Martin Harley UK Tour 2026

Martin Harley returns to the UK with his 2026 tour, bringing his distinctive blend of roots music, blues, folk, and Americana to audiences once again. The Welsh singer-songwriter and slide guitarist has earned a well-deserved reputation as a master of slide guitar, with The Guardian describing his performances as “spellbinding” and Roots Magazine acknowledging him as “a slide guitar master.” Over more than two decades, Harley has built an impressive catalogue and captivated listeners worldwide with soulful vocals and a powerful stage presence.

This tour follows the release of his latest album, Morning Sun, issued in October 2024. Produced by Nigel Stonier, the album features contributions from Michael Blair, Mark Lewis, and Chris (CJ) Hillman, and many fans and critics regard it as showcasing Harley’s finest songwriting to date. His live shows often reflect the heartfelt and richly textured music from his recordings, making these performances deeply engaging for fans of authentic, roots-oriented music.

Martin Harley shared with fans: “A huge thank you for supporting me. Four shows are sold out and many more are set to do the same. I’m very thankful to be able to play music for a living and I couldn’t do it without you. See you soon.”
