Reality Awaits, the new album produced by Rick Rubin, is set to be released on 26 June, marking their first studio album since 2020's iconic The New Abnormal.

To say that fans are excited to see them return would be an understatement. The NYC-based five-piece released their latest single, Going Shopping, last week to much fanfare.

From London to Manchester, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne and Dublin, here's how you can see them live in 2026.
