Aldous Harding will embark on a tour of the United Kingdom, Europe, and North America in 2026

New Zealand’s critically acclaimed singer-songwriter Aldous Harding has revealed details of her highly anticipated 2026 world tour, marking her first series of live performances since 2023. The extensive itinerary will see Harding take her evocative and distinctive sound across the UK, Europe, and North America, delighting fans with a rare opportunity to experience her live artistry.

The UK and Ireland leg of the tour kicks off in May, beginning with two highly anticipated dates at London’s Barbican. Additional performances are scheduled in Bristol, Glasgow, Dublin, Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham, and several other major cities. Following the British and Irish shows, Harding will bring her mesmerizing performances to European audiences during the summer months, before heading to North America in October.

This tour comes on the heels of a ten-show support slot in Australia and New Zealand, where Harding joined Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, further cementing her reputation as one of the most compelling live performers of her generation.

Harding last performed at the Barbican in 2023, playing two sold-out shows in support of her acclaimed album Warm Chris. Preceded by the singles “Lawn” and “Fever,” the album received a four-star review from NME, which praised its “sparse and deliberate instrumentation” and highlighted Harding’s ability to “gently disorientate rather than ever let its listener settle.” The review continued: “Harding’s endless twists and turns are nothing if not engaging… if you embrace Warm Chris’ strangeness, you’ll be justly rewarded.”

In addition to her live performances, Harding is currently working on the follow-up to Warm Chris, and has recently collaborated with Sleaford Mods on their new single “Elitest G.O.A.T.,” released on 12 January 2026. This partnership marks an exciting new chapter in Harding’s ever-evolving musical journey.
