Music venues and promoters have unveiled a fresh wave of major tour announcements this week, led by Weezer and Phish, alongside a wide mix of established and emerging acts confirming new dates across the UK, Europe, Asia and North America. The flurry of news matters to fans planning ahead, as several long-running or high-profile artists are expanding previously announced tours, while breakthrough acts are capitalising on recent buzz to lock in bigger venues.

Weezer have added Asian, UK and European legs to their previously announced 32-date North American run in support of new album The Gold Album, while Phish have confirmed fresh North American dates for October. Van Morrison has added a ten-date UK tour alongside his September residency at London's British Airways ARC, and Mercury Prize nominee Dove Ellis has announced shows in Glasgow, Leeds, London and Dublin. The Mary Wallopers will tour the UK and Ireland from October to 19 December before heading to North America in March 2027, indie act Truthpaste play Moth Club and White Hotel in December, and US folk-punk band AJJ are returning to the UK for the first time since their 2020 tour was cancelled, alongside a new album, Dirty Old Power.
