Following the announcement of of their new studio album ‘Trixies’, British band Squeeze has announced their latest UK tour in the group’s 50 year career.
The 16-date Tried, Tested and Trixies Tour, starting at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on November 12th and ending at the Brighton Centre on December 5th, will see the band headline several arenas for the first time – including a hometown show at London’s O2 Arena just three miles from where the band started. Joining Squeeze on the tour as Very Special Guest will be singer, songwriter and activist Billy Bragg.
Tickets for the tour are on sale now.
Speaking about the tour Tilbrook said, “The reaction to the 50th anniversary tour in 2024 was amazing. We have never sounded better and it feels really special to be looking forward to playing the biggest headline shows of our career. And having Billy Bragg on the same bill, what’s not to love!”. Difford added, “It’s going to be amazing to show off songs from our album Trixies and, of course, all the hits and some surprises. I’m also excited that Billy Bragg will be joining us for all the shows.”
In addition, Squeeze have confirmed that they will, once again, be supporting the charity Trussell, which provides emergency food and support to people who cannot afford the essentials, while campaigning for change to end the need for food banks in the UK. Fans are invited to bring along food donations to the shows, where there will be collection points across the venue each night. There will also be collection buckets for any cash donations. All donations will be distributed to people facing hardship across the 1,400 food bank centres in the Trussell network.
Recently announced, Squeeze’s new album ‘Trixies’ will be released on March 6, 2026. Their first album in eight years but the first they ever wrote, ‘Trixies’ is collection of stories set in a fictional night club written by the teenage Difford (19) and Tilbrook (16) at the very start of their songwriting partnership.
