Starbenders Announce 32 Date UK and European Headline Tour
Atlanta rock ‘n’ roll firestarters Starbenders have announced an expansive 32-date UK and European headline tour for summer 2026, arriving just as their new album The Beast Goes On lands on 27th February via Sumerian Records.
The tour will see the band bring their electric, high-glam live show to thirty-two cities across the continent — a full-scale celebration of a record already shaping up to be their boldest statement yet.
Speaking about returning to the UK, vocalist Kimi Shelter shared:
“The United Kingdom has always felt like a second home to me. I have family roots there and feel that connection every time we land. It’s instinctive and deep. Some of our most powerful shows and favourite memories as a band have happened there. We are counting the days until we are back in the same room with you, sharing that electricity again. I have missed your beautiful faces.”
Tickets for the tour are on sale now and can be found here.

The Beast Goes On Arrives 27 February
The Beast Goes On fuses shimmering synth-rock, moody alt-pop, and raw cinematic energy into a record that feels both intimate and arena-ready. Across thirteen tracks, Starbenders lean into haunting hooks, infectious melodies, and lyrics that wrestle with love, loss, reinvention, and survival in the digital age.
The Beast Goes On will be available across all major streaming platforms, as well as on four vinyl variants (including exclusive limited edition pressings) and CD digipack. The album is available to pre-save and pre-order here.

Glam Swagger Meets Modern Bite
Fronted by the magnetic Kimi Shelter and rounded out by Aaron Lecesne (bass), Kriss Tokaji (guitar), and Qi Wei (drums), Starbenders thrive in the tension between grit and gloss. Towering riffs collide with hypnotic melodies and fearless visuals, bending classic rock influence into something sharp, urgent, and unmistakably their own.
With major playlist support, radio airplay, and a growing reputation as a must-see live act, this next chapter feels less like a step forward and more like a full sprint.
