Get ready to rock, Britain! Brandon Flowers is back on tour – but this time it's just him, no Killers entourage in sight. The American crooner has announced an epic solo jaunt across the UK, Ireland, and North America in 2026, promising a sonic explosion that will leave fans gasping for more.
The UK leg kicks off in October with eight electrifying dates, including a highly anticipated show at London's iconic Royal Albert Hall on October 15 – a venue where Flowers' band The Killers once slayed the stage in 2009. Other confirmed stops include Bournemouth, Bristol, Nottingham, Manchester, York, Glasgow, and Birmingham, before he brings the party to Dublin, Ireland.
But what's really got fans buzzing is Flowers' new solo album 'Thrasher', set for release on August 21 through Island Records. The lead single, 'Plans', drops this Friday, June 26 – a tantalising teaser of the sonic delights to come. Expect a deep dive into Flowers' personal experiences and American South West inspirations, all served with a Springsteen-esque twist.
And when it comes to the album's backing band, Flowers has assembled an A-list squad featuring Nashville legends like David Rawlings (Gillian Welch's guitarist), Bruce Bouton (pedal steel master), and 85-year-young harmonica hero Charlie McCoy – a true icon who's lent his unique touch to records by Bob Dylan.
Tickets go on general sale on July 3 at 10 am, but dedicated fans can get their hands on pre-sale tickets starting July 1. This is Flowers' chance to shine in the solo spotlight, away from The Killers' stadium anthems and out into the intimate arena of his own making.
The Killers have always had a special bond with their UK fanbase – think sold-out festivals, arenas packed to the rafters, and chart-topping hits galore. Flowers' solo tours often feel like a private party for those in the know, offering an exclusive glimpse into his musical world. Get ready to join the party!
