Starbenders announce headline UK and EU tour dates

Author Benedetta Baldin - 13.2.2026

In just under two weeks, Atlanta rock ‘n’ rollers Starbenders will release their stunning brand new album “The Beast Goes On” on 27th February via Sumerian Records. Ahead of the grand unveiling, the band have today announced their return to the UK and Europe, bringing their electric headline show to twenty-nine cities across the continent to celebrate the release of the new record. 

Speaking about the tour announcement, vocalist Kimi Shelter shares:
“The United Kingdom has always felt like a second home to me. I have family roots there and feel that connection every time we land. It’s instinctive and deep. Some of our most powerful shows and favourite memories as a band have happened there. We are counting the days until we are back in the same room with you, sharing that electricity again. I have missed your beautiful faces.”

Tickets for the tour are on sale now and can be found here. See below for a full list of dates.

STARBENDERS return with their boldest statement yet, The Beast Goes On; an album that fuses shimmering synth-rock, moody alt-pop, and raw, cinematic energy. With haunting hooks, infectious melodies, and lyrics that confront love, loss, and reinvention, STARBENDERS create a soundscape that’s both intimate and larger than life. This record isn’t just music, it’s a mood, a movement and a relentless ride that proves STARBENDERScontinue to push boundaries and command attention. 

The Beast Goes On will be available across all major streaming platforms, as well as on four vinyl variants (including exclusive limited edition pressings) and CD digipack. The album is available to pre-save and pre-order here.
