Jamie T debuts new songs at Scala and confirms UK tour
Developing story first seen 3 hours ago
Jamie T returned to the stage on 20 August 2026 with a last-minute, intimate show at London's Scala, previewing new material and confirming a full-scale 2026 UK tour. Tickets for the surprise gig, announced only the week before, reportedly sold out within minutes, and the performance marked the musician's first live outing in nearly two years following his 2024 Victorious Festival set, coming days after he unveiled his sixth album, "Ghosts (100 Days Of Morning)".
Across an 85-minute set opening at 8.30pm, Treays performed two new songs, "Waist 36" Leg 32"" and lead single "3310", alongside tracks drawn evenly from his five existing albums, including "Rabbit Hole", "Salvador" and "Sheila". A five-song encore featured a rare live outing for "Thank You" and saw The Maccabees' Hugo White join him on guitar for "Sticks N' Stones" and "Zombies", before Treays closed the night by thanking the crowd and promising to return soon.

Jamie T is the stage name of Jamie Treays, a British singer-songwriter known for blending indie, punk and hip-hop influences, who first found success in the late 2000s. He has released five albums to date and has a reputation for stepping away from touring and public life for long stretches between projects, which makes each return a notable event for fans.
The Scala show matters because it was his first live performance in almost two years and came only days after he released his sixth album, "Ghosts (100 Days Of Morning)". Scala is a well-known, relatively small live music venue in London, so a surprise gig there functions as an intimate warm-up rather than a large-scale concert.
The appearance also matters because it confirmed a full UK tour is planned for later in 2026, giving fans a first sense of how the new material will be performed live and signalling a more sustained return to touring after his recent hiatus.
