Theyโre back, mun! After a full decade away from the stage, our psychedelic Welsh wizards Super Furry Animals are dusting off the costumes, inflating the giant bears, and unleashing their mighty Supacabra Tour 2026. And yes, itโs going to be absolute chaos in the best way possible. ๐คฏโจ
Fans have been gagging for this moment since 2016โs last reunion shows โ and now Gruff Rhys, Cian Ciarรกn, Daf Ieuan, Huw Bunford, and Guto Pryce are finally returning to melt minds with bangers like Hello Sunshine, Juxtapozed With U, and Man Donโt Give a F**k!
But listen up, because tickets are going to fly faster than a Cardiff seagull eyeing your chips. Hereโs everything you need to know to bag your place.

๐ค Why It Matters
This isnโt just another reunion cash-grab. For many fans, Super Furry Animals are the beating, bizarre heart of Welsh rock, blending indie, electronica, punk, and straight-up psychedelic lunacy. Their gigs were legendary for a reason โ costumes, visuals, inflatable bears, and setlists that swerved between delicate and deranged.
A decade off the road means demand is through the roof. Expect Cardiff and Brixton to sell out within minutes.
๐ป Final Word from The Riff Report
Get your alarms set. Get your tabs open. Get your refresh finger limbered up.
Because when Gruff and the lads step back on stage in May 2026, itโll be more than just a gig โ itโll be a resurrection of one of Walesโ weirdest, wildest, and most wonderful exports.
Cโmon butt, donโt miss it. ๐พ๐ถ
