“Can't wait to see ye all again”: The Scratch announce their biggest-ever UK tour for 2027

The Scratch have confirmed their “biggest ever” UK shows will take place in early 2027.

The Dublin folk-metallers have just wrapped up a UK tour supporting new album Pull Like A Dog, on which they had to upgrade the venues on several of the dates, including in Manchester, Birmingham and London. They'll be back over here in January 2027, playing some even bigger rooms.

“It’s mind blowing to think we’ll be playing rooms like this in the UK so thank you so much for your support of this band and this album," the band wrote in a post on Instagram. "Can’t wait to see ye all again.”

Tickets for the new UK dates go on general sale this Friday, May 8 from 10am local time.

Prior to their last UK tour, The Scratch made a flying visit in February for a mini tour of Irish pubs across London. They also stopped by Blondies to perform for us in the K! Pit in March.

The Scratch will also be over in the UK this summer to play 2000trees and Bloodstock.
