Hailing from Kentucky, USA, Black Stone Cherry have shared plans for a massive headline tour of the UK lasting nearly a month. The special “An Evening With” shows will follow their recently-announced EU tour, and will call through Nottingham, Margate, Norwich, Manchester, Dublin, Cork, Belfast, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Newcastle, Wolverhampton, Cardiff, Torquey, and Frome, before culminating in two shows in London.
The evening will include two separate sets from the southern rockers, playing their legendary 2006 self-titled debut LP in full (marking its 20th anniversary), and a second set of long-time classics and new songs off the upcoming EP, “Celebrate”.
Artist pre-sale available from Tuesday 9th December @ 10am
Local Presales available from Wednesday 10th December @ 10am
General on-sale available from Friday 12th December @ 10am
Tickets will be available here.
An exclusive t-shirt and ticket bundle is also available for fans in England, Scotland, and Wales.
Talking about the tour, the band say:
“We cannot wait to come back to the UK and celebrate with all of our Cherry Heads across so many different cities! Touring overseas is such a thrill and exciting thing for us and we will absolutely bring the energy and vibe with us to every stop on the tour! Plus, new music! Love you and see you soon”!

Over the past two decades, Black Stone Cherry have grown into a true live powerhouse, winning over audiences worldwide. In the UK alone, they’ve shared stages with rock heavyweights including Def Leppard, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Shinedown, Halestorm, The Darkness, and Bad Company. Their festival credentials are equally impressive – headlining Ramblin’ Man Fair twice (2016 and 2019), topping the bill at Steelhouse in 2023, and delivering standout performances at Download. Alongside these milestones, they’ve undertaken multiple UK headline tours, from arenas to intimate theatres – even a castle – proving both their versatility and the remarkable bond they share with their fans. The extensive dates in 2026 are not to be missed.
Unsurprisingly then, Black Stone Cherry are already on the road, doing what they do best, and are currently winding their way around the US. Along with songs from their high-voltage back catalogue, the band have been airing tracks from their as-yet-unreleased latest EP, “Celebrate”, which will be released on March 6th, 2026 and can be pre-ordered now.
The group recently released the video for the title track “Celebrate, which imparts the heart-warming advice to “celebrate every little thing in life, even if it’s just making it through the day”.
The video of “Neon Eyes”, also included on the EP, follows them on a typical day in the life of a band on the road, as they arrive for their stunning headline performance at the 2025 Maid of Stone Festival in the UK – a taster of what you can expect to experience on their 2026 tour.
Produced by the band themselves, “Celebrate” is an EP of contrasts; from a dreamily woozy, Nirvana-laced grunge singalong (“I’m Fine”), and personal heartache (“Deep”), to a curveball cover of the Simple Minds classic “Don’t You (Forget About Me)”, featuring guest vocals from old Black Stone friend Tyler Connolly (Theory Of A Deadman).
