What to know before you go

Check the door time listed by the official ticket seller. Plan to arrive at least 30 minutes early to clear security and reach your section.
Security check: most venues prohibit professional cameras, large bags and outside food. Check the venue's official policy before traveling.
Bring the same payment card or QR code you used at checkout. Some venues no longer print physical tickets — phone screen is enough.
Dress for the genre and the weather — outdoor shows can get cold after sunset. Comfortable shoes for standing-only sections.

The GoAllConcerts take

The Bluetones arrive with 21 dates across the United Kingdom between October 2026 and March 2027, and that says something. It is a long run spread over twelve cities, not a handful of shows in London. The new album, Atlas, is out in 2026, which gives the tour a reason of its own. This is not only a look back at Expecting to Fly, the 1996 debut that includes Slight Return. It is a band from Hounslow that kept releasing records after Return to the Last Chance Saloon in 1998 and A New Athens in 2010. The tour suits anyone who grew up with Britpop and anyone who likes indie rock in mid-sized rooms such as Queen Margaret Union in Glasgow, Liquid Room in Edinburgh or O2 Academy Oxford. When buying, look at the city and the venue first. The opening six dates fall between 17 and 25 October 2026, and smaller rooms tend to sell out sooner.
