				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Swedish progressive metal godfathers Meshuggah had already revealed their 40th-anniversary <em>Forty Year Anomaly</em> tour of North America for next spring. Now they&#8217;ve added to it by announcing another leg which will visit the UK, Ireland and Europe next autumn. Support for the tour will be two modern metal bands Meshuggah have inspired heavily – US ‘djent’ innovators Periphery and fellow Swedes Vildhjarta.</p>

<p><script src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js" async=""></script>Meshuggah formed in Umeå, Sweden in 1987, and over the past 40 years they have revolutionised the typically rough, raw death metal template. Their application of odd time signatures, frantic syncopated riffs, and the introduction of previously-uncommon 8-string guitars combined to create a new strain of chaotic, but meticulously constructed progressive metal.</p>
<p>While their influence crept into the metal consciousness off the back of genre-redefining albums like 1995’s ‘<em>Destroy, Erase, Improve</em>’ and 1998’s ‘<em>Chaosphere’</em>, the explosion of the ‘djent’ subgenre through the mid-2000s had Meshuggah’s fingerprints all over it. Named by their guitarist Fredrik Thordenal after an onomatopoeia of their signature down-tuned guitar bursts, djent became an umbrella term for acts like US progressive metal collective Periphery, whose founder Misha Mansoor has openly cited Meshuggah as one of his biggest inspirations. Shortly after, Swedish contemporaries Vildhjarta took the sound a different way, coining their own Meshuggah-adjacent subgenre they dubbed ‘thall’.</p>
<p>Celebrating 40 years since the band’s formation, <a href="https://music.mxdwn.com/2026/10/27/news/meshuggah-announce-spring-2027-north-american-tour-dates-with-testament-blood-incantation/" target="_blank">Meshuggah announced the Forty Year Anomaly tour of North America at the end of October,</a> scheduled for Spring 2027. Their partners for the US and Canada leg will be old-school US thrashers Testament, plus modern American death metal revivalists Blood Incantation.</p>
<p>In an announcement this week, Meshuggah revealed they will be taking both Periphery and Vildhjarta along for all 20 dates of the new European stage of the tour next autumn, kicking off in Copenhagen on September 29. After Paris on October 24, it comes to Dublin’s 3 Arena on October 27. The run ends with its two England shows, visiting Aviva Studios in Manchester on October 29 and ending at London’s OVO Arena Wembley on October 30.</p>
<p>Tickets for the European Forty Year Anomaly tour are available now on O2 pre-sale, <a href="https://www.meshuggah.net/tour/?utm_source=ig&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_content=link_in_bio&amp;fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAcGRvZgJzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA85MzY2MTk3NDMzOTI0NTkAAafqxDJz5v7E407M-Mo1Ibrn-S3h8B2srWtDB5MsqBqd_zYbraS5zQ6HH9B-gA_aem_VWYulm4deKSzrq0U4YigdA" target="_blank">ahead of general sale going live at 11am this Friday, November 6.</a> Check the full dates on the poster below:</p>

<p>Twain is the best-selling female country artist of all time, and one of the top singers for overall record sales, having shifted over 100 million units in a career spanning five decades. She is best known in the UK for singles like ‘Man! I Feel Like a Woman’, ‘That Don’t Impress Me Much’ and ‘You’re Still The One’, all tracks on the best-selling country album of all time, 1997’s ‘<em>Come On Over</em>’.</p>
<p>After a hugely popular Sunday Legend slot at the 2024 Glastonbury Festival, Twain was hand-picked by British pop superstar Harry Styles to open all 12 nights of his 2026 <em>Together, Together</em>  tour at London’s Wembley Stadium. The residency ran through June and July, and set a Guinness World Record for the longest residency at Wembley. Also in July, Shania Twain released her seventh LP ‘<em>Little Miss Twain’</em>, a deeply nostalgic return to her country music roots.<br />

The new deluxe edition ‘<em>Little Miss Twain: The Places I’ll Go</em>’ released on October 9, adding six bonus tracks which Twain describes as “<a href="https://www.instagram.com/shaniatwain/p/DeIH-ssEfOn/" target="_blank">six more stories that paint the full picture leading up-to me signing my recording contract in Nashville.</a>” Now with 21 more tracks to play live, she has announced a 2027 summer tour of the UK and Ireland, bringing the sunny country sounds to an assortment of beautiful outdoor venues including palaces and castles.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sheffield hardcore crew Malevolence have just announced a monster of a UK headline run, which they’ve dubbed the<em> United Kingdom of Chaos</em> tour. They’ll be supported on all dates by fellow Northern acts Guilt Trip from Manchester and Bodyweb from Leeds.</p>
<p>The South Yorkshire five-piece are the hottest band in the latest wave of Northern metalcore and hardcore groups, and they continue to rise up the ranks as one of the most exciting British exports. <a href="https://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/malevolence-take-on-emotional-ballads-with-surprise-new-single-silhouette/" target="_blank">They released new single ‘Silhouette’ on their own label MLVLTD Music back in February</a>, which showed a sensitive depth to their otherwise brash, groovy metallic onslaught, before a summer of festivals and shows around the world. They played this year’s Slam Dunk Festival in Leeds and Hatfield, as well as European tours with Kublai Khan and Thrown, before supporting Killswitch Engage and Machine Head around Canada.<br />

Malevolence teased the new tour out with a <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/De6goJAoc3-/" target="_blank">social media post</a> on the weekend – the image simply read “UNITED KINGDOM OF CHAOS ‘27” with a caption saying “EARLY ACCESS AT MLVLTD DOT COM”. The tour was announced this morning, Tuesday October 27, with frequent touring partners Guilt Trip and up-and-coming scene supergroup Bodyweb opening the shows.</p>

The <em>United Kingdom of Chaos</em> run visits 14 towns and cities across the UK and Ireland, with many of the regions in England like the South West and East Anglia often overlooked by big tours. A statement by the band says “This tour is an intentional celebration of the beautiful heavy music scene that we have right here, right now on our little island and the amazing artists that it has cultivated. A proper UK run with a full UK line up in support, and a bonus show for our brothers and sisters in Ireland and Northern Ireland.” It continues “There are so many incredible places to play that are often forgotten in favour of the big hotspots like Manchester &amp; London. We are seizing the opportunity to delve a little deeper and give these cities the attention they deserve.”</p>
<p>The tour kicks off next February at Southampton’s Engine Rooms, and visits hidden gems like Arena in Torquay, Epic Studios in Norwich, and Newcastle’s NX. After dates in Dublin, Belfast and Edinburgh, the tour ends with a hometown show at Sheffield’s O2 Academy. Check below for all of the dates and venues:</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After 2026 single ‘Roses’ dropped in September, Scottish synthpop trio Chvrches have had a big day for new announcements – their fifth album ‘<em>All The King’s Men’</em> is due for next January, ahead of new tour dates in North America, the UK and Ireland.</p>
<p>The group went on hiatus in 2023 after finishing their last touring cycle for their fourth album ‘<em>Screen Violence</em>’. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DLk4YuXtjnl/" target="_blank">Despite the members generating suspense for work on a fifth album,</a> their return in 2026 was subtle – two cover songs for Hulu series <em>Tell Me Lies</em>, and an appearance in the Teenage Cancer Trust’s series of shows at the Royal Albert Hall in March. They were selected for the Royal Albert Hall events by curator Robert Smith of The Cure, who appeared on Chvrches 2021 single ‘How Not to Drown’. During this show, they debuted a new single, ‘Conman’, which has yet to be released.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/3x2BXn0cPM8?si=XS_DnXLwiy6j3tvQ" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe><br />
In February, <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/chvrches-are-90-per-cent-finished-on-fearless-new-album-its-going-to-rip-some-faces-off-3929497" target="_blank">they told NME that the album was “90 per cent finished”, and the material was “sure to surprise people”</a>. Fast-forward to September, and the first single from the then-unnamed LP was revealed to be ‘Roses’. The track is stripped-back, with loud, echoing drums dominating the mix on top of dark, pulsating bass and synth lines, all supporting singer Lauren Mayberry’s voice. The playful nursery-rhyme styled chorus cannot disguise the ominous themes behind the lyrics, which seem to take cynical aim at the UK’s current social climate.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dominic Fike has announced that he will bring his Comedy Tragedy Parody tour to the UK next year, with fans already showing huge demand for the three-date run.</p>
<p>The announcement, made on October 18, came exactly eight years after the release of Fike&#8217;s breakout single &#8216;Babydoll&#8217;. 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 &#8216;White Keys&#8217; released in late 2025, reaching number 32 on the Billboard Hot 100 and cementing Fike&#8217;s return to the mainstream spotlight.</p>
<p><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KqMOKCRgvD8?si=kJWocCmxcbt8BKVM" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>The singer-songwriter will play Birmingham&#8217;s O2 Academy on March 2, followed by London&#8217;s Alexandra Palace on March 3, before finishing the UK leg in Manchester&#8217;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.</p>
<p>The tour follows the release of Fike&#8217;s upcoming album, &#8216;<em>How to Quit Smoking</em>&#8216;, which is due to arrive on October 30. It will be his first album since 2023&#8217;s &#8216;<span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><em>Sunburn</em>&#8216;,</span> which reached number 56 on the UK albums chart.</p>
<p>Ahead of the album&#8217;s release, fans have already been given a taste of the new record, with  &#8216;Wallflower&#8217;, &#8216;Small Town&#8217; and the recently released &#8216;Pangea&#8217; arriving in the weeks leading up to it. Released on October 19, &#8216;Pangea&#8217; was recorded during Fike&#8217;s North America Tour, with its accompanying music video capturing the experience of life on the road.</p>
<p>Touring is central to the making of  &#8216;<em>How to Quit </em><span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><em>Smoking</em>&#8216;. 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</span></span> promises to feel immediate, uprooted and personal, shaped by the places and experiences surrounding its creation.</p>
<p><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/saZ5e1UwldM?si=PEnosK6QXoChqD3T" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Fike&#8217;s rise to fame has extended beyond music, with his role as  Elliot in HBO&#8217;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&#8217; 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 &#8216;Babydoll&#8217;. 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/dominic-fike-comedy-tragedy-parody-europe-tour-2027-uk-dates-venues-tickets/">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. </a></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After narrowly missing out on a UK number one album last week with debut LP <em>‘Put A Smile On For Me’</em>, London alternative rock quartet Keo are set to celebrate their ascension with a 2027 tour around the UK, Ireland, Europe and North America.</p>
<p>The group’s emotional indie rock carries hallmarks of their influences, including Radiohead and Smashing Pumpkins, with grunge-esque guitar fuzz throughout. Ahead of the September 25 release of <em>‘Put A Smile On For Me’</em>, Keo put out a batch of exciting singles and played shows with the likes of Wolf Alice and The Last Dinner Party, before a summer of festival appearances including Reading &amp; Leeds, Boardmasters and TRNSMT. The album shot up to number two in the Official UK Album Chart in its first week, falling just behind Taylor Swift’s ‘<em>The Life of a Showgirl</em>’.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><iframe style="border-radius: 12px;" src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/album/6lsuxUBgd9TFAfzS9lBkCH?utm_source=generator&amp;si=0bb40a8b6f364900" width="100%" height="352" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" data-testid="embed-iframe"></iframe><br />
Keo have just wrapped up a record store tour before the album’s launch, and are all set for their post-release shows at the end of October in Southampton, Cardiff, Glasgow, Liverpool and London – but that hasn’t stopped them from announcing another new mega-tour for 2027.</p>
<p>The new <em>Put A Smile On For Me 2027 Tour</em> kicks off in February with a night at the O2 Academy in Leeds. The UK run then visits Nottingham Rock City, Portsmouth Guildhall, Bristol’s O2 Academy, Birmingham’s O2 Academy and Norwich UEA. It carries over into March with shows at Glasgow’s Barrowland Ballroom, The Octagon Centre in Sheffield, Newcastle NX, a sold-out night at London’s O2 Academy Brixton and then on to Belfast Limelight.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>2000’s symphonic alt-rock prodigies Elliot Minor are following their 2025 live comeback with a new run of UK shows to mark 20 years since their debut single. They’ll be joined on the March tour by Madina Lake and The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, who are both celebrating the same milestone for their debut albums.</p>
<p>Elliot Minor formed in 2006, and through 2007 hit the UK Top 40 with all three of their early singles: debut track ‘Parallel Worlds’ peaked at 22 and is still their biggest hit, while ‘Jessica’ scored 19th and ‘The White One Is Evil’ landed at 27. In 2008, ‘Still Figuring Out’ made their highest chart placement at 17th ahead of their debut record <em>‘Elliot Minor’</em>, which made it to sixth place on the Albums Chart. Their mix of harmony-dense rock seeped in broody, dark tones with classical instrumentation and choral vocals made them a unique standout in a scene where such musical virtuosity was less common.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>The band went on hiatus in 2010, interrupted by a fleeting temporary return in 2014, before fully reuniting in 2024. In 2025, they released ‘How Does it Feel’, their first new single in 15 years, and followed it up with a sold-out UK tour and a packed-out set at Download Festival.</p>
<p>They announced the new tour today, along with two stellar supports from the mid-2000s US emo scene – Madina Lake who celebrate the 2007 release of breakthrough first album ‘<em>From Them, Through Us, to You’; </em>and the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, whose debut ‘<em>Don’t You Fake It</em>’ and biggest single ‘Face Down’ both turned 20 earlier this year. The tour is set to visit Birmingham, Glasgow, Leeds, Bournemouth, Manchester and Bristol before ending in a big show at London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town. Check out the venues and dates on the post below:</p>

<p>As covered by Rock Sound, Elliot Minor vocalist and guitarist Alex Davies says in a statement “<a href="https://rocksound.tv/news/elliot-minor-announce-20th-anniversary-tour?utm_source=x&amp;utm_medium=owned_social&amp;utm_campaign=elliot-minor-announce-20th-anniversary-tour" target="_blank">coming back together for the reunion tour in 2025 was such an amazing and nostalgic experience for all of us. We genuinely didn’t know what to expect after so many years away, and it was unbelievably surreal to walk out each night and see so many people there, singing every word back at us. There were moments where we’d just look at each other on stage and think, ‘How is this happening again? The response to the shows reminded us just how much our band and songs still mean to people.&#8221;</a></p>
<p>&#8220;<a href="https://rocksound.tv/news/elliot-minor-announce-20th-anniversary-tour?utm_source=x&amp;utm_medium=owned_social&amp;utm_campaign=elliot-minor-announce-20th-anniversary-tour" target="_blank">Some of these songs were actually written back in our school/college days pre-2007, which is pretty crazy to think about – especially seeing people that age now discovering the band for the first time. It really re-ignited something in us. We’ve also been spending time together writing and recording new music, and we’re incredibly excited to get that out there as part of our 20th Anniversary alongside all the 2000s nostalgia. Having the opportunity to get back out there and play alongside bands that we’ve loved for years, including Madina Lake and The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, makes this upcoming tour feel even more special.

<p>The <i>Christmastime Tour </i>will bring its holiday cheer to the UK beginning on Friday November 27 at Birmingham’s Utilita Arena. She will head to London’s O2 Arena on Monday 30 November before finishing off the run with a show at Manchester’s Co-op Live on Wednesday December 2. After that she will play a special one-off show in Malta at MFCC on December 8.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>The set is said to include Carey’s long list of festive hits as well as fan favourites and global hits. Carey’s smash hit, ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ is already confirmed for the night. Released in 1994 on her first holiday album, &#8216;<i>Merry Christmas,&#8217; </i>‘All I Want for Christmas Is You’ has become the global harbinger for the holiday season. <a href="https://x.com/MariahCarey/status/1455021954763792397?s=20">Almost every year, Carey makes anticipatory posts</a> as early as November 1, teasing the beginning of ‘#MariahSzn’ with the crescendo of her global hit.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p><a href="https://apnews.com/article/christmas-mariah-carey-queen-song-346d94b58c268edb5a7fcb3c912e982c">In 2023, Associated Press estimated</a> the total royalty earnings for the song to be $100 million. The song reached Number 1 on UK Charts for the first time in 2020 and has stayed in the Top 5 every year after. Last December, ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ was also certified 10x Platinum in the UK (equivalent of 6,000,000 units). It is currently the UK&#8217;s highest-selling single by a female artist.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/yXQViqx6GMY?si=PuVX7nxdGLnd17Zo" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p><a href="https://apnews.com/article/christmas-mariah-carey-queen-song-346d94b58c268edb5a7fcb3c912e982c">Associated Press interviewed Berklee College of Music professor in 2023</a> about the hit’s longevity. He said “It’s a wishing song and it works narratively” and that “[it] works as a love and holiday song. Carey sets it up: She doesn’t care about all the holiday trappings, she has one thing — one person — on her mind. It’s kept vague whether it’s a lover or someone she yearns for.” This festive yearning has continued to capture the hearts of the world more than 30 years since its release: ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ reenters global charts every holiday season.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p><a href="https://www.nme.com/big-reads/mariah-carey-cover-interview-2021-fall-in-love-at-christmas-3120794">But despite all this success, Carey told <i>NME </i>in 2021 </a>that she had some hesitation about making her first Christmas album in 1994, saying, “doesn’t that happen later in life?” But she eventually agreed to the album because of her genuine love for the holiday. When asked about the video for the 1994 hit song, she said, “ I remember certain things that weren’t great about that time, but I also see my true happiness shining through.”<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>Carey is planning to bring that true happiness to the UK this holiday season, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DdiygLSibLn/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;stkn=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==">telling fans on Instagram,</a> “I cant wait to celebrate with you!” Tickets to the <i>Christmastime Tour </i>go on pre-sale this Wednesday September 23 and Thursday September 24. General sale opens Friday September 25.

<p>The <i>Together, Together Tour 2027</i> will kick off in North America and hit select cities in Europe along the way, before it caps off in the UK. North American tour stops include Dallas, Los Angeles, Chicago and Toronto. Australian pop legend, Kylie Minogue will support Styles at the Los Angeles dates, set to take place at the iconic Rose Bowl Stadium. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/kylieminogue/posts/together-together-harry-me-cant-wait-to-see-you-in-april-la-/1634004491415004/">Minogue posted her excitement to Facebook, saying she</a> “can’t WAIT.”<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>European stops include Berlin, Madrid, Paris and Rome. Indie icons, LCD Soundsystem, will support Styles in Rome, sure to provide a disco-lit party for fans to dance themselves clean. Additionally, Styles will take rising British rock duo, Getdown Services as support for the Berlin dates. Styles has previously selected newcomers as his openers that later emerged into their own notable successes, including Arlo Parks in 2022 and Wet Leg in 2023.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>The final stops of Styles’ 2027 tour will take place in the UK and Ireland. First, he will play two nights in Dublin’s Croke Park with support from Baby Rose. And then he will close out the tour with three more mammoth nights at London’s Wembley Stadium in late August.  These come after a record-breaking 12-night run of shows at Wembley Stadium this summer. Iconic British rock set, Tears for Fears, will be supporting Styles for his final <i>Together, Together Tour </i>shows.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>What the future holds for Styles after the 2027 tour dates is unknown. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DdFd-CBvdX8/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;stkn=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==">He told fans in an email message sent ahead of the tour announcement that those would be the</a> “final cities of Together, Together.” Saying, “after that, I don’t know what comes next for me” but assured fans he is “excited to find out.” He described the massive residency tour he is currently on as “special” and “far beyond what [he] could have imagined.” But he said at first, extending the tour into 2027 felt “daunting.” He went on to say “being an artist is the only life I’ve ever known really, I have been doing this since I was 16 years old, and I feel like the luckiest person in the world to still be sharing these moments with you.”<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>Styles’ team is providing fans with many creative ways to share these final moments. There will be a limited number of “Unlimited Fun Tickets” which will be priced at £20/$20/€20 each. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DdG41yxEeXR/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;stkn=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==">Also, a detailed list of ticket prices for every new tour date has been posted to social media.</a> Styles’ team, HSHQ writes this is part of the team “taking measures to be more transparent on pricing for fans.”<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>Tickets go on sale next week. On September 14, Paris, Madrid, Rome and Dublin tickets go on sale. On September 16, North American and Berlin dates go on sale.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Leicester rock set Kasabian, has just announced a run of exciting shows to take place this winter. The <i>Nothing Better Than This </i>Arena tour will be what Kasabian is best known for: high-energy and raucous nights of live music, but this time taking place at five arenas across the UK. Beginning on 10 December at Birmingham’s Utilita Arena, Kasabian will then head to Glasgow’s OVO Hydro, Cardiff’s Utilita Arena, Manchester’s Co-op Live and the iconic London O2 Arena. Support for the run comes from The Vaccines.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>

<p>The announcement of the <i>Nothing Better Than This </i>Tour comes just after Kasabian played a sold-out headline slot at London’s Finsbury Park. It was the band’s largest ever headline show, with a crowd 45,000 strong. See the band’s commemorative video of the show below.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>

<p>The upcoming winter arena tour is named for a track on the band’s ninth studio album, <i>‘Act III.’</i> <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/kasabian-act-iii-new-album-great-pretender-single-interview-imposter-syndrome-guitar-music-tour-3938078">Serge Pizzorno, lead singer, said of the track,</a> &#8216;Nothing Better Than This&#8217;, “I just wanted to make something with that gnarly bass and you’d instantly know in four seconds, ‘That sounds like Kasabian.’”<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>Releasing in 4 September 2026, <i>‘Act III’<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></i> is meant to be a love-letter to live music. <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/kasabian-act-iii-new-album-great-pretender-single-interview-imposter-syndrome-guitar-music-tour-3938078"><i>NME </i>said the album’s sound<b> </b></a>“all comes down to four friends making a racket and the feel of playing live.” <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/kasabian-act-iii-new-album-great-pretender-single-interview-imposter-syndrome-guitar-music-tour-3938078">Pizzorno called that feeling</a> “sacred.” <i>‘Act III’<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></i> is draped in Pizzorno’s hazy vocals and full of guitar-driven pop. The album is also said to be a culmination of Pizzorno’s six years at the helm of one of the UK’s most essential bands of the 21<sup>st</sup> century. <i>‘Act III’<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span></i>will look forward into Kasabian’s future, while referencing the band’s earliest days, all with a visceral, raw energy. The album is produced by Serge Pizzorno and Mark Ralph at The Sergery and Club Ralph.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
