Robin Trower Announces 2026 UK Tour Dates

Robin Trower has announced a five-date UK tour for late summer 2026, starting at Sunderland Firestation on 31 August and concluding at London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire on 5 September.

The run follows the release of One Moment In Time: Live In The USA, which is out now via Artone / Provogue. Recorded during Trower’s summer 2025 US tour, the live album captures performances from across his catalogue, including Too Rolling Stoned, Day Of The Eagle, Bridge Of Sighs and material from No More Worlds To Conquer and Come And Find Me.

This album was described by MetalTalk as “pleasing in every aspect, one that will be welcomed by his hardcore fan base, and one that should also be embraced by those who may not be familiar with his work.”

“I’m a different player on the stage,” Trower has said. “It’s almost impossible to get to that point in the studio. It’s the sound of the guitar, it’s the volume, it’s the crowd. For what I do, it takes one hundred per cent commitment for it to work.”

Trower says he enjoys the freedom of the three-piece live format, praising bassist and vocalist Richard Watts and drummer Chris Taggart, both of whom he has worked with for around a decade.

“In a three-piece, everybody is trying to make up for the missing instrument,” Trower says. “I’m very fortunate to play with guys of this calibre. They have to watch me a bit, because obviously I’m leading and they have to follow. But they do a brilliant job.”

The tour also arrives during another productive period for the British blues-rock guitarist, following recent studio albums including Come And Find Me (2025), Joyful Sky (2023), No More Worlds To Conquer (2022) and Coming Closer To The Day (2019).
