The Biggest Country Music Tours Coming to the UK in 2027

Clear some space in the diary. Actually, quite a lot of space.

The UK country calendar for 2027 is already filling up with arena superstars, fast-rising Nashville names, returning favourites and home-grown talent, and we’re still months away from the new year.

There are intimate shows, big tours and then there is Noah Kahan casually turning up for three nights at Wembley Stadium. Thomas Rhett and Kacey Musgraves are heading back to UK arenas, Brandi Carlile is returning for a run of shows and another generation of artists is making increasingly ambitious trips across the Atlantic.

And this is only what we know about so far.

We’ll be updating this guide as more tours and dates are announced. For now, here’s who already has their bags packed for the UK in 2027.

Ashley Cooke Starts the Year

Ashley Cooke – Baby Blues World Tour
January 2027

Ashley Cooke will be among the first Nashville visitors of the new year when her Baby Blues World Tour reaches the UK and Ireland in January.

Cooke is part of a new generation of country artists combining Nashville songwriting with the melodic immediacy of contemporary pop, and her international profile continues to grow.

The tour includes Belfast and Glasgow before continuing through the UK, giving country fans an early excuse to abandon any sensible January plans involving staying at home and saving money.

Tyler Braden Brings the Days of Gold

Tyler Braden – The Days of Gold Tour
3–11 February 2027

If you prefer your country with the guitars turned up, Tyler Braden should make February considerably louder.

The Days of Gold Tour begins in Belfast before visiting Manchester, Glasgow, Birmingham and Cambridge, finishing at London’s KOKO on 11 February.

British country artist Chanel Yates joins Braden for the five mainland UK dates, pairing his muscular, rock-edged country with one of the UK’s exciting emerging voices.

Dylan Gossett Keeps Ramblin’

Dylan Gossett – Ramblin’ Tour
February 2027

Dylan Gossett’s rise has been fast, and the venues awaiting him in Britain suggest there is no sign of it slowing down.

The Texas singer-songwriter heads to the UK in February for shows including London’s O2 Academy Brixton, Manchester’s O2 Victoria Warehouse, O2 Academy Birmingham and O2 Academy Glasgow.

Gossett’s stripped-back songwriting occupies that increasingly fertile space between country, Americana and folk. Catch him now and you may well be able to say, “I saw him before…” in a few years’ time.

Kacey Musgraves Goes Back to the Arenas

Kacey Musgraves – Middle of Nowhere UK Tour
22–26 February 2027

Kacey Musgraves is heading back across the Atlantic for three arena dates in Glasgow, Manchester and London.

The Middle of Nowhere UK Tour begins at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on 22 February, followed by Manchester’s AO Arena on 24 February and OVO Arena Wembley on 26 February.

Musgraves has always been rather good at refusing to stay inside country’s neatly drawn lines, and her mix of country songwriting, pop and more experimental influences has given her a particularly devoted British audience.

C2C Takes Over March. Obviously.

C2C Country to Country
12–14 March 2027

Would it really be March in the UK without thousands of people in cowboy hats descending on London, Glasgow and Manchester?

C2C Country to Country returns from 12–14 March, once again taking over The O2, OVO Hydro and AO Arena for three days of country music.

C2C has become one of the fixed points of the British country calendar, and it is often where UK fans first encounter artists who return a year or two later with headline tours of their own. Keep an eye on that undercard.

Brandi Carlile Finally Gets Her UK Dates

Brandi Carlile – Human Tour
6–14 April 2027

Brandi Carlile’s rescheduled UK shows arrive in April, bringing one of Americana’s finest voices back to British stages.

The run includes two nights in Glasgow, two in Manchester, Wolverhampton and two nights at London’s Eventim Apollo, with KT Tunstall joining Carlile.

Carlile’s connections to country run deep, not least through The Highwomen and her acclaimed work with Tanya Tucker, but genre labels tend to feel rather inadequate once she starts singing.

Alexandra Kay Returns

Alexandra Kay – Straight for the Heart Tour 2027
April 2027

Alexandra Kay will return to Britain in April, continuing a relationship with UK country audiences that has grown steadily over recent years.

Her 2027 dates include Birmingham, Glasgow and Leeds, bringing her powerhouse vocals and highly personal brand of country songwriting back across the Atlantic.

Kay built much of her audience outside Nashville’s traditional route, and every UK return seems to arrive with a few more people waiting for her.

Thomas Rhett Brings the Party Back

Thomas Rhett – The Soundtrack To Life Tour
22–25 April 2027

Thomas Rhett is coming back to the UK, and this time he is bringing The Soundtrack To Life Tour to three of the country’s biggest indoor venues.

Manchester’s AO Arena gets things started on 22 April, followed by London’s The O2 on 23 April and Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on 25 April.

With Die a Happy Man, Marry Me and a catalogue packed with crowd-pleasers behind him, Rhett has plenty of ammunition for an arena show. Expect singing. Lots of singing.

First Time Flyers Are Coming Home

First Time Flyers – Coming Home Tour
April–May 2027

The Americans don’t get to have all the fun.

First Time Flyers head out on their biggest tour yet following the release of Coming Home, taking Vicki Manser, Jake Morrell, Poppy Fardell and Tim Prottey-Jones around the UK and into Europe.

The four-piece have built their following on harmonies, strong songwriting and infectious live chemistry, and The Coming Home Tour feels like another significant step forward for one of British country’s most recognisable groups.

And Then Noah Kahan Goes Really Big

Noah Kahan – The Last Of The Bugs World Tour
July 2027

Apparently arenas weren’t quite big enough.

Following his UK arena shows in late 2026, Noah Kahan returns in July 2027 for a huge step up to stadiums, playing Glasgow’s Hampden Park before not one, not two, but three nights at Wembley Stadium.

Kahan’s blend of folk, Americana and country influences, coupled with deeply personal songwriting, has made him one of the biggest artists to emerge from the wider roots music world in recent years.

Three Wembleys rather makes the point. Kahan’s return is already one of the standout events of the entire 2027 UK live calendar.

2027 UK Country Tours at a Glance

And We’re Only Getting Started…

The slightly ridiculous thing about that list is that 2027 hasn’t even started yet.

We’ve already got Kacey Musgraves and Thomas Rhett taking over arenas, Brandi Carlile returning for multiple nights, Noah Kahan graduating to stadiums and a crop of rising artists making bigger and bolder trips across the Atlantic.

Better still, British country isn’t standing on the sidelines. First Time Flyers are mounting their biggest tour yet, Chanel Yates is joining Tyler Braden and there will undoubtedly be plenty more home-grown names announcing dates as the year approaches.

So consider this a work in progress.

We’ll keep adding the biggest country, Americana and roots tours as they’re announced. Bookmark this page, check the bank balance occasionally, and perhaps don’t make too many other plans for 2027.
