And now another hugely popular band is set to entertain the masses nearly 20 years after releasing their iconic chart hit Their 2006 banger Chelsea Dagger has become a nightclub staple and is often played at sporting events. The band behind the tune is, of course, The Fratellis who will play to their Glasgow home crowd in February. The trio, comprising Jon Fratelli, bassist Barry Fratelli, and drummer Mince Fratelli, will perform at the O2 Academy. An online blurb reads: "To celebrate the 20th anniversary of their debut album 'Costello Music', The Fratellis have announced a run of dates across the UK in February 2026. "In the autumn of 2006, Scottish indie-rockers The Fratellis burst onto the scene with their blistering debut album, Costello Music. "Filled to the brim with catchy riffs and brash vocals, the record featured some of the band's most enduring tracks, including the cheeky Henrietta, the slightly softer Whistle for the Choir, and the truly iconic Chelsea Dagger." Presale tickets go on sale on Thursday 17 July. It comes weeks after The Fratellis pulled out of the headline slot at a Scottish festival this summer over a pay dispute. The Glasgow rockers were due to headline Back Doune the Rabbit Hole in August. The musicians have said that the move followed organisers' "not fulfilling" contractual agreements to pay deposits. Back Doune the Rabbit Hole is one of four festivals that The Fratellis have pulled out of over such monetary matters. A statement on The Fratellis' website reads: "This is due to promoters of each event not fulfilling our contractual obligations to pay deposits to confirm the band's appearance." 4 The Fratellis are made up of Jon Fratelli, Barry Fratelli and Mince Fratelli Credit: Alamy 4 The Scottish band will play to a lively crowd in their Glasgow hometown Credit: Les Gallagher - The Sun Glasgow
