DEAD PONY REVEAL HEADLINE SHOWS
Glasgow rock band Dead Pony have officially announced a headline run of shows for May and June 2026, marking a significant milestone for the rising alt-rock quartet. Titled the Eat My Dust! UK Headline Tour, the trek features eight dates across the United Kingdom, kicking off at Nottingham's Beta on May 26th and hitting cities including Manchester, Birmingham, and Cardiff before concluding at London’s iconic Underworld on June 4th. While support acts for these performances are still to be announced, the tour promises an elevated live experience featuring fresh material following the band's acclaimed debut album and recent Scottish Album of the Year nomination.
The band shared, “Can’t wait to get back out on the road for our “Eat My Dust!” Headline tour. The reaction to the single has blown us away and it feels like the rooms are going to erupt when we play the new tracks. We have been busy in the studio building a really unique and special new live show, the fans are going to love it.”

The latest single, ‘Eat My Dust!;, marks a powerful return for the band following the critical acclaim of their debut album, which earned a prestigious nomination for Scottish Album of the Year and fueled a successful string of chart positions, tours, and festival appearances. Guitarist Blair Crichton describes the track as being "written about moving on from negative things in your past, bettering yourself and letting the haters choke on your dust cloud as you pass them."
In this new chapter, the band has intentionally leaned into heavier sonic influences, with Crichton noting that "the drums and guitar have a metalcore vibe to them which is something we want to explore more in the future." After a significant year of growth and change, the band views this single as the definitive declaration of their new direction. As Crichton concludes, "We’ve been through quite a transformational period over the last year and this felt like the perfect mission statement to come out with after some time away from releasing music."
