Following a triumphant run of shows earlier this year, alternative rock force THE HARA have officially announced a brand-new UK headline tour scheduled for this coming December. Dedicated followers can gain early access to pre-sale tickets starting at 10am BST on Wednesday 3 June by signing up to THE HARA's exclusive 'House of Sin' Patreon community. For the wider public, general sale tickets will officially become available at 10am BST on Thursday 4 June.

The highly anticipated winter run kicks off on 03 December at the Cathouse in Glasgow, followed by a hometown celebration at Rebellion in Manchester on 04 December. From there, the band moves to the Asylum in Birmingham on 05 December, the Exchange in Bristol on 06 December, and the Joiners in Southampton on 08 December, before wrapping up the UK leg at the legendary Underworld in London on 09 December. In addition to these home territory dates, the trio will also be crossing the channel in November for a string of European performances, hitting Eindhoven in the Netherlands, Köln and Munich in Germany, as well as Prague and Brno in the Czech Republic.

Reflecting on the emotional weight of these upcoming shows and the evolution of their music, guitarist Zack Breen says, “THE FALLOUT was us tearing everything down and rebuilding louder, heavier, and more honest. The way the fans have ferociously made it their own has been insane. Going back on tour now feels like lighting the fuse - we are ready to bring the chaos.”

Frontman Josh Taylor shares that sentiment, emphasizing how much the new material thrives in a massive live environment. “THE FALLOUT was made for our live shows. Pure energy & riffs throughout & storytelling that deserves big stages, so we cannot wait to get this record back out for round 2 in bigger venues across the UK & Europe! Let’s make each night an experience we will all never forget.”

The Manchester-based outfit are currently rounding off an absolutely incredible 12 months, a monumental period that has seen the release of their highly anticipated latest album THE FALLOUT. The record has picked up widespread, heavyweight support from major tastemakers including BBC Radio 1 Introducing, Kerrang! Radio, Metal Hammer magazine, Kerrang! magazine, and SXM Octane, alongside landing prominent playlisting slots across major digital streaming platforms such as Spotify, Amazon, Apple, and Deezer, among others.

This follows an intense period of touring, which saw the band blitz around the UK on a massive run supporting As December Falls through October and November of last year. They then quickly hopped over to Switzerland to support alternative metal giants Nothing More, and barely paused for breath as they wrapped up the calendar year on an extensive co-headline run across mainland Europe. The momentum only snowballed into 2026, which kicked off officially with the highly anticipated drop of THE FALLOUT in January. The album release instantly ignited their headline UK tour, generating a wave of completely sold-out shows that stretched from January all the way through to March. Looking ahead immediately into June, they will be joining alternative pop-icon Scene Queen for a special show in Budapest before embarking on a German tour alongside post-hardcore mainstays Escape the Fate.

Their 2026 summer festival calendar is rapidly filling up, with appearances coming thick and fast across the globe. The band are locked in to perform at Teddy Rocks (UK), Takedown (UK), Bospop (Netherlands), Radar (UK), Slavnosti (Czech Republic), Nu_Blood festival (Poland), and Mangata in Nottingham.

This relentless scheduling comes as no surprise given that their live reputation is boiling over. Their chaotic, energetic stage presence has previously earned them coveted support slots with pop-punk giants Sum 41 and horror-rockers Ice Nine Kills. They have rapidly made a definitive name for themselves across the major festival circuit, leaving permanent marks on iconic stages at Download, Slam Dunk, 2000 Trees, Kendal Calling, TRNSMT, Tramlines, Truck, Boomtown Fair, and the legendary Reading and Leeds Festival. Furthermore, they have extended their live reach across Europe with massive main stage performances at Rock For People and Mighty Sounds Festival in the Czech Republic.

Never content with sitting still or restricting their creative output, they have also dropped major collaborations, teaming up with As December Falls’ Bethany Hunter Jiménez on the explosive track ‘Violence’, and with Ukrainian rock heavyweights The Hardkiss on the emotive single ‘I Love You’. Beyond the music, singer Josh Taylor has announced an impressive philanthropic endeavor, cycling 175 miles in just 2 days for charity with the Heavy Metal Truants. His journey will take him all the way to Bloodstock festival to raise vital funds for Save The Children, Teenage Cancer Trust, Childline, and Nordoff Robbins, with more information available directly via their official links.

It is this exact combination of a frenetic, unpredictable live presence and heart-on-sleeve, emotionally raw songwriting that has allowed the group to build an incredibly formidable bond with their dedicated fanbase. The live-wire single ‘Easier to Die’ intimately follows the painful theme of losing hope in the relentless pursuit of success and subsequently succumbing to negative thoughts, a heavy concept that also runs deep through the dark, intoxicating atmosphere of ‘Stay’. Meanwhile, the anthemic track ‘Kings’ tackles the bitter reality of losing trust, and ‘Twist the Arrows’ serves as a vivid sonic portrait of the constant, dramatic pendulum swing between pure elation and crushing disappointment.

For those who still do not know what to expect from one of their chaotic live shows, you can just ask Metal Hammer, who raved that “The band had the crowd bouncing from the outset. There are circle-pits, crowdsurfers and deafening roars of approval throughout.”

THE HARA are comprised of charismatic vocalist Josh Taylor, powerhouse drummer Jack Kennedy, and riff-master guitarist Zack Breen, and they are officially bringing their off-the-hook party back around for another unforgettable round.

The full tour routing and dates have been mapped out below, with tickets available officially at the band's website.

On 06 June, they play Slavnosti Břeclav Festival in the Czech Republic, followed by a show on 17 June at Dürer Kert in Budapest, Hungary with Scene Queen.

They follow this with the Nu_Blood festival in Kraków, Poland on 24 June, Bospop Festival in Weert, Netherlands on 10 July, Radar Festival in Manchester, UK on 01 August, and Mangata Festival in Nottingham, UK on 05 September.
