Hot on the heels of announcing his brand-new country-western solo album Thrasherread our full breakdown of the upcoming Nashville-recorded record here—Brandon Flowers has mapped out a massive headline tour across the UK, Ireland, and North America for autumn 2026. The Killers’ frontman will take his new Nashville-backed material across a series of intimate theatres and prestigious music halls throughout October, offering fans a rare opportunity to catch the arena-packing showman in distinctly close quarters.

The highly anticipated UK run officially kicks off on Wednesday 14 October at the O2 Academy Bournemouth before moving to London the following evening for a monumental, high-profile headline performance at the Royal Albert Hall. The capital show marks a nostalgic return for the singer; it will be Flowers’ first full-scale performance on that legendary stage since fronting The Killers there during their iconic 2009 multi-night run, which produced their celebrated live album and concert film.

From London, the tour vectors across the country’s premier independent and historic venues. Flowers will stop by the newly transformed Bristol Beacon and Nottingham’s legendary Rock City, before moving north for dates at Manchester’s O2 Apollo and the York Barbican. The tour then rounds out its UK leg at Glasgow’s O2 Academy and Birmingham’s O2 Academy, before jumping across the Irish Sea to conclude with a grand finale at the Olympia Theatre in Dublin on Tuesday 27 October.

General admission tickets are set to go on sale to the public on Friday 3 July 2026 at 10 AM BST via Ticketmaster. UK fans who want to get ahead of the inevitable rush can secure early pre-sale access starting Wednesday 1 July at 10 AM BST by pre-ordering the new Thrasher LP directly from the artist’s official store. Given the intimate capacities of these venues compared to Flowers’ usual stadium and arena circuits, tickets are expected to clear out instantly.
