Rick Astley Tour Dates 2026
The essentials: Rick Astley is back on the road in spring 2026 for his “Reflection” UK and Ireland arena tour, and there’s something especially exciting about this run after he spent 2025 offstage. It kicks off April 10 in Glasgow and wraps up April 25 in London, with plenty of stops in between—think massive arenas, heaps of sing-alongs, and (let’s be honest) a little bit of nostalgia for good measure.
There's a kind of electricity in the air whenever Rick's name pops up for a live tour, especially for longtime fans who remember dancing in their living rooms to "Never Gonna Give You Up." I’ll never forget my dad, usually stoic as a rock, belting along in the car to “Together Forever,” as if it were an Olympic event.
These nights tend to be equal parts music and memory lane, with Rick’s eternally youthful energy proving catching. And—shoutout to fans of ‘90s soul—Gabrielle is along as the special guest at every show, which is a killer combo.
Below is a breezy, informal list of the 2026 tour dates to help you plot, dream, or nudge a friend who desperately needs a night out:

I love that he’s going big with these venues—it feels like a celebration, almost defiant, especially after the live-music world’s unpredictabilities the last few years.
