## Summary

Kasabian have announced a five-date UK arena tour for December 2026, titled 'Nothing Better Than This', with support from The Vaccines. The tour follows the band's sold-out headline show at London's Finsbury Park, where they drew a crowd of 45,000 – their biggest in the capital to date – and shares its name with a track from their forthcoming ninth studio album 'Act III'.

The run opens at Birmingham's Utilita Arena on 11 December and continues through Glasgow's OVO Hydro, Cardiff's Utilita Arena and London's The O2, before finishing at Manchester's Co-op Live on 19 December. Artist pre-sale tickets go on sale at 9am on Wednesday 15 July, with general sale from 9am on Friday 17 July. Ahead of the tour, the Leicester band have a busy summer of festival dates including Boardmasters, Victorious and Mad Cool, plus a first-ever Thursday night main-stage headline slot at Leeds Festival in August. 'Act III', produced by Serge Pizzorno and Mark Ralph, is now due for release on 4 September after being delayed from July.
