**ALTER BRIDGE ANNOUNCE 2026 UK & IRELAND ARENA TOUR IN SUPPORT OF POWERFUL SELF-TITLED EIGHTH ALBUM**
Rock titans Alter Bridge—Myles Kennedy, Mark Tremonti, Brian Marshall, and Scott Phillips—have officially announced their return to UK and Irish arenas in early 2026, bringing the thunder of their self-titled eighth studio album to life on the massive “What Lies Within” European Tour.
The arena leg kicks off in late February and continues into March 2026, hitting major cities including Newcastle, Manchester, Dublin, Glasgow, London, and Nottingham. Known for their explosive live shows and unwavering musicianship, Alter Bridge promise a setlist packed with fan favorites and emotionally charged new material from their latest release, *Alter Bridge*, which dropped in January to critical acclaim.
Recorded over two intense months with longtime producer Michael “Elvis” Baskette—at both the iconic 5150 Studios in California and Baskette’s own studio in Florida—the album marks a triumphant return to the band’s core identity. Raw, melodic, and thunderously heavy, *Alter Bridge* has been hailed as their most personal and powerful work to date.
Myles Kennedy shared his excitement about the tour, saying, “This album digs deep, and we can’t wait to bring it to fans across the UK and Ireland. Every song means something, and performing them live is going to be a cathartic experience—for us and the audience.”
With Tremonti’s razor-sharp riffs, Kennedy’s soaring vocals, and a rhythm section as tight as ever, Alter Bridge are ready to remind fans why they remain one of modern rock’s most enduring forces.
Tickets are expected to sell fast as anticipation builds for what is sure to be one of the most talked-about rock tours of 2026. The countdown begins—Alter Bridge is coming, and they’re bringing everything
they’ve got.
