Billy Ocean 2026 UK tour: Presale, dates, venues, and more explored

Legendary British soul and pop singer Billy Ocean has officially announced a new series of outdoor headline shows across the UK for summer 2026. Following his recent tours and festival appearances, Billy Ocean is all set to hit the road once again. He will be joined by special guest Marti Pellow.

The announcement follows Billy Ocean's relatively busy touring schedule in 2025 and early 2026, which also includes a North American leg in March and multiple festival slots. Fans can expect the icon to perform some of his most beloved hits, including "Caribbean Queen (No More Love on the Run)" and "Red Light Spells Danger," among others.

Billy Ocean took to her official Instagram page to announce the upcoming 2026 UK trek, captioning:

"The party doesn't stop. Next summer Billy will be hitting the road for a series of headlining UK shows, with very special guest @martipellowofficial. Stay tuned for a special artist pre-sale starting 10am, Wednesday Oct 15."

Billy Ocean rose to fame in the mid-1970s with the hit "Love Really Hurts Without You." Throughout the 1980s, he dominated global charts with songs such as "When the Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Going," "Suddenly," "Loverboy," and "Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car."
