Good Charlotte have announced a UK and European tour for later this year, marking the band’s first UK headline shows since 2019. The Maryland pop-punk favourites will hit the road throughout November with special guests Yellowcard, kicking off in Stockholm before heading through Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and France. The run concludes with two major UK dates at London’s O2 on 19 November and Manchester’s Co-op Live on 20 November.
The announcement arrives as the band prepare to headline Slam Dunk Festival this weekend alongside Sublime, giving UK fans an early chance to see them back on stage before the full tour begins later this year. Support across the entire run will come from fellow pop-punk favourites Yellowcard, making it a particularly nostalgic line-up for fans who grew up on the genre’s early 2000s heyday.
The full tour dates are:
8 November – Stockholm, Sweden – Hovet
11 November – Munich, Germany – Zenith
13 November – Brussels, Belgium – Forest National
14 November – Düsseldorf, Germany – Mitsubishi Electric Halle
16 November – Amsterdam, Netherlands – AFAS Live
17 November – Paris, France – Zenith Paris
19 November – London, England – The O2
20 November – Manchester, England – Co-op Live
Tickets go on general sale at 10am local time on 29 May, while a presale begins at the same time on 26 May. Good Charlotte also confirmed that GC Rewards members will receive one hour of early access to the presale.
The tour comes in support of the band’s most recent album, Motel Du Cap, which was released last August as their first studio album in seven years. Produced by former Bring Me The Horizon member Jordan Fish alongside Zakk Cervini, the record featured singles including “Rejects” and “Stepper”.
For many fans, the combination of Good Charlotte and Yellowcard at the same gig will be reason enough to grab tickets. Add in the band’s long-awaited return to UK headline arenas, and these shows are likely to be among the most talked-about pop-punk dates of the autumn.
For CultureCues, Good Charlotte’s return already brings plenty of pop-punk nostalgia with it, and adding Yellowcard to the bill only makes the whole thing seem even more built for fans of that era. Arena-sized singalongs, old favourites and a full night of throwback energy? That sounds like a pretty great time to us.
