Scottish rock band Biffy Clyro has unveiled plans for a major European tour in 2026, coinciding with the release of their highly anticipated new album, Futique. Set to drop on September 25, 2025, via Warner Records, the album launch is being followed by an extensive arena run across the UK, Ireland, and mainland Europe, marking a significant chapter in the band’s career.
The tour kicks off on January 9, 2026, at Belfast’s SSE Arena and will take the band through a string of prominent cities including Dublin, London, Birmingham, Manchester, and Cardiff. The UK and Ireland leg culminates with two standout Scottish shows: a first-ever performance at Aberdeen’s P&J Live on January 20, followed by a hometown finale at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on January 21.
Fans can expect an electrifying live experience as Biffy Clyro brings their explosive show to these arenas alongside special guests Soft Play and The Armed. Soft Play, formerly known as Slaves, is an English rock duo known for their gritty sound and compelling performances, while The Armed, an anonymous American hardcore punk collective, are preparing to release their album The Future is Here and Everything Needs to Be Destroyed on August 1, 2025. The inclusion of these acts promises a diverse and dynamic concert atmosphere.
Rob Wicks, Managing Director of P&J Live, expressed excitement about hosting the band for their inaugural show at the venue. “After a sensational performance at both Glastonbury and TRNSMT, we are delighted to welcome the Scottish trio to Aberdeen, who are bound to put on an electric performance to gig goers next year,” he said. “This will be their first visit to our new venue, and we can’t wait to show them around.”
The announcement follows Biffy Clyro’s recent headline slot at the TRNSMT Festival, where they closed day two with a rousing performance that thrilled fans and critics alike. Prior to that, the band had sold out three shows at Glasgow’s iconic Barrowland Ballroom in October 2024, moving 5,612 tickets and grossing nearly $400,000, a testament to their enduring popularity and live draw.
Ticket sales are set to begin with a presale on Tuesday, July 29, 2025, at 10 a.m. local time. Fans can gain early access by pre-ordering Futique through the band’s official store or registering for early access via a “no purchase necessary” link before 3 p.m. on Monday, July 28. This presale window extends to O2 Priority and Virgin Media customers, as well as Three Mobile users who can access tickets through the three+ app. General ticket sales open on Thursday, July 31, at 10 a.m. via Ticketmaster, Live Nation, and AXS.
For the Scottish shows, additional presale opportunities are available. OVO customers registered with the OVO Live program can access a presale starting at 10 a.m. on July 29, while Gigs in Scotland will offer presale tickets from 10 a.m. on July 30. Fans are advised to register accounts ahead of time and use only one device and browser tab during purchase attempts to avoid being flagged as bots. Ticket limits are set to six per person.
Ticket prices vary by venue, with Glasgow’s OVO Hydro tickets ranging from £50.25 to £80.50, including fees. Aberdeen’s P&J Live tickets start at £42.50, with prices fluctuating based on ticket type and availability.
The band’s frontman expressed enthusiasm about the tour with a succinct statement: “It’s f****** time... The Futique Tour 2026.” This sentiment captures the anticipation surrounding both the album and the live shows, which promise to showcase Biffy Clyro’s evolving sound and stage presence.
Following the UK and Ireland dates, Biffy Clyro will embark on a comprehensive European leg. This will include stops in the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, France, Portugal, Austria, Luxembourg, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. The tour’s broad itinerary reflects the band’s international appeal and commitment to connecting with fans across the continent.
With the release of Futique just around the corner and a tour that spans major cities and venues, Biffy Clyro is poised to make 2026 a landmark year. Their blend of powerful rock anthems and intense live performances continues to resonate, promising fans an unforgettable experience.
