After huge recent tours from Coldplay, Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter and the long-awaited Oasis comeback, anticipation for what’s next is at an all-time high.

Who will be headlining Glastonbury in 2027? Who will be on a must-see farewell tour? If you’re thinking far ahead like us, then here’s your ultimate guide to the biggest rumoured tours for 2027 in the UK.
Justin Bieber
Following his headline-grabbing performance at Coachella 2026, the “Bieber Fever” that once defined a generation has returned with a mature, artistic edge. His “stripped-back” Coachella set, which showcased hits from his 2025 surprise double-album release, Swag and Swag II, proved that Justin is back at his creative peak. After a period of focusing on his health and family, including the birth of his son Jack Blues, the global icon seems to have found a second wind. Industry insiders are already whispering that the Coachella show was merely a “soft launch” for a massive global comeback, with 2027 pinpointed as the year he officially returns to the touring circuit.
The rumours for a 2027 Justin Bieber UK tour are intensifying, with fans speculating about a multi-night residency at The O2 or a landmark run at Wembley Stadium. Having not performed a full tour in the UK since the 2022 cancellation of the Justice World Tour, the pent-up demand is unprecedented. Whether he takes a headline slot at Glastonbury 2027 or opts for his own stadium-sized production, any announcement is expected to trigger a ticket frenzy. If the record-breaking 24 million streams he clocked the day after Coachella are anything to go by, Justin’s 2027 return will be one of the most significant musical events of the decade.
Coldplay
Coldplay’s recent stadium tours have smashed records worldwide, with immersive visuals, LED wristbands, and sustainability-led production becoming their signature. Their Wembley and Manchester concerts were among the fastest-selling shows in UK history, attracting fans from across Europe.
At their penultimate Wembley show on September 6, Chris Martin hinted that the Music of the Spheres era is far from finished, telling the crowd the tour still has “another 138 shows to go.” The remark instantly reignited speculation that Coldplay could extend into 2027 with even more major stadium dates. Looking ahead, insiders believe the band may be preparing the final chapter of the project, a move that would naturally align with another UK run. If Coldplay do return in 2027, expect huge demand and another round of record-breaking shows.
Oasis
Oasis’ 2025 comeback tour was nothing short of historic. Fans waited decades to see the Gallagher brothers reunite, and their return delivered sold-out nights, emotional sing-alongs and a new wave of nostalgia-fuelled excitement. With hype around the band still sky-high, speculation is growing that the reunion may continue into 2027.
Rumours suggest more stadium dates could be added, with iconic venues like Knebworth, Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium and Co-op Live among the likely contenders. Fan forums and industry insiders are also whispering about the possibility of new music, something that would almost certainly trigger a massive touring cycle. If you missed out on tickets last time, 2027 could be another chance.
Who will headline Glastonbury Festival 2027?
Although the official Glastonbury Festival 2027 lineup is still some way off, speculation is already intensifying around who could headline the iconic Pyramid Stage when the festival returns after its traditional fallow year in 2026. One of the most talked-about names in the mix is Harry Styles, who remains a favourite among fans and industry insiders alike following his hugely successful solo career and reputation as a standout live performer. Another artist generating serious buzz is Olivia Dean, whose rapid rise and critically acclaimed performances have seen her tipped as a future Glastonbury mainstay, potentially stepping into headline territory by 2027.
There is also growing excitement around the possibility of Oasis making a historic return to Worthy Farm, with reunion rumours continuing to dominate headlines and fuel festival speculation. Meanwhile, Sam Fender is widely viewed as one of the UK’s strongest contemporary festival acts, having already delivered several landmark headline-level performances across major UK events. Global megastars are firmly part of the conversation too, with Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift both frequently linked with future Glastonbury appearances thanks to their unparalleled touring success and cross-generational appeal.
Rounding out the rumour mill are rock icons Foo Fighters, who have a long-standing relationship with Glastonbury and remain a popular choice among fans for a triumphant return to the Pyramid Stage. While none of these names are confirmed, the sheer calibre of artists being linked to Glastonbury Festival 2027 underlines just how significant the year could be, shaping up to be one of the most hotly anticipated editions in the festival’s history.

Music Event Diary
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift’s recent UK appearances have been some of the most significant moments in modern pop touring history. Her eight-night residency at Wembley Stadium set a new record for the venue, cementing her status as one of the biggest artists on the planet. With her ability to dominate charts and social platforms simultaneously, any hint of new music instantly sparks global speculation.
Many expect that Swift’s next creative chapter may arrive before 2027, and historically, each album cycle has been closely followed by world touring. The success of the Eras Tour in London and Edinburgh makes a return almost inevitable, with some predicting expanded production or a thematic shift that could anchor a brand-new stadium run.
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran is already deep into one of the biggest tours of his career. The Loop Tour, in support of his eighth studio album Play, kicked off in Auckland in January 2026 and runs through to December, taking in Oceania, North America and Latin America along the way.
What it has not done yet is come home. With no UK dates on the current run, fans are hoping a European and UK leg follows in 2027, with another Wembley homecoming top of the wishlist given his record-breaking history at the stadium. Nothing has been confirmed by Ed himself, but with the Loop Tour wrapping at the end of 2026, the timing for a 2027 UK return looks very promising.
Beyoncé
Beyoncé has consistently redefined what stadium touring looks like, with the Cowboy Carter tour raising the bar for production, choreography and visual artistry. Her ability to dominate every stage she steps onto keeps demand for her live shows incredibly high.
Industry rumours suggest Beyoncé may be working on new music and planning a follow-up tour, making 2027 a strong possibility for a UK return. Wembley Stadium, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Cardiff’s Principality Stadium are expected to be the first venues considered. If she returns to the UK, expect a show that pushes creative boundaries yet again, potentially featuring new choreography, expanded visuals and a bold evolution of her sound.
U2
U2 continue to tease fans with talk of new music and potential tour dates, especially after high-profile performances and interviews hinting at a renewed desire to reconnect with European audiences. Their Sphere residency in Las Vegas proved they can still innovate at the highest level.
If they tour in 2027, the focus may be on reconnecting with European crowds, especially after hints from band members about new material. A return to traditional stadiums would give fans a more intimate contrast to their high-tech Vegas shows, while older hits may receive updated arrangements that reflect the band’s current artistic vision. Bassist Adam Clayton has suggested that a tour in 2026 or 2027 is likely, depending on the progress of their next album.
Olivia Rodrigo
We had Olivia Rodrigo down as one of our most likely rumoured acts for 2027, and we called it. The three-time GRAMMY Award-winning superstar is bringing The Unraveled Tour to London’s O2 Arena for a UK-exclusive residency, and demand has been so fierce that the original four nights have grown into an 11-show run spanning April into early May 2027.
The dates land on 5, 6, 8, 9, 12, 14, 15, 19 and 20 April, plus 9 and 10 May, with Grace Ives along as support. It is the natural next step for an artist who has gone from rising star to global powerhouse in just a few years, following her standout Glastonbury set and the runaway success of the GUTS world tour.
The residency backs her third studio album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, released on 12 June 2026. Lead single drop dead debuted at No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100, making Rodrigo the first artist to send the lead single from every one of her studio albums straight to the top. Expect one of the most talked-about runs of the year, and book early if you want in.
Gracie Abrams
One of the most exciting confirmed names for 2027 is Gracie Abrams, who brings The Look At My Life Tour to the UK next spring. The GRAMMY-nominated singer-songwriter has lined up nine arena shows across three cities, a clear sign of just how fast her star has risen.
She plays three nights at Manchester’s Co-op Live on 22, 24 and 25 April, two nights at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on 27 and 28 April, then a four-night finale at London’s O2 on 30 April and 1, 3 and 4 May. Samia and Jake Minch join as support across the European and UK leg.
The tour celebrates her third studio album, Daughter From Hell, released on 17 July 2026 and led by the single Hit The Wall. After the breakout success of The Secret of Us and her chart-topping Taylor Swift collaboration us., expect emotional, sing-every-word arena nights. These are some of the most in-demand pop tickets of the year, so move quickly.
Muse
Muse are back with their tenth album, The Wow! Signal, released on 26 June 2026, and a tour built around the band’s trademark sci-fi spectacle. Their confirmed UK arena dates land this autumn, with two nights at Manchester’s Co-op Live on 12 and 13 November and two nights at London’s O2 on 15 and 16 November 2026, before the run continues across Europe.
The reason Muse make our 2027 list is what comes next. Frontman Matt Bellamy has spoken about a much bigger plan beyond these arena shows, describing a two-to-three year campaign that scales up to a very big outdoor tour in 2027 or 2028. For a band whose live show is engineered for the biggest stages going, a 2027 UK stadium return would be a serious prospect.
Catch them in the arenas this November, then keep your eyes peeled for stadium news. Few acts do scale quite like Muse.
Dua Lipa
Dua Lipa continues to rise as one of the UK’s most successful global artists. After dominating charts and festival stages in recent years, fans are expecting another new album cycle soon.
If new music arrives in 2026, a major 2027 arena or stadium tour is almost certain. Venues like The O2, Co-op Live and Wembley Stadium would be natural fits. Her ability to blend choreography, visuals and crowd energy makes her tours major cultural moments.
Final Thoughts: Who Will Dominate 2027?
While nothing is confirmed yet, 2027 is already shaping up to be one of the most exciting years in live music. From iconic reunions to global megastars and potential new album cycles, the stage is set for another unforgettable year of concerts across the UK.
