The tour will span 13 UK dates across major arenas. It starts on June 1, 2026 at the Brighton Centre and ends on June 20, 2026 at the bp pulse LIVE Arena in Birmingham.
Joining the bill as special guests are fellow reggae heavyweights Maxi Priest and Aswad, making it arguably the UK’s biggest reggae tour of next year.
The band have promised fans a mix of their timeless classics alongside fresh tracks from their upcoming studio album, due in spring 2026, making this a celebration of both their legacy and the next chapter.
The band recorded a new album earlier this year, and they’ve stuck to their Birmingham roots.
Jimmy said they recorded the album ‘about 100 yards from where we’ve always recorded in Digbeth’.
The title and artwork is yet to be announced.
He also confessed that the band were once asked to record a Bond theme: “We were asked before to do that [a song], we did it but we didn’t deliver it in time.”
They said they also know Stephen Knight, the Peaky Blinders director and creator, who is working on the new Bond film: “We’ve got to know Steven Knight quite well, the writer of Peaky Blinders. He’s bought a lot of property, sort of old warehouses at the back of Digbeth.”
“We will have a little word [about a Bond song] – we’ll take him out and get him drunk,” he joked.
