by | Jun 29, 2026

The five-date run, taking place in January 2027, will see the Northern Irish trio perform Tourist History in full alongside a career-spanning selection of fan favourites, marking a major milestone for one of the defining indie bands of the past two decades.

The announcement follows an unforgettable weekend for the band, whose sold-out Crystal Palace Park show drew 25,000 fans for a celebration of a catalogue that has lost none of its energy or appeal. Blending early classics with material from across their career, the performance reaffirmed why songs such as What You Know, Undercover Martyn, Something Good Can Work and I Can Talk continue to soundtrack festival fields and indie dancefloors around the world.

Released in 2010, Tourist History quickly established Two Door Cinema Club as one of the UK’s most exciting emerging acts. Its infectious blend of angular guitars, shimmering melodies and irresistible hooks helped define an era of indie music, earning critical acclaim while launching the band from small club venues to sold-out arenas and festival headline slots across the globe.

Fifteen years on, the record remains every bit as influential, with its songs continuing to resonate with both long-time fans and a new generation discovering the album for the first time.

Speaking about the forthcoming tour, the band said: “It’s been over seven years since we’ve done a UK and Ireland tour. Each and every one of these cities holds a special place in our hearts, we’ve played almost every venue there is to play in each of them, now it’s time for the big ones. We can’t wait.”

The arena run begins in Dublin before travelling to Belfast, Glasgow and Manchester, culminating with a headline performance at London’s The O2.

Joining the band across the tour will be an impressive line-up of special guests. The Royston Club, who also impressed audiences at Crystal Palace Park this weekend, will support on the Dublin and Belfast dates, while Circa Waves and rising indie outfit Arkayla join the bill for Glasgow, Manchester and London.

The newly announced dates continue what is shaping up to be another landmark period for Two Door Cinema Club, following major headline performances including New York’s Madison Square Garden and their biggest London outdoor show to date.
