TEESSIDE-BORN FINN FORSTER ANNOUNCES 2027 UK AND EU TOUR

Teesside rising star, Finn Forster announces his biggest headline tour today, hitting cities across the UK and EU next year. Pre-sale tickets are available on Wednesday 21st October at 10am via Finn’s mailing list and on general sale from 10am on Friday 23rd October here.

Finn will be playing some of his largest headline shows to date, kicking things off on 26th February at Glasgow’s Oran Mor. Finn will then play seven more cities across the country including Leeds, Manchester and Birmingham before playing a show at London’s The Lower Third on 11th March. He’ll be wrapping the tour up in Europe, where it will be his first time headline in Europe, playing Paris, Utrecht, Cologne, Hamburg and Berlin.

Speaking of the tour, Finn said, “I can’t tell you how good it feels to hit this milestone. There were times when the biggest places I’d ever played were in the corner of a pub in my hometown, to fewer than 10 people. Now I get to head out on my biggest headline tour to date, and play some of my favourite cities across Europe. Sharing these rooms with you and singing my heart out is my favourite thing in the world. I can’t wait to get back on the road.”

Currently on tour supporting Des Rocs around the UK and Europe, Finn has been performing his latest single Blame It On You to packed out rooms, confirming the song as a firm fan favourite. The single hears Finn’s signature raw and soulful vocal full of passion, and explores themes of accepting responsibility and evolving as a person. Following its release, Blame It On You has had fantastic support at radio, including plays on BBC Radio 1 introducing, Radio X, Radio 2 and BBC Introducing NE. Finn has explained, “Blame It On You is a song that follows the breakdown of a relationship I had. Moving through blame and accountability. I wanted to tell a raw and honest story but not through the style of a traditional sad break up song. It’s cool, hooky and anthemic and meant to be played loud.”

Finn has had a jam-packed and admirable 2026 festival season, playing the likes of TRNSMT, Boardmasters, Isle of Wight and more. Earlier this year saw the release of Strangers, which received solid support across radio including on BBC Radio 1 where Jack Saunders gave the track its first play, and also on BBC Radio 1 Introducing who made the song their Track Of The Week! BBC Radio 2 and Radio X also give the single a spin.

2025 was a triumphant year for Finn; he played a show as part of the Mercury Prize Fringe in Newcastle, supported pop royalty JADE at the BBC Proms, completed his own sold-out UK & Ireland headline tour, supported Bastille at the Motorpoint Arena, and also supported Stereophonics on their UK & European stadium tour in the Summer and on their Winter arena tour, plus played various UK festivals including Reading & Leeds and Kendal Calling. Finn also received the coveted PPL Momentum Fund on behalf of the PRS Foundation, and was chosen as a Tees Valley Artist Of The Year, earning himself career-defining funding and support, which in turn helps boost his region’s creative industries. All of these remarkable accolades are no mean feat for an artist born and bred in a small industrial town in Teesside, where opportunities in the music industry are few and far between.
