Which artists still have tickets for 2026 UK tour dates?

Despite the recently skyrocketing demand for tickets, there are plenty of general access tickets remaining for artists touring the UK in 2026. All remaining tickets have been included alongside the artists in the list above.

It's no secret that the ticketing industry has changed greatly in the past few years, as demand for live shows has soared post-pandemic.

This means that nowadays it's often extremely difficult to get your hands on concert tickets for large venues like the O2, Wembley Stadium or the Eventim Apollo, especially if the artist is a household name.

As it becomes increasingly difficult to get tickets for tours and concerts, there is a major way to get around this: purchasing hospitality tickets.

Due to their increased price, hospitality tickets aren't an option for everyone. However, if you have the disposable income, you're more likely to get your hands on hospitality tickets rather than general access as there is lower demand.

Out of the artists listed above, those who have hospitality tickets still available are listed with ticketing sites like Seat Unique and Ticketmaster, where tickets are still available.

Who else is rumoured to tour the UK in 2027?

While nothing has been confirmed just yet, there are plenty of rumours circulating about who will be next to announce their UK tour dates.

Early rumours suggest we'll see the return of Tate McRae, Sabrina Carpenter and Bad Bunny. Plus, Justin Bieber and U2...

Be sure to check back so we can keep you up-to-date with all the last UK tour rumours.
