Hot Mulligan, the American emo powerhouse, is gearing up to take Europe, the UK, and Ireland by storm in early 2026, announcing a headlining tour that promises to be their biggest yet. The tour, which will run through February and March, marks a new chapter for the band as they celebrate the release of their critically acclaimed fourth studio album, The Sound A Body Makes When It’s Still, which dropped in August 2025 via Wax Bodega.
This upcoming run is no small feat. Hot Mulligan will play 15 cities across the continent, culminating in a much-anticipated show at London’s iconic Roundhouse on March 12, 2026. The tour kicks off on February 20 at Botanique Orangerie in Brussels, Belgium, and will wind its way through major European capitals and UK hotspots before wrapping up at The Academy in Dublin, Ireland, on March 15. Fans across the region are already abuzz, with tickets on sale as of October 7, 2025, and venues expected to fill fast.
According to Distorted Sound Magazine, the tour follows Hot Mulligan’s recent arena stint supporting Pierce The Veil, a move that has only broadened their reach and further cemented their place in the upper echelons of the emo and pop-punk scene. But this time, the spotlight is entirely on them. Every date on the tour will feature support from Delta Sleep, a UK math rock outfit known for their intricate rhythms and energetic live performances. It’s a pairing that’s sure to delight both longtime fans and newcomers alike.
The heart of this tour is, without a doubt, the band’s new record. The Sound A Body Makes When It’s Still has been met with widespread acclaim since its release, with critics and fans alike praising its urgency, emotional depth, and musical maturity. Moshville Times describes the album as “driven by a sense of urgency,” erupting into “blistering choruses” and showcasing “some of the most unguarded moments the band has ever committed to tape.” The record is packed with “fight-or-flight hooks, shimmering guitar lines and Tades Sanville’s gripping vocals,” making it arguably Hot Mulligan’s most cohesive and fully realized work to date.
For those unfamiliar, Hot Mulligan formed in 2014 and have been steadily building their reputation ever since. Their 2018 album Pilot put them on the map, and subsequent tours with scene heavyweights like The Wonder Years and Jimmy Eat World helped them amass a dedicated, ever-growing fanbase. Over the years, the band has become known for their raw, relatable lyrics and energetic performances—qualities that are sure to be on full display throughout this upcoming tour.
