Kentucky’s finest hard rockers, Black Stone Cherry, are set to return to UK and Irish shores in Autumn 2026 for a massive run of headline shows. The extensive tour will see the band visiting cities across England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, and the Republic of Ireland, culminating in a double-header at the O2 Forum Kentish Town in London.
Promising a special night for fans, the “An Evening With…” format will see the band perform two separate sets at each stop. The first set will mark the 20th anniversary of their self-titled debut album, Black Stone Cherry, by playing the record in full. The second set will mix long-standing fan favourites with fresh material from their upcoming EP, Celebrate.
Tickets for this major tour go on general sale from Friday 12th December at 10am, with artist pre-sales available from Tuesday 9th December. Speaking about the upcoming trek, the band enthused:
“We cannot wait to come back to the UK and celebrate with all of our Cherry Heads across so many different cities! Touring overseas is such a thrill and exciting thing for us and we will absolutely bring the energy and vibe with us to every stop on the tour! Plus, new music! Love you and see you soon!”
While the tour is the main event, the band will also be supporting their new EP, Celebrate, which is scheduled for release on 6th March via Mascot Records. Produced by the band themselves, the EP features the title track “Celebrate” alongside “Neon Eyes”, “I’m Fine”, and “Deep”. It also includes a cover of the Simple Minds classic “Don’t You (Forget About Me)”, featuring guest vocals from Tyler Connolly of Theory of a Deadman.
