Musical theatre royalty Michael Ball is set to illuminate stages across the country in 2026 with his massive Glow UK headline tour. The tour comes in support of his twenty-third solo record, Glow, which arrives on April 24th.
Marking a significant milestone in his storied career, Glow is Ball’s first-ever album consisting entirely of original, self-written material. To celebrate, he is embarking on an extensive 25-date journey through the UK’s most prestigious concert halls, bringing a fresh, personal energy to his legendary live performances.
A Career-First Live Experience
Fans can expect a setlist that seamlessly blends brand-new hits with long-standing crowd favorites. The show is expected to open with the album’s lead track, "Best Night Of Your Life," a song specifically written to ignite the atmosphere of the 2026 tour.
Ball’s new single, "Vintage"—released today, February 5th—serves as a spirited anthem for the tour, celebrating lived experience and "pre-loved" wisdom. "I have a suspicion that the audience will be excited to see me doing these live," Ball suggests. "With Glow, I think we’re really going to have a great moment together."
