News: Blue Announce New Album ‘Reflections’ To Be Released On January 9th 2026 & World Tour
2 min read
The Blue boys are back in town! Simon Webbe, Duncan James, Antony Costa and Lee Ryan are ready to make new memories with the news that they will release their all-new studio album ‘Reflections’ on January 9th 2026 – the first taste of which comes with lead single ‘One Last Time’. And they will be back in a town near you, too, with the confirmation of a world tour including an extensive UK leg in April 2026. Listen HERE.
Blue are firmly established as one of Britain’s biggest pop forces of the 21st century. Just look at their catalogue: the iconic mega hits ‘All Rise’ and ‘One Love’, three #1 smashes in the shape of ‘Too Close’, ‘If You Come Back’ and ‘Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word’ (with Elton John) PLUS another six Top 10 singles. Their first three albums all accelerated to #1 and, combined with their ‘Best Of’, have amassed a remarkable 12 x Platinum certifications in the UK alone. The two-time BRIT Award winners (British Pop Act and British Breakthrough Act) also enjoyed success right across Europe as well as Australia, Japan and New Zealand.
Yet Blue are hungry for more, and are eager to add more to their phenomenal success with ‘Reflections’. The pop princes now share a first listen as to what to expect with the single ‘One Last Time’. It’s a song which captures the mega hooks and towering vocals of their biggest hits, but this time with the exhilarating rush of a punchy new pop-rock style. The combination of sorrowful lyrics and uplifting music reflects a universal truth: it’s natural to grieve the end of something special, but in time you’ll again appreciate what you once had.
‘Reflections’ is now available to pre-order here with exclusive CDs and coloured LPs on the band’s store, HMV and Amazon. The album is available to pre-save on all major digital platforms.
Fans who pre-order the album from Blue’s official store will receive access to a ticket pre-sale which opens at 10am next Tuesday, September 9th. Remaining tickets will then go on general sale from 10am on Friday, September 12th.
