The tour spans seven arena dates across the UK and Ireland, closing with a headline show in Birmingham.
A New Era for the Band
The Stray Dogs Tour arrives alongside the announcement of Nothing But Thieves’ fifth studio album, Stray Dogs.
Over the past decade, the Southend-on-Sea band have steadily grown from cult alternative favourites into one of the UK’s most reliable arena-level rock acts, blending heavy guitars, electronic textures and huge choruses into a sound that’s continued to evolve with each release.
Albums like Broken Machine, Moral Panic and Dead Club City helped push the band into bigger venues and festival headline slots — and Stray Dogs looks set to continue that momentum.
What to Expect from the Shows
Nothing But Thieves’ live shows are known for their balance of atmosphere and intensity, shifting between quieter moments and explosive arena-sized peaks.
Fans can expect a setlist featuring tracks like “Amsterdam,” “Impossible,” “Sorry,” “Futureproof” and “Welcome to the DCC,” alongside brand new material from Stray Dogs.
Their recent arena runs have also leaned further into large-scale visuals and lighting production while keeping the energy that defined their earlier club shows.
Support on the Tour
Support acts for the UK and Ireland dates are expected to be announced closer to the tour.
With the band sitting at the centre of the modern alternative rock scene, anticipation is already building around who could join the run.
Tickets and Presales
Tickets for the Stray Dogs Tour will be released in phases, with multiple presales running ahead of the general sale.
Fans who pre-order Stray Dogs through the band’s official store are expected to gain access to an exclusive artist presale beginning on Wednesday 27 May at 10am local time.
Additional venue and promoter presales are also expected to take place before general sale opens on Friday 29 May at 10am local time.
With the band continuing to grow as a live act — and a limited number of arena dates announced — demand is expected to be high throughout the run.
The Bottom Line
The Stray Dogs Tour marks another major arena step for Nothing But Thieves, bringing a brand new album era to some of the biggest venues of their career so far.
For fans, it’s set to be one of the standout UK rock tours of early 2027.
