Fresh off yet another Grammy nomination (their third in a row, no less) and a performance at the ceremony that reminded everyone exactly why they’re the most exciting band in modern metal, Spiritbox have just dropped news that’s going to make your September very loud indeed. The Canadian four piece are bringing their Tsunami Sea arena tour to the UK, and these will be the biggest headline shows they’ve ever played on these shores.
If you were at their sold out Alexandra Palace show in 2025, you already know what this band can do to a room. If you caught their mainstage debut at Download Festival last summer, you saw a band that belongs on the biggest stages going. Now they’re stepping up to arenas, and honestly, it feels like the most natural progression in heavy music right now.
The tour kicks off at Glasgow’s SECC Hall 3 on Saturday 12th September before hitting Nottingham’s Motorpoint Arena (14th), Manchester’s Co Op Live (16th), Cardiff’s Utilita Arena (17th), and wrapping up at London’s OVO Arena Wembley on Saturday 19th September. Tickets go on sale at 10am on Friday 27th February via LiveNation.co.uk. Mastercard holders can access preferred tickets from the same time at priceless.com/music.
The support bill is properly stacked too. Jinjer and Dying Wish join as special guests, making this one of the most forward thinking heavy lineups you’ll see all year.
Spiritbox‘s trajectory has been remarkable. Both Eternal Blue and Tsunami Sea hit the UK Top 20, with the latter firing straight to number one on Billboard’s Top Hard Rock Albums chart. They’ve gone from packed tents at Download to Wembley Stadium as main support for Linkin Park, and 2026 will also see them supporting Evanescence across North America. The band’s willingness to push boundaries, including that bold collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion, speaks to a fearlessness that sets them apart.
At the heart of it all is Courtney LaPlante, whose voice carries the intense emotional weight of everything Spiritbox does, from themes of mental health and identity to loss and resilience. Alongside Mike Stringer (guitar), Zev Rose (drums), and Josh Gilbert (bass), this is a band built on big riffs, explosive dynamics, and a refusal to stand still.
