Franz Ferdinand announce headline tour

Franz Ferdinand have announced details of a headline UK and European tour - and this is how to get tickets.

The group will embark on a run of shows in early 2026 in support of their album, The Human Fear.

The run will begin in Dundee on 24 February and head to the likes of Leeds, Manchester, Newcastle and Nottingham.

They'll then head to venues in the likes of Birmingham, Cardiff, Bristol and London into March.

The tour is also set to stop off across mainland Europe, with shows in Vienna, Munich, Berlin, Cologne, Frankfurt and Brussels.
