Del Amitri announce landmark ‘Past To Present’ Yorkshire dates for 2026

Del Amitri have announced the ‘Past To Present’ UK Tour 2026, a landmark nationwide run marking four decades of songs, stories, and live shows. The tour, which celebrates a catalogue that has soundtracked generations, will see the band arrive in the region for two major performances at York Barbican on Monday November 16th and Sheffield City Hall on Tuesday November 17th.

From their breakthrough in the late eighties as a young Glasgow indie band through a run of era-defining albums and enduring radio staples, Del Amitri have carved out a singular place in British music. One of the UK’s most loved bands, their journey has been defined by sharp songwriting, soaring melodies, and music that continues to resonate with audiences everywhere. This career-spanning tour will celebrate every chapter of the band’s story: the early breakthroughs, the chart years, the renaissance, and what comes next.

Acclaimed UK tours

After their 1985 self-titled debut, it was 1989’s Waking Hours and the hit single ‘Nothing Ever Happens’ that propelled them onto Top of the Pops, launching a run of hits including ‘Always The Last To Know’ and later the US Top 10 smash ‘Roll To Me’. Across six studio albums between 1985 and 2002, the band sold over six million records worldwide. Following a hiatus, core members Justin Currie and Iain Harvie reunited for acclaimed UK tours and returned in 2021 with Fatal Mistakes, their first new studio album in 18 years, which was released via Cooking Vinyl.

The upcoming Yorkshire performances at York Barbican and Sheffield City Hall will feature a setlist bringing together classic singles, fan favourites, and newer material, serving as a reminder that Del Amitri’s songs remain as vital as ever. The ‘Past To Present’ tour follows extensive global touring across the UK, Europe, Australia, and North America, marking a significant homecoming to the theatre stages where their melodic pop-rock sound truly shines. Fans in Yorkshire can expect an evening that honours four decades of musical craftsmanship from one of Scotland’s finest exports.
