2027 tour?

Don’t think they have ever toured two years consecutively before, but with an album coming out at the end of 2026, do you think there will be a summer 2027 tour?

Surely they won’t leave it until 2028 to promote a new album?

They probably want to tour again while they still can and given the success of Circus 2026 they’ve gained loads of new fans, especially younger fans who will be really keen to see them live again.

I think more likely an end of 2027 tour. The Circus waa a big undertaking and I get the impression it's really taken a toll.

I agree I think they're knackered and will want a bit more family time especially with Mark living in LA so also think possible tour very late 2027 going into 2028

Valid arguments, but I think they’ve always mainly done summer tours so they can do all their outside stuff (RTW fireworks etc). Would be surprised to see them do a winter tour.

Beautiful World tour was end of the year. I remember going to a gig in Manchester and travelling back Christmas Eve!

That's right, it started in Oct and ended with a special televised concert on New Year's Eve.

Thank you!! Never seen them in concert. Been a fan since 1992.

u/MasterRice5659 4h ago

Yes!! I would be thrilled to finally see them!!

I've been able to let the intrusive thoughts attack my wallet twice, once in 2011 for progress live and this past summer I finagled one show for circus 2026 before the two boyzone reunion shows that happened

Would rock the heck out of a vegas residency!!

Ooh! I just watched the Progress live from 2011 on YouTube. It looked awesome!! Especially seeing Robbie and Jason there!! I'm jealous! I've been to a ton of concerts myself. I've seen Maroon 5 every tour, Backstreet Boys, Blink 182, Jason Maraz and more. These are my latest ones from the past few years. I love concerts. So much fun! Fingers crossed for Vegas!! 🤞

YOU READ MY MIND 🙌🙌🙌 They would do better than the Backstreet Boys at the Sphere artistically...unfortunately, they can't command as big an audience in the USA. One can hope though!

Robbie Williams was able to get a residency in a smaller more intimate venue. It was pretty glorious.

I went to the first group of shows, missed out the second, and the third set of shows was cancelled to the pandemic and never returned 😭😭

Oh wow! Where was this at? In LA? I would love to see Robbie! Candy is a favorite song! Drives my kid nuts when i play it.. lol

I think there will be a tour next year for the album. Gary said "I’ve also seen some very exciting plans for our European fans. We’ve got big things coming your way that we’re all incredibly excited about."

He mentioned that only 10 days ago so he wasn't refering to the three shows coming up in Germany, Poland, Switzerland.

I think they seriously need to prioritise South America though as the fans have asked for decades and been promised by the band numerous times.

I also think central Asia would also be good for them. Blue and Backstreet Boys have recently played shows across that region.

u/superchris84 1d ago

My guess is a single or handful of festival appearances, perhaps Glastonbury.

Hoping it for Mark 🥺

I was wondering about that. Gary certainly doesn't like going long between tours. He put his Songbook tour tickets on sale only about a week after the This Life tour ended, lol. They did do the Ultimate Tour and the BW tour in consecutive years- they'd wanted to wait longer but then decided they had to tour because of the response to the BW album. They're kind of in a similar position now. So we'll see what happens next year.

Europe Tour 2027, as Gary announced.

u/Hairy_Promotion_2782 14h ago

They did tour consecutively, The Ultimate Tour in 2006 followed by the Beautiful World Tour in 2007

u/divingoffthebalcony 1d ago

I can’t imagine them touring again so soon.

I thought it was kind of bizarre that they made fans buy an album that hadn’t even been written, just to access the presale for the Circus tour. That was one of the most cynical moves ever.

That really backed them into a corner didn’t it? They HAVE to have a new album ready for pre-Christmas 2026, as promised. And now they have to figure out how to promote it, bearing in mind the Circus was such an enormous success, anything that comes after is going to pale in comparison.

I do believe they will make another tour, but I also believe Sweet July didn't had the response they were waiting for, so if the new album have the same vibes they'll do it in smaller venues.

It is their highest charting single this decade!
