Deacon Blue

Few bands capture the heart quite like Deacon Blue. The beloved Scottish rock icons — known for timeless anthems such as 'Real Gone Kid', 'Dignity', and 'Chocolate Girl' — return in 2026 with a series of unmissable live dates set against some of the most spectacular venues in the UK. From lush woodland glades to ancient stone courtyards, these performances promise to be as breathtaking as the music itself. The tour takes in three extraordinary locations across the summer. Kick things off on Thursday 25th June at Westonbirt Arboretum, one of England's finest woodland settings, where sweeping trees and open skies provide a magical natural backdrop. Then on Saturday 4th July, the band heads to the Llangollen Pavilion in the heart of north Wales, a venue steeped in cultural heritage and surrounded by stunning river valley scenery. The tour culminates on Wednesday 8th July at The Piece Hall in Halifax — one of Britain's most stunning Georgian courtyards — delivering a grand finale in a truly iconic setting. With Ricky Ross and Lorraine McIntosh at the helm, Deacon Blue deliver every performance with warmth, soulful passion, and an infectious energy that unites generations of fans. Whether you're a lifelong devotee or discovering their music for the first time, these summer concerts are set to be among the most memorable live music experiences of 2026. Gather your friends, soak in the atmosphere, and sing along to three decades of unforgettable songs under the open sky.
