BIG SPECIAL announce 2026 UK & EU headline tour — with their biggest show yet at London’s Roundhouse

Hold onto your socks — because BIG SPECIAL just dropped some massive news.

The West Midlands duo are heading out on a huge run of UK and European headline shows, kicking off in October 2025 and rolling all the way into early 2026. If that wasn’t enough to get your adrenaline pumping, they’ll be playing their biggest-ever headline show at the iconic Roundhouse in London. Big room, big energy, big feelings.

And wait — there’s more. They’re currently tearing it up on tour with the legendary Pixies, bringing their genre-defying chaos to some pretty huge venues across the UK and Europe.

BIG SPECIAL are riding high after releasing the deluxe edition of their critically-acclaimed debut album ‘POSTINDUSTRIAL HOMETOWN BLUES,’ which is out now on SO Recordings. It’s soulful, it’s gritty, it’s unapologetically loud — and it’s already being hailed as one of the standout debuts of the year. Listen to the deluxe edition of the album HERE.
