Royel Otis have announced a new run of UK headline shows for summer 2026, continuing their meteoric rise as one of indie rock’s most exciting new acts. The newly revealed dates include stops in Dublin, Birmingham, Halifax and Bristol, before the duo join Foo Fighters for a massive stadium show at Liverpool’s Anfield Stadium on 27 June. Tickets for the headline shows go on sale at 10am on Friday 28 November.
The announcement follows a huge year for the Sydney-based band. In 2025, Royel Otis sold more than 250,000 tickets globally, performed at some of the world’s biggest festivals, including Glastonbury, Reading & Leeds, Lollapalooza and Fuji Rock, and appeared on major platforms such as The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge and Apple Music with Zane Lowe. Just last week, the duo wrapped three sold out nights at London’s O2 Brixton Academy, followed by two sold out shows at Manchester’s O2 Victoria Warehouse.
With a growing fanbase and a string of packed-out live dates behind them, Royel Otis’ 2026 is already stacked. In addition to this headline run, they’ll perform at Coachella and support Foo Fighters across their European stadium tour, a major milestone for the pair.
Their latest album hickey has propelled them even further, showcasing their signature blend of cheeky lyricism and emotionally charged indie rock. The album includes breakout single moody, which spent over seven weeks at #1 on both the US AAA Mediabase and Billboard charts, a first for a new act in 2025. In the UK, tracks like car and moody saw heavy rotation on BBC 6 Music and BBC Radio 1, cementing the band’s growing reputation on both sides of the Atlantic.
Royel Otis now boast over 1 billion streams globally and 12.6 million monthly listeners on Spotify, including 150 million streams in the UK alone. With momentum like this, their 2026 shows promise to be unforgettable.
