Blue announce most intimate tour yet to mark new album Reflections

Pop legends Blue are celebrating their 25th anniversary in style – by swapping arenas for outstores. The BRIT Award-winning quartet have announced an eight-date UK outstore tour for July 2026, playing their smallest venues in decades to mark the release of their new album Reflections, due 9th January 2026.

The intimate run will see Antony Costa, Duncan James, Lee Ryan and Simon Webbe perform in towns and venues they’ve rarely played before, including stops in Norwich, Lancaster, Wrexham and Kingston. It’s a rare chance for fans to see the multi-platinum-selling group up close, with a setlist expected to include greatest hits, new cuts and a few surprises.

“We’re about to set off on a huge world tour,” the group shared, “but we’ve also got something special and a bit different lined up for the summer here. Playing and chatting up close and personal in some small venues – to celebrate our 25th anniversary.”

The announcement follows the band’s return to the spotlight with recent singles One Last Time and Waste My Love, both of which will feature on Reflections. The new album promises a mix of nostalgia and fresh pop energy, setting the tone for their biggest year of touring yet.

The outstore shows follow a sold-out album signing tour in January and precede a major international headline run throughout 2026, including arena shows in Tokyo, Milan, Berlin and a double night at London’s Eventim Apollo.

Tickets and album bundles for the July outstore tour go on sale from 10am, Wednesday 19th November. Demand is expected to be high for what promises to be a once-in-a-generation chance to see Blue in such up-close settings.
