Get ready for the ultimate indie-rock spectacle as Two Door Cinema Club embark on their most epic UK and Ireland tour yet! To mark the 15th anniversary of their genre-defining debut album, 'Tourist History', the Northern Irish trio is unleashing a five-date arena assault in early 2027. This highly anticipated series of shows promises to be a nostalgic dream come true for fans who've been holding onto the memories of those euphoric 'What You Know' sing-alongs from a decade and a half ago.
The tour roars into life on January 23rd at Dublin's 3Arena, where the band will unleash their signature blend of synth-heavy hooks and infectious beats. The following night, they'll be in Belfast's SSE Arena, bringing the energy to the streets of Northern Ireland. Next up, it's Glasgow's OVO Hydro (January 26th) before they head south to England for dates at Manchester's AO Arena (January 27th) and London's iconic O2 on January 28th.
'Tourist History' was a game-changer for Two Door Cinema Club when it dropped in 2010. It stormed the Irish charts, topping the number one spot and earning them a coveted spot in the BBC's 'Sound Of' poll. The album's distinct sound, characterised by those 'stuttering yet spiky songs', still has fans begging for more. Bassist Kevin Baird reflected on their debut, saying they felt like outsiders trying to forge their own path – but it was this very spirit that helped them craft something truly special.
Support acts will add an extra layer of excitement to each show. The Royston Club joins the party in Dublin and Belfast, while Circa Waves and Arkayla bring their unique talents to the Scottish, English, and London dates. This blend of seasoned pros and fresh faces guarantees a non-stop musical extravaganza that's not to be missed.
But 'Tourist History' isn't the only anniversary tour on Two Door Cinema Club's horizon. They've got a busy schedule lined up for 2027, including concerts at Cardiff Castle and New York's Madison Square Garden later this year. As they continue to push the boundaries of their sound, fans can expect new singles like 'Sure Enough' (2023) and 'Happy Customers' (2024) to get a live workout.
Don't wait – fan presales for the 2027 arena tour kick off on July 1st at 9 am BST, with general sale tickets available from July 3rd. This is your chance to relive the magic of 'Tourist History' or experience it for the first time in all its glory.
