Alestorm Announce 2027 UK and Ireland Tour

Alestorm have announced a substantial UK and Ireland headline tour for January 2027, with Finnish heavy metal group Battle Beast and symphonic extreme-metal outfit Wizardthrone joining as support.

The 15-date run begins in Cardiff on January 14 before moving through Birmingham, Bristol and Bournemouth. After a day off, the tour heads north for shows in Newcastle, Leeds, Manchester and Norwich, followed by dates in Dundee and Glasgow.

The January run covers 15 cities, with Battle Beast and Wizardthrone joining Alestorm throughout the tour.

The final stretch crosses the Irish Sea for Belfast and Dublin before returning to England for Nottingham, Oxford and a closing London show at the O2 Forum Kentish Town on January 30.

The full routing is:

14 January - Cardiff
15 January - Birmingham
16 January - Bristol
17 January - Bournemouth
19 January - Newcastle
20 January - Leeds
21 January - Manchester
22 January - Norwich
23 January - Dundee
24 January - Glasgow
26 January - Belfast
27 January - Dublin
28 January - Nottingham
29 January - Oxford
30 January - London

Battle Beast will bring their polished mix of traditional heavy metal, power metal and arena-sized hooks to the package. Wizardthrone, meanwhile, add a more chaotic and theatrical strain of extreme metal to the bill.

The tour follows Alestorm’s continuing international festival and headline schedule and gives the band one of its broadest UK and Ireland routings in recent years. Ticket information and individual venue details are expected through the band and local promoters.
