Paul Heaton UK TOUR 2026

Thursday, October 29, 2026 - Utilita Arena, Newcastle upon Tyne

• Paul Heaton
• Rianne Downey
• The Lightning Seeds

Paul Heaton launches his 10-date UK arena tour at Utilita Arena Newcastle on 29 October 2026, backed by a bill rooted in alternative rock, indie pop and britpop. The Lightning Seeds bring their melodic alternative rock and electronic-tinged britpop, setting the stage with arena-tested hooks. Rianne Downey follows with material that has already taken her to venues like Omeara and The Band on the Wall, adding a contemporary songwriting edge. Together they frame Heaton’s headline set in a guitar-led context that links classic and modern strands of British pop and rock for this opening-night performance.
