The Commoners – Runnin' Blind U.K. Tour 2026
The Commoners return to the UK with their "Runnin' Blind U.K. Tour 2026," bringing their compelling genre blend of roots-rock, Southern rock, blues, soul, and country to British stages once again. This Canadian band from Toronto has steadily grown a devoted UK following, captivating audiences with their muscular guitar riffs, soulful vocals, and rich harmonies that recall the classic swagger of Southern rock while delivering heartfelt storytelling that resonates deeply with country-rock and Americana fans alike.
Known for their breakthrough 2022 album Find A Better Way, which featured standout UK radio favourites like "Fill My Cup" and "Too Much", The Commoners have since pushed their sonic boundaries with 2024's Restless and captured their live energy with 2025's Live in the UK, affirming the UK as a "second home." Their music is perfectly suited to listeners who appreciate the heavier, blues-tinged side of roots music, comparable in spirit to acts like Blackberry Smoke.
Ahead of this tour, The Commoners released the single "Just Watch Me," a bold anthem about ownership and resilience that exemplifies their confident, robust sound. With energetic performances fronted by Chris Medhurst (vocals, guitar) and supported by Ben Spiller (bass), Ross Hayes Citrullo (lead guitar), Adam Cannon (drums), and Miles Evans-Branagh (organ), the band promises a powerful live experience.
"We're taking the Runnin' Blind Tour to the UK this Fall! It's been too long since we last played the UK, so we are STOKED to announce 12 new shows across the pond." — The Commoners
