The soloist and former Verve frontman is set to hit the road for a run of huge headline dates next spring, following a concert at Manchester’s Co-op Live in November.

All the shows come in celebration of his long-awaited seventh studio LP, ‘Lovin’ You’, which is released on Friday (October 3), and available to pre-order/pre-save here.

Last month it was shared that a handful of new shows had been added to the itinerary, including stops in Glasgow, Birmingham, and Newcastle. Now, Ashcroft has extended the tour again, this time adding a mammoth stop at Alexandra Palace Park.

The new gig in the capital will be held on July 17, and will see the ‘Bittersweet Symphony’ singer welcome in a crowd of up to 13,500. Tickets go on sale from 10am this Friday (October 3), and you can buy tickets here.

Due to overwhelming demand in London with the O2 show sold out, we're delighted to announce an outdoor summer date in London at Alexandra Palace Park 17th Jul 2026. Tickets on general sale Fri 3rd Oct 9:30am. Pre-order ‘Lovin You’ from https://t.co/21VmzastYq for pre-sale access. pic.twitter.com/85nXtMV0KS

At a show in Cardiff, Ashcroft responded to an Oasis fan who went viral after Shazaming The Verve’s ‘Bittersweet Symphony’. He later addressed the moment at the first Manchester gig, joking: “Get your Shazams out!”

He then shared the title track from his upcoming album ‘Lovin’ You’, and shared some praise for Liam Gallagher, and commended him for the discipline he has had while on the road, revealing he’d only seen him on stage during the reunion tour.
