Good Charlotte are heading back to the UK this autumn with two newly announced arena shows as part of their Motel Du Cap Tour.
The pop-punk favourites will bring the tour to London and Manchester this November, joined by special guests Yellowcard for what’s shaping up to be one of the biggest nostalgia-driven alternative tours of the year.
UK Tour Dates
The newly announced UK dates include:
November 2026
19 – The O2, London
20 – Co-op Live, Manchester
The shows form part of the wider Motel Du Cap Tour, which will see the band headline dates across Europe throughout autumn 2026.
A Big Return for Good Charlotte
The Motel Du Cap Tour marks Good Charlotte’s biggest UK headline shows in years, continuing the huge wave of renewed interest around early 2000s pop-punk and alternative rock.
Since breaking through with albums like The Young and the Hopeless and The Chronicles of Life and Death, the band have remained one of the defining names of the era, with tracks like “The Anthem,” “Girls & Boys” and “Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous” still pulling huge reactions live.
Now, with nostalgia for 2000s pop-punk stronger than ever, the move back into UK arenas feels well-timed.
Yellowcard Join the Tour
Joining the run as special guests are Yellowcard, adding another major name from the genre’s peak era onto the bill.
Best known for tracks like “Ocean Avenue” and “Only One,” the band became one of the standout acts of the 2000s pop-punk wave thanks to their mix of melodic hooks and violin-driven production.
Together, the lineup gives the tour a distinctly early-2000s feel — now scaled up for arenas.
What to Expect from the Shows
Fans can expect a setlist packed with the songs that helped define pop-punk’s mainstream breakthrough, with both bands likely to lean heavily into fan favourites.
Good Charlotte’s live shows remain built around crowd interaction and big singalong moments, while Yellowcard continue to bring the emotional, high-energy style that made them festival and arena staples during the genre’s peak.
For many fans, these shows are likely to feel equal parts concert and throwback event.
Tickets and Presales
Tickets for the UK dates will be released in phases, with artist and venue presales running ahead of the general sale.
An artist presale is expected to begin on Wednesday 27 May at 10am local time, followed by additional venue and promoter presales.
General sale will then open on Friday 29 May at 10am local time.
With only two UK arena dates currently announced — and both bands carrying major nostalgia appeal — demand is expected to be extremely high.
The Bottom Line
Good Charlotte’s Motel Du Cap Tour brings two of pop-punk’s most recognisable bands back to UK arenas for a pair of major headline shows.
For fans of the era, it’s shaping up to be one of the biggest alternative live events of autumn 2026.
