Martin Harley UK Tour 2026

Welsh singer-songwriter and slide guitarist Martin Harley is set to captivate audiences across the UK with his Martin Harley UK Tour 2026. Celebrated for his masterful blend of blues, folk, and Americana, Harley has established himself as a compelling figure within roots music over more than two decades. Praised by The Guardian as delivering ‘spellbinding’ performances and lauded by Roots Magazine as ‘a slide guitar master’, he offers a rich, soulful musical experience defined by his expressive slide guitar and heartfelt vocals.

This tour will showcase selections from Harley’s latest album, Morning Sun, released on 18 October 2024. Produced by Nigel Stonier, the album represents some of his finest songwriting to date and features contributions from notable musicians Michael Blair, Mark Lewis, and Chris (CJ) Hillman. It stands as a testament to Harley’s artistic growth, available on all major streaming platforms.

Martin Harley’s live presence is equally compelling, having performed at renowned venues such as London’s Union Chapel and festivals like Glastonbury and the Royal Albert Hall. Fans can look forward to a dynamic show that stays true to his roots in deeply emotive and authentic music, also known for being featured on popular television soundtracks including ‘The Vampire Diaries’ and ‘Banshee’.

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.”
