Multimillion selling global star Rick Astley has announced a major UK and Ireland arena tour for April 2026. Kicking things off at Glasgow OVO Hydro on 10th April, Rick will perform twelve dates culminating with a huge headline show at London’s The O2 on 25th April. Rick will also be joined by very special guest Gabrielle.
Rick Astley’s has had a remarkable career. Way back in 1987, he became an unlikely global phenomenon as his era-defining smash ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’ established him as an international chart-topping, BRIT Award winning global star . His debut album, ‘Whenever You Need Somebody’, sold 15.2m copies worldwide and made him a household name. Rick has gone on to release eight studio albums, selling over 40 million records worldwide, and has played and toured around the world multiple times.
After taking a break in 2025, Rick is excited to head out on his UK and Ireland arena tour next year and is looking forward to performing live again.
On 9th October, Rick will also release the paperback edition of his Top 10 Sunday Times Bestseller autobiography Never published by Macmillan. Never is his first and only official autobiography. Balancing nostalgia, fresh perspectives and introspection, with a good dose of northern humour, Never is an intimate look at the man behind the hits – and is a portrait of truth, artistic evolution and the astounding power of contentment.
