Sleaford Mods – have announce highly anticipated show in the 3Olympia Theatre, Dublin

Sleaford Mods have announced a UK and Eire headline tour for early 2026 including a highly anticipated show in the 3Olympia Theatre, Dublin on Thursday 19th February 2026.

The band will kick things off at Glasgow’s iconic Barrowland Ballroom on 6 February before playing shows all over Britain and Ireland, culminating with a show at London’s O2 Academy Brixton on 7 March.

The duo, who will be in Cardiff at the Great Hall on Valentine’s Day, will also play a homecoming show at Nottingham’s Rock City on 27 February.

“We took a year off ’cause I needed to get my nails did, and now we’re itching to get back out there and play live”, says Sleaford Mods’ Jason Williamson. “We released a new single Megaton last week, it’s an absolute banger so we’re buzzing to play that live for the first time. Who knows, we might have a few more new tracks to drop by then. Either way, it’s been a while since we toured, and we’re gagging for it.”

Megaton, the band’s first new material since the release of 2023 album UK Grim, is available to stream now. Proceeds from the song are going to War Child, a commitment the band have deepened with this tour by partnering with PLUS1 to give £1 (1€ for Eire dates) from every ticket sold to the charity.

“We’re incredibly grateful to Sleaford Mods for their continued generosity and support,” explained War Child’s Live Music Lead Clare Sanders-Wright. “Every ticket sold will directly support our work protecting, educating, and standing up for children affected by war, and we can’t thank them and their team enough for standing with us.”

The video for Megaton was directed by artist and photographer Nick Wapplington and was shot, guerilla-style, on location at Speaker’s Corner in Hyde Park, London.

Tickets for Sleaford Mods tour go on general sale this Friday (19 September) at 10am BST, however fans signed up to the band’s mailing list before midnight on Tuesday 23 September will be able to take part in the exclusive presale that takes place on Wednesday 24 September from midday.
