Chris Slade - Dave Hill's SLADE - UK Tour 2026 - It's Christmaaaas!

Sunday, December 20, 2026 - O2 Ritz Manchester, Manchester

Dave Hill's SLADE bring their 2026 UK run to O2 Ritz Manchester on 20 December, with long-time sticksman Chris Slade behind the kit. Known for his energetic live drumming and technical finesse on tracks like “2 Minutes to Midnight”, “Hey Jude”, “It’s a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock & Roll)” and “The Trooper”, Slade adds heavyweight rhythm to the show. Presented by academy events, PINK DOT and Abbie Carter of Hal Carter Organisation, this Manchester date drops just before Christmas, with the band leaning into their “It’s Christmaaaas!” tour spirit in a classic live room.
