Squeeze announce 'most ambitious' 2026 UK tour dates including Liverpool, Manchester, Blackpool & Newcastle
Squeeze have announced a huge new tour.
British legends Squeeze have announced the “most ambitious” UK tour of their 50+ year career, which includes a performance at major locations including Liverpool, Blackpool, Manchester and Newcastle.
Founded in 1973 by Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook, Squeeze have a catalogue of sky-high classics such as ‘Up The Junction’, ‘Tempted’, ‘Cool For Cats’, ‘Another Nail In My Heart’ and ‘Labelled With Love’.
The 16-date Tried, Tested and Trixies Tour will see the band headline several arenas for the first time – including a hometown show at London’s O2 Arena just three miles from where the band started. Joining Squeeze on the tour as Very Special Guest will be singer, songwriter and activist Billy Bragg.


Speaking about the tour Tilbrook said, “The reaction to the 50th anniversary tour in 2024 was amazing.
“We have never sounded better and it feels really special to be looking forward to playing the biggest headline shows of our career. And having Billy Bragg on the same bill, what’s not to love.”
Squeeze have confirmed that they will be supporting the charity Trussell, which provides emergency food and support to people who cannot afford the essentials, while campaigning for change to end the need for food banks in the UK.
Fans are invited to bring along food donations to the shows, where there will be collection points across the venue each night. There will also be collection buckets for any cash donations. All donations will be distributed to people facing hardship across the 1,400 food bank centres in the Trussell network.
Additionally, £1 from the sale of every ticket will be going to support grassroots music venues, artists and promoters.
Squeeze’s new album Trixies will be released on March 6, 2026.
Tickets for the Tried, Tested and Trixies tour go on sale at 9.30am on November 28, 2025 here.
