Following the recent announcement of their new studio album ‘Trixies’, Squeeze have announced a massive UK tour for November and December 2026.
The seminal band, founded by Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook in 1973, will delve into their distinguished back catalogue on the tour, which includes anthems ‘Up The Junction’, ‘Tempted’, ‘Cool For Cats’, ‘Another Nail In My Heart’ and ‘Labelled With Love’.
Squeeze’s 16-date Tried, Tested and Trixies Tour opens at Glasgow OVO Hydro on Thursday 12th November and wraps up at Brighton Centre on Saturday 5th December.
The tour will see the band headline several arenas for the first time, including London’s The O2 just a stone’s throw away from where Squeeze started.
Other cities and towns visited include Blackpool, Nottingham, Newcastle, Stockton, Hull, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Cardiff, Birmingham, Swansea, Plymouth and Bournemouth.
The very special guest at all shows will be legendary troubadour Billy Bragg.
Tickets to Squeeze’s Tried, Tested and Trixies Tour are on sale now.
Speaking about the tour Tilbrook said, “The reaction to the 50th anniversary tour in 2024 was amazing. We have never sounded better and it feels really special to be looking forward to playing the biggest headline shows of our career. And having Billy Bragg on the same bill, what’s not to love!”. Difford added, “It’s going to be amazing to show off songs from our album Trixies and, of course, all the hits and some surprises. I’m also excited that Billy Bragg will be joining us for all the shows.”
Squeeze have confirmed that they will, once again, be supporting the charity Trussell, which provides emergency food and support to people who cannot afford the essentials, while campaigning for change to end the need for food banks in the UK.
Fans are invited to bring along food donations to the shows, where there will be collection points across the venue each night. There will also be collection buckets for any cash donations. All donations will be distributed to people facing hardship across the 1,400 food bank centres in the Trussell network.
Additionally, £1 from the sale of every ticket will be going to support grassroots music venues, artists and promoters.
This week Music Venue Trust, the charity that supports hundreds of UK grassroots music venues, has announced that Tilbrook has become a patron. “The grassroots is where it all starts for so many musicians and where local communities can access affordable and exciting live music. We need to protect these venues and nurture the artists so that our great culture can thrive for generations to come” he said.
Squeeze’s new album ‘Trixies’ will be released on Friday 6th March 6 2026.
