Slash, Greta Van Fleet And Kings Of Leon Among Acts Announcing 2027 UK Shows

A number of major rock and alternative acts announced UK dates for 2027 yesterday, with Slash featuring Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators, Greta Van Fleet, Kings Of Leon, Palaye Royale and Bleech 9:3 all revealing new shows.

Slash featuring Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators announced their Flying Blind World Tour alongside news of their fifth studio album of the same name, due 26 February 2027 via Gibson Records. The UK run will include Cardiff Castle on 30 June, Scarborough Open Air Theatre on 1 July, The Piece Hall in Halifax on 6 July and London’s Eventim Apollo on 7 July.

The announcement also arrived with the album’s title track, ‘Flying Blind’, which is out now with an official video. The new record follows 2022’s 4 and marks the band’s return to the road for their first headline tour since 2024.

Greta Van Fleet have announced a 59-date Into The Beginning world tour in support of their forthcoming fourth album Palace For The People, which arrives on 9 October. Their UK run will take in London on 28 May, Birmingham on 30 May, Manchester on 1 June and Glasgow on 2 June 2027.

The European leg follows the North American opening dates in February and March, before the band return to North America later in the summer. UK and European ticket presales begin on 7 October, with general sale following on 9 October.

Kings Of Leon will return to London for a one-off show at The O2 on 2 July 2027. The date forms part of the venue’s 20th anniversary celebrations and will be the band’s first London appearance since their five-night run at Hyde Park in 2024.

The show comes ahead of the release of their tenth studio album O My Beloved, due 6 November, and is currently their only UK arena date announced for the summer tour.

Palaye Royale have also announced their sixth studio album, Amsterdamage, which is set for release on 22 January 2027 via Sumerian Records. The accompanying world tour will bring the band to Manchester’s O2 Apollo on 30 March, Glasgow’s O2 Academy on 31 March and London’s OVO Arena Wembley on 3 April, with a Dublin date also scheduled.

The band have released ‘Lost In Translation’ as the first preview of the new album, with Amsterdamage following 2023’s Fever Dream.

Meanwhile, Irish alt-rock four-piece Bleech 9:3 have announced their biggest headline tour to date alongside new single ‘Tourniquet’, which premiered as BBC Radio 1’s Hottest Record In The World. The 2027 run includes dates across the UK and Ireland, with London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town among the stops.

With several of these dates going on sale next week, the announcements already give 2027 a busy start for UK rock shows, with more tour news likely to follow as artists begin mapping out their live schedules for the year.
