Ride announced a UK tour titled ‘Here And Now’ scheduled for 2027 [1], which will include a performance at Brixton Academy [1, 2].
The tour marks a significant return to live performances for the group, focusing specifically on their classic material to satisfy long-term fans [1].
The concert series is set to begin in February 2027 [1, 2]. The first show will take place on Feb. 13 in Bournemouth [1, 2]. From there, the band will travel across the country to various venues [2].
“We’re thrilled to announce our return to the road with a brand new tour,” Ride said [1].
While the band has not released a full setlist, the ‘Here And Now’ branding suggests a retrospective approach to their discography. The inclusion of Brixton Academy indicates a scale of production intended for one of the UK's most prominent music venues [1, 2].
James Ford of Far Out Magazine said the tour will see the band traverse up and down the country [2]. This wide geographic reach ensures that fans across different regions of the UK have access to the performances as the group revisits the songs that defined their early career [1].
““We’re thrilled to announce our return to the road with a brand new tour.””
The decision to focus on 'classic material' for the 2027 tour suggests a strategic move by Ride to lean into their legacy as pioneers of the shoegaze genre. By scheduling a major date at Brixton Academy and starting the tour in February, the band is positioning this run as a high-profile return to the UK circuit rather than a series of small club dates.
