Appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon performing “Connected” (watch here) in January, the band also recently announced a slew of US dates – their first full US route since 2001 – leading up to an appearance at the prestigious Cruel World festival on 17th May.

The band bookend a packed 2025 schedule with an 11-date UK and Ireland stretch of shows throughout November, December and January

Kicking-off at Glasgow St Luke’s venue on 27th November, the ‘True To Life’ UK / IE Tour will take in shows in major cities like Bristol, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Birmingham and beyond, before concluding with a two-night residency at the Button Factory in the Irish capital of Dublin in January (30-31/01 2026).

Fans can expect to hear tracks from across the Brit Award-winning act’s acclaimed seven studio albums, including Connected, Step It UpElevate My MindLost In Music,

As Rob explains of ‘True To Life’: 

“There are many influences in the melting pot being shaped by this time we live in. In the same way as we look back for inspiration, we are charged by the present and that’s how we work: combining old methods with modern technology. The more diverse our music becomes, the happier I feel.”

While Nick adds of the upcoming tour:

“There’ll be a lot of new music… some club orientated in keeping with our label and recent outlook, and some more in the Stereo MC’s known mould. When the two merge as one, we will be there.”
