Culture Club are heading back out on the road this winter with a newly announced UK arena tour, officially titled The Singles Tour.
The run will see Boy George and co. return to major venues across the country in December 2026, celebrating the songs that made them one of the biggest bands of the 1980s — and they’ll be joined by fellow pop icons ABC and Haircut 100 along the way.
UK Tour Dates
The newly announced arena dates include:
December 2026

The tour wraps up with a huge closing night at London’s O2.
A Celebration of the Hits
As the name suggests, The Singles Tour is all about the songs people know and love.
Culture Club built one of the most recognisable catalogues of the decade with tracks like “Karma Chameleon,” “Do You Really Want to Hurt Me,” “Church of the Poison Mind” and “Time (Clock of the Heart),” helping define the sound — and style — of ’80s British pop.
More than four decades on, those songs still hold up surprisingly well live, and the band have continued to draw big crowds whenever they return to the stage.
This tour feels like a celebration of a catalogue that’s genuinely lasted.
Special Guests Across the Tour
Joining Culture Club on the run will be ABC and Haircut 100, making the whole thing feel like a full-scale throwback to the golden era of British pop.
For fans of that period, it’s a lineup stacked with familiar songs and recognisable names rather than a standard support setup.
What to Expect from the Shows
Culture Club shows tend to lean heavily into the atmosphere and energy of the era they came from — colourful, theatrical and built around crowd favourites.
Fans can expect a setlist packed with the biggest singles, alongside full support sets from ABC and Haircut 100.
And with Boy George still front and centre, the live shows continue to carry the personality that made the band stand out in the first place.
Tickets and Presales
Tickets for The Singles Tour will go on sale in phases, with venue presales beginning on Thursday 28 May at 9:30am BST.
General sale then opens on Friday 29 May at 9:30am BST through official ticketing outlets.
Given the nostalgia factor — and the strength of the lineup overall — demand is expected to be high across the run, especially for the Manchester, Glasgow and London dates.
The Bottom Line
The Singles Tour feels designed for fans who want to hear the songs they grew up with played on a full arena scale.
With Culture Club, ABC and Haircut 100 all on the same bill, it’s shaping up to be one of the biggest nostalgia tours of winter 2026.
