Pop-punk royalty is officially returning to British soil. Multi-platinum rock titans Good Charlotte have announced the UK and European leg of their massive Motel Du Cap World Tour, locking in a string of highly anticipated arena dates for this November. Joining the band as very special guests for the run are fellow scene legends Yellowcard, making this one of the most essential alt-rock packages of the year.
The newly announced tour marks Good Charlotte’s first standalone UK live shows since 2019. The band is riding a massive wave of global momentum following a string of completely sold-out arena dates across Australia and New Zealand earlier this year. Before hitting the UK arenas in late autumn, the four-piece will spend their summer co-headlining North American stadiums alongside Avenged Sevenfold and A Day To Remember.
The tour comes in support of their acclaimed eighth studio album, Motel Du Cap, which marked the band’s first new record in seven years. Written by twin brothers Joel and Benji Madden and produced by Zakk Cervini and Jordan Fish, the record serves as a triumphant return to their raw, anthemic roots while pushing into modern sonic territory. The album has already spawned major late-night television hits, including the heavy lead single “Rejects” and the introspective “I Don’t Work Here Anymore.”
UK fans don’t have to wait until November to see the band back in action, as Good Charlotte is set to headline the main stage at Slam Dunk Festival this weekend. Serving as the coveted closing set for the festival’s historic 20th anniversary, the performance is a fitting celebration for a band that fundamentally helped shape the global pop-punk landscape in the early 2000s.
In tandem with the tour announcement, the band has also unveiled an incredibly special, limited-edition creative collaboration. Uniting music, jewelry, and high-end streetwear, the capsule features a handcrafted silver ring and a custom long-sleeve T-shirt designed alongside cult British jewelry house The Great Frog and Painted Flowers—the Los Angeles and Tokyo–based creative collective founded by the Madden brothers.
General public tickets for the arena dates are on sale now. Given the years of anticipation since their last formal UK run, tickets are expected to move incredibly fast.
