Chilli Jesson’s Dead Dads Club have lined up a run of UK headline shows this May

Chilli Jesson's Dead Dads Club have confirmed a run of UK headline dates set to take place throughout May 2026, spanning eight shows across England, Wales and beyond.

Jesson, who previously fronted Palma Violets, launched Dead Dads Club as his most personal musical endeavour to date. Produced by Fontaines D.C.'s Carlos O'Connell and co-written with Rupert Greaves, the project's self-titled debut arrived via Fiction Records in January.

The album explores Jesson's experience of losing his father to drug addiction at the age of 14, with singles including 'That's Life', 'Don't Blame The Son For The Sins Of The Father', 'Goosebumps' and 'Volatile Child'.

The upcoming tour kicks off at Birmingham's Sunflower Lounge before winding through Cardiff, Brighton, Norwich, London, Bedford, Liverpool and wrapping up at Zerox in Southampton. Tickets are available now.
