Well butt, dust off your “Many of Horror” vocal cords and start practising your “WOOOOS!” because Biffy Clyro are kicking off 2026 the only way they know how – loud, sweaty, and absolutely refusing to wear shirts. 🥵
The Scottish alt-rock titans have just dropped the news that they’ll be smashing through nine dates across the UK & Ireland this coming January 2026, so your New Year’s resolution might as well be “See Biffy. Lose voice. Repeat.”
The Dates – Mark Your Calendars, Mun! 📅
Here’s where Simon, James, and Ben will be melting faces:
- Jan 6 – Belfast, SSE Arena
- Jan 7 – Dublin, 3Arena
- Jan 9 – Glasgow, OVO Hydro
- Jan 11 – Newcastle, Utilita Arena
- Jan 12 – Leeds, First Direct Arena
- Jan 14 – Birmingham, Resorts World Arena
- Jan 15 – Cardiff, Utilita Arena (C’MON BUTT! 🏴)
- Jan 17 – Manchester, AO Arena
- Jan 18 – London, The O2
Why You Need to Be There 🤘
If you’ve ever seen Biffy live, you already know – it’s like being hit in the chest with a wall of riffs, harmonies, and the occasional shirtless Glaswegian scream. They’ve got bangers for days — “Mountains,” “Bubbles,” “Black Chandelier,” “Biblical” — plus enough deep cuts to make the superfans faint.
It’s also January. It’s cold. It’s miserable. Your post-Christmas bank account is crying. And yet, nothing will warm your soul (and your pint hand) quite like yelling “MON THE BIFF!” with 20,000 other people while your ears give up on functioning properly until March. 🥁
Ticket Info 🎟️
Tickets go on general sale this Friday at 9am (fan presales will probably shift half of them by Thursday, let’s be real). Prices haven’t been officially announced yet, but we’re guessing in the £45–£75 range depending on where you’re sat/standing.
If you want barrier, you’re gonna have to put in the queue graft — the Biffy faithful don’t mess about.
Final Word
January’s gonna be lush, mun. Big singalongs, big riffs, big feelings. Biffy Clyro have been one of the UK’s most consistently brilliant live bands for two decades now, and this run is shaping up to be a proper early-year highlight.
See you in the pit… or at least halfway down the standing section with a pint of lukewarm lager. 🍺
