Transvision Vamp announce first UK tour since 1991 for October 2026
Transvision Vamp have announced their first UK tour since 1991. The 16-date tour will begin on October 6th in Newcastle and includes a London show at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire. The tour will also travel to Belfast and Dublin.
The band recently wrapped up a sold-out tour in Australia and New Zealand. In September, Transvision Vamp will play Portugal and Spain directly before heading to the UK.
Transvision Vamp’s iconic frontwoman Wendy James says, “Words cannot express the feelings I have to be touring Transvision Vamp again! Joy! Thrill!! The band’s history, which began in 1988, has passed through many eras! And yet, here we are, belting out the very songs which captured everyone’s hearts all those years ago. It is fresh, it is redux, it is powerful”. She recalls: “I am surrounded by the best musicians in the world, and when we take to the stage, it is a force to be reckoned with. We take no prisoners. The crowds are ecstatic, and we meet as partners: The Band and The Audience are equal partners in this incredible show. I cannot wait to bring it to the UK and plant our flag!”
