Following the incredible response to the announcement of their July 2026 intimate tour, Blue have just added a run of special early matinee performances in Norwich, Leeds, Wrexham, Liverpool, Lancaster and Kingston, as well as an additional date in Southampton, with an intimate gig in Papillon, after every show sold out within the first day of on-sale. Norwich proved to be the fastest-selling of the run, with all tickets snapped up in five minutes. There’s also a chance to see them locally on their headline tour at Portsmouth Guildhall in May.
How often do you get to see No.1, multiple-Platinum, BRIT Award-winning pop legends in a venue so intimate you feel part of the action even at the back of the room? That’s something that Blue are set to do with the confirmation of their UK outstore tour in July 2026.
The tour will see the Blue boys (Antony Costa, Duncan James, Lee Ryan and Simon Webbe) play some of the smallest shows in their 25-year history – a real rarity for a band who have filled countless arena shows, including London’s 20,000-capacity O2. What’s more, several of the places they will visit they have rarely if ever played before.
The tour is in support of their eagerly anticipated new album ‘Reflections’ which will be released on January 9th 2026. Blue have been mounting a big comeback ahead of its release, shooting back into the spotlight with the recent singles ‘One Last Time’ and ‘Waste My Love’.
Blue commented, “We’re about to set off on a huge world tour, taking in some incredible countries and venues, but we’ve also got something special and a bit different lined up for the summer here. Playing and chatting up close and personal in some small venues, to celebrate our 25th anniversary. Expect the biggest hits, the new album and maybe a few surprises along the way.”
