“This tour is going to be a complete blast." Big Big Train announce Woodcut European and UK tour dates for Autumn 2026

Prog rock septet Big Big Train have announced their The Woodcut & Other Stories European and UK tour dates for Autumn 2026.

The band, who will release their latest album, the conceptual Woodcut, through InsideOut Music on February 6, will perform 18 shows across the UK, Belgium, France, Germany, The Netherlands, Spain, Italy and Switzerland, starting at Milton Keynes' The Stables on Friday September 25 and culminating in a show at London's Shepherd's Bush Empire on Saturday Ovtober 17.

“We’re extremely proud of Woodcut and are really looking forward to bringing it to life on stage next autumn as well as exploring various corners of the band’s back catalogue, some of which will be more familiar to fans than others," says singer Alberto Bravin. "We're planning to play for over two hours each night and I can’t wait to get back on the road.”

“This tour is going to be a complete blast," adds drummer Nick D'Virgilio. "As well as the 8 UK shows, it will be great to get back to continental Europe for 10 shows, including performing in Spain and France for the first time, plus our debut indoor shows in Italy. Some of our very best shows recently have been in standing venues, so it will be fun to have two of these in the UK as well.”

Tickets for all shows (except France) go on sale at 10am UK time on Friday November 28. A pre-sale open to members of the band’s Passengers Club and 2026 Tour Patrons opens at 10am UK time on Wednesday November 26 for all shows except Birmingham, Verviers, Aschaffenburg, Pratteln, Glasgow and France.
