The Shires announce November 2026 UK tour!
Country duo The Shires – Ben Earle and Crissie Rhodes – have announced their first full band UK tour in four years.
The 12-date headline tour will feature the duo performing both fan favourites and new songs from their joyous new album, Bonfire, which celebrates togetherness, escapism, and positivity.
Kicking things off at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall on Tuesday 3rd November, the tour will then head to venues across the UK, with stops in Gateshead, York, Manchester, Birmingham, London, Brighton, Ipswich, Poole, Swansea, Liverpool, Bedford and Bristol.
They will be joined by very special guest Kaylee Bell.
Tickets are on sale now.
Ahead of their time in many ways, Ben and Crissie not only paved the way for subsequent British country artists but also previewed the current golden age in popularity of country music in the UK. They have maintained an enviable reputation at the forefront of the genre and couldn’t be happier to be back with new music to share.
