CMAT has announced a huge UK and Ireland headline tour for 2026. Find all the details below.
The Irish singer-songwriter will hit the road again early next year in support of her third studio album, ‘Euro-Country’, which is out next Friday (August 29).
Kicking off in Edinburgh on March 7, the forthcoming trek also includes shows in Brighton, Manchester, Dublin and Cork. The run of dates features a massive performance at London’s Alexandra Palace too, scheduled for March 13.
CMAT’s 2026 Irish dates will see her take to the stage at St Anne’s Park (Dublin) and the Virgin Media Park stadium (Cork) in May and June, respectively.
“Come and see me, CMAT, and The Very Sexy CMAT Band, play our BIGGEST SHOWS EVER next year!” the artist wrote alongside the full schedule.
Tickets go on general sale at 10am BST next Thursday (August 28) – you’ll be able to buy yours here. Alternatively, fans can access a pre-sale at the same time on Tuesday (26) by pre-ordering ‘Euro-Country’ via CMAT’s official store – you can do so here.

CMAT will also play a run of intimate record store gigs this month and next to mark the release of ‘Euro-Country.
She’ll embark on a UK and Ireland headline tour later this year, including a show at London’s O2 Academy Brixton, and a night at Dublin’s 3Arena. Find any remaining tickets here.
CMAT released the ‘Euro-Country’ title track last month as her latest single. It followed on from the songs ‘Running/Planning’, ‘Take A Sexy Picture Of Me’ and ‘The Jamie Oliver Petrol Station’.
Speaking to NME about her imminent new album in March, CMAT explained: “I spent all of September to December working on it in a hole in New York City. It’s done now. I lost my mind there for a bit, but it sounds great.
“I’m really focusing on songs that transfer well to live music, because my live band is such an important part of what I do. They’re the basis of me becoming a well-known person in the UK who is able to sell tickets to gigs. I wouldn’t be able to do it if it wasn’t for my band, so I wrote an album for both them and me to slay.”

In other news, CMAT recently revealed that she “didn’t sleep” in the run-up to her performance at Glastonbury 2025.
NME gave the Pyramid Stage performance a glowing five-star review, writing: “CMAT captures the spirit of Glasto and sets the bar for the coming weekend – and her life, it seems.” NME also featured the slot as one of “the most unforgettable moments from Worthy Farm” this year.
