THE CHARLATANS ANNOUNCE 2026 UK TOUR

PLUS SPECIAL GUESTS

NEW ALBUM ‘WE ARE LOVE’ OUT 31 OCTOBER

Following the announcement of their brand-new album We Are Love — due for release on Friday, October 31, via BMG — one of Britain’s best-loved UK bands, The Charlatans, have confirmed details of a new UK tour for April and May 2026.

Kicking things off at Norwich UEA on 24th April, the band will perform ten dates across the country culminating with a headline show at Edinburgh Corn Exchange on 6th May. The tour promises to be a celebration of The Charlatans’ remarkable career as well as a chance to hear brand new material from their upcoming album.

The Charlatans UK’s career spans 14 albums, 22 Top 40 singles, three Number One albums and era-defining anthems like 'The Only One I Know', ‘North Country Boy’ and 'One to Another’. Forthcoming album We Are Love launches a bold new era, one that finds them at peace with their past whilst looking forward to a bright future. Lead single 'We Are Love' is a celebratory statement of intent, an urgent, limber, clattering love song to the human race.

An eight-year gap between albums is the longest ever for one of the UK’s most enduring bands. A combination of covid, solo projects, life’s complexities and the fact that its five members - Tim Burgess (vocals) Martin Blunt (bass), Mark Collins (guitar), Tony Rogers (keyboards) and Pete Salisbury (drums) - live scattered across Europe, meant that it took longer than usual for the stars to align at the right place, right time, right vibe.

They took the time to carefully select a recording A-team of production duo Dev Hynes (aka Blood Orange and Lightspeed Champion) and Fred Macpherson (Spector, Rachel Chinouriri, Jessica Winter, Taahliah), plus legendary producer Stephen Street (The Smiths, Blur, The Cranberries), alongside a list of engineers, mixers and collaborators that reads like a who’s who of alt rock greatness. The result has been well worth the wait.

Tickets for their new UK dates go on general sale on Friday 31st October at 9:00am and will be available from www.gigsandtours.com / www.ticketmaster.co.uk / www.thecharlatans.net
