Black Stone Cherry Announce An Evening With 2026 UK Tour

Kentucky rockers Black Stone Cherry have announced an intimate An Evening With… UK headline tour for autumn 2026. Each night will feature two full sets as the band celebrate the 20th anniversary of their 2006 self-titled debut album and premiere new material from their upcoming Celebrate EP, due 6 March via Mascot Records.

Running for almost a month, the UK leg follows a full European run and will hit Nottingham, Margate, Norwich, Manchester, Dublin, Cork, Belfast, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Newcastle, Wolverhampton, Cardiff, Torquay and Frome, before wrapping up with two shows in London.

Across the tour, the Kentucky outfit promise an evening of Southern rock muscle with a Heavy Metal bite, as they play the debut album front to back and then return for a second set packed with long-time favourites and brand new songs.

Artist presale tickets go live on Tuesday 9 December at 10:00 am, with local presales following on Wednesday 10 December at 10:00 am. General sale starts Friday 12 December at 10:00 am. Tickets and an exclusive T shirt and ticket bundle for fans in England, Scotland and Wales are available via the band’s official website.

Speaking about the tour, Black Stone Cherry say they cannot wait to return to the UK and celebrate with their Cherry Heads in so many different cities, promising to bring maximum energy, good vibes and new music to every stop.

Black Stone Cherry are already on the road in the US, working new songs from Celebrate into their high voltage live set. The band recently released a video for the EP’s title track Celebrate, which encourages fans to celebrate every little thing in life, even if it is just making it through the day.

The video for Neon Eyes, also taken from the EP, follows the group through a day on the road and climaxes with their headline performance at the 2025 Maid of Stone Festival in the UK, giving fans a taste of what to expect on the 2026 tour.

Produced by the band, Celebrate is an EP of contrasts, from the woozy, grunge tinged singalong I’m Fine and the emotionally heavy Deep to a bold cover of the Simple Minds classic Don’t You (Forget About Me), featuring guest vocals from longtime friend Tyler Connolly of Theory Of A Deadman.
