UK prog rockers Marillion have announced tour dates for the UK for September and early October 2026.

It's been a busy few weeks for the band, having sold out two shows at Italy's prestigious amphitheatre in Pompeii, where they will perform next July. The new tour kicks off at Portsmouth Guildhall on September 12 and concludes with two nights at Hammersmith's Eventim Apollo on October 1 and 2.

“We’ve always said that there’s nothing quite like playing live in the UK," says singer Steve Hogarth. "The sheer emotional energy at these shows is usually pretty extraordinary. I’d buy a ticket to watch the crowd, if I didn’t get to do it for free."

The news heightens anticipation that a new Marillion album is on the way at some point next year. The band are known to have been working in the studio on new material.

Tickets for the new dates go on sale Thursday 20 November at 10am. Support on all dates comes from Cornish prog rockers Haunt The Woods.
