Biffy Clyro announce 2026 UK and Ireland shows for Futique tour
Biffy Clyro have announced UK and Ireland dates for their 2026 Futique tour. The Mountains band – made up of frontman Simon Neil and twin brothers James and Ben Johnston – will be hitting the road next year in support of their upcoming album of the same name, which is to be released on September 26. The tour will begin on January 9 at Belfast's SSE Arena and will include stops in London and Manchester before concluding later in the month with two homecoming shows for the Scottish rockers in Aberdeen and Glasgow. Biffy Clyro will be supported on the tour by special guests Soft Play and The Armed. The group said of the announcement: "It's f****** time... 'The Futique Tour 2026.' Tickets go on sale on July 31 at 10am, while pre-sale options will be available at the same time on July 29. Futique marks Biffy Clyro's 10th studio record and Neil has described it as "an exploration of ideas, objects or relationships that exist across time". The 45-year-old musician said: "We are never aware when we do anything for the last time, and there's a beauty and sadness within that. What will be your 'Futique'?" A press release following the album's announcement in June read: "The idea behind the title was informed by Neil's thoughts on how our perceptions of memory have shifted during the digital era. "Whereas once people might keep their treasured memories filed away in photo albums, now a seemingly infinite amount of images spanning years of our lives can be accessed in a split second on our phones. "That led to reminiscing about the people and the things he misses from his youth. But more intriguingly, it inspired a different thought, what are the things that he cherishes now that he will miss in the future?" Biffy Clyro UK and Ireland tour dates 2026: Friday 9 January – SSE Arena, Belfast Saturday 10 January – 3Arena, Dublin Monday 12 January – Motorpoint Arena, Nottingham Wednesday 14 January – The O2, London Friday 16 January – Utilita Arena, Birmingham Saturday 17 January – Co-Op Live, Manchester Sunday 18 January – Utilita Arena, Cardiff Tuesday 20 January – P+J Live, Aberdeen Wednesday 21 January – OVO Hydro, Glasgow

Lewis Capaldi tickets and how to get yours for Cardiff concert
Earlier this month, Scottish sensation Lewis Capaldi made a surprise comeback on a Glastonbury stage, marking his first public appearance since taking a hiatus from the spotlight. Now, he's back with a renewed vigour; announcing a new single, album, and a series of tour dates scheduled for September this year in the process. This autumn, the Someone You Loved singer will be hitting some massive venues. This list includes London's O2 Arena, Nottingham's Motorpoint Arena and Cardiff's Utilita Arena. However, tickets for the arena tour were snapped up in record time, selling out swiftly as fans rushed to secure their spots. Despite an impressive offering of over 300,000 tickets across 17 dates, supply couldn't meet the overwhelming demand. Fortunately, tickets have now surfaced on various online retail platforms, including viagogo and Seat Unique, among others. Here's the breakdown of what fans need to know now. Viagogo and resale tickets Sites such as viagogo, Stubhub, and Vivid Seats allow fans to buy resale tickets from other fans. However, it is important to note that ticket conditions often prohibit resale after initial purchase. Those tickets may not be valid for admittance to gigs. Fans intending to buy tickets for live events through resale websites should check the ticket terms and conditions, to confirm whether resale is prohibited, before they buy. Ticket terms and conditions can be checked with the original seller, such as Ticketmaster or Live Nation. If resale is prohibited, tickets bought second-hand could be voided and admission to the event refused. How to buy Lewis Capaldi tickets now Tickets for Lewis Capaldi's concerts are currently up for grabs from various online outlets, including both official and resale platforms. The latter of which are fans' best bet to secure tickets at the drop of a hat. What's more, at present, resale platforms such as StubHub are offering tickets at approximately £150 each. Here are the links: For those keen on buying from official retailers, there are still options available there as well. While Ticketmaster may yet release more tickets (or put resale tickets on sale), none are available as of right now. With that said, it is worth keeping an eye on the ticketing giant's website for new additions to the website. Meanwhile, Seat Unique is stepping into the breach. This official retailer specialises in VIP and hospitality tickets, some of which come with complimentary food and drink, premium views, box seats, and much more. And, at the time of writing, they have plenty of tickets available right now, including some which come with early access to the venue, pre-gig entertainment, and access to VIP lounge areas. Here are the links for both: TICKETMASTER - Lewis Capaldi tickets.
