Franz Ferdinand fans, get ready, the Scottish rock icons are heading out on a full-blown UK and European tour in early 2026, and it’s going to be huge.
The tour announcement follows the band’s upcoming appearance at Glastonbury 2025, where they’ll hit the stage next week as part of a packed summer of festival dates. But the real news is what comes after, an extensive run of headlining shows that will see the band tour across the UK and beyond.
The group, fronted by Alex Kapranos, are celebrating the release of their seventh studio album, The Human Fear, which dropped in January to critical acclaim. Fans have praised the record as a return to form with a bold new edge.
Now, they’re bringing it to the stage, and the UK leg of the tour is stacked with stops:
FEBRUARY
24 – LiveHouse, Dundee
25 – O2 Academy, Leeds
27 – Academy, Manchester
28 – NX, Newcastle
MARCH
2 – Rock City, Nottingham
3 – UEA, Norwich
4 – Dome, Brighton
6 – O2 Institute, Birmingham
7 – Beacon, Bristol
8 – Great Hall, Cardiff
10 – Guildhall, Portsmouth
11 – Brixton Academy, London
Tickets are expected to sell out fast, especially with the band’s growing buzz around their latest material and nostalgic bangers like Take Me Out still sending crowds into a frenzy.
