Is Deacon Blue touring in 2027?

Yes, Deacon Blue are touring in 2027 with the Raintown 40th Anniversary Tour. They are a Scottish band, and Raintown was their first album, released in 1987. The tour was announced as fifteen shows in fifteen cities. Demand then added a second night at Eventim Apollo in London and two more at OVO Hydro, the Halloween show last of all.

Spain gets the same tour first, from A Coruña on Wednesday 15 September to Barcelona on Sunday 26 September.

What are the Deacon Blue tour 2027 dates?

The Deacon Blue tour 2027 dates run through October, with London on two nights and Glasgow on three. The table shows Ticketmaster’s status and time in late October 2026, or the venue’s own time where it gives one. Low availability is the seller’s label for a night with fewer tickets to choose from.

What time do Deacon Blue start?

Deacon Blue start at 7.30pm at Utilita Arena Birmingham, according to the arena’s page on 31 October 2026. Doors there open at 6pm. Doors is when the building opens, and it is what the other times in the table usually mean. OVO Hydro lists event times as to be announced, so look at your venue’s page in the week of the show.

What will Deacon Blue play on the Raintown tour?

Deacon Blue will play Raintown from start to finish each night, followed by a second set of songs from across their career, the band’s website says. Venue pages name Dignity, When Will You (Make My Telephone Ring) and Chocolate Girl among the classics. Their last album, The Great Western Road, reached No.3 in the UK chart, according to Eventim Apollo.

No running order beyond that has been published, so treat any set list you see online as guesswork.

Who is supporting Deacon Blue on tour?

No support act for Deacon Blue appears on the band’s website or on the OVO Hydro, Eventim Apollo, P&J Live or Utilita Arena Birmingham pages as of 31 October 2026. A support act is the band who play first. Look again closer to the night.

How do you buy Deacon Blue tickets?

You buy Deacon Blue tickets from Ticketmaster, which sells every date, and you no longer need a code. Presales, early sales for smaller groups, began at 10am on Wednesday 16 September 2026. General sale, open to everyone, followed at 10am on Friday 18 September, and a week later for the third Glasgow night.

1. Find your night, then start from the band’s Tour page or your venue’s page.
2. Use the right site. Belfast and Dublin are on Ticketmaster’s Irish site. AXS also sells Birmingham and Aberdeen.
3. Read the listing title. The concert itself is called Raintown 40th Anniversary Tour. Other listings are extras.
4. Compare the total. Birmingham and Aberdeen quote their prices before fees.

Buying with friends? At OVO Hydro, each person can buy six tickets at most.

How much are Deacon Blue tickets?

Deacon Blue tickets cost from £32.50 plus fees at Utilita Arena Birmingham, according to the arena’s page on 31 October 2026. Prices differ by city, and Ticketmaster shows the others when you pick your seats.

What are the premium and merch listings?

Premium listings are extras sold beside the standard ticket, each with its own availability. Ticketmaster shows Venue Premium Tickets for Leeds, Hull, Newcastle, Aberdeen and Glasgow, and Belfast has a Share a Suite listing.

The Merch Bundle Upgrade is different. Its title says No Ticket Included, so it is an add-on for people who already have a ticket.

Is premium worth it? It suits a group marking a special night. If Raintown is all you came for, a standard seat gives you the same show.

Which Deacon Blue date should you choose?

The best Deacon Blue date is your nearest night that is still on sale, but seven nights were on low availability in late October. These notes help:

• London: Monday 25 October is sold out, so Sunday 24 October is the Eventim Apollo night to book.
• Glasgow: Friday 29 October is the tight one. Saturday 30 and Sunday 31 October are on sale, and the Sunday falls on Halloween.
• North-east Scotland: Aberdeen is on low availability, and Glasgow’s weekend nights are the next choice.
• North of England: if Leeds or Newcastle go, Hull on Tuesday 12 October and Nottingham the next night are both on sale. Leeds fans can read the First Direct Arena seating plan and see its other shows on First Direct Arena tickets.

Can children and disabled fans go to Deacon Blue concerts?

Children can go to Deacon Blue concerts, but some arenas keep out younger children. Read your arena’s rule before you buy:

For other nights, check the venue’s page. At Eventim Apollo, the stalls, the ground-floor area, are step-free and have two accessible platforms. The circle, the upper level, has no lift and a long climb of stairs. At OVO Hydro, most seats on Levels 2 and 3 are reached by stairs only. At Birmingham, choose the Accessible Tickets tile when you book.

How do you get to the Deacon Blue arenas?

Most Deacon Blue arenas are a short walk, train or tram ride from the city centre, but Aberdeen and Bournemouth take more planning.

What Deacon Blue ticket mistakes should you avoid?

The easiest Deacon Blue ticket mistake is buying the Merch Bundle Upgrade and thinking it gets you in. Watch for these too:

• Mixing up the two O2s. The O2 Belfast used to be the SSE Arena. It has nothing to do with The O2 in London.
• Treating Aberdeen as a city-centre show. P&J Live is out by the airport, so plan your way home.
• Booking for a young child. Glasgow and Aberdeen are for over-8s only.

What if your Deacon Blue night sells out?

If your Deacon Blue night sells out, start with Ticketmaster’s own resale, where fans list tickets they cannot use at no more than the price they paid. Other resale listings for each night, priced by their sellers, are on the Deacon Blue dates page.

What to do now (as of 31 October 2026)

As of 31 October 2026, Monday 25 October in London is the only Deacon Blue night sold out, and every other date can still be bought.

1. Want a low-availability night? Book it soon if you are set on that city.
2. Flexible on the city? Hull, Nottingham and Utilita Arena Birmingham were all on plain general sale.
