The Royston Club Announce Biggest Headline Shows Yet With 2026 Songs For The Spine Tour

by | Nov 18, 2025

Fresh from a breakthrough year that’s seen their album Songs For The Spine hit Number 4 on the UK charts, a completely sold-out autumn tour, and a nomination at the Rolling Stone UK Awards, The Royston Club are wasting no time in keeping momentum high. The Welsh indie quartet have announced a major Songs For The Spine headline tour for May 2026 — their biggest run of shows to date.

The new tour will see the band play to almost 10,000 fans across just three UK dates, kicking off with a milestone moment: their largest London headline show ever at the iconic Roundhouse on 7th May. From there, they head north to Edinburgh’s Corn Exchange before wrapping the UK leg at Manchester’s O2 Victoria Warehouse. European fans aren’t left out either, with dates in Berlin and Paris to follow — the latter marking a step up to the larger Petit Bain after two recent sold-out shows in the French capital.

“We’re all excited to bring Songs For The Spine on tour again in 2026 for our biggest ever headline shows,” the band said, reflecting the confidence and excitement that has marked their rise across 2025.

Before the new tour begins, The Royston Club will close out the year with two more sold-out shows — at Cardiff’s Great Hall on 12th December and Liverpool’s Mountford Hall on 13th December. Their packed 2026 festival calendar is also already taking shape, including appearances at Neighbourhood Weekender (24th May), Rock The People (11th June), and a huge slot at London’s Crystal Palace Park supporting Two Door Cinema Club on 26th June.

Luvcat Dazzles At KOKO: Theatrical Noir, Liverpudlian Charm And A Dash Of Red Wine Magic

For an artist whose world seems stitched together from silver-screen glamour, smoky jazz clubs and the afterglow of heartbreak, Luvcat – the stage name of Liverpool-born Sophie Morgan Howarth – is every bit as cinematic live as her debut album Vicious Delicious suggests. At KOKO, Camden on Wednesday night, the rising star turned the storied venue into a dreamscape of old Hollywood, haunted romance and camp theatre – a show that was equal parts cabaret, confession and carnival.

Reef Replenish The O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire On Debut LP’s 25th Anniversary Spectacular

Thirty years after Reef hit the charts, they’re back to celebrate the record that cemented them as Britpop stalwarts. After three decades, Replenish stands up as a strong statement, and the way it emerges onstage at the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire is a slow, realised appreciation of how an album can spread it’s roots over time.
