Biggest Tickets On Sale This Week: Tours & Live Events

PASSENGER

When: Tuesday 14th - Saturday 25th September 2027 (multiple UK dates)

Passenger will return to UK stages in September 2027 behind his new album Wild Love (2026), the follow-up to 2021's Songs For The Drunk And Broken Hearted, which reached No. 2 in the UK and the Top 10 across Europe. Recorded with longtime producer Chris Vallejo at a converted barn studio in the South Downs, the album marks a new chapter for Mike Rosenberg, who has married and become a father since his last record.

The album features songs including the first single "It Was Gonna Be You" and a cover of Taylor Swift's "Willow". Rosenberg has also spent the past few years branching beyond his usual songwriting, earning his first-ever commission for a stage musical, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry (2026), which picked up an Olivier nomination during its West End run. More than a decade after "Let Her Go" made him a global star, Wild Love brings Passenger's latest chapter to UK stages in 2027.

TOM MEIGHAN

When: Saturday 19th December 2026 (Mattioli Arena, Leicester)

Tom Meighan will mark the 20th anniversary of Kasabian's Empire with a one-off live performance at Mattioli Arena, Leicester, on Saturday 19th December 2026. As the band's founding frontman, Meighan helped turn Empire into one of the defining British rock albums of the 2000s, before leaving Kasabian in 2020.

There'll be no second date and no wider tour — just one night celebrating the album that started it all. Fans who opt for the Collector Edition ticket will also receive a numbered vinyl pressing, limited to 2,006 copies, commemorating the year Empire was released. Two decades after Empire first arrived, it's a rare chance to hear the album performed by the voice that fronted it the first time round.

RED RUM CLUB

When: Saturday 1st May 2027 (Llwyn Isaf, Wrexham)

Red Rum Club will headline a one-off outdoor show at Llwyn Isaf (Library Field), Wrexham, on Saturday 1st May 2027, as part of a continuing partnership between FOCUS Wales and Nightingale House Hospice. The Liverpool six-piece will kick off a bank holiday weekend of live music, with funds raised supporting the hospice's free specialist care for patients and families across North Wales and the Marches.

The show follows Red Rum Club's October UK tour behind Buck (2025), their fifth album since 2019's Matador and the follow-up to their Top 10 record Western Approaches (2024). With their brass-driven “Mariachi Merseybeat” sound and reputation for turning headline shows into full-room singalongs, the Wrexham date offers a chance to catch the Liverpool six-piece in a special setting while supporting an important local cause.

K-TRAP

When: Thursday 22nd - Tuesday 27th October 2026 (multiple UK dates)

K-Trap brings new album TRAPO 2 to the UK this October, including a date at London's O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire, with W1ZZY joining him as support. The album revives the alter-ego behind his breakout 2021 mixtape TRAPO, taking the South London MC back to the unfiltered, full-throttle sound that helped establish him.

Since then, K-Trap has scored a Platinum-certified single with "Warm", landed two UK Top 10 projects, picked up multiple MOBO wins and a BRIT nomination, and performed "Warm" at The O2 arena as Anthony Joshua's ring-walk music. TRAPO 2 pushes further into the genre-blending sound he's developed since, with guests including G Herbo, Oxlade, Masicka and Young Adz. Across these UK dates, K-Trap brings the TRAPO 2 era to the stage this autumn.

JAMES AND THE COLD GUN

When: Sunday 22nd - Saturday 28th November 2026 (multiple UK dates)

James and the Cold Gun will headline a UK tour this November, taking their second album Face in the Mirror (2025), to Nottingham, London, Glasgow, and a hometown show in Cardiff. The album sees the band push their garage-rock roots towards more melodic, Britpop-influenced territory, with Brendan O'Brien — whose credits include Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and AC/DC — on mixing duties.

The Cardiff band's story has already taken them a long way from the garage where they began: Pearl Jam guitarist Stone Gossard discovered them via KEXP Seattle and signed them to Loosegroove Records, leading to tours with Duff McKagan, Highly Suspect and Thunderpussy and festival appearances alongside Pearl Jam and Guns N' Roses. From a Cardiff garage to a Pearl Jam co-sign and back to their hometown, James and the Cold Gun's autumn tour brings that story full circle.
