Kasabian have announced a new UK arena tour for December 2026, with The Vaccines joining them as special guests. The Leicester band will head out on the Nothing Better Than This tour later this year, playing five arena shows across Birmingham, Glasgow, Cardiff, London and Manchester. The run follows Kasabian’s sold-out headline show at London’s Finsbury Park, where they played to 45,000 people in what marked their biggest London crowd to date.
Tickets for the tour will be available through an artist presale from 9am on Wednesday 15 July, before general sale begins at 9am on Friday 17 July. See below for their announced UK dates.
Friday 11 December – Birmingham, Utilita Arena
Sunday 13 December – Glasgow, OVO Hydro
Wednesday 16 December – Cardiff, Utilita Arena
Friday 18 December – London, The O2
Saturday 19 December – Manchester, Co-op Live
The tour takes its name from “Nothing Better Than This,” a track from Kasabian’s upcoming ninth album Act III. The album is now due on 4 September, after being pushed back from its original July date for final adjustments. Act III follows 2022’s The Alchemist’s Euphoria and 2024’s Happenings, continuing the band’s current era with Serge Pizzorno at the front. Kasabian have already shared tracks including “Superpowers,” “Great Pretender” and “Hippie Sunshine” from the new record.
Kasabian still have a packed summer schedule, including festival appearances at Boardmasters, Victorious Festival and Leeds Festival, where they are set to headline the first-ever Thursday night main stage slot.
The Vaccines joining the tour makes this a major bill for UK indie fans. Between Kasabian’s arena-ready catalogue and The Vaccines’ own run of singalong favourites, this feels built for big crowds.
