Fresh off a run of sold-out arena shows across Australia and New Zealand, multi-platinum rock titans Good Charlotte have announced their Motel Du Cap EU + UK Tour! Bringing their long-awaited world tour to Europe and the UK this November, the tour kicks off in Stockholm on Sunday 8th November, with stops in Germany, Denmark, Belgium, the Netherlands and Paris, before concluding in the UK with shows in London at the O2 Arena and at Manchester’s Co-op Live. Yellowcard will join as support, and tickets go on general sale on Friday 29th May at 10am local time here.

Together with The Great Frog, Good Charlotte also today unveil a new collaboration with the cult British jewellery house and Painted Flowers, the Los Angeles and Tokyo–based creative collective founded by the Madden Brothers, in collaboration with Tadaaki Wakamatsu. The capsule comprising of a handcrafted silver ring and long sleeve T-shirt launches today, and can be found here. Arriving at the same moment as the band step into this next chapter, the limited capsule brings together three distinct creative worlds – uniting music, design and visual identity through a shared language of craft, symbolism and subcultural influence.
This weekend sees Good Charlotte close out Slam Dunk Festival, headlining the main stage! Slam Dunk is the UK’s biggest independent pop/punk, rock and alternative festival, and 2026 marks its twentieth anniversary which is set to be their biggest yet! Therefore, it’s very fitting that Good Charlotte, a band who are instrumental in helping shape the pop/punk scene in the early 2000s, are to play the coveted headline set. These will be the first live shows that the four-piece have played in the UK since 2019, making Slam Dunk a highly sought-after event and absolutely not to be missed.
2026 has proved to be a triumphant year for Good Charlotte so far. Alongside the exciting aforementioned announcements, the band recently wrapped up their huge sold out Australian & New Zealand tour kicking off the Motel Du Cap World Tour! This Summer sees them head out on the road with Avenged Sevenfold around North America, with the dates culminating in LA at the BMO Stadium, with A Day To Remember joining them both.
Released last August, Motel Du Cap is Good Charlotte’s eighth studio album and their first in seven years. Written by Benji and Joel Madden, alongside Mattias Bylund, and produced by Zakk Cervini and Jordan Fish, Motel Du Cap marks the band’s return to their roots while pushing their sound into uncharted territory. The album blends jagged riffs, introspective lyrics, and a defiant spirit.
Their electrifying return was marked by the album’s lead single Rejects, which they performed live on Jimmy Kimmel, followed by Stepper. On album release day, Good Charlotte made their live debut of I Don’t Work Here Anymore on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, which can be seen here. They also performed on Good Morning America Summer Concert Series (watch here), followed by a performance at LIV Golf Chicago.
