Gnarls Barkley announce first tour in 18 years – including UK shows

Gnarls Barkley have announced their first tour in 18 years, following their long-awaited return with new music earlier this year.

The duo of CeeLo Green and Danger Mouse will embark on the ‘To Whom It Still Concerns’ tour in November, marking their first run of live dates since 2008.

The North American leg will begin at The Masonic in San Francisco on November 5 and take in Los Angeles, Atlanta, Detroit, Boston, Silver Spring, Toronto and New York, before wrapping up at Chicago’s House Of Blues on November 28.

They will then head to the UK for four shows in December, playing Manchester Academy, Glasgow’s O2 Academy, Wolverhampton Civic Hall and the new British Airways ARC venue in London.

Ingressos para os shows no Reino Unido saem à venda geral às 10h BST na sexta-feira (25 de setembro) aqui, depois de uma pré‑venda de artista no mesmo horário na quarta-feira (23 de setembro).

For the North American dates, Citi and Spotify pre-sales begin tomorrow (September 21), before an artist pre-sale on Wednesday. General sale begins at 10am local time on Thursday (September 24) here.

Speaking about the upcoming shows, Green said: “The Gnarls Barkley ‘To Whom It Still Concerns’ Tour operates like an open book, exploring the universal matters of life, death and everything in between.

The full list of Gnarls Barkley’s 2026 tour dates is.

The shows come after Gnarls Barkley ended an 18-year recording hiatus earlier this year with ‘Pictures’, the first single from their third and final album ‘Atlanta’.

Announcing the record in February, the pair described it as a “capstone to the Gnarls Barkley story”. The album arrived in March, following 2006 debut ‘St. Elsewhere’ and 2008’s ‘The Odd Couple’.

Green previously described comeback track ‘Pictures’ as “like going back to square one”, adding: “It’s a full circle moment. The song came from a childhood experience.”.

Gnarls Barkley first broke through internationally with ‘Crazy’ in 2006. The track became the first single to top the UK charts based solely on digital downloads and remained at Number One for nine consecutive weeks.
