Well, just as the stars are aligning for some cosmic mischief, Richard Ashcroft—fresh off crushing it with Oasis on their sell-out reunion tour—has stirred up something special for us all. The Verve’s frontman is hitting the UK with a string of solo gigs next year, including some intimate shows at London’s Alexandra Palace and Reading’s Englefield Estate. With his O2 Arena show already snapped up faster than a shooting star, the buzz around these smaller venues is nothing short of electric. So, if you fancy catching the ‘Bittersweet Symphony’ singer live beneath the summer sky, better get your presale registration in before Tuesday evening’s deadline.

Hot off the back of supporting Oasis on their sell-out reunion tour, Richard Ashcroft has announced a series of solo gigs of his own, taking place across the UK next year.
While his O2 Arena show has already sold out, the Verve frontman will be playing a series of smaller gigs at London’s Alexandra Palace and Englefield Estate in Reading – and if fan reaction is anything to go by, they’re set to be popular.
So if you want to catch the ‘Bittersweet Symphony’ singer live next summer, your best chance of securing a spot is to register for presale ticket access before the deadline arrives on Tuesday evening.

Fans have until 7pm on Tuesday September 30 to register for the Englefield Estate and Alexandra Palace presale. Both presales will then go live at 9.30am on Wednesday October 1, with general sale set to kick off on Friday October 3.
Richard Ashcroft has announced he’ll be playing the following dates across the UK, starting in November this year:
His first London date (28th March) has already sold out of standing tickets, so a second one has been added on 17th July at the iconic Alexandra Palace Park. Tickets for that gig go on sale this Friday 3rd October, and can be copped at Ticketmaster. Tickets will also be available via Seat Unique for dates on the tour.
Resale tickets for the first London date have already appeared on Ticketmaster, though at the time of writing they’re all seated tickets. Keep your eye out as more will likely be added.
The tour actually kicks off in November this year, though those early dates are already sold out.
If you miss out on the main sale, all isn’t yet lost. You can always check StubHub, Viagogo and Ticombo for tickets up for resale, often with people adding them right up until the day of the gig.
Of course, if you’re keen to see someone, it’s best to get in early – though steals are possible when you wait on resale tickets.
On the 24th July at Englefield, Ashcroft will be supported by Shed Seven, Tom Meighan, and The Kairos.
It isn’t confirmed who will join him for his other tour dates, but we’ll update you as soon as we know more.

It’s good news for fans also wanting new material as well as a live gig filled with classics.
The northern rocker is releasing his seventh studio LP, which goes live this Friday – just in time for the Ally Pally ticket release. His new LP, titled ‘Lovin’ You’, is likely going to influence some of the set list for his 2026 tour.
