Brian Collins – UK Tour 2026
Brian Collins, a West Georgia native, returns to the UK for his 2026 tour, showcasing a remarkable blend of Americana and country music that draws deeply from Southern Rock and Blue-Eyed Soul traditions. An accomplished singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer, Collins has garnered respect for his soulful voice and heartfelt storytelling — qualities that have seen him share stages with iconic acts including Zac Brown Band, Alabama, and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Brian Collins kicks off his UK summer dates with the feel‑good new single Bottom of The Glass, an uplifting, Celtic‑tinged drinking anthem written with hit songwriter Thom Shepherd and inspired by a New Orleans loft songwriting session. Released today, the track arrives just as Collins lands in the UK for a run of festival and headline shows—his first visit since C2C 2023—giving fans across the country the chance to be among the first to hear the new song live.
Emerging as a compelling contemporary artist, Collins first caught attention with his debut single Never Really Left and the uplifting Shine A Little Love, the latter achieving notable chart success and inspiring the annual Shine A Little Love Fest. His ongoing commitment to authentic, optimistic songwriting is evident in a run of resonant singles and his 2026 EP Songs from the Heart and for the Heart.
Alongside his international touring, including sell-out UK shows and performances at major festivals like Country Calling, Collins balances his career with producing at Real 2 Reel Studios in Georgia. His collaborative projects underscore a spirit dedicated to musical connection and community.
