Multiplatinum rock band Barenaked Ladies today announce a 2026 UK Tour – Yuletide Ride – the band’s first UK tour dates since 2023. The festive eight date tour runs across December 2026. Joining Barenaked Ladies in the UK will be their friend and touring colleague, Boothby Graffoe.
Over the past 38 years, Barenaked Ladies have established themselves as a much loved live tour de force – consistently selling out tours across the globe. Hit singles, virtuoso musicianship and a unique and special bond with their audience make an evening with Barenaked Ladies something very special indeed.
Yuletide Ride follows the format of the bands sold out 2022 Canadian tour – where the band played festival favourites from their much loved 2014 Christmas album “Barenaked For The Holidays” alongside their staple of hits including “One Week”, “If I Had a $1,000,000”, “Pinch Me” and “Big Bang Theory Theme”. “Barenaked For The Holidays” features cover versions of classic Christmas songs alongside originals such as “Green Christmas” (from The Grinch film) and “Elf’s Lament” (featuring a – at the time – relatively unknown Michael Bublé!).
Yuletide Ride will be a night to relax, smile and enjoy a night of unbridled joy. YULE LOVE IT!
Ed Robertson says, “We’re very excited to be returning to the UK just in time for the Holidays. We’ll be bringing the Hits, The Holiday Favs, and a few tasty surprises with us.”
2025 saw the band undertake a massive North American headline tour – “Last Summer On Earth Tour” – across June, July and August. The sold out tour saw the band play iconic venues like Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado and the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles and further cemented their reputation as one of music’s finest live acts.
2026 sees the band tour North America again on the “25 Years In The Atmosphere tour”, with Train and Matt Nathanson. The 38 date tour takes place across July and August 2026. The full UK 2026 tour dates are as follows:
