West End legend and celebrated vocalist Michael Ball is set to kick off 2026 in spectacular style with the release of his new solo album, 'Glow,' followed by a major headline tour across the UK. The new album marks Ball’s 23rd solo studio effort and is highly anticipated as a collection of brand-new, original material.
Speaking about the upcoming project, Michael Ball shared his excitement: “There’s probably only one thing I enjoy more than being in the studio—writing, producing, and singing songs with people I love—and that’s taking it all out on the road and performing those songs as well as all the old favourites to the audiences I love.”
Following the album's early 2026 release, Ball will embark on the 'Glow UK' headline tour. The extensive run of dates begins on Wednesday, August 26, in Cambridge before traveling to key cities nationwide throughout September. Highlights of the tour include performances at the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall, Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, Manchester’s Bridgewater Hall, and a grand finale at the prestigious London Palladium on Thursday, October 1.
The tour schedule promises fans an evening of both new material from Glow and classic fan favourites that have defined his career.
“I hope you enjoy the new album, and I hope you come to see us on tour next year. It’s going to be an exciting year, and I can’t wait to see you all,” Ball added.
'Glow,' the album, is available for pre-purchase now via the official Michael Ball store. Fans who pre-order the album will receive exclusive access to the tour pre-sale starting on Wednesday, December 3rd, at 9 am.
General sale for the 'Glow UK' tour begins on Friday, December 5th, at 9 am local time.
