More than 50 years after the songs were first penned by teenage founders Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook, Squeeze have officially released their highly anticipated new album, Trixies. To celebrate this full-circle moment, the legendary band has announced the Tried, Tested and Trixies Tour, marking the most ambitious run of UK live dates in their storied career, buy tickets below.
Kicking off at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on November 12, 2026, the 16-date tour will see Squeeze headline several major arenas for the first time. A particularly poignant highlight of the schedule is a hometown show at London’s O2 Arena on November 26, situated just three miles from where the band first formed in 1974.
The tour is not only a musical celebration but a mission-driven one; the band will be supporting the anti-poverty charity Trussell and Grassroots Music Venues throughout the run. Joining Squeeze as a very special guest for these dates is the acclaimed singer-songwriter and activist Billy Bragg.
Before the UK autumn tour, Squeeze will take their legendary live show across the Atlantic for a high-profile performance at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on September 19, appearing alongside Adam Ant and The English Beat. This is followed by a set at the Bourbon & Beyond Festival in Louisville, KY.
European fans can also catch the band this month during a short run of club dates in cities including Hamburg, Stockholm, and Paris, while their only UK summer festival appearance is currently set for the Gwyl Portmeirion Festival in Wales on July 4.
