Culture Club are set to bring a celebration of one of pop music’s most enduring catalogues back to arenas across the UK this winter, announcing a major ten-date tour for December 2026.
Boy George @ Rough Trade East
Dubbed The Singles Tour, the run promises an evening packed with era-defining hits from the band’s glittering four-decade career, including Karma Chameleon, Do You Really Want To Hurt Me, Church Of The Poison Mind, Time (Clock Of The Heart), Miss Me Blind and I’ll Tumble 4 Ya.
Fronted by the unmistakable Boy George, Culture Club remain one of the most influential British bands to emerge from the early ‘80s new romantic movement. Their flamboyant visuals, soulful melodies and genre-blurring sound helped reshape mainstream pop culture while simultaneously turning the group into international superstars.
Beginning in Bournemouth on 7th December, the arena trek will travel through Cardiff, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Newcastle, Glasgow, Sheffield and Birmingham before culminating with a huge London headline show at The O2 on 19th December.
Joining the band throughout the tour are fellow British pop legends ABC and Haircut 100, making the run a stacked celebration of classic ‘80s British pop.
Culture Club’s legacy remains staggering. Since bursting onto the scene in 1982, the band have sold more than 100 million singles and 50 million albums worldwide, while Boy George himself became one of music’s most recognisable and groundbreaking cultural figures. Their 1984 GRAMMY® Award for Best New Artist cemented their global impact, while a string of chart successes on both sides of the Atlantic ensured the band’s songs became woven into the fabric of pop history.

The announcement arrives as nostalgia-driven arena tours continue to dominate the live calendar, but few acts can boast a catalogue as instantly recognisable or as influential as Culture Club’s. With their vibrant stage presence and timeless hooks still connecting across generations, The Singles Tour looks set to be one of the biggest retro-pop events of the winter.
Tickets go on general sale Friday 29th May at 9:30am.
