Violet Grohl is in a rush – and so are the fans! The buzz around her debut album 'Be Sweet To Me', released back in May, has turned into an all-out stampede, prompting her to expand her 2026 UK tour. "Overwhelming demand" is how her team describes it, and we can't blame them for wanting more of this talented songstress.
The momentum's been building since she initially announced a string of headline dates across the US, UK, and Europe in April – but it was that second London show that really got the wheels turning. Now, with tickets flying out the window at an alarming rate, Grohl's upgraded her Manchester gig to the swanky Band On The Wall on August 25 (a far cry from the Deaf Institute she initially booked), while adding a new Brighton date at Chalk on October 8 – giving fans in the South East even more chances to get up close and personal.
But don't just take our word for it; the numbers tell the story. Two sold-out nights at London's Barfly Camden on September 1 and 2 are a testament to her pulling power, with other confirmed dates already filling up fast in Glasgow (King Tut's Wah Wah Hut on August 26), Liverpool (Arts Club on October 3), and Bristol (Thekla on October 4). And that's not all – she'll also be gracing the stages of Reading & Leeds, Electric Picnic, Pukkelpop, and Lowlands festivals this summer.
It's no surprise Grohl's music has connected with audiences; her unapologetic views on navigating the industry as a young woman have struck a chord. She's spoken candidly about tackling attitude problems in male-dominated spaces: "I don’t like male musicians my age – I don’t care. They have attitude problems." It's this refreshingly honest approach, combined with her advice to assert boundaries ("The best advice I’ve been given is that it’s OK to say no or that you don’t want to do something") that's resonated with fans worldwide.
Her father, Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl, couldn't be prouder of his daughter's independent spirit. "I’m totally uninvolved," he reveals. "I’m like the dad that wants to be there and know everything and she’s just totally doing her own thing. It’s amazing." And it certainly is – especially considering tickets for these newly added and upgraded shows are already up for grabs via standard ticketing platforms.
