How to get Deacon Blue tickets
UK tour dates 2026/27
The tour moves quickly, with 17 shows in under four weeks. It starts in Belfast, crosses to Liverpool and Leeds for the first weekend, then works through Hull, Nottingham and Newcastle midweek. Cardiff and Brighton make up the second weekend, Bournemouth and Birmingham follow midweek, then come Co-op Live in Manchester on Friday 22 October and the two Eventim Apollo nights on Sunday 24 and Monday 25 October. P&J Live in Aberdeen on Wednesday 27 October leads into the Glasgow finale. Start times on the listings range from 6pm to 7pm.
Most venues are arenas, with a few exceptions. The Eventim Apollo in Hammersmith is a two-level hall with stalls and a circle, and the circle has no lift, only several flights of steps. The Brighton Centre on the seafront is sold in stalls areas, and the BIC in Bournemouth holds its big concerts in the Windsor Hall.
Some journeys need planning. P&J Live is not in central Aberdeen but by the airport at Dyce, about six miles from the city centre, served by buses and by Dyce station. The O2 Belfast sits in the Titanic Quarter, a short walk from the city centre over the Queen Elizabeth Bridge; Motorpoint Arena Nottingham, part of the National Ice Centre, is five minutes on foot from the Lace Market tram stop; and OVO Hydro has its own station, Exhibition Centre, three minutes by train from Glasgow Central.
Prices by venue and section
Across the arenas, tiered seats usually open the resale range and the floor sits higher. That is the pattern in Belfast, Liverpool, Cardiff, Birmingham and Manchester, and in Leeds, where the middle tier of the first direct bank arena opens the listings. Hull's Connexin Live has the widest spread, from Level 3 seats at the bottom to the floor at the top.
In Glasgow, seats on Levels 2 and 3 open the range on each of the three nights, with standing and the lower tier priced above them. At the Eventim Apollo, stalls seating comes first, and the sold-out Monday also has rear circle listings. In Brighton, plain Stalls listings come in below Raised Stalls and Front Stalls, with South Stalls at the top.
Across all 17 dates, the lowest resale listing is £69.
Resale prices are chosen by the sellers and can be above face value, and Hellotickets displays the full price before payment. Co-op Live, the Manchester venue, backs just one resale route, Ticketmaster Ticket Exchange, where tickets go for face value or less.
How tickets are sold
Ticketmaster UK is the official seller for the whole tour. Presales came first, listed as Priority from O2, Artist Presale, Promoter Presale, Live Nation Presale and Venue Presale. The general sale then opened date by date between 18 and 25 September 2026, the earliest at 10am UK time.
At the check on 31 October, the Monday at the Eventim Apollo was sold out, with no standard tickets left. Leeds, Cardiff, Brighton, Bournemouth, Aberdeen and the Friday in Glasgow were marked low availability, and the other dates were on sale. Newcastle, earlier flagged as low availability, was on sale again at the check on 2 November.
Ticketmaster lists the tour's dates in October 2027 only, so a Deacon Blue listing dated October 2026 does not match an official show.
Where a date is still on sale, face value at Ticketmaster UK is the price to beat, and resale is mainly useful for the sold-out Apollo night or for a section that has gone. Our Deacon Blue tour 2027 guide follows the tour in more detail.
