy sound into his music.

The group released a self titled debut EP, in 2017 followed closely by their second EP, ‘Singles Collection’ in 2019.Their rapid rise as of a premier modern metal band was driven by the success of the bands 2021 record ‘Eternal Blue’. Spiritbox strategically released consistent singles throughout 2020, keeping fans company during the COVID-19 pandemic, this resulted in them dominating a wide range of internet spaces. Primarily building their loyal fanbase online via promotional videos, Spiritbox did not embark on their first tour as band until 2020. Their success rapidly gained momentum with several singles reaching the Billboard Charts.

Now in 2026, the superstars are bringing the Tsunami Sea Tour to the UK this autumn, with support from Jinjer and Dying Wish. The exciting ordeal takes flight on September 12 in SECC Hall 3, Glasgow and concludes on September 19 in the OVO Arena Wembley, London. The full list of UK dates is as follows:

–              September 12, SEC HALL 3, Glasgow

–              September 14, Motorpoint Arena Nottingham, Nottingham

–              September 16, Co-Op LIVE, Manchester

–              September 17, Utilia Arena, Cardiff

–             Septemebr 19, OVO Arena Wembley, London

The five-arena run announcement has come in the wake of Spiritbox’s performance at the Grammys in which they were nominated for Best Metal Performance. Whilst they did not win this time round, losing to hardcore band Turnstile, the group still went on to deliver a beautiful, critically acclaimed performance of their track ‘soft spine.’

The shows follow the bands latest release titled ‘Tsunami Sea’, which was gifted to fans in March of 2025. An incredibly exciting opportunity for Spiritbox fans over this side of the pond, the groups last headline show was on the evening before the release of their sophomore record in February of 2025 in which they headlined Alexandra Palace.

The DMA’s most recent appearance in the UK came this summer, when they supported Catfish and The Bottlemen at both the Principality and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The Indie-Rock trio, fronted by Tommy O’Dell, bring a modern day melodic answer to the bands of the 90s that seemed relatable yet admirable. The feel good, dreamy sound of their music has garnered the attention of music appreciators globally, most notably in the UK. Part of this is their working class appeal. The defiant vulnerability of their music was bound to resonate with a population gasping for a revamp of the sound of old.

Their fashion also resonates massively with the terrace style culture here in the UK. Tommy’s iconic aquascutum cap, for instance, would fetch a fair few compliments at a football match.

Renowned for their powerful live performances, the freedom of their sound allows gig-goers to fill their lungs full of passion, and belt out the unpolished beauty at the summit of their voices.

The unique 2026 tour will see the band play their debut record in full, as well as some of their other hits. The Album is a beautiful, guitar driven, elevating display of their talent. It’s as peaceful as it is thought provoking. Songs like ‘Delete’ and Lay Down’ dominate the headlines when this album is referred to, and rightly so… they’re absolutely fantastic.

Speaking to NME in 2020, vocalist Tommy O’Dell explained what you can expect from the Sydney based band:

“it’s about letting off steam and having some fun. I don’t think writing political music would really suit us. It’s never been our thing.

“I don’t think of music as a platform for that. I like to think that our music, in a way, can help people escape from those kinda things. We prefer to sing about love, loss and everything in between.”

“The songs are written from the heart and they’re performed from the heart. I don’t say that in a cheesy way; it’s just honest songwriting and people can feel that.”

The UK tour will see the band grace the following venues:

6 Feb 2026 – O2 Victoria Warehouse, Manchester

7 Feb 2026 – NX, Newcastle

8 Feb 2026 – O2 Academy, Birmingham

10 Feb 2026 – O2 Academy, Bristol

12 Feb 2026 – O2 Academy Brixton, London

14 Feb 2026 – O2 Academy, Leeds

16 Feb 2026 – O2 Academy, Glasgow

21 May 2026 – Rock City, Nottingham
