Ash

Ash have carved out a distinctive place in British alternative rock since their formation in Northern Ireland in 1989. Renowned for their melodic sensibility and energetic fusion of alternative rock and Britpop, Ash have remained a fixture of the UK’s live music scene for over three decades. Their classic album “1977” is a touchstone for enthusiasts of the genre, while more recent releases like “Race the Night” (2023) and the forthcoming “Ad Astra” (October 2025) underscore a prolific output and a band continually refreshed by new creative sparks.

Live, Ash consistently demonstrate why their concerts are celebrated for raw energy and anthemic choruses. In February 2026, they headlined venues across the UK as part of the AD ASTRA TOUR, including stops at The Trinity Centre in Bristol, Epic Studios in Norwich, and The Welly in Hull. Their enduring relevance is further marked by the “1977 30th Anniversary Tour,” which is set to visit venues such as the O2 Academy in Leeds and Albert Hall in Manchester in December 2026. Whether it’s a packed club or a major city hall, Ash’s gigs deliver the sort of communal excitement and guitar-driven dynamism that have defined their career.

With a legacy deeply rooted in alternative and Britpop history, Ash continue to draw in fans old and new. Stay connected with Ash to keep up with their music releases and to find out about tour dates and concert announcements, ensuring you never miss a chance to experience their live show.
