Brian Collins – UK Tour 2026
Brian Collins returns to the UK in 2026, bringing with him a captivating blend of Americana and country music that is deeply rooted in Southern Rock and Blue-Eyed Soul traditions. Hailing from West Georgia, Collins is not just a singer-songwriter but also a multi-instrumentalist and producer whose heartfelt storytelling resonates with fans globally. His impressive journey has seen him share stages with iconic acts such as Zac Brown Band, Alabama, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Blackberry Smoke, earning recognition from major industry bodies like CMA, Billboard, and CMT.
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.
Collins’ music is characterised by a rich, soulful voice and an authentic southern soul that combines genre elements into a sound that feels both timeless and uplifting. His breakthrough came with the debut single Never Really Left, followed by the inspiring anthem Shine A Little Love, which enjoyed a strong presence on country charts and video countdowns alike. This track also helped inspire the Shine A Little Love Fest, an event that further connects Collins with his growing fanbase.
This tour is branded simply as the Brian Collins – UK Tour 2026, promising intimate and engaging shows that bring fans closer to the artist’s honest and optimistic musical spirit. Accompanying Collins on this journey is Naomi Campbell, a rising star in the UK country and Americana scene. Originally from rural Ireland and now based in Liverpool, Campbell’s rich vocals and emotive storytelling complement Collins’ southern sound with her own fusion of folk, soul and blues influences.
