| Following their first new music in a decade, a huge sold out tour and a triumphant return to the hallowed grounds of Download Festival in 2025, British rock band ELLIOT MINOR have arrived at their next milestone. 2027 marks twenty years of the band’s existence, having independently launched the project alongside their debut single ‘Parallel Worlds’ in 2007. That debut single provided the initial spark for a fire that swept through the mainstream, leading the band to international success and widespread critical acclaim; something that deserves to be acknowledged. ELLIOT MINOR are proud to announce their 20th Anniversary Tour which will sweep through the UK in March 2027, their biggest headline tour since their resurgence. The shows, which end at London’s renowned O2 Forum Kentish Town, will provide both the band and the fans an opportunity to look back at ELLIOT MINOR‘s legacy and toward to the future as they use their revitalised spirit to further fuel their comeback. Not only that, but the band are bringing special guests MADINA LAKE and THE RED JUMPSUIT APPARATUS for the ride, making this an unmissable celebration. |

Speaking on their return and the new tour announcement, ELLIOT MINOR vocalist Alex Davies comments:
“Coming back together for the reunion tour in 2025 was such an amazing and nostalgic experience for all of us. We genuinely didn’t know what to expect after so many years away, and it was unbelievably surreal to walk out each night and see so many people there, singing every word back at us. There were moments where we’d just look at each other on stage and think, ‘How is this happening again?’“The response to the shows reminded us just how much our band and songs still mean to people. Some of these songs were actually written back in our school/college days pre-2007, which is pretty crazy to think about – especially seeing people that age now discovering the band for the first time. It really re-ignited something in us. We’ve also been spending time together writing and recording new music, and we’re incredibly excited to get that out there as part of our 20th Anniversary alongside all the 2000s nostalgia. Having the opportunity to get back out there and play alongside bands that we’ve loved for years, including MADINA LAKE and THE RED JUMPSUIT APPARATUS, makes this upcoming tour feel even more special. There’s a real sense of nostalgia around it, but at the same time it feels like we’ve entered a completely new chapter for ELLIOT MINOR. We’re pumped for what’s ahead and can’t wait to get back out there.” MADINA LAKE adds:
“MADINA LAKE has been quietly working on a new EP to celebrate the 20th anniversary of our debut From Them, Through Us, To You in 2027. The year-long celebration begins with a UK tour alongside our friends ELLIOT MINOR and THE RED JUMPSUIT APPARATUS.” Randy Winter of THE RED JUMPSUIT APPARATUS shares:
“We’re super stoked to be returning to the UK, especially with ELLIOT MINOR & MADINA LAKE (again!). And yes, the rumours are true, new music is on the way. Heard a bounce yesterday, IT’S FIRE!” |

ABOUT ELLIOT MINOR:
British rock band ELLIOT MINOR first burst onto the scene independently in 2007 with debut single ‘Parallel Worlds’, combining classical influences with a distinctive blend of orchestral rock, alternative and pop-punk. The track reached #1 on the UK Independent Singles Chart and became the first of four UK Top 40 singles, leading to a deal with Warner Music, and their self-titled debut album, which reached #6 in the UK Albums Chart in 2008. Follow-up Solaris (2009) took their signature sound into darker, more mature territory. After hundreds of shows around the world — including Reading & Leeds, Download, Wireless and Tokyo’s Summer Sonic, alongside tours with Fall Out Boy and Simple Plan — ELLIOT MINOR went on hiatus in 2011, briefly returning for a run of special sold-out shows in 2014. More than a decade later, ELLIOT MINOR made an unexpected return in 2025. Their sold-out ‘Once In A Decade’ comeback tour was followed by ‘How Does It Feel’, their first new music in over a decade, before an invitation from Download Festival brought them back to Donington, performing second from headline on the Avalanche Stage. Now with their catalogue back under their own control, new music in the works and 20 years approaching since their breakthrough, ELLIOT MINOR return in 2027 for their biggest headline tour since reforming, joined by special guests Madina Lake and The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus for a celebration two decades in the making. |
