Glenn Hughes has announced a US tour for 2026. The former Trapeze/Deep Purple/Hughes-Thrall/Black Sabbath/California Breed/Dead Daisies bassist and singer and current Black Country Communion frontman will begin a run of 25 shows at the Capistrano Coach House in San Juan, CA, on March 27, and wrap things up on May 10 at The Marquee in Tempe, AZ.

The new dates are in addition to Hughes's current UK tour, which begins this evening in Bristol, and a run of South American dates set for next month. Full dates below.

"Looking forward to seeing you on my next tour in Spring 2026," says Hughes. "A new show with good vibrations, to carry the message that 'music is the healer'. I'll see you down the front!"

Hughes's Chosen Years tour is in support of this year's Chosen album, which he says may be his last.

"I’m not going to retire, but making a solo album tears me up," he told Classic Rock earlier this year. "They’re so personal, they just do a number on me. I can’t make plans. If I make plans, God goes: “No way, pal, we’re not going to do that”. If Chosen is the last album I make, it’s an epic way to finish. But then again, you never know with me."
