Global pop sensation MIKA has unveiled details for his most extensive European headline tour to date, the "Spinning Out Tour," set to captivate audiences across the continent in 2026. The Brit Award and GRAMMY® Award-nominated artist will kick off the tour on February 6th in Amiens, France, at the Zenith, before traversing through France, Italy, Belgium, the UK, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg, culminating on March 6th at the Arena Geneva in Switzerland.
This announcement coincides with news of a forthcoming new album, expected in late 2025. MIKA elaborated on the creative process behind the new material: "This new album began by getting back to songwriting alone at the piano, with no filters and staying as true to myself as possible. The songs became this explosion of kaleidoscopic energy, as eccentric and psychedelic as they are melodic." He further noted his collaboration with Nick Littlemore (Empire Of The Sun/Pnau) to craft a "joyful sound world" for the record, recorded in diverse international locations. The result is described as "a gloriously unselfconscious, synth laden dance album."
The tour schedule includes significant UK dates at Manchester's AO Arena on February 11th and London's OVO Arena Wembley on February 12th, offering fans a chance to experience his dynamic live show. A special Mika Fanclub pre-sale commences on Wednesday, July 9th, at 10 AM BST/11 AM CET, followed by a Spotify pre-sale on Thursday, July 10th, at the same times. General tickets will become available on Friday, July 11th.
MIKA's recent activities underscore his prominent global presence. He recently co-hosted Italy’s David Di Donatello Awards and wrapped up the third season of his UK television series, The Piano, alongside Jon Batiste. Spanish singing competition La Voz (The Voice) has also named him as a coach for its 2025 season. Additionally, luxury champagne brand Nicolas Feuillatte has appointed him as a brand ambassador, and he received the Nordoff & Robbins Global Impact Award in London on July 2nd. These accolades follow the success of his first French-language album, Que ta tête fleurisse toujours, which debuted in the top 5 on the French album chart and achieved gold status. His enduring hit "Grace Kelly" has recently seen renewed popularity on TikTok, accumulating over 485 million Spotify streams.
MIKA's ability to blend a classically trained voice with multi-octave melodies continues to define his musical approach, fostering an inclusive and distinctive artistic world for his audience.
