grandson has announced a 2026 UK and European headline tour, following the release of his new album ‘INERTIA’ on 5th September. The run includes dates at Manchester Academy and London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town.
‘INERTIA’ sees grandson addressing issues including a new wave of fascism, a rise in misogyny, an assault on queer rights and the Palestinian solidarity movement. He recently headlined Glastonbury’s activism and debate hub, the Left Field Stage.
grandson, real name Jordan Benjamin, says, “The moment I’ve been waiting 2 years for since the last headline tour ended is finally here- we are bringing the resistance back to Europe. This is one gig where you can be yourself and lose yourself- not just in the music, but in the collective spirit of a thousand other souls who stand for what you stand for all rising up at once and saying. “We’re not gonna take this shit anymore”. When the lights go down and the first note hits it’s going to be mayhem. Can’t wait…”
Tickets go on general sale from 10am BST / 11am CET on 5th September. Pinkshift will support from Munich to Hamburg, then rejoin from Milan through to Glasgow. VOWER will support from Warsaw through to Zagreb.
