South Arcade announce Welcome To The Real World tour with Brixton finale
South Arcade have announced their biggest headline tour to date, with the Welcome To The Real World Tour set to take them across the UK and Ireland in February 2027.
The 12-date run opens at Belfast’s Limelight on 7 February before moving through Dublin, Leeds, Manchester, Newcastle, Glasgow, Birmingham, Nottingham, Norwich, Cardiff and Bristol. It ends with what is being billed as the band’s largest headline show so far, at London’s O2 Academy Brixton on 25 February.
A landmark Brixton show caps the February run
Speaking about the tour, the band said: “We are so excited to be back out touring the UK and Ireland again, as well as our first time headlining in the EU! This is easily our biggest tour to date and it cannot come soon enough – now we just need to make sure we have enough space in our trailer for all the amps!”
The announcement follows a busy run of live dates for South Arcade, including appearances at Rock For People and Download, with TRNSMT also on the schedule before the band return to the US for the Summer School Tour and Vans Warped Tour later in the year.
DEADMEAT lands ahead of the tour
The tour news arrives alongside the band’s latest single, DEADMEAT, released via BKM in partnership with Atlantic US. The track has been described by the band as a modern Romeo and Juliet story, with an official video due to follow on Wednesday.
