Franz Ferdinand schedule UK & European tour for 2026

Franz Ferdinand are busy bees right now, with the Scottish quintet currently gearing up to play at this year’s Glastonbury Festival - and that’s not gonna change any time soon! The group have already confirmed details of a hefty UK and European headline tour, scheduled for early 2026.

Fresh from releasing their seventh album, ‘The Human Fear’, earlier this year, the band have confirmed plans to follow up their huge year of touring with even more touring; following live shows across Australia and Asia in November and December 2025, they’ll head back out on the road a little closer to home next spring. 

The 20-date tour is set to kick off at LiveHouse in Dundee on 24th February 2026, with the UK run drawing to a close with a huge show at London’s Brixton Academy on 11th March 2026. They’ll then pick back up for a series of shows across mainland Europe, including stops in Vienna, Munich, Berlin, Brussels and more. Tickets for the tour are on sale now via the band’s website.

Check out their huge full list of upcoming live shows - including an upcoming intimate gig in Sunderland ahead of their Glasto appearance - below.
