Cabaret Voltaire have shared details of their final UK tour, taking place in 2026. Find new dates and ticket information below.
The announcement was shared today (Wednesday October 29), and comes following the band performing in Sheffield over the weekend at the Sensoria Festival. Now, Stephen ‘Mal’ Mallinder and Chris Watson have confirmed that their final tour dates in the UK will be taking place in 2026, with dates kicking off at Birmingham Town Hall on October 10.
Gazelle Twin will join the band for all of the newly announced tour dates, and 11 shows have been scheduled, continuing on October 11 in Liverpool, October 13 in Nottingham, and the following night in Cardiff.
After that, the band will make stops in Bath, Newcastle, Glasgow, Manchester and Bexhill throughout the rest of the month, before heading to London for a penultimate show at the Roundhouse on October 22. Dates conclude with a final performance in Sheffield, taking place at the Octagon on October 25.
“What a wonderful opportunity to go round the block one more time and share that with one of the most unique and spectacular artists we know,” said Stephen Mallinder. “The connective tissue between ourselves, our history, and the world Gazelle Twin now conjures up, will be out there and shared with people. It seems like a special, magical moment.”
Tickets go on sale at 10am GMT this Friday (October 31), and pre-sale options open tomorrow (Thursday October 30) at the same time. Visit here for tickets.

The new tour dates come on the heels of Cabaret Voltaire kicking off their 2025 tour dates next month, which celebrates 50 years.
Those shows see support from CURRENTMOODGIRL, Soborgnost, Vanishing, and more, and see the band look back at how they launched the electronic group at Sheffield Students Union Refectory back in May 1975.
“The live set is built from scratch but faithful to the original tracks,” Mallinder explained. “Everything has been painstakingly reconstructed with the original technology and processes to build the tracks. But as with all Cabs live shows there is an element of unpredictable, the new. Chance meets causality.”
Chris Watson continued: “I’m delighted and totally thrilled to make a contribution to the band’s 50th anniversary. To share a stage once more with Mal and to honour Cabaret Voltaire’s legacy will be a unique privilege, whilst remembering that in the current times – as back then – the Dadaist interventions of Cabaret Voltaire remain essential.”
