The biggest UK tours & live shows on sale this week
Here are some of the standout shows going on sale this week, from arena spectacles to intimate headline runs.
DONNY OSMOND
When: Wednesday 20th January - Saturday 6th February 2027 (multiple UK dates)
Five decades since Osmond Mania swept across the UK, global pop icon Donny Osmond promises to reignite fan hysteria as he brings the glamour, high-energy and excitement of his award-winning Las Vegas show to the UK.
The Viva UK Tour arrives in early 2027, as Donny kicks off his 12-date run at Glasgow's OVO Hydro on Wednesday 20th January.
The live production features high-energy choreography, a powerhouse live band, and stunning lighting and video design. A highlight of the show is the fan-favourite request segment, where audience members can ask for any song from any of Donny’s 65 albums, making every performance unique and tailored to what the audience wants to hear.
RICK WAKEMAN
When: Wednesday 17th February - Friday 12th March 2027 (multiple UK dates)
Keyboard player extraordinaire Rick Wakeman has announced that he and the English Rock Ensemble will tour the UK in February and March 2027 with The Wizard Of Prog – Ultimate Highlights Concert Tour.
Ever since Rick reformed the English Rock Ensemble in 2022, the band’s live shows have grown bigger and more ambitious with every new run of dates. In 2027, the band will embark on its longest UK tour to date.
Fans can expect to hear extracts from epic concept albums like Journey To The Centre Of The Earth (2014) and The Myths & Legends of King Arthur & The Knights Of The Round Table (2016), alongside other solo work, music recorded with YES and, of course, a few surprises along the way.
Fans are promised a magical night of music spanning more than 50 years of the Wizard Of Prog’s stellar career, brought bang up to date by a group of spellbinding musicians whose on-stage alchemy is irresistible.
CAITLIN MORAN
When: Sunday 13th - Sunday 27th September 2026 (multiple UK dates)
One of the UK’s most distinctive cultural voices and Sunday Times bestselling author, Caitlin Moran, has announced an in-conversation book tour in September 2026 to celebrate the release of her brand-new book, How To Be Hopeful: A Year of Attempting to Feel Less Awful About the World.
The How To Be Hopeful In Conversation Tour will explore Caitlin’s story of how, over the course of a year, she realised that “waiting to feel hopeful again” just won’t work: being hopeful is a decision. It’s something — like laundry — you have to do. How To Be Hopeful is the diary of how one person started to do hopeful.
Caitlin will be joined by special guest hosts throughout the tour, with audiences also getting the chance to ask questions and purchase a signed hardback copy of How To Be Hopeful.
GURRIERS
When: Thursday 15th - Sunday 25th October 2026 (multiple UK dates)
Irish alt quintet Gurriers have confirmed a UK and European headline tour this autumn, in support of their upcoming album, Nobody’s Coming To Save You.
They will be joined by daring post-punk sensations Tramhaus this October as they take over stages across the UK, including stops in Newcastle, Manchester, Birmingham and more.
The Nobody's Coming To Save You Tour marks the release of the group’s second studio album, following their acclaimed 2024 debut, Come And See. The record was produced by IDLES’ Mark Bowen and drummer-producer Loren Humphrey.
With Nobody's Coming To Save You, Gurriers push deeper into the sharp dynamics, restless energy and expansive production that first put them on the map, combining pounding rhythms with lyrics fuelled by frustration, determination and defiance.
Expect a sweaty, scuzzy and cathartic show with neck-snapping drums, wailing guitars and relentless heart.
DAGNY
When: Tuesday 2nd & Wednesday 3rd February 2027 (Electric Ballroom, London & Academy 3, Manchester)
Norwegian pop powerhouse Dagny has announced two UK headline shows for February 2027, with dates lined up in London and Manchester in support of her third album, Dancefloor Erotica, out this June.
Dagny’s music has been streamed over a billion times worldwide. She’s been nominated for seven Norwegian Grammys, co-written songs for Katy Perry, Ashnikko and Julie Bergan, and collaborated with acts including The Wombats, Steve Aoki and Crystal Fighters.
With catchy melodies and high-energy hooks at the heart of her sound, Dagny remains one of Norway’s most exciting pop artists. If early singles “Closet Disco Queen” and “Dancefloor Erotica” are anything to go by, UK fans can expect a glittering, Gaga-esque electropop spectacle.
