What’s occurring, mun? Well, Liverpool’s own Dan Byrne has only gone and dropped a monster 13-date headline UK tour for spring 2026 — and it’s looking tasty enough to make you spill your pint. The lad’s been grafting, smashing stages with Revival Black, fronting Myke Gray’s Skin shows, and carving out a name as one of the fiercest voices in British rock. Now, it’s time to bring his own firestorm to venues across the land. Tidy!
The Lowdown: Live… In The Moment UK Tour 🎤🔥
Dan’s calling it the “Live… In The Moment UK Tour”, and judging by the size of his lungs, you’ll be hearing him belt out choruses in the next postcode. It’s running from late March through April, and he’s hitting everywhere from sweaty steel towns to the capital’s newest hot spots — and yes, we’ve got a South Wales date in Crumlin, so sharpen your air guitars. 🏴
Here’s the full run of chaos:
- Sat 21 Mar — Wolverhampton, KK’s Steel Mill
- Sun 22 Mar — Manchester, Deaf Institute
- Tue 24 Mar — Chester, The Live Rooms
- Thu 26 Mar — Newcastle, The Cluny
- Fri 27 Mar — Edinburgh, Voodoo Rooms
- Sat 28 Mar — Glasgow, The Garage
- Sun 29 Mar — Blackpool, Waterloo Music Bar
- Wed 1 Apr — Sheffield, Corporation
- Fri 3 Apr — Nottingham, The Bodega
- Sat 4 Apr — Southampton, The Joiners
- Sun 5 Apr — Bristol, Exchange
- Fri 10 Apr — London, The Lower Third
- Sat 11 Apr — The Patriot, Crumlin (let’s go butt! 🤘)
🎟️ Tickets are live Friday 5 September 2025 through MyTicket, Gigantic, and the usual suspects. No messing about — these are proper intimate venues, and they’ll sell quicker than a round at Fuel Rock Club.
Why You Should Care (and Get Your Ticket, Pronto) 🥁
- That Voice: Let’s be honest, Dan Byrne’s vocals could wake the dead. Somewhere between Coverdale swagger and Jorn-style firepower, he’s built for these rooms.
- New Music Teasers: Dan’s been hinting at album sessions and fresh bangers dropping into 2026. Expect road-testing, riffs, and maybe even a cheeky sing-along demo.
- Venues with Vibes: From The Joiners to The Bodega, these are the kind of rooms where legends are born. You’ll be able to say “I was there, mun” when he’s smashing arenas in a couple of years.
Riff Report’s Take 🎸🍻
This ain’t just another tour announcement — it’s a statement of intent. Dan’s been bubbling under for years, and 2026 looks like his big swing. Catching him now, in venues where you can actually touch the ceiling, is about as rock ’n’ roll as it gets.
We’ll be at the Crumlin show shouting “YESS MUN!” at the front. Don’t sleep on this — grab your tickets, warm up those vocal cords, and prepare to leave the venue with ringing ears and a massive grin.

With a lifelong passion for loud guitars, unforgettable live shows, and the incredible community that surrounds rock and metal, he created The Riff Report to celebrate everything that makes the scene special—from legendary headline acts and grassroots venues to rising bands that deserve to be heard.
A familiar face at festivals across the UK, Michael spends much of the year covering events including Download Festival, Bloodstock Open Air, Steelhouse Festival, Firevolt, Plumpton Revival, and many more. Whether he’s battling the Welsh weather on a mountainside, surviving a weekend in a muddy campsite, or squeezed against the front barrier with thousands of fellow fans, he’s always searching for the next great story to share.
As editor of The Riff Report, Michael writes festival guides, breaking news, album reviews, gig reviews, interviews, opinion pieces, nostalgia features, and behind-the-scenes stories from across the rock and metal world.

Michael is particularly passionate about supporting independent artists, local venues, charities, and the wider UK rock and metal community. He believes every band deserves a chance to be discovered and every festival has a story worth telling. Through The Riff Report, he aims to shine a spotlight on both the biggest names in rock and the future stars waiting to break through.
When he’s not writing or interviewing artists, you’ll probably find him exploring festival campsites, photographing live shows, chatting with fellow fans over a pint, or planning the next road trip in search of more riffs, bigger crowds, and unforgettable moments.
Above all, Michael believes rock and metal are about more than music—they’re about community, friendship, and creating memories that last a lifetime. That’s exactly what The Riff Report exists to celebrate.
Proudly Welsh. Proudly Loud. Always chasing the next great riff. 🤘
