Rick Astley

Multimillion selling global star Rick Astley has today announced a major UK and Ireland arena tour for April 2026. Kicking things off at Glasgow OVO Hydro on 10th April, Rick will perform twelve dates culminating with a huge headline show at London’s The O2 on 25th April. Rick will also be joined by very special guest Gabrielle.
 
Rick Astley’s story is a remarkable career of two chapters. Way back in 1987, he became an unlikely global phenomenon as his era-defining smash ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’ established him as an international chart-topping, BRIT Award winning global star - a status heightened by further hits such as ‘Whenever You Need Somebody’ and ‘Together Forever’. His debut album, ‘Whenever You Need Somebody’, sold 15.2m copies worldwide and made him a household name. But then he stepped away from the spotlight, seemingly leaving that chapter of his life firmly in the past.
