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, including a stop in Portsmouth.
In the autumn of 2006, Scottish indie-rockers The Fratellis burst onto the scene with their blistering debut album, ‘Costello Music’. Filled 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 iconic “Chelsea Dagger”.
Now, almost two decades on, The Fratellis have announced their plans to take ‘Costello Music’ back out on the road. After a run of festival slots this summer, including a performance on the Avalon Stage at Glastonbury, the band will celebrate the 20-year anniversary of their debut record with an extensive UK tour taking place next February.
After kicking things off at Nottingham’s Rock City on 5th February 2026, The Fratellis will bring the infectious choruses of ‘Costello Music’ to a number of historic venues across the country, including Manchester Albert Hall, the Hammersmith Eventim Apollo and Liverpool Olympia. The tour will conclude at NX in Newcastle on 20th February. The full list of dates can be found below.
