Announce details of U.K. / EU headline tour for Spring 2026.

Greater Glasgow European Cultural Exchange 2026.

Ahead of their Glastonbury appearance, Franz Ferdinand have today announced details of a U.K. / EU headline tour in spring of next year.

Having released their their much-acclaimed seventh album, The Human Fear, on Domino in January of this year, the past few months have seen the band out on the road globally, playing sold-out headline shows in North and South America and a two night sell out at the Shepherd’s Bush Empire in London amongst others.

The U.K. tour sees the band make a return to the Brixton Academy, before which this summer sees them play extensively across the festivals of Europe before heading to Australia and Japan at the end of the year. The current full list of shows is as follows:
