Two Door Cinema Club have announced their first UK and Ireland headline tour in more than seven years. The tour will mark the 15th anniversary of their debut album “Tourist History” with a five‑date arena run early next year, featuring sets that span their entire career.
“It has been over seven years since we last toured the UK and Ireland,” the indie trio said. “Each city on this itinerary holds a special place in our hearts. We’ve played almost every venue there, and now it’s time for the bigger ones. We can’t wait.”
The run begins at Dublin’s 3Arena on 23 January, then moves to Belfast’s SSE Arena, Glasgow’s OVO Hydro, Manchester’s AO Arena, and concludes at London’s O2 on 28 January.
Several guest acts will join the band: The Royston Club will perform in Dublin and Belfast, while Circa Waves and Arkayla will appear in Glasgow, Manchester, and London.
Fan presales open this Wednesday (1 July) at 9 am BST, with general sales starting Friday (3 July). The full list of dates and ticketing information is available below.
Two Door Cinema Club’s UK and Ireland 2027 tour dates are:
January:
23 – 3Arena, Dublin, Ireland
24 – SSE Arena, Belfast, Northern Ireland
26 – OVO Hydro, Glasgow, Scotland
27 – AO Arena, Manchester, UK

The band will also perform 15th‑anniversary shows at Cardiff Castle and New York’s Madison Square Garden later this year, and they’ll headline major festivals such as the Isle of Wight, Kendall Calling, Truck Festival, Y Not Festival, and TRNSMT.
“Tourist History” topped the Irish chart and earned a spot on the BBC’s coveted “Sound of” poll in 2010. The album remains a fan favourite, with hits like “What You Know” and “I Can Talk” continuing to energise crowds.
In an interview with NME in 2024, bassist Kevin Baird reflected on the band’s early days: “When we formed, we looked up to bands like Bloc Party and Foals, but by the time we released ‘Tourist History’ we didn’t feel part of a scene. We set out to do our own thing and kept the pressure averted.”
They have released five studio albums to date, with the latest being 2022’s “Keep On Smiling.” Recent singles include “Sure Enough” (2023) and “Happy Customers” (2024).
