Tide Lines Announce Autumn UK Headline Tour In Support Of New LP ‘Glasgow Love Story’

Tide Lines are making a bigger impact than ever before as they build towards the release of their highly anticipated new album Glasgow Love Story. Their recent double A-side single By The Quayside / Leaving Town demonstrates their expanding powers at using evocative Scottish narratives to establish an emotional connection, supported by music that flows naturally between driving indie-rock and intimate folk-pop arrangements. Always a huge draw in the live arena, the band also recently performed in front of 67,000 people as they inspired Scotland to a triumphant Six Nations win over Wales at Murrayfield Stadium.

Now Tide Lines continue that ascendant momentum with confirmation of their autumn Glasgow Love Story UK headline tour. It includes their biggest London show to date at the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire, and concludes with a trio of gigs across Scotland at Edinburgh, Stirling and Dundee. Tickets for the tour go on general sale HERE from 10am on Wednesday, March 26th.

Vocalist / guitarist Robert Robertson says: “We can’t wait to get back out on the road for a run of shows that will include some of the songs from the new album. It’s been amazing to see our fans’ reaction to the singles on social media but nothing beats playing live and hearing people sing along! There are a lot of new venues for us on this tour which is exciting. First up, our adopted home city of Glasgow (which inspired the album) and our biggest ever headline show in Rouken Glen Park!”

The autumn headline tour will follow a summer of high profile moments for the band. First up is the biggest headline show of their career to date, a 5000-capacity outdoor event at Glasgow’s Rouken Glen Park on 6th June, a special opening concert for this year’s The Reeling festival. They will also headline the Thursday night at the HebCelt festival; play a free show at Aberdeen’s Quayside Concerts on 20th July with guest Calum Bowie as part of The Tall Ships Race festivities; and are also confirmed for the Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival.

In addition, Tide Lines will also play five special intimate Glasgow Love Story album launch shows across Scotland from May 9th-13th, all of which rapidly sold-out.

Tide Lines are also building up to release the new single Better Days on 28th March. Robert Robertson explains: “Better Days is a song looking back on youthful optimism and togetherness. It reflects the ‘southern bound’ journey that the band took from the highlands of Scotland to Glasgow – a city celebrated in the album as a whole. Both lyrically and musically, it harks back to our folk roots: talking of ‘tales of old acquaintance’ and incorporating more traditional instruments that we recorded in our studio on the Hebridean island of Mull.”

Released via their own independent label, Glasgow Love Story is a deeply personal tribute to the city that has shaped the band’s journey – capturing its people, places, and spirit through evocative storytelling and anthemic indie-folk melodies. Glasgow is very close to the band’s heart. From their first casual meet up in a West End bar in 2016, to subsequent rehearsals in a Finnieston studio, right through to their recent induction into the Barrowland Hall of Fame, Glasgow has remained a central influence in the Tide Lines story.

The record follows the breakthrough success of 2023’s An Ocean Full of Islands which reached #13 in the UK, #1 in Scotland and #2 on the Independent Albums chart. Boosted by extensive Radio 2 support, their shows in support of the record included three consecutive sold-out nights at Glasgow’s Barrowland Ballroom.

Garbage Celebrate Three Decades Of Defiance At London’s Roundhouse

Thirty years into a career built on challenging convention, Garbage arrive at London’s Roundhouse looking anything but content to trade on nostalgia. Despite three decades of touring the capital, tonight marks the band’s first appearance at the iconic Camden venue, and from the moment Shirley Manson, Duke Erikson, Steve Marker, Butch Vig and touring bassist Nicole Fiorentino step onto the stage, they perform with the urgency of a band still determined to push forwards rather than look back.

Full Circle At O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire: Lifehouse Return To London In Intimate Acoustic Triumph

There are gigs that simply entertain, and then there are gigs that transport you. Lifehouse’s long-overdue return to London at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire is very much the latter. Eleven years since their last visit to the capital, Jason Wade and longtime guitarist Steve Stout strip everything back for the second of two London acoustic shows—following the previous evening’s performance at nearby Bush Hall—and in doing so remind a packed Shepherd’s Bush Empire exactly why these songs have endured for a quarter of a century.

It was yet another warm, sunny London day, the start of the country’s next heatwave, as thousands descended on Hyde Park for the final day of the second BST Hyde Park weekend of 2026. There was another event looming over the evening too: England’s World Cup Round of 16 clash with Mexico, kicking off at the decidedly unsociable hour of 1am. Football could wait though. Sunday belonged to disco legends, glam-pop icons and one of Britain’s most enduring bands as Duran Duran headlined a day that effortlessly balanced nostalgia with timeless musicianship.
