Mogwai - World Tour 2026

With support from FOREST SWORDS

Mogwai today announce a UK tour for February 2026, taking in 11 dates, starting at Paisley Town Hall on 12 February and running through to O2 Apollo in Manchester on 27 February. The shows follow this summer's headline performance at South Facing Festival in London, and the band's current, ongoing European tour. Fans can sign up for pre-sale access for the new shows, ahead of tickets going on general sale at 10am Friday 19 September. Dates are below; see www.mogwai.scot for details.

The tour will see Mogwai performing songs from across their 30 year-spanning discography, including their 11th studio album The Bad Fire, released earlier this year to considerable critical acclaim. Produced by John Congleton (St Vincent, Angel Olsen, John Grant) at Chem 19 studios in Blantyre, Scotland, the album features the singles "Lion Rumpus", "God Gets You Back" and "Fanzine Made Of Flesh".

Purchase The Bad Fire
A Scottish colloquialism for Hell, The Bad Fire draws inspiration from a series of tough personal moments that the band found themselves in following on from their chart-topping tenth album, 2021's As The Love Continues. The band continued to work through this, leading to the creation of The Bad Fire: a collection of songs that forgo nostalgia and easy victories, once again finding Mogwai pushing forward with some of the most beautiful and explosive songs of their career. It is a record that retains Mogwai's power whilst delving into fresh new territory for the band.
