The announcement, made on October 18, came exactly eight years after the release of Fike’s breakout single ‘Babydoll’. The track has experienced a major resurgence over the past year, becoming a viral phenomenon on TikTok before earning Fike his first-ever top 10 hit on the US Billboard Hot 100 in 2026. Its renewed popularity has been followed by further chart success, with ‘White Keys’ released in late 2025, reaching number 32 on the Billboard Hot 100 and cementing Fike’s return to the mainstream spotlight.

The singer-songwriter will play Birmingham’s O2 Academy on March 2, followed by London’s Alexandra Palace on March 3, before finishing the UK leg in Manchester’s Co-op Live on March 6. These UK shows will come at the end of a wider European tour beginning in Dusseldorf on February 9 and travelling through cities including Brussels, Zurich, Milan and Amsterdam.

The tour follows the release of Fike’s upcoming album, ‘How to Quit Smoking‘, which is due to arrive on October 30. It will be his first album since 2023’s ‘Sunburn‘, which reached number 56 on the UK albums chart.

Ahead of the album’s release, fans have already been given a taste of the new record, with  ‘Wallflower’, ‘Small Town’ and the recently released ‘Pangea’ arriving in the weeks leading up to it. Released on October 19, ‘Pangea’ was recorded during Fike’s North America Tour, with its accompanying music video capturing the experience of life on the road.

Touring is central to the making of  ‘How to Quit Smoking‘. Departing from the conventional studio album recording format, Fike has embraced a more spontaneous approach, capturing performances and ideas as they emerge on the road and in hotel rooms. The result is a record that promises to feel immediate, uprooted and personal, shaped by the places and experiences surrounding its creation.

Fike has developed a reputation for refusing to be confined to a single genre, moving effortlessly between alternative rock, indie-pop and hip-hop. His music combines electric and acoustic guitar with rap, lo-fi production and melodic songwriting, creating a sound that is distinctively his own. This blurring of boundaries becomes even more apparent in his live performances, where intimate acoustic moments can give way to energetic, guitar-driven rap sequences, showcasing his versatility.

Fike’s rise to fame has extended beyond music, with his role as  Elliot in HBO’s Euphoria introducing him to an entirely new audience. The success of the series also brought attention to his music, although Fike has spoken about fans’ surprise when discovering that he was a musician first. His musical career predates his acting success, beginning with home-recorded demos and the production of his breakout track ‘Babydoll’. Now, many who first discovered Fike on screen are now finding their way to his concerts, demonstrating how his music has grown into an identity of its own.

The UK shows will be particularly notable for Fike, as they mark only his second UK tour. His previous UK dates took place in September 2023.

Artist presales began at 10 am on Wednesday, October 21, with additional presales running throughout the week. General sale is scheduled to begin at 10 am on Friday, October 23.
