The Horrors have shared news of a UK and Ireland tour for later this year. Find out the details below.
The dates come in celebration of their new record ‘Night Life’, which was shared earlier this month and marked their sixth studio album, following up from 2017’s ‘V’.
With the new dates, the band are set to hit the road across the winter, and will kick off the dates with an opening night at the National Stadium in Dublin on November 19. From there, they have stops planned in Birmingham, Brighton, Cardiff and Glasgow on November 21, 23, 24 and 25, before a show at the Project House in Leeds.
The dates wrap up with a stop at the New Century venue in Manchester and a slot at London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town on November 28 and 29 respectively.
These follow on from an already-announced handful of shows taking place this summer, including three in-store events later this week, and an appearance at the Dot To Dot Festival in Bristol and Nottingham in May.
“Now that album #6 is alive and kicking, we are announcing a run of UK shows for later this year – and also a show in Dublin, where we haven’t played enough over the years. Looking forward to seeing you in flesh & bone,” the band said in a new social media post.

The ‘Night Life’ LP was named as one of NME’s most anticipated album releases of 2025 ahead of it being shared this month. It was also previewed by singles ‘More Than Life’, ‘Lotus Eater’, ‘Trial By Fire’, ‘The Silence That Remains’ and ‘Ariel’.
Last week, the record was given a four-star review by NME, which described it as the group’s “most singular album yet”.
“The band have spent their 20-year-long career playfully traversing various musical kingdoms, moving through youthful goth punk, resplendent shoegaze, bright neo-psych, techno-brutality and now, into dark electro-rock. However, their best – specifically 2009’s brilliant ‘Primary Colours’, along with this latest full-length – see them transcend genre pastiche and revel in a host of dense, singular and potent soundscapes,” it read.
“Viewing their discography today, it’s as though The Horrors arrived in the early hours, pushed on through the brightening stages of the day, through the vibrant glory of the early evening and have now returned to the depths of the darkest night. It feels like this is where they belong.”
