Californian post-hardcore legends Thrice are heading back across the pond in spring 2026 — and they’re bringing their brand-new album Horizons/West with them. Get ready for soaring choruses, gut-punching riffs, and a setlist that’ll make your vocal cords beg for mercy. Proper job! 🏴🤘

What’s Occurring?

After tearing up stages worldwide with 2021’s Horizons/East, the band are returning to finish the story. Their upcoming record Horizons/West (out 3 October 2025 via Epitaph) will be fresh off the press when Thrice hit UK and European venues in March 2026. Fans can expect a full-throttle mix of new material alongside cult classics like “The Artist in the Ambulance,” “Stare at the Sun,” and the almighty “Black Honey.”

Tickets go on sale Friday 26 September at 10am local time — set your alarms, c’mon butt!

Why This Tour’s a Big Deal

Thrice are in one of the most creative grooves of their career right now. Horizons/East showed off their ability to keep evolving without losing that emotional punch, and early glimpses of Horizons/West — like lead single “Gnash” — prove they’re still pushing the boundaries while staying true to their roots.

And let’s be honest: hearing these new tracks live for the first time is going to be lush. Add in their back catalogue of fan-favourites and you’ve got the recipe for sweaty pits, shout-along choruses, and a few goosebump moments too.

Setlist Chaos Predictions

  • Opener: Something moody and brand-new, maybe “Gnash,” dropping straight into a classic bruiser like “The Earth Will Shake.”
  • Middle Stretch: A journey through the eras — Beggars, Vheissu, and The Artist in the Ambulance getting their shine.
  • Encore: “Black Honey” into “The Artist in the Ambulance.” If that happens in Cardiff, expect pint glasses in the air and absolute scenes.

Venues & Fan Tips

  • Cardiff Tramshed – Intimate venue, brilliant sightlines. Turn up early if you want barrier action.
  • Manchester O2 Ritz – Legendary springy floor means the whole crowd bounces with you. Wear decent trainers.
  • London O2 Forum Kentish Town – Balcony sells out sharpish. Short fans, get up there early for a lush view.
  • Glasgow SWG3 – If someone starts a posh pit, please film it and send it to us.

Hydrate, wear your earplugs, and don’t forget to stretch before the pit. Your knees will thank you.

Pre-Gig Homework 🎧

  • Spin “Gnash” on repeat until you know every twist and turn.
  • Revisit Horizons/East so you can shout the newer tracks properly.
  • Blast the classics (Vheissu, The Artist in the Ambulance) to get in the mood for some emotional damage.

Final Thoughts

This is shaping up to be one of the most exciting UK runs of 2026. Thrice have always balanced intensity with intimacy, and these mid-size venues are perfect for the communal chaos their gigs create.

Grab your tickets, warm up your lungs, and we’ll see you in the pit — probably losing our voices to “Black Honey.”

Diolch, Thrice — bring on spring 2026! 🥁🎤🔥
